According to my source, Nicolas Emfinger (#65) is no longer with the team.

SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!

I thought Max's son would have done real well for us...

[untgirl04]

While working for Housing, I had the opportunity to talk to Richard Leary (#9) a few times. He was very excited about NT's prospects for the season, and even the LSU game.

I was very excited to see that a JUCO transfer has so much pride in the team. He's even predicting a NT victory at LSU. While I'm not going to get my hopes up, it's that kind of leadership and drive to win that we missed on the defense last year. If Leary is an indication of the attitude of the NT team, this year is going to be something special.

[H-towngreen]

What are the rankings for?

[stebo]

It will be very interesting to see the Patrick Cobbs/JaMario Thomas situation play out. Everyone seems to be listing Cobbs as number 1; but DD refuses to list a starter - naming them 1 and 1A.

[NCMeanGreen]

What are the rankings for?

1st Team...Second String...Third String...etc.

[NCMeanGreen]

It will be very interesting to see the Patrick Cobbs/JaMario Thomas situation play out.  Everyone seems to be listing Cobbs as number 1; but DD refuses to list a starter - naming them 1 and 1A.

I did the same, as I listed them both starting RBs. The real question is if they will be in the same backfield together, or if they will just spell each other.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

SAY IT ISN'T SO!!!

I thought Max's son would have done real well for us...

---He seriously doubt that is he Max Emfinger's son... Max lives in Covington?, Louisiana I think. Max went to HS with me in Brownwood but he no longer lives in Texas. Apparently Hank Stram was living in that same town when he died.

---He is not Max Emfinger's son... Max lives in Covington?, Louisiana I think. Max went to HS with me in Brownwood but he no longer lives in Texas.

Humor is just lost on some people.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

You never know what people are thinking. Some folks may have thought he really was.

35 Bush, Antoine DB 5-11 170 Fr. Tyler, TX (John Tyler HS) DB 35 Fr. 170 3

Don't worry, George W's son will do just fine.

Edited July 6, 2005 by UNTLifer

[GrayEagle]

Many may be reasonably close to where they'll likely end up but five are glaring to me...three projected first teamers and two projected fifth teamers.

I don't see any incoming freshmen as starters, especially not at linebacker, tight end, or even defensive back. I can't believe that Tobe Nwigwe, Eddrick Gilmore and Kartay Agbottah jump to the first team. We have just as big (or bigger), faster and more experienced players. In time, they may be starters, or even stars, but I'll be shocked out of my gourd if they start their first year.

You have two who were second teamers last year, Nevins and Davidson and push them all of the way to the fifth team. I don't understand that, either.

I disagree with a number of others but hey, it's your opinion and you're entitiled to it and you could be right and I'm wrong. I really don't think so on the five above, though.

[OldTimer]

Again DeMario Thomas is not shown on the roster. Does anyone know his status.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

Don't worry, George W's son will do just fine.

If he plays against LSU he will likely find those weapons of mass destruction that we have heard about..

[UNTFan23]

Just curious, but what is the "rank" according to?

Also, I made see about creating something a little easier to view plus allow you to do such things as sort by weight, height, number, classification, etc.

[Harry]

Pulling this one from the time machine. Interesting to see what our 2005 roster looks like in comparison to 2014 under Mac.

Pulling this one from the time machine. Interesting to see what our 2005 roster looks like in comparison to 2014 under Mac.

There's several more I wanted, but I figured your time machine was getting cramped already.

There's several more I wanted, but I figured your time machine was getting cramped already.

We had Fitz, Q, Branch, Cobbs and Jamario at the same point in time. Wild to me.

[TheColonyEagle]

The Tulsa game. Ugh.

That was my girlfriend at the time's first game. I told her how awesome our RBs were. "You will enjoy the game"

Got a safety in the 1st qtr. Up 2-0.

Then they scored 54 unanswered.

She ended up marrying me anyway....

I approve this list.

[Eastwood Eagle]

I remember Tobe being a solid player too.

[untjim1995]

Its hard to look at that list of talent and realize we went 2-9 that season. Thats when the wheels fell off--home against Tulsa.

[northtexassigep]

Thank goodness for the Duncan picture. also Matt Phillips is the man. Lake View Chiefs
