Quinn injures hand in practice

Receiver to see doctor today

11:42 PM CDT on Monday, August 21, 2006

By Brett Vito/Staff Writer

North Texas wide receiver Johnny Quinn injured his left hand during the Mean Green’s morning practice on Monday and watched the afternoon session with his hand heavily bandaged.

Quinn said he was not sure if he broke any bones and will visit a doctor this morning.

The senior is one of the key cogs in the Mean Green’s offense and was a Preseason All-Sun Belt Conference selection.

The former McKinney standout has led the Mean Green in receiving in each of the last three seasons and ranks among the top eight players in school history in receiving yards (2,085), receptions (130) and touchdowns (17).

“We will see tomorrow morning, but if it is up to me, I am going to play,” Quinn said.

The Mean Green have just 11 days remaining before opening the season with a game against Texas in Austin on Sept. 2.

Losing Quinn would be a major blow for UNT, which is looking to bounce back from a 2-9 season. Quinn is not only the Mean Green’s top receiver, he is also heavily involved in UNT’s special teams as a punt and kick returner.

“Johnny has been an outstanding player for us as a receiver, a blocker, a special teams player and a leader,” UNT coach Darrell Dickey said. “We expect big things from him this year.”

UNT would have to dip into perhaps the deepest position on its roster if Quinn has to miss time. UNT returns its top four wide receivers from last season, a group that also includes junior Brandon Jackson and seniors Joel Nwigwe and Zach Muzzy.

You mean the coach of Lollygag High? I wouldn't mind seeing him. Maybe he could call a few plays for us this fall. rolleyes.gif

Our star player went down with a hand injury and another guy really started to shine in his absence. If Johnny's out (which I don't want, since he provides leadership as well as skill) then I imagine Jackson really showing his stuff.

I don't want to hear any more of this optimistic gobbledy-gook. You need to stick your head in the sand with the rest of us until we get a report that this was a minor injury that won't affect him whatsoever.

for most the optimistic talk will probably come to an end around 3:00 PM pm September 2, then maybe the rest after September 9th (let's hope not but OOC track record speaks for itself.). sad.gif

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
