New York Times: Another Very Good ‘Short’ Quarterback Rises From Oklahoma

Another Very Good ‘Short’ Quarterback Rises From Oklahoma

Quote

For his part, Littrell isn’t concerned. He has “an extreme amount of confidence” that Fine compares favorably to established N.F.L. quarterbacks.

“He is just as good as Nick Foles and is just as good as Mitch Trubisky,” Littrell said. He should know. Before coming to North Texas, he coached Foles at Arizona and Trubisky at North Carolina. “At this time in his career, maybe better as a player overall.”

"Fine said during an interview ahead of Saturday night’s New Mexico Bowl against Northern Illinois. "

 

Uhh, what?

The NYT isn't going to be popular with some on this board, but it's really big for one of our players to get some press there.

Edit: and we still cant get decent press from the rags in Ft Worth and Dallas. It's laughable.

I don't really like the NYT but this is huge.  A national publication has our QB on the front of their sports page.  What a time to be alive.

Great article!!!   It would be nice  if the Dallas or FW  press paid half as much attention  to a local FBS team with the  best record in Texas(9 - 3),  as they do to smu (5 - 7) or TCU (6 -  6).

That's got nothing to do with G5, that's just lazy. They can't check their work before its published? I guess they confused UNT with UAB, letters are tough.

We’re both right.  They wouldn’t be nearly as lazy if the names were Michigan or Texas.

The NYT is way overrated as an accurate news source (further evidence with this article), but it does have a huge following. Great news for the team and Fine.

First the NYT Mason Fine article, then the yahoo article. We are big balling today

I just wish he would have redshirted as a freshman, even though it may have cost us a bowl. Nice pub.

The failing New York Times wrote a nice article.

It would be nice if Ben Baby showed some love to his alma mater at the DMN...

Yes. Guinness says that more parrots make non-bankable deposits on the NYT than on any other newspaper in the USA.

Nobody's mad. Just pointing out they are failing.

Awesome article, awesome pub.
