Ugh...I'm sorry but hearing this news is a total buzzkill for the upcoming year. The fact that it took him, 2 year starter, Senior, Team Caprain, to the 2nd scrimmage of fall practice to emerge as the

The ones who are big Derek Thompson enthusiasts usually spell his name like that.

yep...they really should be crucified...it pretty much is up there with the fall of Rome ... historically speaking. At least the haters seem to get the spelling correct. That's something i guess. My error...sorry.

Great news to see the QB situation starting to settle down a bit leading into the Idaho game. I fully expected this outcome and am, for one, happy to see it take place. I think DT's senior leadership will emerge and we'll all see some more W's this season.

I would, however, not be surprised to see the other QB's get some playing time as well throughout the season.

WAY to go Derek!

Edit: Thanks Dr. Seuss...you caught my big time good on Derek's name spelling...I guess I know to many Derricks! Ha! Anyway...my bad...thanks!

I have never seen LEADERSHIP complete a pass...

The fact that it took Thompson, a 2 year starter, Senior, Team Caprain, to the 2nd scrimmage of fall practice to emerge as the starter says enough.

Could not of said it better myself...

Is it not strange that UNT was to good to offer Scotty a scholarship, while he's the starter at LA Tech, our #13 rated QB is on the bench... I thought recruiting wasn't going to be an issue??

Nothing wrong with that, just an observation I noticed.

Anyways, why do we have to be haters? I don't think he's a good qb but he plays for us so I support him when he's in the game. Just because I'm not a fan of his game doesn't mean I want him to do bad.

I am afraid come Oct. 19th we will look back and really wonder why we didn't offer.

It may be 15 feet but there's a roadway that is really uneven and can really hurt landing the wrong way...

good god everyone is whining on here...

from what it sounds like, everyone who has been watching these guys has Thompson begged as the better player at the position right now... you guys sound as if youd rather have a different qb in there just because his name isn't thompson

DT has had flashes of brilliance, and hopefully this year, he can get into more of a rhythm early in games, have receivers he can trust throwing the ball too and also not only be allowed to pass when it's 3rd and 8-10

you got this DT, set some records and get us to a bowl game this year

Trying to follow the bouncing ball

Most thought that BB was going to be the man …

The last few days DW has been the next great thing ….

Now we seem to be back at DT ….

Look, I realize I might get blasted but sorry I cannot find a pair of glasses with green enough lenses to see why things will be any different this year with DT. This is not a case where DT raised his game (I can’t remember reading where anyone commented that DT’s making better throws, better reads, etc.) it looks like what has not worked for the past two years is still the best we have.

I HOPE MORE THAN ANYTHING THIS TURNS OUT TO BE WRONG

      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.
