  1. Could be the fact that most NT fans are also huge fans of Jamario, and were waiting (and praying) for a breakout performance. I know personally that I could not be happier that J-Mo had a great game. He gave us all such sensational performances/memories from the 04' season. I can't help but pull for the guy.
  2. Interesting. I actually hope to see him take some snaps against the Hogs. Some of the things he showed in the OU game were very intriuging.
  3. I'll try to give a re-cap (at least as much as I can remember) Dodge talked about being happy with the offensive output in the first half for the most part. Did say that Meager forced the first interception in the endzone, and this was something that they practiced quite a bit. He said Meager basically had a moment of bad judgement. Talked about being happy with the first offensive possession in the 1st half, but after that we bogged down and "played behind the chains". Talked about how penalties and sacks helped to contribute to 4 very unsuccessful drives. Said we got on track again offensively late. Punt blocks were killers. They are unnacceptable, and they will get the protection for the punt team corrected. Said they were happy with the defense overall. Only 2 missed tackles this week. Need to get more pressure on the QB, but seemed to think it was getting better. Said that we have been moving the ball pretty effectively up and down the field, but that we need to be more consistent on turning good drives into points. Said that in hindsight that he wishes that he had gotten J-Mo more touches and felt that a couple of times, we went deep and got aggressive to try and "make a statement". He said if he could go back, he would probably feature the run a little more because it was effective. Hope this helps some. Anyone feel free to add or correct anything.
  4. I'm also gonna agree with Got5onIt about the tone of the threadstarter and "Little ol NT should be grateful we got TD". Such a ridiculous ascertion. We had several quality candidates besides Dodge that could have been coaching this team that are not D-1 has-beens. Jim Harbaugh, Jay Norvell, and Jimbo Fisher to name a few. Would you consider them mediocre "D1 re-treads?" Let me preface the following coments by saying that I like Dodge, and think he will bring us winning football sooner than later. So far, he(TD) has not provided us with a win. He is going to get some criticism for that. SMU and FAU were obviously (watch the games) winnable games, and we have melted down in the fourth quarter both times, eventually costing us these games. Some of the MG faithful claimed that they would be willing weather the storm early in Dodge's regime, others did not. Please don't generalize. I don't think that most of the criticism on GMG is unjustified. Defense that has performed below expectations, as well as a QB performing inconsistently are the main things that people are questioning. Are these not the things that are significantly contributing to the team losing the SMU and FAU games?
  5. I take your posts deadly serious (enough so that I'd bold a word for you). Care to stir up the stadium talk again?
  6. True enough. Reading that Hog fan board was very similar in tone to this board during DD's last couple of years. Similar situation too, in that Nutt and DD both saw a measure of success at their respective programs, but ultimately we're/are not the person to take that program to the "next level".
  7. I was up there visiting my parents last year, and the sports talk radio guys as well as the callers were all calling for Nutt's head. I have to imagine that those Hog fans are going ballistic this year.
  8. I'm going with about 7 friends. We're staying at my parents house in Bentonville. You can look up the NT tailgate/parking info on the MeanGreen sports website. We're in section 111. Row 3 or 4 I think.
  9. Yes...$35 each. Didn't say about our allotment specifically...but I bought 7 today and they are all together. Don't think you'll have any problem getting tickets to this one.
  10. When I first clicked your link, I was sure I was gonna get "Rick Rolled". You, sir, throw a nice curveball. Well played.
  11. Bought mine today in the ticket office. I'm in section 111.
  12. I take it you've been there when the "C-Team" was working. Those are the best nights!!!
  13. To add to your list, I expect: Major cutdown on NT turnovers: Maybe 1 pick and no fumbles 300+ yards for NT through the air 60-100 yards rushing (it HAS to pick up sometime, doesn't it?) No personal foul penalties Cut down on false starts Significant improvement in tackling I don't really see your list as a "cop-out" . I think a win against FAU on Saturday would be big for us. I'm not gonna over-react if we happen to lose this game, but I fully expect this to be a close game either way. A blowout win by FAU would definately send some bad signals though.
  14. Much classier indeed. Not nearly the "Bang for you Buck"...so to speak.
  15. The whole Schnelly thing is funny to me. What's that guy ever done? Oh well. To be honest, I'm all for anything that'll get NT fans fired up, and hopefully showing up in force on Saturday (even if it's a taken out of context quote). I think we all need the defense to play better this week so we can pick up our first win. Probably help with the thin skin around here
  16. The Highway 157 in Arlington location? $1 goes a long way there.
  17. I found several things in that thread humorous. It was just interesting that going on the road for our home opener with a new coach that they are expecting a huge blowout. I truly feel like both offenses should be effective. Seems like the team who makes improvements in defense and special teams will have the advantage here. The game should be good. In the Minnesota game, FAU's defense did not really show the ability to stop their offense.
  18. Just trying to stir up some football discussion on the board. Not sure I've really succeded as this has all the makings of a great de-rail thread. I was getting tired of reading tailgaiting threads. I do, however, have very thin skin. I can't handle FAU picking on us. They are the big dogs after all.
  19. FAU-NT talk This thing should be in the bag for them. If they just play within themselves, they should hang 50 points on us, no problem. A shutout is definately within the realm of possibility for FAU. Guess we should just cancel the game this weekend...The juggernaught that is FAU is just too much for us to compete with. Guess if you win by 3 over Minnesota, who turns the ball over 7 times, it gives you the "big boy voice". *Fyi, some of this post is tounge in cheek* but nobody here is really talking about the game itself. Anyone up for some football discussion?
  20. Well played, sir. Dun,nuh,nuh,nuh,nuh...Drink a beer.
  21. Great podcast again this week. My favorite one so far. Thanks to OldTimer for the great recruiting info/analysis. Special guest segment was really good as well. Glad he has sense of humor. Funny to hear Quoner and Tasty get a shout out from him.
  22. What? No more Swordfighting? I'll miss those days.
