    ICYMI on The Rock: NU beats out the big boys for Commit No. 5

    Congrats NU on getting a really good football player. We thought we had him at UT but looks like you guys may be a better fit for what he needs. We are 0-2 head to head for North Texas talent. We have our hands full with our in-state rivals, now we have to keep an eye on you guys too!

    Yep. I agree 100%! All you can do is ask for the opportunity and when you get it, you better deliver. If not, the next opportunity may never come again.

    I have been following both boards of NU and Illinois since the Lovie announcement with many questioning his recruiting success. The current ratio of black head coaches is 9.3% . Meanwhile, the number of African-American players in FBS is at its highest point in at least a quarter-century, 53...

    An Inconvenient Truth: Acker our 3rd string back over Anderson?

    Not really sure why this topic is back on the thread but we know AA pretty well down here. NU takes pride in it's vetting process of athletes prior to making offers. AA is a "free spirit" with an outgoing personality and has a unique coping mechanism, so "class clown" is a bit harsh. He was the...

    You Thought You Loved Football then They Gave You A Scholarship

    Like the NCAA, IMG is a “For Profit” sports business and therefore, aligned their “student athlete” model to mirror the billion dollar entity we have today. Based on the sample schedule CatDad provided earlier, HS students are being groomed for the FT (40 hour) work week they will experience in...

    Positive thoughts and observations from rewatching the bowl game on ESPNU

    Great points. I had the chance to watch the game on the SEC network again today and the speed on the NU defense was not an issue. The players looked quick and fast. But for me, the most glaring difference was in size. The NU players looked much smaller with less defined muscularity. When my 12...

    An Inconvenient Truth: Acker our 3rd string back over Anderson?

    Lots to agree with here. Not sure if I would read too much into that for now. This is not Anderson’s third year in the program, it was his first as he was injured in year one with (FAI) and a torn labrum in his hip. This is a pretty serious injury and even more impactful for speed athletes and...

    Can Vault catch?

    As board moderator I assumed you would ask as the only person with insight into the program. I speak with his HS coach often who talks with McPherson. He recruits this area. If ball security is a problem, I am sure they are working on it and every rep is experience gained. But that's not the...

    I follow most North Texas athletes in your program. Many have played in my youth leagues as kids.

    I spoke with coach directly. He ain't fumbling in practice dude . And we aren't brothers? He isn't coughing up the pill. Had one fumble so get out of here.
