    We started two freshmen and a junior.  If everyone returns, we have these three plus Combs.  So, where is the big rebuilding year BV talks about?  

    It's hard to rebuild IF we only have a couple of schollys available. Next year will likely be more about a "recoaching" season than a rebuilding season. We can only hope so after these 5 years of self-destruction.

    he could win in the lowly Sun Belt, but could not win a big game and in many cases his coaching lost many games the team should have won. Yes he was a very good recruiter, but an average game day coach. He was exposed in SEC, when he top recruiting classes and did not succeed.

    I have to agree with you that JJ was basically an average game day coach. He got us to being on the cusp of real success, but he had a difficult time getting us over the hump. Besides, bringing back high level personnel rarely seems to work out well whether you're hiring in the entertainment world or the real world. New blood.

  3. I'd love to play WMU in Dallas. Both venues would be fun and convenient, but HOD sure beats playing a Navy or UT in Ft. Worth as far as actually pulling off the win is concerned. Beating a ranked and undefeated team would be one hell of a shot in the arm for this program.

    Army again? Well, nice to pull off the second win, but it wouldn't really turn a lot of heads. I guess I'm just getting a little impatient as far as the turning heads thing is concerned.

  4. Win this one and homecoming and Top 60 will be in range. I'm thinking that this week will be a little tougher than many expect, but I think that we pull it off in a relatively low scoring game. Their guys in the trenches look to be a good bit bigger and more physical than Army's. We've just got to continue to win the T/O game and get Fine going a little more through the air.

  5. Go West young men/women, go West. To me, it's simply a half notch upgrade with more stability. If we do somehow find a way to become significant on a national level, I suspect that the MWC would be a much better jumping off point to get to where we ultimately want to be. Plus I personally do love it out there in the mountains.

  6. I'll give it a shot:

    Coach Littrell, the man who will lead us out of football hell.

    Coach Littrell's spread, something that opposing defenses will dread.

    A new system a new day, on Bonnie Brae.

    As the sleeping giant awakens, we will no longer be foresaken. Go Mean Green.

    All I got.

    We were told by one poster on here that 2 wins would be absolutely unacceptable in 2016...even though ever single media outlet so far has us ranked anywhere from 123-128 in FBS. 

    Don't judge this season on wins and losses on the field...only in recruiting 

    Last year most of those rankings had us at around .500, so let's hope that they are wrong once again. A BIG improvement on defense gives us a chance for a significant turnaround.

    And now this. This isn't about black lives, this is about anarchy. 

    But, hey, Mr. President, they were just "rightfully upset," right? 

    Just reported one officer has a broken vertebrae in his neck from having a cinder block dropped on his head. 

    But we need a dialog with these folks, cause they will listen, right @Quoner?

    "And now this. This isn't about black lives, this is about anarchy. "

    Hard not to agree with you. IMO, these protests have more to do with people frustrated about their own crappy lives, than it does with the occasional police shooting incident. There would be masses of protests in Chicago daily if it were all simply about black lives. 

    Of course the rallies are being fueled by radical leaders online who have their own agendas, and it's easy to find young people who behave like cattle and are out looking for excitement. I spent a lot of time looking for excitement myself when I was in my teens and twenties. Sad situation all around.

    Agree.  She violated 18 U.S. Code 793.

    At least 110 emails were listed as "Classified" or higher.

    Her lawyers intentionally erased others to keep them out of the investigation.

    She has testified she used only one device to read/send emails...but the FBI says she used multiple devices.

    And it goes on.

     

    Rick

    Thinking that the Clinton's law breaking activities only include the publicly known accusations, is like thinking that a 3 time convicted DWI guy only drove drunk 3 times. Those 2 slick HillWillies just can't be trusted.

    Again, do all the mental gymnastics you want.  Her actions were treasonous, and disregarded the gravity of her office, her oath to serve her country as Secretary of State, and the security of the people of the U.S.

    If you or I did something similar, we would be in handcuffs in a federal prison cell.

    Same goes for Big Billy's perjurious lies. As both the POTUS and an attorney, I guess he just wasn't educated enough to know any better.

    President Obaja has now blamed gun control, slavery, and the crusades as the reason the current environment exists in this country. 

    It isn't.

    Its you, Mr. President. You blame things that happened well over 100 years ago for your own faults. And by doing this, you tell white police officers they deserve their fate. You tell black youths it's ok to disobey and assault police. You create an environment that is dangerous for people of color and police, all for your party's political gain.

    Its the politics of hate. It's the politics of division. You need to stop. 

    You need to tell young black youths (hell, everyone, for that matter) that it's a no win situation to fight police. You need to tell them the place to challenge anything isn't on the street. You need to tell them that they will get free legal representation and that is the time and place to handle any issues. You don't. And police and black people are injured and killed because of your wanton lack of leadership and race baiting.

    Why is Al Sharpton, a regular race baiter who profits on the death of black youth, a constant visitor at the White House? Even though he is under federal investigation for tax evasion? And why does every media outlet in America give you a pass for entertaining a racist on a regular occasion? 

    Lead, Mr. Presdent. Lead. Are black people better off than they were 8 years ago? Hell, are any of us? You have ripped this country apart by using race as a political tool, and people are dying. Today. Under your watch. Not 150 years ago. Not in the crusades. Now. Your legacy is a racially divided country that you enabled and encouraged. You have 6 months left to change that. You should, but you won't.

    And now you blame a machine for something you fostered and encouraged. Not your fault, right? Nothing ever is. 

    Stop encouraging an organization founded on lies and funded by a rich, white, ultra-liberal supporter of yours. 

    The blood of these officers is on your hands. The blood of the shooter is on your hands. You have the power to promote unity and healing, but you don't. Ever. 

     

    I don't always agree with your posts in total, but several points there are valid IMO. Obama needs to keep his nose out of state and local issues until it's clear that those issues are endemic to a particular city or region.

    He seems to want to heroically govern like this is 1965, but the environment out there has clearly changed significantly over the past half a century. If state and local governments clearly can't handle it, then by all means open your mouth and use federal resources.

    Otherwise, he should just keep quiet until things have run their course. His mouth has divided this country more than we have seen in decades, and I fear that HillTrump will do the same.

    Guess what, when the president implies cops are guilty without any knowledge of the facts of the investigation, these are the consequences. The first black president welds a lot of power in the black community. All he has done is use that power to divide, especially where police shootings are concerned. He doesn't comment on white people shot by police, leading the uneducated to believe police are only shooting black people and doing it because they are black.

    The President has constantly thrown police officers to the wolves, destroying their career and families for simple political gain. Morale at departments are at an all-time low. Applications have fallen. Who wants to go into a profession under constant attack by the President of the United States? 

    Here are Pres. Obama's comments just hours before the Dallas massacre: 

    http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/president-obama-address-police-shootings/story?id=40419109

    Gas on the fire, Mr. President. Now you have the blood of Dallas on your hands.

     

     

    It's hard to deny that he shows bias, and his usual comments after these incidents certainly do not help matters. He should keep his nose out of state and local issues until federal intervention is warranted. Opening his mouth the day after an incident generally doesn't do anything but fan the flames.

  13. Ditto to the thread title. Toughest day in downtown Dallas since Kennedy at least, and that has been a LONG time. I left the West End around 10 minutes before it started.

    God Bless our cops, and random incidents attributed to rogue cops in a country of 330 million should not be an indictment of the criminal justice system as a whole. Every system has its faults, and social media will jump all over those faults often to the detriment of civility.
