We hope they begin to contribute. I would expect the majority of the playing time to go to Sarge, Bellazin and the Juco transfer Brown.

Welcome to the board. Student, alumni or just a fan?

I have heard that Dilonga may be more of a defensive tackle before all is said and done...would love to know where he is reporting sizewise right now... Horton did not play football until his junior year, he was a basketball player before. I saw Horton showed up at #26 on the workout totals which is pretty impressive when you figure there are over 100. I would love to see both contribute early in their careers.

In fact I think with our returning starters and transfers the defense has a chance to be good... If some of the redshirts can step in and contribute early in their careers adding quality depth to the rotation we could be REALLY good...

Hey Harry

Any chance there will be a pre-Spring game podcast followed by a post-Spring game podcast?

Yes... Spring unlike fall is wide open for media and fans so we plan on covering it closely as this is one the biggest springs I can recall in terms of positional battles and position changes, transfer, redshirt evaluations etc... There are a lot of new faces and of course all eyes will be on BB.

      EM is the qb whisperer

      I don't want to hear it? You, untjim, went on a rant about how Texas/Oklahoma didn't produce great linemen anymore because of the style of play at the high school level. You implied we could not have great defense anymore because of what the states produced. I then asked what the excuse was for two G5 schools in our state and your answers were in fact defense. I baited you into basically acknowledging those two schools are successfully finding players who make-up decent to good defenses with the same pool of high school players we are surrounded by. So again, what's their excuse? We've established their defenses are decent to good. Why can they do it but we can't?

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.
