I guess Bergland can come out in August 2 different ways after being labeled as the 3rd string QB...either down, unmotivated and maybe looking to go somewhere else to get to play, or it lights a fire under him to fight for a starting role. I really hope it's the latter. I'm really curious to see what he has when he's healthy and with the first string.

His fire could also be infectious to DT and McNulty which only makes all of them better. Man, I'm pumped about this season....can't freakin wait

Update 2 — Now that I’m back in the media room and not typing on my phone, Richard Abbe has been reinstated to UNT’s roster. He will open camp with the team, but Dan McCarney is monitoring his situation closely. He could be ready to go for UNT’s season-opening game against Idaho. The change is that he is no longer on scholarship. McCarney pulled it when Abbe was suspended. Abbe has been paying his own expenses since that time.

That was the main news tidbit from McCarney’s media time.

And in other news, Derek Thompson enters fall practice as UNT’s starting quarterback. Andrew McNulty is second on the depth chart with Brock Berglund in the third spot. The competition will continue into fall workouts. McCarney mentioned after spring drills that the trio’s performance over the summer could affect the race. So far nothing has changed.

UNT came out of the summer healthy. All of the guys who missed spring workouts will be ready to go on Aug. 5. The one exception is defensive end Quenton Brown. The JUCO defensive end is still working his way back from a torn ACL.

McCarney mentioned that he feels a whole lot better about UNT’s secondary this year than he did last year, when he didn’t have anyone with a whole lot of experience.

Those are several good news: no injuries pretty much no man lost from spring to fall, may mot sound spectacular, but it absolutely is! You will not find many teams out in the FBS who can say this. This helps big time.

I also like how McCarney handled the Abbe thing. You absolutely can't say that this punishment does not hurt, I am absolutely sure it does. But it also does not throw the player under the bus for something that is rather repeated stupidity than being a conscious criminal.

If you go by his past history he'll pick up his toys and peddle his wares elsewhere.

Hmmm. I thought Berglund was the starter. Isn't that what people here and in summer/pre-fall college football magazines have said. Do they really have to practice to find out who should start? That hasn't seemed to be fair to Berglund since he hit KU's campus. Shouldn't message board and magazine assumption be enough?

      Transfer Portal Hits Post Bowl Game

      That’s not an entirely accurate statement when our starting RB, Price, broke his leg in the second game of the season, the returning starter, Ragsdale, was a shell of his previous self and the back up, Harris, was injured and lost for the season as well.

      Women vs. South Florida (1/11/25)

      The first 32 or so minutes of the game was the best ball we've played all year considering the opponent. When we were up 20 I was looking at USF's roster and stats to see if they were missing anyone big and they weren't. We looked like the men at Memphis once they started the full court trap though. Ugly finish, but it's another W. Now we've got defending conference champ Rice at home Wednesday night. Come on people, get to the Pit!

      Denton, America ???

      Eh ? Eh ? I haven’t missed a home game this season. I spoke with Rob before the Rice game. “What’s up with the ‘Denton, America?’ I asked.” As I said, he said, “I just read what THEY give me.” No,Teeth. I don’t think I got it backwards.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should stay and build the AAC with other programs who want out? Why? We should be proactive and try to bounce now, to the PAC if possible, with a few other regional members. The argument to me isn't PAC vs AAC today, it's PAC vs AAC in 5 to 10 years if the three you mentioned get their wish and move to the ACC before then. If Tulane, USF, and Memphis move on, we'll be basically be right back in CUSA. Then we'll be crying about how we didn't do anything to get into a better conference or how we've again been left behind.

      Transfer Portal Hits Post Bowl Game

      If he was so bad at RB why would he start in front of 4 healthy scholarship RB’s? Granted trying to recruit better players is standard for every school in the country. I think UNT signed a couple high school RB’s and one RB from the portal so far. The portal player was a second string RB at Missouri State who was behind a 3rd string RB transfer from K State. No one is saying Porter was Eric Dickerson but he was obviously the best choice according to the coaches and second best was McGill who played well and is younger but he still isn’t on scholarship either. So the “walk on for us” theory doesn’t fit when your best two RB’s were walk on’s. My biggest issue was the fact he wanted to stay. You lose staring QB, best TE,WR and O lineman but your leading rusher wants to stay and you let him walk? Maybe they will find a stud RB but for the 2024 season UNT’s most productive RB’s were both walk ons. What’s that say about the coaches evaluation of scholarship players?
