It's a toss up for me between her and the Auburn girl, but Sun Belt love gives her my vote.

Yes, but this is not the standard by which Dickey will judge his QB's. Technically Danny Meager didn't throw a single interception or get sacked even once in the UT game so he's in the lead right now.

And the "point" is off base. These teams may get yards against good teams but they wouldn't sniff the line of scrimmage against elite teams. Comparing performances against Nebraska, Penn State, and Tech to Texas is like saying somebody scored on the Colts so we should score on the Bears or Panthers.

Please tell me, aside from Ohio State, who we would have lost to this badly....anyone? No, not Texas Tech, not aTm, not Baylor, not anyone in the Big XII. None of them will touch UT this year. None of them. And to say that UT is not the same team without Vince Young, you are exactly right. They're still a team filled with NFL caliber talent led by a quarterback who was better than anyone we have THE DAY HE WALKED ONTO CAMPUS. We weren't facing some cast off yesterday, we were facing blue chip talent backed up by blue chip talent. All I'm saying is my wishes when we walked out of memorial stadium two years ago were: 1)Show improvement the next time we're here. 2)Show some sort of creativity and adaptation in the game plan 3)A team that played with fire from the 1st through 4th quarters I saw that. Apparently most everone else in the world simply saw 56-7.

I wanted to comment on this as well. UT's team speed accounted for a lot of our woes yesterday. And I'm not sure what play you call when the defense is parked in your backfield...perhaps someone more enlightened than I can explain it.

WOODY, WOODY, WOODY, WOODY

I'll take your handle to reflect not only your level of confidence in what you say but also your competency to analyze college football.

I know it would be easier to come on here after a looooong drive home and slam DD because we lost by a large margin. It would be easy to slam the play calling and say that Dickey wasn't creative enough. I'd be lying if I did either though. We threw the ball in this game and not just when it was a desperation heave. We took shots downfield and were oh so close to connecting on them. I saw a defense that blitzed (how someone didn't see that I'm not sure), ran hard to the ball and didn't back down. Yes, there were missed tackles. Yes, they wore down late. Tackling is correctable and NOBODY that we face for the rest of the year will have UT's size across the line or their pedigree at the skill positions. And if you think we didn't look waaay better this year than last time you're insane. I'd like to be the first, hopefully not the last, to say "good job" to coach Dickey. He may do something to draw my ire later in the season but he called a game plan that wasn't the same "roll over and collect the check" strategy I've seen before. Let's face it folks, Texas' speed and physicality will make a lot of teams look bad when they blitz or blow up plays. In my mind, bottom line is that our boys have nothing to hang their heads over and, if we play like we did today, SMU has got a fight on their hands!

According to Andy Hogue (what a tool): Yep, the talons usually are found somewhere under the wings.

Mike Ditka. He's so tough that when he just looks at one Weebles wobble AND they fall down...out of fear.

When did we all become moms and dads? And 300 or 400...talk about pulling out the "woe is me" routine early.

I heard that at the wake for the squirrel they would be providing kool-aid and matching tennis shoes.

This to me is a circular argument. I've always believed, and preached to anyone who would listen from the time I was a student 'til today, that if you want a better product on the field you've got to put a better product in the stands. If our boys look up in the stands and see that few of us have made the trip (the short trip) to Austin it sends a message. It says "we don't believe you can win." If we don't believe they can win then why should they? On the flip side, if they look up there and see thousands of Mean Green faithful it says to them "we are behind you 100% and we believe."

Hey, beef stuffed burritos are pretty good!

Bump bump bump

Bump

So the "stud" kicker we signed isn't starting? And I can help Dickey figure out J-Quinn's role in the UT game...none. Play him against SMU at 100%

Lemme see if I follow your logic. Because Texas was winning more games than NT during those years then we should look at things through our standards? Discounting completely the wealth of talent those guys were surrounded by, the vast amounts of money spent on recruting and the expectations that a team like a UT should have that a team like NT should never be saddled with we are to look at things through a NT perspective? Hmmm. Seems to me that, given their resources and where they stand in the food chain of NCAA football, Big Dawg is right in saying they could have achieved more. Furthermore, are you saying that Texas "built a National Championship team" through rotating quarterbacks? Could it not have more to do with the same embarrasment of recruiting dollars, top flight facilities and one Vincent Young (who by the way was the starter from game 1 through the Rose Bowl)? I doubt very seriously that a two-headed quarterback system was the "building block" of their ascent through the ranks of college football.

I have a friend (Arkansas alum) who I've been bugging about coming to see NT play for a while now. He agreed to come the weekend of the SMU game. Now, here's the question. Does anyone have SMU tickets that they are not going to use and would be willing to part with them for a cheap price? I told him I'd try to secure tickets for he and his two sons so I'd like to not buy three if I don't have to. If push comes to shove I may tell him "tough luck" and he'll have to buy them but I'd like to extend the gesture to a guy who may get a taste and then come back for more....it's like selling drugs.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm a little sad. Now all of the members of the ASPS won't have the excuse of "we're busy protecting a squirrel" to offer up when challenged on their lack of social interaction outside of the group.

I'm going and here is my "why?" First off, Zeke won a trip down on the bus and he's letting me tag along. More importantly, though, I know the result may not be pretty but I want the players to look up in the stands as they exit the tunnel and throughout the game and see that as many of us as possible are there. That we believe in them...if not their coaches.

UT- 54 NT- 0 I don't know why everyone predicts that we will score. We have never shown anything other than the same ol' vanilla offense and UT's D-line and linebackers will eat that alive. And which of our QB's gives you faith that a passing game against them is possible?

It takes one hour per beer to metabolize so four hours of watching football (four hours? long game) would still leave you with two beers in the system by your count. And what happened to personal responsibility? Shouldn't we ask people to make decent decisions. And to add to this, it is heavily emphasized to those who serve alchol not to serve to an intoxicated individual.

Straight out of the shoot I got a call of a loud noise disturbance. I get there and find, no kidding, 500 kids in the courtyard to these four ajoined condos. Seems one of the SMU kids' daddies bought all four condos and was renting out the other three to other SMU kids. I warned them that I was gonna tow all of their cars and start checking ID's so they moved their vehicles and turned down the music. I though problem solved b/c to be at SMU you have to be real smart, right? No! I had to come back twice more...and mind you this is with other off-duty DPD officers out there for crowd control and I know they warned them...so I wrote one of the residents a disorderly conduct citation. His comment was "You can't write me a ticket! My daddy owns these condos and he's a lawyer." My reply, "Good, then daddy can represent you in court and pay the fine." As I'm leaving I find an 18 year old kid face down in his own vomit on the street. His explanation for his present predicament was "I'm rushing a fraternity and they made me drink. I don't have any friends here and I wanted them to like me." I then spent the second half of the night sitting with a felony DWI suspect at Baylor hospital. Seems he was pulled over when two little kids (not his kids) were waving at passing cars and screaming because of his erratic driving. The kids jumped out of the car when he slowed down enough, which is good thing because he crashed into a retaining wall. He wasn't much a challenge to guard because his BAC was 0.46!!! Moral of my PMG post? Football season will soon be upon us and let's watch ourselves with the alcohol...myself included.

Help me understand the logic. The only reason I can come up with for why you shouldn't sell beer in the stadium is that someone might get drunk and be unruly. Instead, you allow people to drink all day long so they can enter the stadium already drunk? And heaven forbid we sell beer inside so that someone who is able to actually check ID's can distribute it. And as to beer bringing the people outside into the stadium...how many of the people who are out in the parking lot are still out there because they are minors and can continue to drink?
