Since we're so proud of him, can we correct the misspelling of his name in the thread title so we don't all look like dumbasses?

Phone autocorrected my original post , need a mod to change it

Second to last line in your originakl post sates...and I quote..." Criticism is very mild at NT compared to most programs so I get amused with those folks who think anything negative stated is really goint to have significant impact on anything".

Note the words "most programs" in your comment. Hope that helps clear up your confusion because the quote comes from your post. Or, do you have a ghoast writer? :thumbsu:

Hard to believe anyone would take the above quote the way you did. Your quote "Glad you know what goes on in so many other programs...even "most" other programs as you say about your knowledge. That is a pretty good number of programs you are that close to....how do you find the time to be that informed "

Hardly have to be intimately involved with other programs, to determine that criticism is mild on this board compared to others. I guess you never look at other message boards at all. Maybe living in a sports vacuum like you apparently do, explains the lack of objectivity in a lot of your comments

Want to compare experiences? Doubt it. One of the problems UNT has with its fan base is that they have so little perspective as so many have not seen first hand how other colleges "do it" and how other fan bases actually support their universities....many many through think and thin and don't let petty things get in the way of that support. UNT has too many "fans" who withdraw or withhold support because they get their feelings hurt or because some staffer doesn't kiss their you know what to the extent they feel they should. Talking a good game doesn't get it and walking the walk once isn't much. People here scream to be big time yet they have no idea what that really means in the way of support from the fan base. Nor what it will mean regarding their personal access to personnel, staff and information. It also means "comparing the size of mine" to the size of yours is mindless stupidity. It's not how long ago, but Now! And, every year after NOW!

You are at least old enough to understand. Just keep supporting the Mean Green.

I have no idea what you just stated. What experiences do you want to compare that you doubt I want to? Then why a lecture on your view of NT's fan base that has absolutely nothing to do with our little debate?

Keep it coming this kind of comedy is hard to find.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.

      SMU's Last Bowl Win...

      The Mean Green have won 130 conference championships, including 34 since 2000. SMU has been on probation five times between 1974 and 1985, and seven times overall—

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      These players had already chosen to get a free education at a given school when they first committed and they should have factored their degree options/quality into that decision. Now, if after playing for a while, an offer to a BETTER UNIVERSITY (not FB team) for their career is now being offered, then transferring is a valid choice. However, I doubt that is much of a decision factor in the majority of transfers. BTW here's an interesting NCAA site that provides data on graduation, majors, etc. Click on the columns to view different breakdowns, i.e. By Sport. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2018/5/15/division-i-diploma-dashboard.aspx Also, the NCAA claims that graduation rates have been trending up since the reforms in 2002. While this may be true, I suspect it also has to a lot to do with the general increase in college graduation due to the introduction of numerous less-rigorous majors. More information can be found at the additional links found on the following page: https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/11/20/media-center-di-graduation-rates-remain-at-highest-level.aspx https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/gradrates/2024/2024D1RES_GSRTrends.pdf
