Zach is probably my favorite North Texas player ever, if I had to choose one. He has always given everything he has and been an outstanding example of what a North Texas man should be. This news is an answered prayer. So happy for you Zach. God bless and keep you safe.

Wishing good health and greatness in the future for Zach.  Hope he returns to the game as long as it is not threatening to his health.

First glad he got good news. 

We need him to go someplace that he can put together another solid season. 

As much as we wouldn't like it, I'd love to see him in GB or ATL. Play in a location that is going to have media attention and hopefully help UNT rise its image.

Come on Cowboys, you have cap space and you can add an all pro linebacker in his prime to your team, schedule a visit!

We have so many impact players on the offensive side of the ball and only two (maybe three if Jaylon Smith pans out) on defense. Make the call!

according to a depth chart i looked up today.  hitchens is one and jaylon smith is two and the mlb position.  so one would have to move. might not be a good fit here. also, dallas doesn't have a ton of cap space.

Zach is a UNT hero and proven NFL player, would love to see him play for Dallas. How much injury risk will a NFL team take on?  Could they work that out in a free agent contract ? I.e. Low risk / high reward contract deal ?

Jaylon's Smith health  (nerve damage in his leg) is still in question. If the Cowboys picked up Orr, it would be a very smart move.

By the time the cowboys find out about his foot, Orr will have signed most likely.

I'd love for him to go to Houston and place Cushing on the bench for good.

That would be great, on that defense with Watt and Clowney

I'm from Baltimore so this is hitting me in a number of ways. It's amazing that Zach is healthy and continue to play the game he loves. It was awesome when he came on to the scene; my friends back in Maryland started to recognize the Mean Green and Zach was tearing it up. He is an all-star talent last year, and any NFL team would be lucky to have him on and off the field.

However, the way his "retirement" played out is starting to really look sketchy: Zach Orr's Agent Dupes Ravens? Ravens 247. 

As a Ravens fan it's clear to me that they should have done a better job in protecting their own business interests. As a Mean Green fan and alum, I'm ecstatic for Zach.

I don't get how his retirement could look sketchy when the Ravens' team doctors were the ones that told Zach he had a birth defect and could no longer play football. If he had not sought second opinions, he'd still be retired at their urging. Seems they were worried about his risk of serious injury while wearing their uniform. I'd predict almost zero chance that Zach signs with the Ravens and the same would've occurred had he informed them of his second opinions prior to the tender deadline.

      All it takes is the RIGHT player to hold out at just the right time and his "hard line" stance will turn to quicksand. Say they make the playoffs last year and Cam Ward threatens to hold out. Cristobal's going to kick him off the team?!? Give me a break. No, some donor will step up and pay him and it would never be made public.

      We’re not alone

      Houston didn't join the Big 12 until 2023. So you left them off of at least 2019. Missed Nevada in 2018. Mostly, though, 1-2 teams outside of the P6 conferences make the Sweet 16. I think if you look deeper at the bracketing, though, some of that is manufactured by the seedings and pairings. Almost every year the 2 best, or 2 of the top 3 "Mid major" teams are pitted against each other in the first round. Or they are setup against a powerhouse in the round of 32 (see FAU in 2024. Had they beaten Northwestern they would have had to face top overall seed UCONN next). Get past that, and they face San Diego St or UAB in the Sweet 16. That's the 3 best mid-majors in the tournament, all lined up to face defending National Champ UCONN. 2024 was the worst year for it. Look at some of these first round pairings: East Bracket: 5 San Diego St vs 12 UAB West Bracket: 5 Saint Mary's vs 12 Grand Canyon 7 Dayton vs 10 Nevada Midwest Bracket: 5 Gonzaga vs 12 McNeese (30-3) When you look at schools who come from G5 conferences (not counting all the basketball only schools), only FAU and Utah St were given first round games against schools NOT in other G5 conferences. Go back through your 2021-2024 brackets and you'll see a lot of the same. This year, 2025, you didn't see it as much. Why? Not sure, other than there really wasn't a G5 school, or even a collection of them, that looked like they would really threaten to go deep into the tournament. Up until the free transfer floodgates opened after 2024, mid-majors had an advantage over the schools chasing 1 and done NBA lottery types because we could keep a team together for 4 years and beat them collectively. That's been the case since Butler and Wichita St led the way in the late aughts and through the 2010s. Those days are long gone.

      And it did for Mac, as well. Ross is going to win big, as well. Maybe not quite as much as Mac, with Tech throwing more money at basketball than most schools, but he's still going to win a lot. UNT had 2 of the best coaches in America leading us for the past 8 years. Don't kid yourself.
