Would be nice, but I'm guessing that ship has sailed. I believe he is set on moving on. He is too good of a player not to get on somewhere.

Yes, my crush in high school left me for the QB of the football team.  I kept trying to get her back and she would have none of it.  My mom told me once a woman makes up her mind its over.  Same situation here I'm afraid.

That’s stupid to say. He played hard here and had some great years. If he stays at UNT he is going to have a young QB that has basically never played in college determining his NFL future. He would pr

would u really want him back?  He is a great talent for sure.   However, when he was not  on the field with his teammates and milling around in the stands made me less than impressed.  He can play anywhere because he has the talent but he is not a team player imo.

I personally wouldn't make that leap.

Carlos H. was one I always thought was more memememe.  I never got that vibe from Rico.  We got 3 great years out of him.  a great team player for 3 years.  He's lost his team bond at UNT, but a fresh start might be exactly what he needs.

I know everyone says it's no big deal and some of our fans even wish them well but for me, I don't want NT to become a revolving door.  I guess that is what bothers me about these things.  Doesn't anyone stick to their commitments anymore?

Sometimes players have disagreements with coaches, same thing happens in regular life at our jobs.  These kids should have the freedom to make a choice whether they want to stay or go just like anybody else does, including the coaches.  If Rico was still on great terms with the team and coaches and left just to go play P5 football I might agree with you but that's clearly not what happened here.

Anyone else feel like he is running out of time? With all this madness happening you cant help but wonder if his window of opportunity is dwindling!

I want Rico to ball out next year no matter where he goes and gets drafted but I cant help to think if his options are running dry

I personally don't believe so.  We never were able to confirm his graduation as far as I know, so my guess is that schools are waiting to see if he actually graduates so they know if he would even be eligible this season as the rules currently stand.

He is apparently healthy again, so once he graduates I would expect he has a few options to choose from.

Coaches and Athletic Directors don't. Coaches leave before contracts are up, ADs fire coaches before contracts are up. Why hold players to a higher standard than their leaders?

Not that is matters, but he is ranked as the 11th best 2021 WR prospect on the Athletic. If he has a good year, he will probably be drafted.

Bussey was transferring to Hawaii supposedly for more exposure against high profile teams. That's not gonna happen.

Hawaii had nonconference games scheduled against Pac-12 opponents in Arizona (Aug. 29), UCLA (Sept. 5) and Oregon (Sept. 19) for the 2020 season. All three games are now canceled due to the Pac-12 choosing to only play against conference members. Additionally, Fordham has already cancelled their game at Hawaii due to excessive travel dangers.

The Bows’ are now set to tentatively open the season at home against Robert Morris of Pennsylvania if Hawaii's partial season still gets played.

I don't know how severely Rico burnt his bridges at North Texas and if there is any interest in him returning (from either side), but it is looking more and more like Hawaii will not be playing football this coming season.

That is rough. But I really don't think this was really forseeable when decisions were made (in early february I think).

This could be a bad break for him for sure.  I sure not many teams are looking to add to the roster right now and who is going to fly to Hawaii to play this year when everyone is looking for bus rides.  I think Hawaii will call it a season soon.

The grass was greener.  Bussey had line-of-sight vision into the yard and bought his ticket.  The lesson is that, sometimes life rains weed and grass killer right before you depart.

They may not have an option. Not only will visiting teams not want to make that flight, but its becoming more probable that the state of Hawaii will not let them in. This week the state has extended their strict 'two week quarantine' for visitors from the mainland until September, with plans to keep extending the quarantine until the pandemic passes.

Rico, we wish you the best in your football career. You provided results and despite your departure it was a pleasure having you do work for the MEAN GREEN. I hope you represent CUSA well.

If there is no season for Hawaii, and if/when Rico gets drafted, does Roger Goddell now say, "Rico Bussey, WR, Hawaii" or does he say, "North Texas"?  Can we break our draftless streak with Rico?  🤔

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?
