It says that B.J. Lewis is injured but the previous post he describes B.J. Lewis as playing in practice? Also, does anyone know the expected return date for Darius Carey?

Jackson and Carey - I will bet they hold them both out of this game to ensure they are available for Rice

If they can play I hope not. That mentality is a part of what has caused the lack of success by TD. The Clemson game should be the Super Bowl for North Texas. Now, I agree being smart with personnel and not sacrificing the season just to have a shot a Clemson as that's a given. But, we need to go into Clemson with the 'renegade' mindset of having nothing to lose and and a chance to make noise. In these games the past few years, Dodge has conceded the game before the whistle ever blew; and that cannot send a positive message to your team, so they just lay down and try to get out healthy, shorten the game by running Cam Mongtomery into the middle of the Bama Defense for 3 downs and punt, etc. It's a shame. Go in there and try to win the thing. Pin your ears back and give them your best shot. If we're ever going to make headway that type of mentality Dodge has (thus trickles down to his players) has got to change. I hope Dodge can grasp that because this year's bunch has talent, but if he doesn't this team will not live up to it's potential and he'll be shown the door come December, and we'll start off by getting blown out at Clemson.

Gotta play your best unless they could hamper the recovery from injury. It's Clemson...it's not the San Diego Chargers for God's sake...it's not like they are that much bigger and faster and our players have to worry about eating through a straw for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, it's not like DeAndre McDaniel or Da'Quon Bowers won't be 1st round picks in next year's draft or anything.

You gotta admit the risk is there for Bowers to blow by Gill and hit Tune VERY hard, or for McDaniel to punish one of the WR's for lingering in the middle too long. However, I do agree that you play your best players in every situation. Clemson or D-3 Trinity.

It is kind of like me driving on the right side of the road while semis are heading toward me on the other side of the that yellow line. We have a mutual agreement that him hitting me would harm him, even though it would definitely do worse damage to me. Whatever D* named people they have doesn't want to go ass wild on the likes of UNT, because it may damage their draft position with a nice injury, even though they may get the chance unload on Tune. Most likely they tackle him and go after the ball. Now, if this were a rivalry game, then they may put caution to the wind -- on a side note, who is Clemson's rival?

Clemson maintains spirited rivalries with Duke and North Carolina.

Meanwhile... Duke and North Carolina maintain a spirited rivalry with each other.

So what you are saying is Clemson = Texas Tech of the Carolinas?

I'll save a future Clemson poster the trouble by paraphrasing his or her response

1981 was a pretty big year for John Hinckley, Jr., you know.

But he couldn't build on his momentum and close the deal with Jodie Foster. It's been two decades of stagnation for the guy.

Clemson is the John Hinckley of the ACC.

No. Texas Tech knows how to win more than 6-8 games in a season.

Clemson is sort of like a public school version of SMU, without the death penalty excuse to explain away their last 20 years.

It's not like USC's done much since then either, but they were nearby when it happened. Could they be the James Brady of this terrible, terrible analogy?

Only if the NCAA cripples them with sanctions.

Actually, it's been almost three decades for the lad...and still no Jodie Foster.

The thing I like about Clemson is that I met this gal in grad school who went there and she had a really nice personality and was, at the time, hotter than fish grease. She now lives in Atlanta and is married another man. But, hey...that's life in the big city.

Go, Clemson?

I believe that I recall that Lewis practiced in a red jersey (no hitting). Just getting his conditioning and timing back. I doubt that he'll be ready for the first game or two. They were trying to have Carey ready for Clemson but may have decided to wait until the following week when they play Rice.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      He says he wants to run UNC like a semi-NFL team, lol. He will soon find out that 18-22 year old know-it-all college kids are a lot different than 23-35 year old men. I'd rather this announcement was the Cowboys hiring him.

      Bowl Tailgating

      HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because: We can't afford bowl game pricing. We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team. We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation. We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We basketball. We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco. We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in. We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year. We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather. We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear. We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band. Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway. HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium. GMG

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      Malzahn, 59, said he chose to return to his coaching roots rather than remain a head coach distracted by new-age responsibilities. Malzahn walked away from $15 million guaranteed -- he was set to make $5 million in 2025 and had three years remaining on his contract with the Knights -- for a different coaching lifestyle. He signed a three-year deal with FSU that will pay him $1.5 million in 2025. "The job description of a head college football coach has changed dramatically in the last two years with everything -- transfer portal to collectives to agents and everything that goes with that," Malzahn said. "I'm just an old-school football coach. "I love coaching football, and head coaches, it's hard to do that a lot. So that had something to do with it. And then the opportunity..." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42916508/malzahn-dramatic-changes-coaching-prompted-move-fsu
