I really like what UNT has done in the last few years in getting involved with social media. It is fun to watch the youtube highlights, videos of practice, coach Canales, facebook and twitter posts.

Coach Sumlin of the Aggies understands how important social media platform can be and I think it has helped tremendously with recruiting.

Now we just need to get Dan McCarney on twitter himself!

The main area this helps with is in recruiting. Recruits are all over social media.

He may not have a twitter account but he is still very involved in the whole process and most likely is over the shoulder of his position coaches when they're trading direct messages with recruits. I highly doubt we are falling behind because Mac himself doesn't have an account. Didn't we hire an official social media guy from the high school coaching ranks to handle all this before the season began? I think we're fine.

I know we don't have a dedicated Rivals, scout or 247 site but it seems like we're getting more coverage here. It is interesting to note that you can check an assistant coaches following/followers list to see the recruits they are in contact with.

      Parking

      I missed the creation of the Brown lot. Is this the first year of it's existence? One of our crew went early enough to be first to park in that lot Saturday. He was just carrying a plastic grocery bag of snacks so it worked well for him, priced $15. GMG

      The Black Lot was easy-peasy. Up your game.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).
