Heard he and a teammate visited together and fell in love with the staff and campus.  Can't blame a kid for doing what their heart tells them, just wish we could get more of these kids to stay home. 

Holds Tulane, Southern Miss, La Tech, UNT, McNeese State offers.  Probably end up getting 4-5 more.  His height is only issue.

This I just don't get but best of luck anyway.  Maybe I need to explore more of Ruston next time I go to an away game there.

More of the atmosphere within football team/practice and coaches is what I heard.

We have to remember when we were that young, most everyone wanted to go off some place and not stay close to home....

Last time I was at the La Tech campus, it felt like I was in the 1970's but that was about 8-10 years ago so maybe a bunch has changed.

Looked around at images last night.  Looks like they bulldozed a bunch of those old buildings

This! I was accepted at Indiana...did I head to Bloomington? Hell no. I hopped the Greyhound "Laredo Express" in South Bend and ended up in Edinburg at the age of 18. And I was not fleeing a warrant or paternity suit.

You should have seen their faces in Edinburg when I dazzled them with my two years of Indiana high school Spanish! :)

I also spent a few weeks in El Paso about four years later at that little paradise (Logan Hts. ?) in the foothills off of Dyer St. that our Uncle operated. My Spanish was better by then. When I got off the bus, I was surprised that the first greeting I received was totally in English..."Drop, Fat F_k, and give me 20!".

Ft Bliss....todays army is not like the old army.  You can quit during bootcamp if you don't like it.  So now it might be Drop, sweetheart and give me five.

I always thought that Ft. Bliss was a misnomer! :) At that time, it was either perform or get recycled...there was no quitting in Army. I just realized that, if Dr. Who came by and offered me a trip today, and I asked him to take me back exactly 50 earth years...I would be at Ft. Bliss.

Yes, now it feels like you are in the 1980's.

Ruston has a restaurant called Ponchatoulas it's the best food i've ever had in my life. I would commit just to go eat there.

Can you raise the flag and they bring more gator and re fried beans to the table.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Agreed. Similar case can be made for Simon, as he coached in the first few years of our return to D1 when half our games were body bag games. And the guys preceding him were playing D-2 schedules. But, the point is we are historically a really bad program no matter who is coaching, which conference, classification or stadium we’re playing in. Any time a UNT coach has success, we worry he will use as a stepping stone to a better program. We should be so lucky. Hugh Freeze, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin are three former conference opponent coaches that immediately come to mind, now coaching P5 schools.

      An Old Fan's Advice To You Young Fans

      As someone who both hires and fires people, and who has had to tell people “sorry, but you just don’t meet our standard”, I cut Jared Mosley a little slack…until the season has ended. There can be times you know a change needs to be made but, for a myriad of reasons, you choose no comment over good or bad comments and you discreetly do what needs to be done. It isn’t flashy and doesn’t garner the headlines of a hardline “we DEMAND better!” statement, but the job gets done nonetheless. I agree that E. Morris is in well above his head, and beating ECU and a floundering Temple team won’t change that, but I can stomach a change being made at season’s end.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The lost last year to FIU was enough for me to know this coach wasn't going to elevate the program.... We will be the weakness bowl team to get in....and I mean if we get in

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      This was so embarrassing. From 5-1 to 5-5 is just unfathomable. And we’ve looked like garbage for most of these losses. I think I’m just over this experiment. I watched the recent Dan Campbell clip where he’s describing his team’s identity, and he references having put “Grit” on the wall as a constant reminder of who/what is at the core of the team’s identity. We completely lack grit. A very soft, sloppy, undisciplined team and program overall. What is North Texas’ program identity? The only thing we appear to excel at is finding new and creatively embarrassing ways to disappoint our fans.
