You will be a much happier person if you learn to be "bitter" about things that, in the scheme that is life, are not that important, for much shorter periods of time. I was more upset after the Troy g

Serious? Good info here Christopher. Hey, seriously, you need to drive slowly by practice more often if you can even hear Coach Mac first hand from the road. Darn good ears you have there kid!

As I pointed out a month ago. Speed in Colorado doesn't match speed in Texas.

It's looking more and more like you are right on this, which is concerning... especially if Scotty tears us up on 10/19.

But most, if not all, of the folks who were knocking Berglund were adamant that Thompson is 'the man', and that doesn't appear to be the case either?

and only at north Texas does the inability to land a starting job at 2 other places mean you should be handed the starting job based on high school press clippings from 3 years ago

Straight from McCarney's mouth just now: "Dajon Williams is now in the mix for starting QB and we do not expect to redshirt him."

Only my opinion, but if he is not a clear cut starter, or he is not clearly a level above the other backups then I would hope he would be red shirted.

We have nothing to go on but generica coach speak americana... Its fun. We are all very very excited to gets us some football...

FFR, I'd love to go up and watch some practice too... if I didn't have a full time job and and wife and 3 kids... I bet you could sneak around and watch from a distance if you really wanted to and invested in some binoculars.... at this point, all I have is vito vids and blog entries...

Last couple of years has left us all wanting more... the troy game and the western ky games come to mind that work against DT. 4 and 8. I really hope that IF....and that is a ginmormous IF... we ended up with .500(my prediction by the way...with no justification other than I am just tired of expecting and seeing less) we need to give some praise to DT since we seem to be putting most of the blame on him... I'm not saying he is not atleast partially responsible in any way...but man, he was both good and bad at times last season.

Of course, all our rooting and wishing for BB or DW or DT or even AM(aka mini-mac) is all silliness... as much as it sounds silly, I totally trust mac and chico at this point. Well, what other choice do we have at this point? I bought my season tickets, and I can't wait to tailgate and see me some mean green football...Lets just hope that it is a bit meaner than in the recent past.

I am personally rooting for whomever wins all the starting jobs... Can't Wait! Go Positionional Comptetition! Go Depth! Go GMG!!!!!!

Aug 31st can't get here quickly enough.

excellent post!

Just wondering… am I the only one a little worried that the ones picking our QB are the same ones who passed (if we are to believe) on a transfer QB that looks to be starting at LT? Just trying to figure the “talent” they are using to make these choices.

Brock looks like Johnny Manziel.

On paper.

They still will need to come under fire if Berglund flops...Scotty openly wanted to come play for us.

Good for DW. I hope this statement by Mac will put a fire under the butts of the other 3. That will only elevate their performances or weed them out. Mac has to win and he knows it...he will put the best QB under center on the 31st. Can't wait to cheer them on come game day!!

I am really surprised by what Mac said ... and maybe disappointed in the top three guys. He's basically saying Dajon will play this year.

I am thinking DW red shirts this year. Chico has said he is not ready...yet. We will see...future looks bright at QB if early reports hold.

I think this is Mac's way of lighting a fire under the other three. DT cannot be complacent, Berglund needs to show more than flashese of potential, and McNulty needs to be more than just a guy who wouldn't even hit the depth chart at most other schools.

Absolutely. Williams definitely looks the part of a D1 qb, but we absolutely need that out of the other 3 and that may very well be what Mac is doing.

However, any reps DW gets with the first or second team, he has earned it.

Of course. But that isn't the point I have been making, which is despite what a few here claim, that there is no value in open practice/scrimmage, other programs...(and it appears maybe even MOST programs)...and their fans believe there is.

Tell me Im wrong, that that there is no value to it and I'll show you there is with example after example after example.

Rick

I may be wrong on this, but I don't think peoples criticism/issue is that they think there is no value in opening the practices. I think the criticism comes from you becoming a broken record on a subject (open practices) that is probably number 101 on the list of top 100 things to worry about with North Texas football.

You NEVER insert someone else's colors into your own alma mater's color just for the same of selling an extra t shirt or two. Our colors are green and white, not Burnt-Orange or.....

Oh, you meant my current broken record........

Never mind.

Yep, since we run so many formations with a FB.

Well, if you went to games you'd see that we do, as well as use 3 tightend sets and an H back to block for the RB at times.

Still, if you think that a guy who has now made two teams through their practice squad in the NFL was justified sitting the bench for a program that hasn't had a winning season in 8 years then what else can I say?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
