Spring Game/Practice

[MeanGreen_MBA]

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make this years events.  My niece is getting married that afternoon (not great planning for sure).

 

let's get an official ROLE CALL on record of who can make it to the practice/simulated game/scrimmage....BASICALLY SUPPORT the team....  yes/no/reason please

 

Me: No/ family commitment (but wish I could be there)

[foutsrouts]

I think I'll play the ROLE of spectator, since I don't think my NCAA eligibility appeal has a snowball's chance of success.  

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

I will be there

Gonna be there with my Aggie friend. Show him what a real spring game looks like

[cjones]

Going to my first Spring game ever!  And first experience in the new stadium!  Driving up from Houston!

 

What can I expect at the game?  Garage sale?  Are former players there to meet?  should I bring my own roster or do they hand them out?  any other advice for game day?

[Hunter Green]

There.

 

[Marty]

Will be there with 2 teenagers. Gonna load up at the garage sale & then enjoy the game.

[Harry]

Going to be there and can't wait.  It will be fun just to see the type of offense and defensive schemes they are using.  Also interested to see the tempo.

[bstnsportsfan3]

I'm going. Should be good weather

[North Texas Shep]

Not going... Back surgery the day before. Will be watching on my iPad at home, on lots of drugs.

[UNTLifer]

Not going to be able to make the 5 hour drive this year due to kid's activities.  Glad to hear I can watch on my tablet.

Well, I won't be at the scrimmage for the first time in over a decade. I must be in Temple to help with my granddaughter.  See you all in the fall.

Sorry you had to miss. If it's any consolation, you've been right. Shanbour is the best QB we've got on the roster. Based on today, I'd start him against SMU.

[GrayEagle]

I have to agree with Silver.  His passing was sharp; he made quick decisions;  and he's a threat to run if his receivers are covered.  

BTW, where was Willy Ivery?

[Ben Gooding]

I'm all in on Shanbour. Morris was better than what we have had at QB the last few years but nothing overwhelming, at all. Very DT-esque.

Morris looked better than anything I have seen at UNT at QB and shanbour looked lIke a quality backup.  

Morris made some throws I haven't ever seen from a UNT QB and some were in tight coverage.  Unlike previous Spring games he went against the 1st team, and they brought pressure and different looks.  I'm glad Morris didn't go against the 2s.  

Shanbour had wrs with more separation.  There was a big drop off with the 2nd team secondary.  In a normal situation preston and Brooks would have been leading that 2nd team secondary.  Shanbour looked good and made good decisions.

I saw some play making ability out there against the 1st team defense.  You add ivery to that and we may have something.

Shanbour looked the best to me. Good decision making and super quick release. A tip of the hat to Silver for recognizing this two years ago.
