New Orleans Bowl was also in the middle of the week. Not exactly convenient for Alumni to take off work.

Looks like UNT is the only Sun Belt school that can actually get fans to bowl games.

With Dodge as coach, I am seriously considering attending a game or two. Especially since I live 30 minutes away. Should be some exciting games.

BTW Congrats on Todd Dodge. This hire should create some buzz in the DFW area.

Glad you are so interested in our coaching search. BTW here are some facts to dispute your allegations: Will Mushchamp is Defensive Coordinator at Auburn. He has removed himself from the running. College: University of Georgia (1994); Auburn University (1996) COACHING EXPERIENCE 1995-96- Auburn (Graduate Assistant) 1998- West Georgia (Secondary) 1999- Eastern Kentucky (Secondary) 2000- Valdosta State (Defensive Coordinator) 2001-04- LSU (Linebackers/Defensive Coordinator) 2005- Miami Dolphins (Assistant Head Coach for Defense) 2006- Auburn (Defensive Coordinator) Todd Monken was on the LSU national championship team. He is responsible for recruiting Ryan Moats from Dallas (one of our best running backs in recent years). He also has his national championship ring, which cannot hurt. 1989-90 Grand Valley State (assistant coach) 1991-92 Notre Dame (graduate assistant) 1993-99 Eastern Michigan (defensive backs, 1993; wide receivers, punt return unit, 1994-97; offensive coordinator, quarterbacks, 1998-99) 2000-01 Louisiana Tech (running backs/recruiting coordinator, 2000; wide receivers, 2001) 2002-04 Oklahoma State (pass game coordinator, wide receivers) 2005 LSU (passing game coordinator/wide receivers) Chris Hatcher is not some "spare" coach. "Hatcher became the university's winningest football coach when he won his 41st game during the 2003 season. His six-year record of 68-10 is a remarkable .870 winning percentage, the highest in the nation at any level. His second and third teams posted back-to-back undefeated regular seasons, a winning streak that reached 35 in a row, a Gulf South Conference record, before being broken during the 2003 season. Hatcher has received numerous coach-of-the-year honors at conference, regional and national levels, and his teams have won numerous national statistical awards. Hatcher and Valdosta State went from best to perfect in the GSC over the course of the next two seasons, winning all 18 conference games, while tallying a 12-1 record in 2001 and a 14-1 mark in 2002, which included the school's first ever appearance in the Division II national championship game. The 2003 season again saw Valdosta State advance to the Division II playoffs, finishing the year 10-2 and second in the GSC with an 8-1 mark. The 2003 team also achieved the school's first-ever national No. 1 ranking in the second week of the year. Hatcher led his Blazer squad to the ultimate goal in 2004 when Valdosta State completed a 14-1 season with a 36-31 victory over Pittsburgh State in the Division II national title game. The season saw the Blazers win their fourth Gulf South Conference title in five years, with the only blemish on the year being a 24-22 defeat at the hands of Albany State in the season opener."
