The dog could be a diabetic.
I see what you did there. Well played.

I hope it isn't true, because Chico has shown to be creative when he has the pieces to work with. Once Jimmerson, Chancellor, etc... were injured the offense really seemed to become stagnant.

we're pleased. 1.2 million buyout if he leaves before 2019.
that's free money for next coach.
willie t. didn't leave the cupboard bare.
demarkus smith sat out this year. he was a 4* and number 11 rated qb in country according to rivals. dual threat.
it's got all the locals fired up for sure.
The buyout was a smart move, because he has never stayed anywhere for long.

Because we were the only ones that would let him late-enroll with a scholarship after practicing in the fall with a JUCO team?
Question. Some info.
Fact or opinion? Just curious.

And keep the female admin assistants away.

But it's not that we want to be competitive with old SWC schools. Some (actually a select few) get all bent out of shape when we ask why we're CONSISTENTLY losing recruiting battles...and subsequently on the field...to the ULM's, ULL's, and Arky State's of the football world. If we were at the top (or near the top) of the Sun Belt I think many of us would happily hop on the good ship lolli-pop with the rest of the apologists. We're not close. Until we can be competitive with even the worst conference in football all of the excuses are just that.
"He's a coach..." is a tired EXCUSE
"It's Dodge's fault" is an EXCUSE (Funny that many of the same apologists were on the pie forum crying about how our President can't try to blame his predecessor for the previous four years...then promptly ran over here with the same ol' song and dance)
We have better facilities, better funding, better location than the teams that are killing us on the recruiting trail. We are in for another loooong season if we keep beating out the juggernauts of the SWAC for players.
It is not about being an apologist, it is about being a realist. Mac followed the failed experiment known as the Dodge years. Call them what you want, but that is fact. Taking that into consideration, I think constantly crying about what we don't have right now is ridiculous. Mac deserves time to turn this around and every indication tells me that he has made some positive changes. Is everything perfect at this time? Not by a long shot, but it is headed in the right direction.
Everyone wants to jump on Mac's overall record, but he took over a program at Iowa State that had rarely won and was the constant doormat of its conference. That change couldn't happen overnight, and it didn't, but turning that program around took a monumental effort. I believe he deserves the chance to do the same here, which includes being given a realistic timeframe to achieve success. By the way, two seasons isn't enough. We finally have a coach that wants to turn this around and appears to be at the age where moving up isn't that important, but committing the program to success is. Let's give the man a chance.
Yes, recruiting could be better, but we won't attract the 3, 4, and possibly 5 star players until we start winning consistently and beating more successful programs. We have to give these kids a reason to come here. Apogee and all the other new facilities are great, but if we don't win, they won't come.
So call me an apologist if you wish. You aren't hurting my feelings Officer Jackson. I'm just tired of the people not giving the man a fighting chance to turn this around, not looking at the entire picture and thinking they have all the answers when you are around the program maybe 10 times a year and the head coach lives and breaths it 365 days a year and who's livelyhood depends on its success.
Carry on.

Somebody tell the goats to stay off of his motorcycle.

Fire "somebody" on the offensive staff? Really? The blame for our offensive system rests with Mac. The staff is just following orders. Must have been a survey when Mac was hired that we wanted to see the tight end involved, so he has taken TE use to a whole new level.
I have read this claim a number of times. Does anyone have a shred of evidence to this claim or is it an internet legend?

I don't think TCU has ever had classes as lowly rated as NT's have been since moving back up to FB status. They build up getting kids that didn't have offers from the big 12 not that didn't have offers from anywhere.
I don't think comparisons to TCU are accurate since they had/have name recognition from the SWC. Now Boise would be a more fair comparison.

Don't throw your shoulder out patting yourself on your back coach, I mean officer. I have a title at work also, but I don't get bent out of shape if someone just calls me by my name.
Does being a sergeant qualify you to rate football talent?

Losing recruits to Texas St.
Great...
Woodard played for Fran's son, who is now an assistant at Texas State, at Blinn. Not surprised and you shouldn't be either.

Let it go officer. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.

I see Tech going after Kingsbury. Just my two cents.

Getting a little tired of 5-10 LB's
Akunne seems to have worked out just fine. Who else would you be referencing? I believe our other recruit, Scott, was picked up to play FB.

How smoking during pregnancy affects you and your baby

Your point is?
From the article:
They also express concerns that marijuana's increased popularity among teenagers and young adults could put this group at higher risk.
"The emergence of bioengineered crops and novel, medicinal marijuana strains, means that marijuana is no longer what it used to be in the 1970's and early 1980s': some new, high potency strains, including some medicinal marijuana blends such as 'Connie Chung' and many others, contain up to 20 times more THC, the psychoactive constituent of marijuana, than did 'traditional' marijuana from the 1970's and early 1980's " explains co-author Dr. Delphine Psychoyos from the Center for Genetic and Environmental Medicine at Texas A&M University. "Furthermore, with the emergence of dispensaries and Internet websites, high potency marijuana and Spice products are now readily available to the general population."
"Given that marijuana is the most widely used illicit drug by pregnant women worldwide -- one study estimates the rate is as high as 20 per cent -- this is a major issue."
Recent research from the past 5 years has shown that marijuana exposure during pregnancy has been associated with anencephaly, a non-sustaining life condition where a large part of the skull or brain is absent

Seems to be a class individual proving loyalty means nothing in college athletics.

Has it really gotten so bad that people refer to our President and AD as "Fric and Frac" or complain about every little thing about our program? Honestly, none of us know what is going on proof by Tulane heading to the Big East.

We are too busy whoring ourselves out to the Iowas and Georgias of the world to worry about 6 home games.
You are right. I am sure we haven't tried to schedule six.
-
And that is why they are Southern Miss... and we aren't.
They came up with those millions by whoring themselves out to Nebraska.

I do agree the buck stops with RV. I never countered that point. I disagree with calling for his head.
I agree. Brought to you by UNTLifer with 20 years of management experience.

Unfortunately, not us. This is the kind of young man that we will read about down the road at some university being a leader and having great work ethic, etc...
