Double teamed or single covered it becomes a much harder catch and shoot situation if the guy throwing the ball inbounds has to alter his pass. Why in the world do you think "Quarterback hurries" is a statistic in football? It's because simply pressuring the passer causes worse throws. And if you're using his being "double teamed" as an excuse then the argument gets all the weaker. We can cut off a pass to a guy we know is getting the ball using two defenders? Of course, if you don't take timeout and allow them to draw up the play this is a moot issue.

Different situations. We hadn't just converted a free throw to take the lead with 2 seconds left, thereby forcing them to inbound from below their bucket with no sort of plan drawn up and having to actually run the length of the court to get the shot off. The timeout allowed all of their players to get onto our end of the court to receive a pass with the clock not starting until it was caught. That's the difference. Bad call.

Several things that I saw last night that come down to coaching and coaching alone... 1)McCaleb picks up his 4th foul with about 5 minutes to go and WE DON'T DRIVE AT HIM. That's the coaches job to tell your players to foul that guy out. 2)We were ice cold from beyond the arc. Hey coach, tell your team to pound it down low more. 3)The timeout with 2 seconds left was insane. 4)If you're gonna call a timeout to set up your defense INCLUDE A GUY GUARDING THE INBOUNDS PASS in your little discussion. 5)Where were the people at my tailgate? I blame JJ for this too.

PUT SOMEONE ON THE INBOUNDS PASS! Also, I TOTALLY agree about going at McCaleb. I could tell the refs were shy about calling that 5th foul but we should have driven at him to force their hand. How many times did he drive to the bucket and get either the hoop, the foul or both?

Que?

Anything to help...

From now on we'll chant with subtitles.

Um yeah...I'll be out there by about 5 to cook some dogs and drink some beer in the parking lot.

We will play a pretty fun schedule this year. Here are my predictions, not in the correct order. OU- Loss SMU- Win Arkansas- Loss WKU- Win MAC team- Win Troy- Loss MUTS- Loss LaLaf- Win ULM- Win FAU- Win (Schnelly doesn't own Todge ) FIU- Win Ark St- Win Yep...I'm calling it now. 8-4

On this I'll agree wholeheartedly. Perhaps I just get a little to sensitive when people who have yet to put in the time, sweat, or passion necessary to have a valid opinion (much less criticize) like to lump our whole team as "chokers." Not saying that you fall into this category, you just drew my ire.

Someone should inform Baylor that, though they have already contacted this kid, they are no longer in the Big XII apparently.

Seems Deion Sanders can't keep his nose out of others' business. http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?cid=639178

We have a super recruiting class, but none of them will suit up for the Mean Green until we face Oklahoma at the earliest. Our Mean Green basketballers, on the other hand, will be in action representing your university tomorrow night at 7pm. Let's show that we truly can be a complete athletic department with a universally loyal fan base.

Gee, I don't know...watch NT basketball?

Kyle Russo is on board! This means that Guy Morris came into this kid's living room looking to sway him to Baylor and was told "nope."

Well that would be nice if it were true...but it's not. I'm being charged $100 a month for this season's MGC donation as well as for the remainder of last season's balance. The reason this is, starting this year, is that the donation level for section E is technically now $500. In order to give at the $250 level you have to have your MGC donation AND season ticket money in by March 28. Otherwise you pay the 11 bucks extra per ticket. And they're already taking out the MGC donation for 2007 as we speak. Or at least that's what the lady at the ticket office explained about why I'm paying so much over the next several months.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about this new "pay by March 28th" policy that NT athletics has decided to come up with for sitting in section E...and how much it sucked. So I called the ticket office last week to renew my season tickets and $500 donation to the MGC and was assured that your money is only due by March 28 to lock in the 2006 giving level ($250 to sit in section E) or else you have to pay $100 per ticket if you want to spread out a larger donation over time. So the girl there tells me "With $200 for your two tickets and your donation of $500 plus some $5 processing fee it comes to about $100 a month up until August." Well, that's about what I've been paying for years so I figured no problem. Then the wife looks at our bank account today. $176 for the month of February! I called the NT ticket office to make sure there wasn't some mistake and was assured that, yes, they are spreading my donation out over 7 months. They just somehow weren't done billing me for last season! The girl at the ticket office tells me I OWE money from last season. Owe? Is this really the kind of language that those who give money out of their pockets for the love of NT athletics should be faced with? And how, in the name of God, can you not get a person's donation completely taken care of in the span of one football season? Hell, charge me more for month but don't have me paying last season's donation when the new season rolls around!

I just want to know if Todd Wills is aware that Todge doesn't coach Carroll anymore?

Oh you were very clear. You just didn't listen afterwards. If the students who work the concession stand are from Denton High School then we allow them to set out buckets benefiting DENTON HIGH SCHOOL because it shows a measure of good will towards the community. They aren't working the concession stand because they truly enjoy the thrill of serving nachos. They're doing it FOR the money that is put in those buckets. We allow them exposure to a college crowd and all of the residual snack bar money that it might entail...they serve us dollar hot dogs. This aint advanced math. Furthermore, do you not remember the speech Todge gave when he was hired? His exact words were "I want this to be the metroplex's team." That starts with trying to open a line of give/take with the community.

Had to choose between making it and fighting traffic to get back to DFW for my indoor soccer game or having all of Thursday night for the basketball game...picked the game. Wives are so mean!

Cedric Benson...UT RUNNING BACK....fumbles. Oh yeah, and there's a game going on.
