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?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
