Hell F'n no. Dude was a below average D1QB. Our current 2 guys are below average D2 QB's.

Derek was never this bad ... but then ... I've never see a D1 quarterback be this bad for three games. In the chat room this game was like so many of Derek's games where we were begging for him to be replaced by just about anyone.

You have to give DT credit, he improved tremendously as the year went on, ultimately peaking at the end.

His 8 tds against 10 ints in conference play would indicate against that. Definitely can't argue peaking at the end with that brilliant bowl game.

I still stand by my opinions of DT being a mediocre QB who had some phenomenal moments, but also some terrible moments. That being said...I would take him back in a heartbeat if that meant never seeing Greer in a UNT uniform again.

Or we might actually have a playmaker in Dajon. I hate to use the word with how great a leader and competitor the guy was for us, but his numbers did suggest mediocrity. Wishing back mediocrity because we literally have had the worst starting qb in FBS, statistically, is very North Texas of us. UNT90 is one of the posters on here who taught me that.

I am all for DW. I wanted him to beat out Derek last year and I wanted him to win the job this season. People I talked to on the team lasted year would talk about what a playmaker DW is. I just don't want to see anymore Greer. Period.

3 games in. Any of you ready to apologize to the man?

Because you need to.

Nope, I dont know if you stayed till the end but Dajon did pretty damn good. You can say that he did it in Mop up time but he make crisp throws and made his reads and didnt get happy feet. I dont miss him, i miss lance dunbar, Trice, and the list goes on but not Thompson

Yeah, I know your stance. It was directed towards the people missing DT. But I agree on no more Greer.

DT played bad against tight coverages and good defenses. it most likely would have been a loss without the defense bailing us out if we had DT. Doesnt look like sokol would have given us two picks to Whitfield this year.

At least DT wasnt scared though...at least he was capable of 5 yards on the zone read too. At least he could hit WIDE open wrs. Not sure if I miss DT as much as I want Greer outta there. If dajon starts looking bad and we win 6 games or less, I will miss DT.

Then our future is very bleak...

:lol:

People often get remembered either more or less fondly than they deserve for whatever reason. Derek had a bunch of highs and lows while here, but I think as the time goes by, more of the good times will be remembered than the bad.

It's kinda like how people are with presidents. Best example I ever heard was David McCullough saying his dad always used to bitch about Harry Truman. Then about twenty years later - the rant was instead "I wish we had someone in office now like Harry to give'm hell!"

      Minnesota

      Game shows to be on B1G+ which is 12.99 per month. Hopefully there's other options for the local UNT fans. I get tired of subscribing and canceling to random streaming services. To add, I dislike scheduling opponents who will only offer live streaming through their service. I'd rather play a smaller midmajor on ESPN+ than Minnesota. Oh well.

      If this isn’t a sellout…

      If this isn’t a sellout, then we may never sellout DATCU. We’re having a great season. Exciting offense with star QB. Record enrollment. Playing a BRAND NAME school with huge following that is nationally ranked. I, personally, bought 13 tickets and invited friends. Will be disappointed if this isn’t a sellout.

      WBB at Oregon (11/12/24)

      The 2-0 ladies deserve a game thread. After taking care of business against two D1 opponents this week, they travel to Eugene to play an Oregon Ducks team in what should be a winnable game. The Lady Ducks are 2-0 after wins over California Baptist and Nevada, but are coming off a season in which they finished last in the Pac-12 at 11-21, 2-16 and lost in the conference tournament to Colorado, 79-30. After SFA transfer Kyla Deck led the way against Alcorn State with 27 points, the ladies used a much more balanced effort yesterday to beat Texas Southern. Four were in double figures: Moore with 20, Wooten with 16, Hardaway with 15, and Lampkin with 11. The ladies play at a fast pace but still are too sloppy with the ball from what I picked up yesterday. This will be a great opportunity for a win against a power conference opponent.

      Morris Weekly Press Conference (11/05/24)

      Yes he did. It would be assisting to not acknowledge it. But notice he also said the result wasn’t satisfactory “the last couple of weeks.” It has been two years.
