Don’t look at the “best remaining” WR on ESPN. It will enrage you. Has Jalen way low, with even Rico above him. 

You were right, that did enrage me...

To my memory, could be wrong, but Kiper has a history of not giving even a wink of his attention to non-P5 players, unless their near-locks for Day 1.

Most are like that. It seems like more "respect" is given to FBS players over G5. Case in point - the QBs taken 2nd and 3rd yesterday. For Zack Wilson they went on and on about the "cupcake" schedule he played against (ESPN must of been getting paid every time the word "cupcake" was used because it was used so often when talking about Wilson). How the competition was so much lower that P5 QBs. Then for Trey Lane, not that big of a deal was made of the competition level. Focuses how raw and what a ceiling he had after playing in only 17 college games.

I didn't find anything wrong with the coverage of Trey Lance.  They talked equally about his mystery and upside.  His floor could be really low or it could be really high.

IMO Kiper's role is different than your regular on-camera guys: he's going to like the Trey's of the world.  Not so much Jalen who falls a little further back into the crowd.  At that point, Kiper is probably not going to research JD or make any argument that he should be further up.

I wasn’t able to watch it but if someone has a video of the announcement. Did they happen to show him with his family? 

No they did not. Hopefully someone from Mean Green Nation got a video of him at home. They did show the Buccaneers reaction and they seemed really happy. They were giving each other high fives and big handshakes.

No, but they had very nice things to say about him and took the time to run through his highlight reel. Overall very positive, as he deserves

I truly believe JD will quickly learn how to be a "professional" and what a professional work ethic is with Tom Brady. Being selected by this team will give JD a great chance to learn and thrive.

What coverage were you watching of the draft?   ESPN just showed the talking heads discussing something else right through the Buc’s pick.  At least they showed some Darden highlights a bit later.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
