Really bad news. he was having a great spring. You could tell how upset he was at the scrimmage saturday when this happened.

Good luck, Quenton. Get well soon. Hope you have a speedy and full recovery!

They do typically grant those no?

Yes they do. His situation is different from say, TJ Taylor because Brown would've been perfectly eligible to play this season due to JUCO transfer rules.

The only hold up is that Mac is talking about getting him back on the field this season before conference play starts up. If he sits the season he should get the waiver.

I think if he could be 100% by the time conference starts you play him and ask questions later. I think he is that good and could perhaps be the difference in some conference games.

And you won't know if the medical redshirt is granted until well after the season is over. If he can go by conference season, and is truly healthy, play him.

The NCAA will find a way NOT to grant the redshirt when they read the name University of North Texas on the application.

Billy, I can't remember names, but we have had a number of players that perfectly qualify for the medical redshirt only to be denied. The only one I remember granted was to Riley the year he got the bad concussion (I know, whcih one).

Zach Muzzy is a name that pops up for me

Didn't Thompson get a medical redshirt after he broke his leg vs Army?

No, he used a regular red shirt.

But thanks for bringing up memories of Dodge burning his shirt his true freshman year for the last 2 series in the last game of the year (a game that was unwinable in a season that was crap). ;)

The thing is DT will not end up using that medical redshirt even if it was issued, which I don't think occurred.

DT had a regular red shirt available at the time. He has been a starter ever since. He will probably see some time this year, even if he loses the job to Berglund. So even if he received the medical redshirt, UNT would have received no benefit from the medical redshirt.

I don't believe Hardship Waivers/Medical Redshirts are granted until the player requesting the waiver has used up all of their eligibility. It is my understanding that Brown would request the waiver, after his senior season, in order to play a 5th year(if he missed out playing an entire year). Doesn't matter when the injury happened during the course of the players career but the waiver would be addressed after their senior year. There could be a difference in how JUCO Transfers are handled.

I think you are correct. Obviously, the player also can not have played 4 years when requesting the medical redshirt. If a medical shirt is granted, you have 6 years to play 4. Since Thompson will have played 4 years, he would not be eligible.

35 year old Case Keenum had only played 3 years in 5 when he requested and was granted a medical shirt. Dr. Keenum then got to play a 6th year.

I really wish they would do away with this rule, as it is obviously used to benefit the programs that the NCAA want it to benefit.

      MWC, PAC, AAC

      The AAC needs to form an association with one of those conf. The footprint would be great and this would give one of these conferences central time zone exposure. Just have football and BB replace the current out of conference games. Have each crown an conf winner and then have each conf winner play for the WagTag cup? Also bring in NIU and Toledo.

      Is this the best team UNT has ever had?

      Well, let me start my answer (or non-answer) with some perspective. Imagine how that game would have gone last night had we not had SO MANY STUPID FRIGGIN PENALTIES. This is a question that really should be re-visited at the end of the season. Or between the last game and the bowl game. If there is no bowl game, then the question is moot. What it looks like to me is that the coaching staff is still plugging-in new guys in to see how they perform in a game situation. My observation through the years has been that, by and large, people who practice well usually do well in a game. However, there are those players who come alive at game time and thrive in that environment. On offense, the "plugging in the new guys" tends to be the receivers and RB's. I wasn't terribly impressed with Carnes (#7) in the beginning of the season, but I was last night. The same goes for "0" Mr. Conwright. On defense, they seem to be mainly plugging in new DL players and looking at how the new guys do in different situations. Same for DB's. I noticed that they are giving 89 (Dawkins a senior transfer) more playing time, as well as 46 (Lamperi) who is a true freshman. Our OL is still a works in progress. They pretty much kept Morris safe on passing downs, but they really got stuffed on running plays.....especially in the first half. We cannot have a repeat of that vs Tulane/Memphis/Army. As to comparing this team to others. I would throw in the 1988 "flying wishbone" team to the mix. You know, the one that beat Texas....and Tech....and Rice.

      Do you think FAU is that much better than Tulsa? They lost to Rice. I think it could be a trap game though. Looking forward to Memphis. I think they play the way they have the last 2 weeks, FAU will be beat and 5-1 going to Memphis would be a great game to see if they have taken the next step.

      Wyoming beats AFA Tech beats Cinnci USA defeated by LSU I'll wait till we play Memphis/Tulane/Army before boasting how great this team is. But got to admit they look much improved.
