I'll always remember Sam running with a raised talon on his way to a touchdown against Navy. He was taken way too soon. So tragic.

me too! that's something i will never forget. my prayers go out to his family.

My prayers are with the Dibrell family. Things like this put life in perspective and really bring to light how ridiculous it is to criticize young men that leave the NT program early. I was guilty of this and leaving the program early is nothing compared to leaving Earth too soon. Remember to always tell your family and friends that you love them everytime you see them, because we never know when it will be our last encounter with them.

I pray for his family through their period of mourning and hope they will live with found memories of Sam. A tragic loss, and I can't even imagine the loss of a child. May God bless the Dibrells.

You said it well, sir. The only comforting thing I can think of for those loved ones left with the pain is that things get better with time.

Keeping his family in my prayers tonight. If you have kids make sure you give them extra hugs and kisses in the morning. Even if they are teenagers! You just don't know what each day will bring. So sad.

Agreed. Circumstances for players in D1 football are always different and if your on the outside you will never know. I lived with Sam for 2 years after he was done and he continued to be a big supporter of UNT football and me until the end. He will always be a member of the Mean Green Family. Godspeed D.I.B

      Nico Iamaleava and UNT

      All it takes is the RIGHT player to hold out at just the right time and his "hard line" stance will turn to quicksand. Say they make the playoffs last year and Cam Ward threatens to hold out. Cristobal's going to kick him off the team?!? Give me a break. No, some donor will step up and pay him and it would never be made public.

      We’re not alone

      Houston didn't join the Big 12 until 2023. So you left them off of at least 2019. Missed Nevada in 2018. Mostly, though, 1-2 teams outside of the P6 conferences make the Sweet 16. I think if you look deeper at the bracketing, though, some of that is manufactured by the seedings and pairings. Almost every year the 2 best, or 2 of the top 3 "Mid major" teams are pitted against each other in the first round. Or they are setup against a powerhouse in the round of 32 (see FAU in 2024. Had they beaten Northwestern they would have had to face top overall seed UCONN next). Get past that, and they face San Diego St or UAB in the Sweet 16. That's the 3 best mid-majors in the tournament, all lined up to face defending National Champ UCONN. 2024 was the worst year for it. Look at some of these first round pairings: East Bracket: 5 San Diego St vs 12 UAB West Bracket: 5 Saint Mary's vs 12 Grand Canyon 7 Dayton vs 10 Nevada Midwest Bracket: 5 Gonzaga vs 12 McNeese (30-3) When you look at schools who come from G5 conferences (not counting all the basketball only schools), only FAU and Utah St were given first round games against schools NOT in other G5 conferences. Go back through your 2021-2024 brackets and you'll see a lot of the same. This year, 2025, you didn't see it as much. Why? Not sure, other than there really wasn't a G5 school, or even a collection of them, that looked like they would really threaten to go deep into the tournament. Up until the free transfer floodgates opened after 2024, mid-majors had an advantage over the schools chasing 1 and done NBA lottery types because we could keep a team together for 4 years and beat them collectively. That's been the case since Butler and Wichita St led the way in the late aughts and through the 2010s. Those days are long gone.

      Jasper officially portals to WVU

      And it did for Mac, as well. Ross is going to win big, as well. Maybe not quite as much as Mac, with Tech throwing more money at basketball than most schools, but he's still going to win a lot. UNT had 2 of the best coaches in America leading us for the past 8 years. Don't kid yourself.

      We’re not alone

      We've kinda joked about this before with post-season CFB portal windows...but we are really getting close to a point where the player shows up to the game, takes off his hoodie, only for us to discover he's now playing for the other team this week. Sometimes you have to burn it all down so you can grow it back better.
