Either the terms "safety" and "cornerback" are interchangeable in our new defense or the writer had several mental lapses.

Perhaps not but I bet his INT totals would be vastly improved.

She told me about that. Said some chubby white guy who looked like a horrid football player yelled at her.

So Lera calls me yesterday to tell me that she is taking part in this sports trivia contest at work with the prize being two tickets to sit in the Belo suite with free food and beverage at Sunday nights Stars playoff game...then she calls me back to tell me she won! I am at a total loss as to how she became so sports knowledgeable but I gotta say I am impressed and had to brag on her a little bit. For those wondering what this has to do with football I believe there was a bonus question asking how many D1 teams have white helmets and whether green ones look better. I'm pretty sure that was what the question entailed.

I think this now makes two SLC quarterbacks hitching their wagons to Big XII dreams...and they will find that those dreams will be short lived.

If I send you a photo (and if I can get his permission) can you do one with Diet Coke Boy on it?

Overall a pretty balanced interview. I like that Dr. B clarified that we are after more long term goals and not just the "flashy" stop-gap stuff that would be great in the now but not so much in the long run.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I was thinkin' to myself "Geez, now this guy goes and takes us to only our second NCAA tournament appearance ever. Now I'll have to deal with almost two weeks straight of seeing NT in the local and national media. Recruits we could have never touched might consider coming to NT. Now we'll have an established coach at our school who will have stability and continuity in the program and coach to sell to said recruits. That happens all the time so this is just more of the same. Please, oh please, won't somebody get rid of this JJ guy!?"

Yes, but only if operated on a public roadway.

Two things I can tell you about that photo.... 1)It's pre-2001 because I'm wearing a Talons shirt and my pin...plus Courtland is to my left grabbing all the free food he can. 2)Lera is somewhere nearby because there isn't a crowd of women to my right or left.

Billy Gillespie does his best Howard Dean impression.

I have always thought men's soccer was a no-brainer. Hell, I woulda tried to walk on as a student. We are literally in one of the hotbeds for talent in America as well. The club and high school ranks are littered with guys who would/could bring NT to a top level within a matter of a few years. Also, it really doesn't cost much to maintain given that uniforms/cleats/balls are your only real costs outside of travel. Baseball would be more expensive by far. Not to mention I'm sure we could hold about 15 scholarships aside and the rest could be guys who would gladly play as walkons.

The number one reason we don't want a stadium like SMU's.....drumroll please..... We haven't figured out how to get the funding for ANY stadium yet so we'll settle for complaining about any stadium in principle.

Billy Gillespie, 7-time gold medal winner at the (special) Olympics. Too low brow?

I plan on setting up shop in the parking lot across the street from Mockingbird station where the Jason's Deli is. I live 10 minutes away so I figure I'll get out there at about 10 or so.

I see nothing.

Guess I just added another trip to my summer schedule.

Poor poor Gillespie. That Kentucky job is a relentless pressure cooker just like the Bama football job. Short of digging up Rupp and propping his corpse up on the sidelines Gillespie will never satisfy Kentucky fans.

This addresses my biggest concern for next season. Next up, a scorer who can take up the slack left by C-Wat and KD....Joseph Fulce PLEASE sign. Or maybe Busby-Hayden?

I wouldn't think so. Kentucky has already been turned down by Donovan and others so maybe Gillespie doesn't take the job and UT's coach is the next in line.

Should I send you mine or is that another of your "Beat Emmitt at all costs since we couldn't possibly match up with him" posts?

I like this one the best. Seems he's got good taste in schools. http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...p;Q_SEASON=2007

Are you sure? You may be giving Dale Hansen too much credit.

That's all I can manage on that one.
