If I was a Houston fan I would be crazy angry.  The same way I would feel if Mason Fine made the same announcement today before Saturday's game.  Coach Littrell frequently mentions the character of his players as well as their abilities on the field.  He refers to it as their "being a great teammate."  This quitter King is no "great teammate."

I looked forward to beating Houston with their team firing at 100%.  Now, I'm concerned about a possible let down in our locker room. 

There is a ton about this story I don't know about let alone understand but if I were the head coach at Houston, I wouldn't let this quitter anywhere near my team.  Let him officially stay on the team throughout the season but I wouldn't let him travel and I would have him turn in his gear and stay away from the locker room.

Those of you worried about the our guys slacking simply because D'Eriq King is not going to be playing must think they don't know they're only 2-2 right now.   Make no mistake, the Mean Green will play like their scrotums are on fire.

If my scrotum was on fire, I probably wouldn't be playing.  Curled up in fetal position maybe.

Umm, wouldn't that involve running away from the field for the nearest (hopefully not waterless) urinal?

And they'd better remember 2018 ODU.

I may have said this on another thread but I've seen a lot in my day (if you know what I mean).  But never this.  

Are you talking about the quarterback quitting/redshirting thing, or the scrotums on fire thing?

I just felt there would be a little more urgency than the old “hair on fire” if their scros were burning.

Gotta bring the juice!  Be the most excited team to play in all 3 phases, men!

Seth should tell King NT has an opening next year! If Fine can somehow make it to the NFL.....

I hope not.  We need leaders who display character and toughness.  Not quitters.  What a sorry example of a team leader.

Holgerson needs his head examined if he told King “Sure, take a year off and come back whenever your ready”.  Eff that!

If l’m a Houston player I tell Coach Holgerson not to let King come near the rest of the team during games or practices.  He just gave the finger to the Cougar team and community. And yes, I understand it’s all about future money for this guy - but it still SUCKS.

I wonder how many other players are feeling like jumping ship. 

That's my thought.  Is this the actions of one or two selfish players or is this a small sample of how the entire roster feels.

The Cougars have gotten off to a slower start than anticipated and this season is becoming a building year for a new coach. Underclassmen will need to get playing time for this to work.

The redshirted player(s) may or may not return for next season, but they need to, at least verbally, remain committed to UH and on scholarship until they get their diplomas in May. They will be free to transfer anywhere they'd like once they graduate.

I am not saying I like what they are doing as I believe it sets a bad precedent for schools to be able to recruit star players from other schools. I am curious as to whether any coaches from other colleges have already contacted any of these players or their families before they've entered their names in the transfer portal. That would be a serious NCAA rules violation.

They have to make their decision before our game.  Doesn't give them much time to make up their minds, i.e. could make an emotional decision to RS this year before fully thinking it through.  Of course it works the other way in that it may be too quick of a decision to make so they do nothing. 

In other words, I have no idea.

      Brett Yormark, Big 12 Commissioner, basically told SMU that there was one school in the country that made obvious sense to add and it was SMU but TCU, OK State, Baylor, Tech, etc. did not want to elevate SMU. This year is proving them right to a certain degree b/c with the level playing field SMU will outspend and surpass them in record time. Why waste four years of your life in Lubbock, Stillwater, Fort Worth, or Waco when you could be in Dallas?

      RIP Dana. Too young indeed. He worked his craft his whole life. A short life well lived.

      what a bunch of garbage. Schools have been paying players, inducing high school recruits, and skirting (or outright ignoring) the rules since they started keeping score. The only difference now is that its out in the open for everyone to see. This is a bunch of revisionist history and yearning for the "good ol days" when in truth this stuff has always been there.

      Craponi should give his salary to Rod Brown for misusing him. In general, Rod has never been valued enough. He has been outstanding in very tough circumstances.

      Well NT 80, you are right. I am a dinosaur, but far from being a bitter fan. I have had a lot of joy through UNT athletics through out the decades but also some disappointment. I don't understand why our students show so little support and alumni give so little money. I don't understand why we can't build a winning football program but I expect you will tell us. I agree that my social graces have slipped but one of the pleasures of becoming an old man is not having to suffer fools.I will also at 82 admit to occasional memory lapses although I must say you are unforgettable. In summary I disagree with most but not all of your posts, respect your right to have a different opinion, find you easy to pimp,and wish you a blessed life.
