You all want a coach that is willing to rebuild your program and stay unless a big BCS school comes a long you need to look at some of the best IAA coaches in the nation. They know how to coach in big games and some know what it takes to beat the bigger schools. Heres the list: Deleware- Kurt Keller Took jobin 2002- 33-16 IAA National Title James Madison- Mickey Matthews Took job in 1999- 47-37 IAA National Title Montana- Bobby Hauck Took job in 2003- 29-11, 3 Conf Chamionships Former GA Southern Coach- Mike Sewak Coach from 2002-2005 36-15 New Hampshire- Sean McDonnell Took job in 1999- 44-38, #1 in IAA right now

I really don't understand the mentality on 99% of the SunBelt and MAC schools. "We must stay together so we can be a regional conf" Well as a former MAC member, I know they didn't even go to Away games. Bowling Green and Toledo are 16 miles apart. And neither bring more then 400 ppl in any given year. Kent and Akron are 21 miles apart and its the same. I would rather play in Texas, Florida and Missippi all 3 good recriting beds. With actual fans in the seats. Rather then playing in Ohio Michigan conf infront of 6K and over half of the fans are yours. Why would you not want to join the WAC and go to California. Another hotbed of recruiting. Play in Hawaii and New Mexico. And go to Fresno and play infront of 35-40K and Boise and play infront of 30-32K or Hawaii and play infront of 35-37K. Its called exposer. You join the WAC then in OOC you sign schools close to you, make your OOC schedule look like this: IAA team (Sam Houston, Texas State, McNesse) 1 BCS school (Okie State, Texas Tech, Baylor, Kansas, Kansas St, Miss. St, Ole Miss) 1 Med Non BCS school (MTSU, ULL, Troy) 1 Hard Non BCS team (Tulsa, SMiss, Houston). And Make your schedule look something like this: Texas State Miss St ULL Tulsa NMSU USU Idaho Fresno St Boise St Hawaii LA Tech Nevada Id be ashamed of my admin., if I let other schools make conference decisions for me.

Thats because they are all Ohio State fans. Most Akron sports fans was in Columbus watching Ohio State and Penn State. This is true with most MAC fans. Here's another example. This is the way with most ppl that go to MAC schools on Sat they are usually in Columbus, South Bend, West Lafayette or Ann Arbor You must have not went on Can'o'Corn night. Seriously they pick out 2 games a year and have Can'o'Corn night. You bring a Can'o'Corn you get in the game for a quarter. Here is a picture of Can'oCorn Night.

MU begins building project By Justin McElroy The Herald-Dispatch HUNTINGTON -- Marshall University will be expanding once again in 2007, as the school's board of governors chose a developer for a new $95 million project that includes a health and wellness center, student housing and parking. Work is still in a largely conceptual state, Capstone Management of Birmingham, Ala., the development firm, has only the basic details about what the project may look like. They say that the 125,000-square-foot health and wellness center should be around three stories tall and built with red brick glass and cast stone, similar to other newer facilities on Marshall's campus. Capstone officials said that the health and wellness facility is a top priority, not only for the school, but also for their This institution is in a position to take off in a very positive way," Capstone President Douglas Brown said. "This (center) will make it not only a more healthy institution, but a more healthy community." The project also includes a student housing project of 712 beds. That amount would translate to a 1,000-foot-long facility if laid end to end, but it seems likely that it will be broken up into several buildings. At the same time, Capstone is planning to build a new baseball field and update the softball field, both to NCAA and Conference USA standards. The $95 million also tentatively includes a 500-space parking garage. It is not set where the facilities will be. Different configurations have been discussed, but the university hopes to get started on construction in the spring of next year and have it complete by the end of 2008, with the housing done by August of 2008, so decisions will probably be made soon. In addition to being state-of-the-art buildings, they're also being funded in a relatively new way. In fact, the setup is the first of its kind in West Virginia. The school and Capstone have agreed to make this what's called an "Off Balance Sheet Project." Marshall can not afford the expansion on its own, so Capstone will actually own and operate the buildings until their investment has been returned, when the buildings will revert back to the school. The way board chairman Menis Ketchum explained it, the facility will be run by Marshall personnel, but the development firm will be paying their salaries. That also means that Capstone will be collecting user fees for the health and wellness center, and the fees for staying in the housing. The developers will set rates inconjunction with Marshall, but Ketchum said that their proposed rent is cheaper than what the school currently charges for housing. This project is "a quantum leap," said Brown. "I don't know of many institutions taking this kind of step, and they're doing it in a very responsible way." The health and wellness center will be designed by St. Louis' Hastings and Chivetta Architects, a firm which has created more than 155 similar facilities. Design Collective of Baltimore will be designing the student housing. Mascaro Construction, which is putting finishing touches on the Robert C. Byrd Biotechnology Science Center, is set to handle construction. http://www.herald-dispatch.com/apps/pbcs.d...EWS01/608240345 Out of this there will be: Health and Wellness Center (3 Stories) New Co-Ed Dorms (712 beds) New Baseball Stadium (2500 seat facility) Softball Field Renovated New Tennis Courts 2 500 Parking Lots

So the N. Texas SMU game isn't a NCAA sponsored event (Hummmmm did you all go NAIA or something). And anytime you anticipate selling over 750.00 at an event you need a temp small business liscence. Our tailgate is set and cleared for every game this year if we give back to the university and we have a small business liscence. Even though we don't sell we take donations up for the next tailgate and roughly get around 1100 dollars. The city and state doesn't see it that way so we just buy a small business liscence. Would rather have my house in order then the NCAA come knocking.

You are just itching for NCAA violations aren't you. Unless you clear it with the NCAA you can't give monies to any school club or athletic funded project, from a tailgate or athleticlly funded affair. And to do what you suggest you should have whats called a temp. small business licence.

TCU 2005 Schedule Oklahoma SMU** Utah BYU New Mexico Wyoming Army Air Force San Diego State Colarado State UNLV Iowa State **TCUs only loss of the season and they were also MWC champs also. TCU also beat Iowa State in their bowl game.

I remember last year at this time many Greenies screaming that they were going to dismantle the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. If my memory serves me correct the final score was: Tulsa 54 N. Texas 2
