Hawaii did have an 0-12 season, but not under Jones.

It seemed to me he was taking a lot of misfits who had either been kicked off other teams (Colt Brennan) or who were generally not too attractive in recruitment by other schools. Taking an 0-12 team from 1998 and turning it around to 9-4 speaks volumes about the ability of a good coaching staff.

No. Married men don't live longer. They die sooner. Why? Because they want to!

Pull the defense off the field completely. Let the other team score a touchdown in 1 or 2 plays on every drive. When the other team kicks off, don't touch the ball. Let it go into the end zone every time. Then hope we can reciprocate and go for two after every touchdown since we probably have better odds of running it in than we do of kicking a successful PAT. Put Riley Dodge in at center, make him an eligible receiver, let him hike the ball to himself, throw the ball, and catch his own passes. Teach the band the fight song for SLC. Always be ready to remind the critical public of TD's success at the high school level. Bring in a bunch of 16yo freshman who will better relate to TD's coaching style.

If so, will they remain silent in response to the criticism?

I dunno. I've found the multiple choice scantron tests pretty easy so far.

After watching 3 of the 4 games this season, I now honestly believe that you could field this group of players with NO COACHING STAFF AT ALL and they couldn't possibly perform any worse. Hell, they might loosen up and do a little better! The product Dodge is putting on the field isn't a football team. It's a group of self defeating, undisciplined (biggest woe in my mind), quitting scrimmage dummies. He admitted in post game comments last night that he's embarrassed. An he should well be! I know Quoner will have a field day on Monday summing up all our bitching, but dude, this is the worst football product I've ever seen, and I've seen Cal State Fullerton lose to 1aa Sacramento State! Anyhoo...see ya' all next week at the game!

0-4 record Cumulatively outscored 219-55. If you gave UNT its 55 total season points, it would only be good enough to win two of its first four games, and that's only because the other teams put the brakes on. This, as far as I can tell, puts us solidly at #1. I saw last night that Todd Dodge gets an incentive bonus if UNT is nationally ranked. Does this count?

I'd call them on it next time you see them in class. I think I've got a couple football players in one of my classes, but I don't know who they are.

I'm not sure how it works out, but I'm pretty certain that every team in the youth Frisco Football League is the Longhorns.

That is pretty piss poor. UC Irvine's baseball coach makes more than that.

What's Dodge making, besides too much?

Quoner's gonna' have a heyday on Monday morning.

Next week's headline: Riley Dodge to Transfer to UT.

I'm not sure we could beat Prosper High right now. Nonetheless, I'll be there next weekend.

What are there, maybe 12 people in that stadium? Is that what 20,000 people looks like in a 50,000 seat stadium?

Am I possibly a bit confused here? Doesn't the money from body-bag games go into operating funds for the team? Isn't that separate money entirely from any proposed stadium fund?

I figured that would be a problem, hence the question of cost comparison.

I favor my rice fried or steamed.

In the interim, I wonder what the cost comparison would be between playing at Fouts vs. contracting to play at Pizza Hut Park. The place seats 20,000 for soccer, Frisco High School plays some of its games there, there is plenty of parking, a Comfort Suites opening up that visiting teams could stay at, plenty of options for eating and drinking (for those too lame to do it themselves in the parking lot). If UNT played their cards right, they could sell season tickets to the existing luxury suites in Pizza Hut Park as well as get some good corporate season ticket sales. Hell, who cares about the Rough Riders, and that place is making money hand over fist -- just because image conscious Friscoans need a place to be seen. Of course, it would probably mean no more free student tickets and considerably higher parking costs, but it sure as hell would send a message to the City of Denton. Besides, I could be in and out of that place in no time seeing as I live a mile down the street!

One more: Clement Chase: Tony Robbins:

Quoner deems it necessary this week, so I must comply. I'll start with the stadium And yoshinoya, complete with goalposts.

In regards to the OP, may I inquire as to why UTEP are the bad guys? Did they insult UNT or something? El Paso was pretty much a second home to me while I was working, and that place supports its football team through good and bad like you wouldn't believe. Other than some of the best Mexican food in the country, they don't have much else to do there. Geographically, El Paso is a smelly desert wasteland dump. It's population, on the other hand, to a man, consists of the nicest people I've ever met. I have been to that city probably close to 50 times, and have been in every neighborhood. I've not had a bad experience with people there at all (plus or minus one or two off duty and drunk military personnel). If you visit the UTEP campus, you will see that the great majority of its students are indeed locals from the El Paso area (some are from Las Cruces as the two schools have a reciprocal tuition agreement). UTEP really is to the El Paso area what UNT should strive to be for North Texas -- a public research university that serves its local residents and is an integral part of the community at large. *I don't know anything about NMSU except for the days a thousand years ago when they were in our conference (Big West) and the basketball coach, Neil McCarthy, would just stick it to us mercilessly every time we played. They were a sweet sixteen team, we were a hapless D1 team that couldn't draw 1,000 people and would probably have lost to the local JC.

I don't want to make a federal case out of five dollars, but I ended up sitting next to a female student and her non-student boyfriend. He told me that he paid face value for his ticket -- no surcharge. I can't verify it, but I swear I heard somebody else saying they paid two or three bucks surcharge on their ticket. I paid five. Something is fishy in the ticket office my mean green friends. Five bucks extra for one ticket for my daughter isn't going to break me, but you can sure as shaving cream bet I would be upset about it if I had a family of four. Five bucks on a ten dollar ticket is a fifty percent increase in net cost to me, and given the product being marketing, I don't think I would pay that premium in any volume. I'll be heading over this week to pick up a ticket for the FIU game, and there will be some hard questions asked if they try to pull this stunt on me again. I'd like to know who to contact if they do it to me again.

But I bought my extra ticket directly from the ticket office in person. And they still charged me the extra five bucks. I'm guessing it's because I used a card instead of cash.

Is there any way to avoid that ticket surcharge? I paid five bucks last time, but I used a card. Can I use cash to get out of it?
