Noticed how few of the schools selected to the tourney had enrollments larger than UNT.

Agree, Memphis would be a Big East first choice, good travel partner with Louisville. Memphis also has good football and basketball teams and facilities, and could bring the Liberty Bowl. UCF has good location, but lousy football and basketball. Marshall likewise has bad basketball and is in Hicksville.
UCF had a very good football team this year.

Jonathan Ieans completed four of his five pass attempts for 34 yards.
Woody had 154(ish) yards.
From what I say, the white OL was terrible. It gave no time and made the QBs have to run.
The white OL did give Phillips time to complete several long passes toward the end of the game.

What about the offensive line? How did they do?
Really hard to judge since they were divided , as was the rest ot the squad . Saw some good things and some things not so good, but unless you are able to sit down and study individuals and know what they were trying to do it would be hard to make a case either way. Some kids didn't play due to injuries and others were on the field that possibly will never be agan.

It would seem to me that being grouped with three non-football schools for BB hurts UNT. Fans really have less reason to want to see these teams play since there is little chance of feeling like we are playing a rival. I think ( I think ) that all of the non-football schools should be grouped together for BB. Let's play MTS,ULL, ASU,Troy and those other schools we have a feel for .

Homecoming this past year at WTAMU , 23,500 at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium ( cap. 22,OOO ) rocking.

From what I saw at the Sat. scrimmage , I believe ,if today were game day ,Phillips would start at QB . Am I the only one that came away from the scrimmage with this impression ?

This kindof relates to VY getting a 6 on the wonderscale. It makes you wonder how much he was "helped".
Must be more than classroom performance, Austin American-Statesman reports that Taylor is academically eligible and is passing all his classes. If you recall Mc had to get after him several times during the season.
-
It could be a factor in all of this that as the BCI schools recruit and sign the better athletes ,they also target and sign the better student athletes. However, if you attended a recent BB game you saw the large number of UNT athletes reconized for their academic accomplishments.

Hmmmm, not one BcS school.
UT and Texas Tech did lose baseball scholarships, however.
-
The Star-Telegram reported this morning that Grambling has backed out of it's scheldued game with TCU this fall. So TCU is still searching for that 12th game. However, I know a lot of people would not want to play them since they cannot even defeat SMU and could be equated to a DIAA team.

Not much....pretty good player at Sherman, may have made one of the all-state teams.
Sherman had alot of good looking kids this year, saw them in the bi-district game vs. Stephenville. The Sherman QB was quite athletic and was also a starting LB. He had just been moved to QB a couple of weeks prior to the end of district play.Don't know iif he was a SR. or not.
" Stashing players in JC also means they are fair game for everyone , not a binding committment on either the player or school.

By the way, he was DB coach at UNT, was going to be RBs at Arizona State, and should be DB coach at A&M. Although I suspose he could be special teams coach given our miserable showing there the last two years.
He was introduced as the RB coach at A&M.

JUNIOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECRUITS NEEDED! Reply
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Highland Community College, associated with the Kansas Jayhawk Junior College Conference, one if the top JUCO conferences in the nation, is seeking football recruits who were passed over during the recruiting process or are academically ineligable for a 4 year program. We are mainly looking for OL and LB's. But we will consider others. Contact me at the below numbers if you have someone you feel could be a great college football player, or email me at jorsagh@highlandcc.edu .

Interesting wording, you are right, a first for me also.

Understand Van Malone , the UNT secondary coach this past season , has left Arizona and now is the running back coach at A&M.
Will recruit the Houston Area for the Aggies.
-
It seems some people are convinced that behind every move their is some sort of conspiracy. I am sure that RV had alot of input into whatever was decided and did what he thought was best for UNT.

did it get canceled today because of the weather?
Went at it full speed ahead, when I left at 12:15 they were still on the field.

By cutting eight sport programs, you have to wonder if Tulane will drop out of the SEC , due to the lack of 14 athletic teams.

Actually, there is a very large Mormon population in this area, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a good turnout for a game in Denton. I'm not sure how many of them like football, but my guess is that they'd show up to support the school.
Can we expect all the Methodist in the area to show up for the SMU game ?

To give this a bit of perspective. Texas Tech has only been in exsistance since 1923. North Texas was in it's tenth year of playing football at that point.
Tech regents approve construction for $45 million stadium expansion
LUBBOCK, Texas Texas Tech's expanding its football stadium by ten-thousand seats -- including those in 19 new luxury suites.
The Texas Tech University System regents today approved construction of the 45 (M) million expansion.
Tech Athletic Director Gerald Myers says the approval is contingent on the athletic department obtaining the money -- of which as much as 20 (M) million dollars would come in gifts.*
The east side expansion will include a parking garage for one-thousand-80 cars, 300 club seats, a 55-hundred-seat upper deck and 45-hundred more seats in each of the stadium's four corners. That would bring capacity to just over 63-thousand seats.
Sale of those club seats and fparking spaces , along with increased attendance.
The parking garage could be done by 2007 and the upper deck by the 2009 season.
Myers said the expansion will put the school is about the middle of the Big 12 in stadium capacity.
* And the rest would come from where?

practice today ? toomorrow ?

I visted with the West Texas's quarterback's father a few days ago. He told me his son was quite impressed with Leaf. By the way the WT quarterback led the nation (DII) in passing yardage last year.

In the spirit of your question, which is there is NO chance of membership in CUSA, I would choose a 12-team, East/West WAC with the following teams:
East
New Mexico State
North Texas
Louisiana (Lafayette)
Louisiana Tech
Arkansas State
Troy
West
Idaho
Boise State
Utah State
Nevada
Fresno State
Hawaii
The teams that I omitted have had serious attendance problems with the possible exception of Middle. If they were included and Idaho eliminated, I'd be all for it. In fact, before the Vandals hired Dennis Erickson they were on my elimination list.
Under an East/West setup, we would only have to visit and individual West Division team every fourth year, thereby lowering travel expenses considerably. Of course, any conference that contains Hawaii is going to have huge travel expenses but once every four years with an additional game for compensation would make it far more palatable.
The other drawbacks to me are negligible. Time is a small factor but in this day of air travel there's little more than an hour or two difference to anywhere in the continental U.S. Most newspapers don't go to press until midnight or later so game scores will usually be included. There probably aren't many alumni of the West Division schools but then how many FAU and FIU alums do you know? Almost none of the distant school alums travel with their team, regardless of conference. We will pick up an old nemesis (a team that we very seldom beat) in Nevada, but we need to learn to overcome those situations anyway.
The conference should command better bowl selections and a bigger piece of the NCAA pie. Better teams attract better players and coaches (or at least the current ones must rise to the occasion). Moving up is better, and this would definitely be a move up.
Would be a long stretch for Troy ( Ala.) ,how about subbing UTEP or Tulsa for Troy ?

When you are watching curling and wondering if any of those athletes are capable of playing DT.

A lot of the players on the non-USA teams are major league players , not only were their players natives to those countries ,but USA players that parents , grandparents ,etc. had ties to those countries were eligible to represent other countries.
