North Texas fans, get to know Skyler Cassity from this feature I wrote on him this summer.

How a career-ending injury, film study with his father and long hours in the Auburn recruiting office built him into the youngest DC in the FBS. #GMG

Skyler Cassity is the youngest defensive coordinator in the FBS. He didn't take any shortcuts.
Skyler Cassity enters his first season leading Sam Houston's defense at just 29 years old. But a lifetime in the coaching world has prepared him for this moment.

Grayson Rigdon was the greatest six-man football player of all time from a town of 198 people.

He moved to Columbus, Texas, to play one year of 11-man football, putting his mythic reputation on the line for a chance to play college football.

Today, he committed to NC state.

Rhett Lashlee told his players the CFP committee wasn’t disrespecting them, it just didn’t expect them.

Disrespected or unexpected? The 2024 Mustangs are both.

They’re also ACC Championship bound. #PonyUpDallas

Jacksonville State is in the C-USA Championship Game.

Western Kentucky clinches a spot if it beats Liberty. (Currently down 21-7 in 3rd)

Sam Houston gets into the game IF they beat Liberty AND Western Kentucky drops its last two games.

“As soon as the ball kicks off, we’re not father and son anymore. It’s straight business.”

Houston Worthing DC Lemuel Stinson Sr. had plenty to game plan for in this second round playoff game, including his own son - Tyler Chapel Hill RB Lemuel Stinson Jr.

Great conversation with Baylor WR Josh Cameron about his journey from walk-on to leading WR.

Dave Aranda is BACK for 2025.

A remarkable turnaround for the Bears, and props to Aranda for making a low ego hire bringing in a former HC in Jake Spavital to run the offense.

BUT, I still have concerns about the longevity of this arrangement. #SicEm

Since Quinn Ewers’s return, Texas is playing well enough to win SEC games, but not well enough to reach CFP’s Final Four.

I dug into three problems Texas must fix.
