  2. ...actually, it appears that every school had votes that weren't legitimate. VOTE NOW, VOTE OFTEN! Check it out, and keep voting for Caris.
  3. I'd happily take either Todd Dodge or Jim Harbaugh as our new coach. I think both have the ability to become outstanding coaches for us.
  4. Well, back when I was in college I turned down Christy Brinkley every time she didn't contact me. It's much the same way for these coaches that are officially "turning down" North Texas.
  5. These people withdrawing their names from consideration leads me to believe that a selection has been made but has not been announced. The BOR meeting today may provide a few clues.
  6. I may have to reconsider the recomendation. That "legend" didn't appreciate some of my outstanding humor, and I received swats in front of the team on the day he announced that he was leaving for Rice.
  7. Let's see, another former UT quarterback in the mix. All kidding aside, as a former Memorial Mustang, he should automatically be given strong consideration if not offered the job immediately. (Mr. Mary Lou also fits that description, and he too should be given consideration, especially if he can have the "incompletions count as touchdowns when you need them" rule grandfathered in. )
  8. Shouldn't we have 3 bowl teams? Doesn't Louisiana-Lafayette get a bowl invitation if they beat Monroe on Saturday? Won't ULL be 7-5 and by NCAA rules have to be selected before any bowl can select a 6-6 team that wasn't a conference champion? What's the math? How many teams have better than 6-6 records and how many bowl slots are available?
  9. Let begin the new ERA OF......... DODGE BALL!!!
  10. Are you suggesting that they'll leave a full scholarship to play elsewhere? Who else is going to offer them a scholarship? Who else is going to offer them a chance at their quarterback rotation? Those players have been so tainted by Flanigan's system that their options would be really limited even if they did want a change. They should both recover their former abilities under guidance of the new coaches.
  11. Sturns can take pretty much any defender off the dribble and drive past 'em. He needs to be putting that incredible speed to use and start dunking on people.
  12. I would add Phillip Graves of this year's senior class to that list.
  13. 10. Show class and poise after the game. When the contest ends, shake the hands of opponents and show gratitude to your fans and supporters. Wow, it's too bad our lame duck never learned that. I have a feeling that the kids that bolted to the tunnel before the Alma Mater was played have done that for the last time. I wonder what meangreenpop is going to do with his "sulk and sob" speech now.
  14. If so, is this officially our new sweatshirt?
  15. CaribbeanGreen, Are you fishing for some kind of award for actually having read through one of Plumm's posts? C'mon, please admit you bought the Cliff's Notes. You're making me worry.
  16. Where is Bazaldua? Nick is living at his mother's home in Desoto, working, and saving money for when he goes back to school. He has recently gotten engaged, and is contemplating where to pursue his graduate studies. His Rhodes Scholarship is good for pretty much any college on the planet.
  17. NO! Center Ryan Tucker, guard J.P. McFarland, linebacker Jay Davern and tackle Billy Thompson were charged with felony assault for the May 11 beating of a TCU student outside a Fort Worth bar. Sullivan pissed off a lot of people by keeping those players on the team while letting "justice run it's course". They practically beat the kid to death outside Duke's Hi Hat Lounge on Berry Street, and he knew they wouldn't be sentenced until after the season. His last team was crappy(1 & 10), so crappy that the only team they would manage to beat that season was an SMU team that had you-know-who as offensive coordinator. The next season, Dennis Francione was able to take the same team to the Sun Bowl and beat USC.
  18. C'mon guys, the majority of the kids were wearing black jerseys because they were going along with their team leaders. Those people are leaders because they are personally close to their coach. (Remember, to most of these kids Dickey is that nice man who came into mommy's livingroom and said he would pay for their college when nobody else would) I think it's almost fitting that Dickey lost to a bad team during his "childish antics" game. The black shirt thing really doesn't bother me at all. Now, the young men dressed in those uniforms that sprinted to exit before the Brigade played the alma mater is another matter. Freshman Marquis Sykes, Freshman Tyler Bailey, Freshman Bryant Seidle, and Sophmore Casey Fitzgerald, well, they will have some explaining to do if they pull that crap in front of a college coach that actually gives a damn.
  19. I was only pointing out how tight the timeframe is, even with the early termination. Hiring a staff isn't instantanious either. Isn't National Signing Day the first week of February? That's not a lot of time to work with, especially considering there are a couple of weeks of 'dead time' while no contact is allowed with recruits.
  20. Maybe Dickey was punishing the team (and himself) for poor performance. ____________________________________________________________________ Hill's decal ploy works to perfection By Matt James / The Fresno Bee 11/16/06 04:53:20 On Saturday, if you were one of those who found something else to do, Fresno State played its first football game in 30 years without mascot decals on their helmets. Coach Pat Hill, after conferring with his players during the week, had the Bulldogs stickers pulled off the helmets. The idea was that the Bulldogs hadn't earned the right to wear the decals. They hadn't been playing the kind of football Fresno State had become accustomed to playing, so they were being shamed.
  21. OK people I'll state this again. BY STATE LAW, THE JOB OPENING HAS TO BE POSTED FOR 30 DAYS BEFORE SOMEONE CAN BE HIRED. There has to be time for a new coach to assemble a staff and start recruiting before the recruiting dead period starts. If we waited until to fire someone, and the replacement couldn't be hired until January, we would have potentially crippled recruiting for this year and had to settle for a class of substandard players that would be around for the next five years. It's not lollipops and rainbows, but it has to be done that way.
  22. Jamario wasn't familiar with the offense during his freshman year. When a hole wasn't opem he'd usually rely on instinct and instantly bounce the play outside. His only problem now is that he follows the gameplan much better. Think how productive Woody was when he was improvising and we were hearing that he wasn't following the gameplan. What happened to his productivity as he conformed to the system? Let's face facts, our opponents know our system as well as we do. It's when a variable is introduced that they get burned. Jamario will do fine in 2007.
  23. Or, after Wednesday's game, how 'bout The House of Guano!
