High school camp as I understand it. Great chance to get out some offers and maybe a commit or twelve.

I have to give Notre Dame credit for not being sniffling cowards like our regional Big 12 neighbors. Notre Dame has the courage to play home & home games against it's opponents while the coward schools all try to play 7 or 8 home games every season.

I wish the NCAA would grow a pair and mandate that every team will play exactly half their games as home games (neutral sites counting as home games every other year). The cowards fans wouldn't like the rule, but it's the right thing to do.
The NY Yankees make more money than any othe Major League team. Should they therefore get to play all their games at home?
Sports are sports, they are supposed to be competitive with a level playing field for all contestants. Only cowards who aren't willing to understand sports want the the advantage artificially tipped in their favor.
And their schedule also COMPLETELY negates the complaint you'll hear from fans of a lot of our Big XII neighbors that "they don't have to play in a conference so they shouldn't get an auto bid to the BCS." Tell me, who would want to play in a conference that included Michigan, Michigan St, USC, Penn State and UCLA? Or, tell me how that lineup isn't at least the equal of Tech, Baylor, UT, aTm and Oklahoma.

Look at the situation at A&M, Dustin Long vs. Reggie McNeal. Fran goes with the athlete instead of the QB.
So now you're suggesting that Woody WILL start? I don't get it.
In all seriousness, what makes you so convinced that Woody won't be our starter this year? I'm not convinced that he will but you won't see me throwing it out there that he has no chance...unless I offer up some really damn good credentials or it's announced that I've been made a part of the coaching staff. And don't give me this "he played the least in the spring game" crap because so did J-Mo. Also, don't give me this "he's an athlete but he's not accurate enough" because, if you've seen a shred of tape from our games last season we didn't exactly have John Elway under center at ANY point.

For what it's work ArkStfan I feel your pain. To many on this board any conglomeration of schools, so long as it has the Sun Belt name, is satan. That you never suggested that the Sun Belt would have the exact same lineup it does today (and in fact stated that it would look drastically different) is inconsequential I guess.
-
Woody better say the right things or his ass will stay on the bench. Riley's signing has no bearing on him. They should have asked Tune or Vizza what they thought of the oral commitment.
I'm still trying to convince my wife to go to that football clinic for women. Will you be coaching there?

Note that nowhere on it does it say exes.

All the griping we do about people still being in the parking lot during games...here's a part of a TCU conversation abouts selling out ACS:
And as for people showing up to Fouts, or even knowing who we are, another quote:I do know one thing our students section usually is NOT sold out. Usually they stick to the beer and tailgating activities. And now because of that tradition no matter how well the Frogs do, the support during the game is outside the stadium not inside the stadium where it should be. You don't know how inflating it is to be a top 25 team and to run on the field and only the alumni lower section is sold out. Then you look at the student section and only the Super Frogs are there.Two years ago when we finished number 9 in the nation I was at a restauraunt in west fort worth. I was wearing a TCU football shirt and a high school girl asked me about TCU, which she was considering. I then told her all the advantages of going to TCU plus the football team just finished #9. She then replied " In the state?" "uh...no in the nation." was my response, i had no idea how someone could not know about TCU football at that time. And this was just off Hulen Street. jeeshPoint being, there will always be those who are ignorant to what is going on at NT (even on campus) and we will not see a quick fix (no, not even a stadium). All we can do is invite everyone we know, travel well on the road and stay the course.

Here's the breakdown on our '08 recruits so far.
2 - Offensive linemen
2 - Wide receivers
1 - Athletes (WR, DB ?)
1 - Running back
1 - Linebacker
1 - Defensive back
1 - Quarterback (Riley shows as an athlete on Rivals)
North Texas committmentshttp://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/commi...&School=163
Add to this 6 WR commits in the 07 class plus Evan Fentriss. That's now 9 WR's in addition to any currently on scholarship that won't be seniors this season.

Is Dodge preparing to institue a 10 wide formation?

New stadium design a knock-out
Designs for on-campus football stadium 95 percent complete
Adam Ferrise
Issue date: 7/17/07 Section: News
The new on-campus football stadium designs will be released August 1 at UA's board of trustees meeting.
A knock-out.
That's what Ted Curtis, the University of Akron's VP of capital planning and facility management, called the design of the new stadium.
The design, which is about 95 percent finalized, will be built adjacent to Lee Jackson Field and the Athletic Field House. Although the drawings aren't yet finalized, Curtis said they will not undergo much change from what the university already received from Cleveland-based HNTB Ohio Architecture Inc., the designer of the complex. HNTB is the company responsible for designing the state-of-the-art 75,000-seat San Francisco 49ers stadium.
The stadium design awaits the approval of the board of trustees at its Aug. 1 meeting.
The new stadium will seat between 25,000 to 30,000 people and includes 17 suites, 28 loges and 400 club seats.
Curtis said the building will be used for more than football functions. The stadium includes a 45,000 square foot, two-level area that will be used for classrooms. There will also be residence housing for students in the area of the new stadium, but details aren't finalized. The university is also looking into using the venue for other events such as concerts or high school football games.
"We still have a lot to work on, but certainly we would want to develop partnerships with the Akron community so that other events are held at the stadium," said director of athletics Mack Rhoades. "Certainly we think high school football would be a great fit."
The university commissioned $2 million for the design of the stadium. The cost to build the stadium is estimated at $52.125 million.

