DENTON Darius Terrell began his college career with visions of dashing across the goal line on the turf of Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin as the cheers of thousands of fans clad in burnt orange reverberated through the stands.

Terrell will be on that historic field Saturday, but the cheers wont be for him when the Longhorns open their season with a game against North Texas.

Terrell spent two years at Texas trying to make the transition from playing wide receiver to tight end before switching course and transferring to UNT. The former DeSoto standout is listed as a co-starter with Carlos Harris at one slot receiver spot and is expected to play a major role for the Mean Green.

I have been thinking about it ever since I found out that Texas is on the schedule, Terrell said. Im excited about playing them. My position coach is still there. Its going to be pretty cool.

Terrell worked with tight ends coach Bruce Chambers at Texas. The former UNT player was in charge of building Terrell up and teaching him the art of blocking defensive ends, in addition to being a threat in the passing game.

      Great ESPN Story On Drew Mestemaker

      This feels like a double-edged sword. Happy to see UNT on the ESPN front page with this headline stealing the thunder from TX State. However I'd also like to keep our breakout QB a secret until after the Spring portal window closes. I rewatched the game on TV and saw SMU HC Rhett Lashlee was in attendance. He had prime seats for the Drew Mestemaker show.

      WE all care about the direction of NT Athletics or we wouldn't be on here,,,, well, except for Cougar Q, Smut2006, et al. AS fans we want wins and something positive to show upward direction. It's hard to find positive with many losses but we did better yesterday than most would have thought.... being 14 point dogs and losing a starting QB and receiver. The portal needs fixed or tossed completely. Binding contracts need to happen with players.

      Impressed with Meste

      We have a handful of threads dedicated to the bowl and Drew already. Can we take these tweets and dump them in there, instead of starting a new thread?

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      I'm reading a lot about this. I can't find anything definitive, but Drew might have started at safety while he was a senior (maybe junior, too). I don't think it takes away from the story though. Not starts at the QB position since he was a HS frosh. Remarkable.

      Game Day

      I had a nice time, too. Rode the dart with my youngest. Wife and oldest met us later. The UNT tailgate was a good time, saw some old friends, cheered on the green, was holding my breath for Mestemaker’s version of the Drive, had dinner at the Londoner, then headed home. It was a good back and forth game. Our uniforms looked sweet! Wish we had a few more fans…or even fans that cheered at appropriate times. Their fans were pretty rowdy. I think our Maniacs initiative will pay off soon. We’re not there yet. I think we’re trending in the right direction. Glad so many young guys got to play last night. Was nice to see Rod Brown dancing the last defensive drive. Hope he gets a chance to keep playing football. On to basketball season. GMG!
