Thomas Bailey said :‘If you can count the number of friends on one hand, your a very fortunate person’.

I think about this quote often, especially when reflecting back on the past 33 years that I have known one of our very own here at GMG.com, and THE one at the top of my list of close, personal friends, PKC89.

We have been friends since we were 10 years old, growing up together in the same neighborhood. We rode the same bus to the same Elementary School and Junior High, and took turns car-pooling to High School and eventually became roommates at NT. We played ball together all through grade school, were in each others weddings and at our kiddo's births and our families have spent the past 10 or so years at Fouts cheering for the Mean Green from the same season ticket section . Very few days of the past 33 years have gone by that we haven't at least talked on the phone about anything and everything important in our lives. And I guess I've rarely made any important decision in my life, ranging from playing sports, attending college, dating(including my wife), church, becoming a firefighter and everything in between that I have not first discussed something about each one of those decisions with my dearest friend whose wisdom, honesty and friendship I have so greatly cherished all these years. So it's with a heavy heart that I ask for your prayers this week for PKC89 and his family as they prepare for his greatest challenge ahead which begins with surgery this Wednesday morning.

I am sending forth prayers from Upstate New York. Here are some words from the poet Sonia Sanchez:

"Let there be everywhere our voices, our eyes,

our thoughts, our love, our actions,

breathing hope and victory."

Everyone needs to take a moment on Wednesday morning to think of your friend. I'm convinced all that good energy can help.

Your friend and his family will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. In times like these one is belessed to have such a friend as you have been, Rick. Your friend and his family need you and your support now more than ever and they KNOW you will be there for them. I am 100% certain that gives them all a great deal of comfort.

God bless your friend and his family...I will be keeping them in my thoughts and prayers.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      It usually works that way. Lose to good teams and beat bad ones. I hope you stick with the team, but if it is too much torture, be like many others and give up. As a long mostly suffering fan, over fifty years, NT is my team. I didn't go to UT or A&M and couldn't care less about them and other the perennial powers. As far as your coach record comparison, Dodge was a bargain basement hire and didn't have a chance. McCarney was the first football hc that was hired with a competitive compensation package. Unfortunately, he had serious health issues and was a failure. Littrell and Morris were upgrades but certainly not proven D1 hc winners. I have not entirely given up on Morris, although the last game was a horrible coaching job. The defensive coordinator basically was fired by his defensive players. They are either/and/or not very talented or were poorly coached. Ether way the Defensive Coordinator is responsible. NT has two very winnable games left. Two wins and a good showing in any bowl would make this year at least a limited success.

      2025 DC Wish List

      We will need to connect some dots for a potential new DC hire (assuming the interim doesn't get it). First, Caponi had no apparent Texas connections. He was a career defensive asst position coach at several schools, and lastly a CB coach at Iowa State, before being elevated to DC at UNT. He did have some DC time at a Dlll school in 2008-10, but nothing since. Was he elevated too fast? https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-caponi/731 Does Morris have a short-list already? Probably. It's not like everyone didn't know there needed to be a change in DC for some time coming. Here are some starting criteria: -The new DC "should" have previous FCS or FBS DC experience...so a repeat learning-curve doesn't happen. -Texas ties for recruiting would be bonus points. -For a quick hire, I expect it to be someone Morris is already familiar with, no interview needed, only $ negotiated. -Are 2-year contracts a thing for Coordinators in FBS? If not, One-year only please, until we establish confidence. So, with all that in mind: -Find some FCS DCs that Morris worked with somewhere else. -A DC on an FBS staff where the HC has already been fired, or soon will be, but they had a good Defense! (a new HC will bring his own staff in). -A former head coach that has been recently recycled back thru DC to try again.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      In their defense, they probably got influenced by free tickets, the DFW media swooning over them, and want to see why being a real winner feels like.