And the gap between us and even the lowest rated of 1A schools gets larger.

Just ordered a pair of tickets.

with crimson and navy stick marks adorning the crowns of our valiant warriors. Like war paint our enemies will have a visual story conveying to them what our intentions are to do to them on the gridiron
Tell me you are not talking about "pride stickers." If so, even I will laugh at our team when they take the field.

Can anyone verify that the helmets shown for 63 and 64-66 are authentic? If so, I have to buy those.

If he can't beat a team in the Sun Belt.. well, has he really improved? I think that's where the general frustration comes from.
And I think this is where our frustration comes from. Saying a "a team from the Sun Belt" implies that all teams from the Sun Belt should be inferior to all teams from CUSA. Should we then say Baylor is superior to Boise State? In a round robin tournament the Big XII would wipe the floor with the WAC but head to head Boise is the superior program. Likewise, it is very possible (and has been borne out if you look at Sagarins cumulatively from the last decade) that NT has the superior program when compared to SMU...again, not bias just going by rankings.
I agree, SMU should have the better program for all the reasons you note. Have you, though, considered the enrollment size, availability of a wider array of majors, hotter coeds (you'll never get me to say NT's women aren't superior), or just love for the campus when it comes to NT? Recruiting rankings, if they always bore out who would be successful, should have had UT winning back to back to back national titles in recent years. Bottom line...SMU and NT are comparable in terms of football strength. If you think your coach is holding you back then so be it. But don't cast aspersions on a conference you were 1-1 against last season.
Oh, and speaking of Rice...since you use them as a program that has "managed to generate a turnaround"...they got hammered by the champion of the lil' ol' Sun Belt.

Woody is athletic but cannot throw the ball with any consistency and his decision making is poor or he wouldn't have played the LEAST during the spring.
Well coach, by your logic Jamario is in some BIG trouble. He played the least of the running backs.
-
My favorite quote was from the Plano QB:
"Hopefully coaches will realize we can pass the ball...."
Sorry, the forward pass is still just so new to me. Makes me wonder something. If Todd Dodge came out during the kickoff cookout and gave the NT tradition of the "we're gonna open up the offense" line, how exciting would that be?
-
5. At the 33:30 mark of the scrimmage, It's the Woody Willson show. He ends up being the leading rusher in the game. He's this close to being the starter if he can just show some consistency and calm the hell down. The guy has the jets and turns on a dime that reminds me of Micheal Vick. If he could simply learn this system, calm down and consistently make the reads and throws then he could be scary good in this system.
Be careful. This goes against everything that those "in the know" on this board have been preaching.
-
As long as they are not black I don't really care what they look like as long as they don't have the stupid "North Texas" on the helmet.
Prepare to be disappointed.

-They lost their season opener last year 35-3 to Tech. Then turned around and lost to a DD team that was about as vanilla as can be.
-Demyron Martin had 55 yards against us in the first quarter before spraining his ankle. (that's on pace for 220 for the game) He won't sprain his ankle this year so we better have a run defense.
-Justin Willis was a baby by collegiate standards when he played us. Hell, he hadn't even committed his first hate crime yet!
-We will be breaking in a new offense. Let's be honest, playing OU will tell us little to nothing about this offense...they're just that much faster and stronger.
Soooooo, by my unscientific formula we should win 24-20.

Willie and Phillips are toast and the freshman is a freshman (enough said).
I keep looking for your photo on the meangreensports.com site and have yet to see it under "coaches".

These are far and away better prices than the bookstore or Voertman's if you even remotely like what they have to offer.

for everyone that was talking about wanting a more "simple" hat with the eagle, i like this one
Hey, that's the hat I have!

I think CUSA in its present alignment is where we should be shooting for. If any of the dominoes falls (BSU or FSU to MWC, Anyone to Pac-10, TCU to Big XII) then it benefits us but I would prefer CUSA...yes, even over MWC. The reason being is this. I think if we were to join CUSA (and don't bother with the "SMU wouldn't let us talk" because they would be quickly outvoted if we have our ducks in a row) then it would push the eastern CUSA teams to look for greener pastures. Those greener pastures just might be alignment with the eastern belt schools leaving the UL-? teams and possibly Arky state and La Tech to come into CUSA. Those basketball schools in CUSA are barely tolerating the layout of the conference as it is and I think they could convince some of the basketball/football schools to defect with them. SMU would have to stay with us in CUSA because, let's be frank, nobody else wants them. TCU changes conferences every time SMU comes nipping at their heels and no other conference is beating down the pony door.

All I can say is, if we did recruit either of these kids:
"We didn't want them anyway. They probably would have never seen the field here"

So he wants to go to any of the Big XII schools and if not there any of the DFW schools? Gee, quite a surprise.
