I voted for Delgado, who bailed us out on several and longs particularly that 3rd and 8 in the 4th.... but Jimmerson is verrrrry deserving too. Personally I thought Canales callled a good game, but not that outstanding that it deserves MVP.... ...after all the offense also totally failed to work during the first 2 quarters, and I am still not convinced it was a good idea to run it up the middle 3 times backed in within our 2 yard line

No mention of Marcus Trice?

Had the big fumble recovery, lead the team in tackles for loss, lead the team in solo tackles. Three or four of those were of the "that guy keeps running a looooong time if that tackle isn't made" type.

ETA: Really love his closing instincts. If the ball carrier gets anywhere near him, he runs to him, closes down his lanes and his options.

That is what the bowl game era defenses did, swarmed the ball carrier.

ETA2: Also, the OG's. Every time we called a play with a pulling guard he got there in a hurry and with malicious intent. Bowl teams did a lot of that too.

OK I'll add Atterberry and Trice but that's it. No more additions. No more. This was supposed to be a MVP poll not a "Harry's boneheaded omissions" discussion. I give you Trice and Atterberry but I will not give up my Chico.

Is this for real?

JimJim.

Yeah I thought about him being the clear leader but as Cerebus mentions, if Trice doesnt hop on that ball they could have scored and come back and won't that game. Attberry had a NICE night but frankly his great performance was somewhat overshadowed by Ray Guy Jr. playing for ULL. Heckfire, I could make a case for Olen as his kickoffs were as powerful as I've ever see albeit the wind may have assisted some.

You can make a case for all of them. However, if Jimmerson doesn't make that catch and run when he did, this game might have gone the other direction.

I don't want to even think about what our discussions would have been like today.

I went with Delgado and JimJim too and I think DT gets an Honorable Mention as well.

O-Line without whom JimJim and Delgado go nowhere. I was most surprised by Delgado as he never catches anything away from his body until now. Chico is a big surprise too as he has never called that kind of play selection before. I hear he walked into the locker room at halftime and looked his O in the eyes and said; "We're opening it up!"

Chico for sure his playing calling was the best ive seen all year.

Two RB's catching with a TD rec and a WR with a TD run... That's clever play calling!

Also, responding to a blitz late in the 4th quarter with a screen to give us the huge TD at the end..

It's all Chico in my opinion.

Gotta go with my boy Zach Orr, the D's leading tackler and a key 1st half interception that led to a FG.

not to mention, he's my adopted player, so I gotta show him some love...

looks like you and i were the only one's noticing his polamalu imitation. he was covering as good as any defensive back and laid out some good hits... well deserved sbc defensive player of the week.

Agree on the play calling. With the exception of Chancellor, if you look at the stats, that's how I would want it to look every game- in terms of who got the ball.

Will Atterberry

Agree....Will got UNT out of big trouble at least twice with great punts from the end zone...and did you notice the fact that he handled some rather low snaps on FG's and XP's as well. Snaps were OK, just a tad low, so no banging on Blake here who has done a great job all year, but Will really did the job Tuesday night.

Mac was asked on the radio show if Will got a game ball for his efforts Tuesday...Mac said no...that really surprised me. If not Will, then who on special teams?

      Honest tactical question here…

      To your point, even if you are intend to run a hurry-up offense, there are times when it makes sense to SLOW TF DOWN. Too many times our D would finally get off the field, either by a punt or score, then the offense would start at the 22 and run 3 plays that took only 0:50 seconds off the clock. This might consist of a caught pass and a running play, after which we would snap the ball with 20+ seconds on the play clock. Add in one incomplete pass and your 3-and-out not only rested the D for less than 5 minutes (3 minute commercial and 2 minutes of execution), but it took less than a minute off the clock, lengthening the game. This happened numerous times. An air-raid offense should only have the rare 3-and-out from their own 20. We usually had at least 2 per game. Often on the opening drive.

      Then disband the entire UNT athletic department. Why even try?

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      A home softball game probably averages 500 fans, more for bigger teams. Similar for soccer. I think baseball would attract more, and the AAC is a quality league. Say 1000 attend. That's 1000 more per contest than attend golf, swimming, or track events. Those fans and alums are potential donors, and potential sponsors for advertising, or other sports attendance. Anything to get an alum back on campus supporting the school is a positive. The non-rev sports? Why do we even fund them or need them? Title IX? Check the sports offerings at schools with baseball and Title IX is not a consideration. I say re-allocate resources to revenue sports.

      Around the AAC (11/25/2024)

      at least we're likely get to see what Vice has against Memphis once these Tiger bigs foul Sissoko out by the under 12 timeout.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      UIW....no one cares! None of this made him the most qualified candidate to be the head coach at UNT, but here we are. We've regressed significantly under his leadership. He has had no role in developing Rogers or Morris. They were already proven and developed by others. It's not like he discovered a QB no one ever heard of. And for all his ability to identify QB talent, he picked the wrong one for the first two games last year. He is incredibly lucky that Morris ended up here this year. If he's not our QB this season, we'd probably be 1-10 instead of 5-6. Fortunately SMU left the conference and we got to play both Tulsa and Temple twice these last two seasons. He's 0-2 against Vito's "premier rival" and now has us sitting at #97. We took a risk with this hire and it's blown up in our face.
