tre newton is overrated.. if not for the threat of the deep ball that SLC poses every player Newton couldn't get out of the backfield, everytime i've seen him play he has trouble breaking arm tackles

You're kidding, right? Maybe you missed the 80 yard run in the title game where he brushed off at least 9 of the Austin Westlake players. I hadn't seen a single game performance like that since I saw LT in college, or Cedric Benson while he was at Midland Lee.

ya i take it back for that game he showed up, but i went to their game against trinity, and he would tippy toe up to the line and often end up down in the backfield, if not for Riley, SLC would have been done early..

I also got to see him earlier this year against lewisville, granted he had around 100 yards rushing, but he often had a hole that you could drive a truck thru. I remember one play inparticular when he got thru the line and only had the safety to beat, this safety was prolly about 5'9" 160 Lbs soaking wet. Newton tried making a move and the safety just stood there as newton then lowered his head to try to truck stick him, but newton ended up on his back.. that why i'm not so sold on Newton

I imagine any schools recruiting Tre are probably pi$$ed off since Nate's comments may focus an NCAA spotlight on them for at least the short-term.

Bingo:

Any school getting wind of that statement and might possibly be under any type of raised eyebrow from the NCAA for past "no-no's", will most likely pass on Tre. Loose lips sink Ships Nate. That kind of statement is along the same lines as making a joke about a BOMB in an airport. .

Well that was against Trinity, arguably the 2nd best team in the state.

He runs for around 2,000 yards, and has one of the greatest runs I've seen, breaking 8 tackles against Westlake in the championship game, and you make this statement. :blink:

Neither did Tre, his dad did.

good point, all i'm saying is i've seen tre play twice in person and he didn't impress me, ya he has the numbers but those don't always tell the story.. Tre has a good chance to go on and have a great college career, but i believe he may have trouble seeing time if he went to a big school like UT.. He is only a junior now though, i'm sure next year he will comeback even better

About as humorous as the statement he made to the cops that all that marijuna was for "Personal Use"

I think Nate's comment on NT not paying enough was pretty funny. I guess it depends on the tone of the statement and the conversation, which I did not hear. But that doesn't come through when somebody types it on a message board, so a bunch of people start freaking out and bashing Nate Newton.

If I was Tre Newton, trying to make my own way in football in spite of my dad's infamous legal problems, I wouldn't appreciate it.

      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?
