QB Offer

[BTG_Fan1]

Just saying but if we got Tune and Pearson is already here... with Izzy as well. 

Thats a pretty talented QB room. And I would be happy with any of those 3 starting for us.

I am almost positive he went to the bowl game this year. Got pretty fuzzy towards the end of that game.

He rode the TMS party bus to and from the HOD bowl.

I know Nathan quite well. Regardless of a tough ending to his career, he is a frequent attendee to Letterman events, loves UNT and proudly wears his Class Ring!

I echo this.  His family is very loyal to UNT and has been for many years.

This is the type of loyalty and legacy story we need!  We have good athletes whose siblings, and soon, children will be of college age with the skill to make a sports program.  Large schools do this now, and we need to cultivate this practice.  Keep it all in house!!!!

Has Nathan ever spoken of his time at UNT after the fact?  He had a pretty rough go of everything, so I wonder what he might be saying good or bad to his little brother. 

Expand  

He was on our bus to the HODBowl this year so I would have to believe he is all for his brother coming on.

Can someone explain the story of Ray to me?

Nathan's lost dog.

what if he committed, and at his first day of practice a mysterious dog showed up and watched practice from outside the gate?

if I remember correctly, it was Nathan's senior year at NT, his dog Ray escaped from his yard and was never found.

And.....Ray escaped on the night of Nathan's season/career ending injury against Rice (9.11.10).  

[jtm0097]

I will never forget my junior year at UNT. We were in intermediate accounting together, and it was the week of the Alabama game. Our arrogant accounting professor from Minnesota was going on a rant about how bad the football team is and they were going to get destroyed by Alabama. Someone raised their hand and said, you do realize the starting QB is in your class. The professor's face turned bright red, and he was stumbling over his words. He did later apologize to Nathan, but it was hysterical to see the professor make an ass of himself in front of the class.

That professor left UNT after that semester.

Thank you! I was aware that it was Tune's dog and it was lost, but I never understood the backstory as to why this story seemed to get so much fanfare, and why the dog was on the front page of GMG when I joined. Not saying losing a dog isn't a big deal, I just thought there may have been something a little more to it for the reasons I mentioned.

Except for one important part, which is that the night that Ray came up missing was the night that Tune was injured and out for the rest of the season.

One question... Can he throw over those mountains over there? If yes, I like him. 

 

On a serious note... I hope we get him. Our QB talent pool is pretty awesome right now. Cannot remember the last time I felt that way.

I have always wondered if this was a bit.  It's pretty cold and callous to make light of someone losing their dog.
