Football practice news and notes

Andrew Smith's No. 12 jersey is going to stay off the field at North Texas after all. The details will be in tomorrow's paper, so be sure to pick up a copy or check out our Web site late tonight. For those of you out there who are new to the program, Smith was the quarterback who led UNT to the Sun Belt Conference title and a win over Cincinnati in the 2002 New Orleans Bowl. He died in a car accident before the 2004 season.

In other news ...

Head coach Todd Dodge said he will stick to his vow to pick a starting quarterback after today's scrimmage. Just don't hold your breath waiting to hear an announcement. Dodge said he will tell his players but keep his choice a secret from the rest of the world until the Oklahoma game.

Jamario Thomas missed the second session of two-a-days on Thursday and was in shorts Friday after his hamstring acted up. Considering Jamario's hamstring has given him fits for years, it was not an encouraging sign. He is expected to play today, though.

Everyone is expected to be available for today's scrimmage with the exception of tackle Robert Peachey. The sophomore is still dealing his own hamstring issues.

Argyle's Victor Gill has moved to tackle from tight end. The switch is one that was talked about for years and has finally become a reality.

Wide receiver Brock Stickler continued to be impressive in practice on Friday.

Sam Dibrell made a nice catch on a touchdown pass from Giovanni Vizza.

By the way, today's 9 a.m. scrimmage is still closed to the public.

Follow-up in today's DRC

Smith's No. 12 will not be used

Dodge has changed his stance on using the No. 12 worn by former UNT quarterback Andrew Smith.

Dodge originally gave the number to Sam Roberson, a freshman wide receiver from Somerville. Roberson wore No. 85 at practice on Friday, while former Argyle standout Victor Gill switched from No. 85 to No. 64.

Gill has made the move from tight end to tackle.

"I have talked with the Smith family and gotten to know them," Dodge said. "I am honoring the wishes of the family for now to keep the No. 12 off the field and honor the memory of the late Andrew Smith."

Smith led UNT to a win over Cincinnati in the 2002 New Orleans Bowl. He was killed in a car accident on his way to Denton for the beginning of fall practice before the beginning of the 2004 season.

I hope Peachey can return soon. As I feel he could be one of are top Oline men this season.

This is really discouraging news. It seemed that in the early part of Summer workouts we were hearing lots of positive things about Jamario's health as well as performance on the field.

I'm hoping for the best, but this was not the kind of thing I wanted to read about.

      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?
