I believe Vizza is the man.

"Quarterbacks will be graded on how "cleanly and efficiently" they communicate with the sideline in UNT's no-huddle offense."

WOW! :D

The QB battle will be a good one... I still think Vizza gets the job, but I'm glad everyone gets a fair shot. (that would not be the case if Flanny was still here) I'm more concerned about a true freshman walking onto that field in Norman? He ges to attempt field goals on one of the most hostile playing fields, in front of 93,000 of the most rabid fans in college football? Talk about pressure? IF the kid who kicked in the Oil Bowl gets the job, at least he has some real talent. There is no real way to prepare a kid for a crowd like OU, so he will have to be tough. I dont know why Winward left, but he sure didnt do Todd Dodge any favors? Oh well, things happen...

Here's to another Mean Green opening day game! Lets please have good weather for a change in Norman?, then let's have a beer or two for whoever ends up kicking their first Division-I college game in front of THAT crowd.

GMG!!! ;)

I am glad WW is taking care of his academics unlike many players over the last few years. hopefully he remains strong and gets a shot to play somewhere whether or not it is QB. Sounds like he probably has the ok from TD to gets his studies in order, rather than just skipping practice like some poster(s) have speculated.

Looking forward to this year.

Some of you are practically panicking about a freshman kicker taking the field in Norman. Smith threw his first pass in Austin and didn't flinch.

Some people are bothered. Maybe we have a kid who doesn't think twice about it.

...or two ...or three

We would be in a better position if we had a veteran PK and these guys were challenging for the starting job.

Freshman or not, with the new team attitude they will have the full support of the coaches and the team when they step out on the field in Norman. What more can they ask for!

Uhhhh...that's Winword (I know it is actually Woodward, but Jimmy Cracked Corn...just trying to prove a point...no one really cares what the dude's name was...he is gone now)

1987, Norman Oklahoma. True freshman Scott Davis stepped in when Bron Beal broke his ankle during the game. Then lead the Mean Green on to the first touchdown scored in Norman in...(can't remember) so many qaurters over a span of a season or two? Memory is getting fluffy on the specs, but a legend was born in my oppinion.

Oh, and...

Wilson, in summer school through Friday, hasn't practiced.

Imagine that?

I loved the big stadium away crowds when I played. This might sound strange, but as you know back when I played (97,98, and 99) we didn't have many fans coming to our home games. I used the other teams home crowd to energize me. My first game on defense ever (well I played linebacker in 4th grade) was in Norman. I loved it! I know he's a freshman, but i'm a coach and I believe in kids.

"UNT officials say the No. 12 worn by former quarterback Andrew Smith, who died in a car accident before the 2004 season, was inactive but never retired. Freshman receiver Sam Roberson will wear the number at his request."

I wonder why he requested it? Was he Andrew's friend? Was it out of respect for Andrew? Was it his high school number?

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go: Washington Happy Thanksgiving, Mean Green Nation!

      I appreciate that he obviously keeps track of the dialogue from this board. And I appreciate that he named the very concerns posted by many of us and owned those issues. But, I'm troubled that he could not state a plan to address our problems, other than to say, "we have to do better". That is what Littrell used to say. Anyway... Happy Thanksgiving. Let just be thankful for what we have and enjoy our basketball team playing in primetime tonight.
