If you don’t know because your new...or have simply forgotten it by now of the frustration fans had with The Buick just consider this:

In this game...North Texas defense got  6 turnovers, Jamario Thomas ran for 250 yards, our defense scored a touchdown and we still only won by 8 points...31-23.  

And T.J. Covington. Had forgotten that guy.  Wonder what he’s doing now?

It is and you know I hadn’t thought about it till I showed my son who just finished his senior football season, and I asked if he remembered Jamario Thomas?  And his response after seeing that video was...”Wow, that’s a lot of turnovers...we must have killed them?”  And when I told him the score he said “Your kidding me?”

So yeah....maddening indeed.

Jamario was a beast.  Hate that they tried to put weight on him and hks hamstrings couldn't handle it.  Some unbelievable runs on that video.  I don't think we have ever had a better runningback than freshman Jamario.

Is that a safe statement, that the hamstring injuries are directly related to the weight gain?

He had hamstring issues in high school.  And at the end of that season in a blowout against Idaho they left him in to get over 300 yards late in the game and he pulled up after a run and seemed to be in a lot of pain.  He was never the same after that game.  But....the next year the extra weight certainly slowed him down.  It might have helped him extend his career in dealing with the hamstring injuries but he was never as fast.

We own 3 acres on Bear Lake, about an hour from Logan. I love this community's support for its team and keep an eye on them most Saturdays. I would think ABQ is pretty happy they got a top 25 team in it's bowl. This will be a very good win for us WIN we WHEN.

This was one of my favorite North Texas games ever, from 1997 played in that "paradise" of a venue that is about to become a parking lot:

We attended that game.  The fumble recovery for a touchdown was just amazing.  We all wanted him to get down in the end zone but once he hurdled the Utah State player at about the ten yard line it was a different story.

Not necessarily, but the added weight didn't help.

Utah State's interim HC, Frank Maile, was on the sidelines that day for the Aggies.  I'm sure he remembers getting torched by Jamario well.

Let's hope he breaks out the 2004 game prep manuals.  😂 
Boy, he'd be in for a rude awakening between Dickey's offense & Littrell's!

Speaking of Utah State, you need to go over to their website and browse their football player Roster.  Let's just say the players are not your old Sun Belt size players.  These guys are big!  Several DBs of the 6ft or taller, 200+ pound variety.  And the linemen and linebackers are huge too.  If any of these guys can match our speed it could be a long day for the Mean Green.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
