OK, this isn't funny anymore

Not that it ever was, but now it REALLY isn't. Yes, safety DaWaylon Cook (ACL) is the latest UNT starter lost to a season-ending injury. When or how it happened Saturday against Rice is a bit of a mystery. I remember seeing Cook pop up from a pile and limp around like he was trying to walk off a tweak. Not sure if that was the moment the injury occurred, but he looked o.k., and I went on typing.

Any limp I see from now on will receive some kind of red-ink notation. UNT seems to have capable backups in John Shorter and Ryan Downing, but some positions are getting to be a numbers game, quarterback included after Nathan Tune's dislocated hip.

Coaches and players like to say luck is self-generated, but if UNT isn't the unluckiest program in the FBS, then who is?
