Man, you really are bummed...you quoted it twice. Ha!  Understand completely.  A 5pm start time makes it pretty tough for some folks to attend.  Some folks can take off a bit early...some definitely cannot. Some are local so it helps...others not so much.

I was recently told that Coach Harrell is really high on the kid out of Oklahoma, Mason Fine, and really wants the kid at UNT as a QB.  Will be interesting to see how this develops.

Also...was told that Coach Littrell still expects to sign a few more players before the deadline...maybe up to the full 25.  We could be in store for a pleasant surprise or two if a couple of things fall UNT's way before the deadline.  We will know come Wednesday, and get to hear about it from the coaching staff on Wednesday, Feb. 3rd from 5-7pm at Apogee's Hub Club room.  Here's hoping for a big turn out to meet and greet our new coaching staff, and to find a bit out about the UNT recruiting class of 2016!

Your source is either way wrong, some stealth recruiting happened and some guys are committed that we don't know about, or Littrell is violating dead period NCAA regulations.

Really?  OK...so if we have a full 25 or close to it, it is only because we are breaking the rules?  Got it.

It is, however, very possible that he has them "in hand" but has not announced and will not until signing day, right?  And what rule is he breaking if he picks a few more up between today and tomorrow if that's when a kid decides?  Perhaps you are quibbling with my use of "signed" instead of committed?

Of course, a source can be wrong, but it is positive news to me even if we get close to 25.

2/1/2016 thru 2/4/2016 is a dead period, but head coach and his assistants can still telephone, text or write to recruits and their parents.  No face to face allowed.  
 

ETA: BTW if you ever want to know what the periods are, the NCAA always posts a pdf calendar.  This year's is here.

With his knowledge of (and demonstrated performance in) a similar system, I have felt that Fine will work out well. Fine has the drive to succeed here. We seem to be set for this fall; give Fine a year to build strength and adapt to the higher level of play in practice and he should be competent in a year. Bring in one or two others as the opportunities present themselves, and we should have a good QB corps going forward. JMO.

Augie going the Prep School route?  What does that even mean and how does it work if he is a senior?

It's the same concept as grayshirting. By not enrolling in a college as a full-time student (12 hours), they delay their eligibility counter starting. However, instead of just staying at home training and taking <12 hours, they go to these prep schools and play for a team. They can then be re-recruited and, unlike going the juco route, still have all of their elgigbitly when they get to the university.

As stated....recruiting still goes on...even in the so-called dead period.  It is only "dead" for face-to-face visits.  Lots of other communication methods.  Am sure Coach knows this and will use his remaining time appropriately.

      Attendance question

      What sort of deal on the tickets did students get for this game? Felt like the only ones I saw there were either on the field or in the band.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      I usually think pretty highly of our band but I feel like their song selection/amount has been very down this year. We were playing some midass Killers and then Texas State sparked up a very jamming/danceable kind of song a couple of minutes later and it was a pretty stark contrast. Hell, their band played Neck twice. We're bigger and better but they sounded flat and unenthused. They didn't play fly like an eagle once and that used to be their signature song.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      You can analyze every game to see where you can improve, and that happens on here and of course in the coaching room. As does with all other teams. I think the frustration point is that the "figuring out how to get real victories" hasn't happened. That's the whole point of the moral victory conversation. I love the story about Drew doing what he did. It was amazing and got us great national coverage, but just like the year we did the return heard round the world against Arkansas, what happened after that? It's one of those things that when you have been a fan for 20 years, you stop looking at these little things that happen that don't mean a ton in the grand scheme of things. If this was my first 5 years following this program, I might be over the moon about the DC hire and what MIGHT happen based on what I see on paper, but I have been burned too many times that way with this program. Not to mention, it happened a year too late. I really don't like being so negative about my team, but I hate the feeling of letdown way more.

      It's even more that way now with most of the players being just contracted employees rather than loyal and committed to the program.

      Attendance question

      This was only Texas State's second ever Bowl game, after their last year's same game. Of course they show up...it's still new to them. It reminds me when we had 4 straight New Orleans Bowls. We felt like we were Big 12 ready. Also, we ended our season 1-5 and lost our starting QB and best receiver for the game to NIL and Portal. That cost us easily 5,000 more fans.
