This is deeply saddening news.  A starter on the oline?  And this late in the cycle? Wow what is going on up there?

Not starting and I don’t think he was in the two deep. I was always curious about him being a random recruit out of KY.

I think Mainord coached his brother at Kentucky. JD probably knows better, but I think that was the connection.

I think Colorado is up to 55 in the portal now? This includes guys Deion brought with him from Jackson State. I'm sure there will be plenty to choose from to fill in roster spots if needed.

You have to wonder when the NCAA modified the rule to allow additional signings up to the 85 limits if they even imagined that someone would take it to this extreme in a worst-case scenario. I wonder if there will be any changes coming up?

I wonder if his size played a role in not making the 2 deep. I mean look at Jett Duncan. He started every game at right tackle last year and is now at center.

All of our lineman outside of Daizion Carroll are 6'2" plus. This staff might be valuing that length/frame more than Littrell's

It's a business now. Until the 2023 season starts in a few months, Deion and the circus in Boulder will continue to demand media coverage. I'm sure the powers don't mind that at all even at the expense of kids trying to parlay years of work into a free education. If he succeeds, there won't be any changes. It's a damn shame. I'm all for kids transferring and coaches having more control over their rosters but the way Deion is doing things is just plain wrong.

I agree with you.  He is treating these young men like cattle.

I seem to recall Coach Littrell saying he wasn't worried about recruiting grades or size.  He felt like his group of coaches would be able to "coach them up."

Well hold on now, it is ok for kids to leave rosters to chase $$ and leave gaps in the depth chart at inopportune recruiting times but not ok for coaches to take advantage of that same system? This is the new college athletics. Good players will be bought off by the highest bidders and unsuccessful players will be sent off to look for success elsewhere.  You are telling me if you were coaching here, it wouldn’t bother you at all to have a Josh Greer type occupying one of your scholarships for 4 years while knowing he will never make a meaningful positive impact on your football program?

I was thinking the same thing. If it's okay for the players to walk away, why shouldn't the coach be able to release them? I would prefer that if coaches are cutting them, it should be before the Spring semester starts or within 30 days of hiring a new head coach.

The way he’s doing it is wrong.  I have no doubt that Coach Morris has had hard conversations with kids about where they fit in at UNT moving forward.  Couple of big differences:  1) He didn’t come here during his first meeting with the team telling players they needed to leave…and filming it to be broadcast.  2) He had these conversations after being here and having a chance to get to know the players and seeing where they might fit in…and he did it behind closed doors.

I’m anti-portal for the most part.  Bottom line is there seems to be very few rules regarding the portal.  
 

Good Lord what a hypothetical you threw out there.  I’ll have Josh Greer nightmares tonight.🤣🤣

A statue QB from Navarro JC. Rumor has it, his sister is still waiting at Apogee for someone to bash his name.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
