Call me a hard-ass, but I would have preferred that UNT and TN just part ways. Maybe there are extenuating circumstances to his "offenses", I don't know...with all the good students/athletes out there who need a hand, why does this kid get to be UNT's latest charity case?

Before anyone sez this is off-limits subject matter, remember his actions are a matter of public record.

If he graduated, I'd consider altering my opinion.

I agree... TN was kicked off the field today by Coach Todd Dodge only two plays after being warned by Dodge. I wish TD was a hard-ass and would stick to the "family...character... bulls#*t" he preaches. If so, he would have never let TN back on the team, and then he would have not allowed Coach DeLoach to put him back on the field, 5 plays later.

Do you have any other updates from todays practice?

It to me sounds like they are making sure that he wants to be here and making sure he knows that it takes hard work. While yes I agree he has had his problems I don't remember any of them being "serious" problems.

His return was a tremendous disappointment. When I am paying tuition for my own child and I am expected to contribute and buy tickets to support someone of his character it certainly gives me second thoughts about why I bother.

I agree with you, H-towngreen. Let Dodge and Deloach use their judgment, otherwise hope and pray for the best. Coach Steve Lineweaver here in Euless is the only coach I know personally, and I respect him more than any man I have met who is in the public eye. The fact that he consistently supports Dodge indicates to me that Dodge deserves such support. Dodge stated, when asked about discipline issues last year (before the TN probation revocation), that he would deal with such things on a case by case basis. I feel he is keeping his word, and respect that he's trying to bring this troubled young man "back into the family". Will it work? Nobody knows, but at this point, I think it's worth a try.

you are probably right, euless. I have misgivings about it with what's been reported, but if he holds up his end, then give him a third strike. after that, no more please.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      Agree on JMU, they have a strong brand, fan base, and admin. that makes the right choices. For those same reasons I'd put App. State at #2.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      MWC is a push in overall terms from before the raid to after. Still a solid G6 but lower than the AAC in my mind. PACx has survived, which is all one can really expect for a conference that got shattered in the realignment. But the 2 legacy P4 schools cannot elevate that new version higher than the G6 bunch. Both of the conferences will get low-to-mid TV coverage, and fill the late schedule spots. For the AAC, I'm happy with Army over SMU. I wish we could have pulled Air Force, but so be it. I do expect the PACx to make another run at Memphis, that should be interesting. Fun fact: I've been tracking the realignment via a spreadsheet. As of the NIU change, 46 teams have changed conferences since OUT announced their move to the SEC.

      Transfer Portal Hits pre First Responder Bowl

      Because Morris & Cobbs believed they didn't need to. I think McGill, Harris, & Evans are returning, but who knows if Harris or Evans will even be healthy? We added Becks from MOSt, and Hawkins from HS in OK, but who knows what they bring? I don't know that McGill is a starting caliber RB in the AAC. If you think Porter should have been scholarship'd, you're second-guessing Pat. I doubt anyone around here really wants to second-guess Pat's judgement of talent. OR (and this is doubtful), Pat pushed to have Porter 'shiped, but Morris said "no". If that's the case, and Porter goes on to ball-out at UTEP while we struggle in the run game, it's another log on a growing fire under Morris' seat.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      The PAC stands a real chance of becoming the 'Big East of the West', but I think they'll still be fighting to get into the CFP each year with the rest of the G5. MWC obviously is a huge downgrade since they're the conference that got raided. The best thing they have going for them is stability. Outside of AFA and, to a lesser degree, NIU and UNLV, no one has any interest in those schools. AAC did well with the Army pickup. What happens in the next few years under the new commissioner will be important. As a conference, we've scheduled ourselves into a one bid joke like Sun Belt or CUSA. They've gotta figure out some strategy there. For football, it's hard to say we're better or worse off than last year. SMU going to the CFP was a fluke compared with the past 30 years, but I imagine they'll be a stronger program in general than they were in the AAC due to the amount of money and attention the ACC brings. At least while it lasts...

      I started to do "official" game threads almost 20 years ago for the men's games to try and create some order, but I don't mind when others do.
