Nobody who has graduated in the last 10 years really cares much about Sub Hub. It's done and over with.
Not true. Graduated in 2017 and love Sub Hub. Still eat there often, those guys are the best.

SL ain't goin any where...thats crazy talk. Maybe when he beats teams he's suppose to...conference championship....bowl win...small things like these will get you promoted to big time college ball.
Chad Morris was 14-22 at SMU and Arkansas hired him away.
Seth Littrell is 21-16 right now.

The 2013 HOD team was built by Todd Dodge. I can't believe more people are jumping on the fact that he mentioned Mean Joe as a possible replacement for Seth Littrell.

If anyone has 2 extra tickets they would like to get rid of for free I would appreciate it greatly!

I knew it was a sarcastic post, but it brings up a point. Some idiots will be saying he's still rebuilding going into his 5th year. The same idiots will be saying that McCarney is rebuilding going into his 7th year sitting at a 34-40 record at North Texas. I just hope they find a guy, find him fast, and give him all the reps in the fall, all of them. Because the outcome of this season lies fully on McCarneys shoulders.
So your coaching advice would be to go into a season with backups who have gotten no reps in the fall, none of them?

Hopefully the coaching staff will prove it. We are 6-6 with Greer or McNulty, if one of them win the job they will also prove it. North Texas very well may be 6-6 with DW, but I bet not. There is not enough statistical data on either 3 to prove anything right now, but 6-6 if Greer or McNulty is named the starter. We will lose every game we are "suppose" to lose. You will see.
I just don't see how you can make proclamations like this. You say that there is not enough statistical data on any of the 3 QBs to prove anything right now, and in the next sentence you say we will go 6-6 if Greer or McNulty are given the starting job. I understand that we haven't had a real athletic dual threat QB in our recent history and it would be really exciting if we had one. So I'm just wondering if that is what is fueling your confidence in DW or do you know something more that the rest of us don't? And HS game highlights don't count, most average to above average HS players can come up with enough good plays in a season to put a highlight tape together.

Really? Shows you what I know about SMU football broadcasts. I shoulda checked with Emmitt first ;-).
Is he in the booth now or not involved at all?
Not involved with SMU at all anymore. Just Shake Joint, Diamond Talk, and 10-3 Tickers I believe

Stay away from Dallas. Make Denton the Saturday destination, not Dallas. We have a great stadium, great town, great potential atmosphere. If a Buffalo Wild Wings or a legitimate Grill/bar could buyout the Ponchos and set up shop. Having a good eating/drinking destination in walking distance would be a very good start.
I agree with this except for the BWW thing. Something unique to Denton should replace that dump. Not a large chain establishment. Preferably an establishment that John Williams is a part of in some form or fashion.

There is no comparison - Akina is better than either invidually, or in tandem. Stanford got a great coach. Congrats to them.
Right, which is the reason I was wondering why you would tell somebody to compare them by listing the number of NFL players they have coached. That's like me telling someone to list the NFL players coached by McCarney and compare that to the NFL players coached by the new cornerbacks coach we hired.

Yes. I'm sure we would have been only ten spots below Texas if we were facing Big 12 opponents week in and week out as well.
Instead of gettings into whether or not C-USun Belt competition is stronger than Big 12 competition, though, just list for me the DBs in the NFL coached by Akina in college; then, list for me the DBs in the NFL coached by the two fella who just left here.
Not sure how you can compare a guy who has been a D-1 coach at larger schools since 1982 to the two guys that just left. Noah Joseph has been a D-1 coach since 2003 and his two previous schools were Eastern Illinois and Montana State. And Ryan Walters has been a D-1 coach since 2011.

I thought Tech and Kliff Kingsbury were both huge failures who ran off their good QBs and won't be able to get any good players to come play in Lubbock?

I totally understand constantly reminding everyone "in house" of how far we've come and how we can never go back. Mac reminding RV in private conversation is absolutely necessary. But constantly reminding the general public that any excitement they feel over our recent success should be tempered by memories of being destitute? The Ford motor company has never run an F150 commercial that ended with "built Ford tough...unlike the Pinto".
And let's be honest...barring a tornado, massive flood or the rapture, Apogee will never be Fouts. No need to visit the past for fear of returning there.
Personally, I makes me more excited every time he mentions the desolate state this program was in when he arrived. Maybe I'm in the minority but I don't see it as him trying to temper our current excitement level at all. For me it is the opposite of tempering the excitement. It reminds me of how far this program has come in such a short time, and then my football pants get excited thinking about how much farther the program can go in the very near future.

Williams Stadium when there were stands in the end zone and North Garland would smack around south garland!!!
GO MEAN GREEN!!!
Man I have always felt bad for you guys (North and South), and all of the other GISD schools for that matter. We were the only school in that district who had a real home stadium where our locker rooms and fieldhouse were located and practices were held. Then again, we were also the only school in the district with the state championships so I guess it kinda makes sense. Williams Stadium might not be as fancy as some in the area but they did recently install a new vidja board and it will always be the HS stadium of choice for this particular Garland Owl

They are both buttclowns. Their best coach was Spike Dykes because he understood that there are three phases to football - offense, defense, and special teams.
In all the years since Spike Dykes, Tech has shared one Division title, never played in a Big 12 Championship game or shared the actual Big 12 title, nor have they been to a BCS bowl.
All Mike Leach does is run off with the mouth. He'll never be a champion. No team he ever coaches will be a champion. The same will hold true for Kliff Kingsbury until he decides defense is as important, if not moreso, than offense.
The big dog in Texas is Texas. Spike Dykes was 7-7 in 14 years against Texas. In the 14 season since he retired, Tech is 2-12 against Texas with their Playstation head coaches.
Hell, even during Texas' down cycle from 2010-13 Tech was 0-4 against them. That includes the 41-16 mudhole stomping Texas put on them this past season when their defense leaked like a sieve to the degree that they ditched their DC after a couple of games.
Sorry. I call a spade a spade. The current Texas Tech coach and Mike Leach both are nothing. They coach 1/3rd of a football game because they are arrogant and stupid.
In honor of Leach and Kingsbury, Under Armor should make special clown uniforms for Texas Tech to wear for their home games, complete with big red noses and oversized shoes.
Leach, Kingsbury, and Texas Tech, in general, are clowny. They deserve every bit of scorn and derision they attract as a reulst of those two buttboogers, Leach and Kingsbury.
And, I'll say more!
Here I am, saying more! As promised.
All of this offensive genius throwing up a 2-12 record against Texas since Spike Dykes left. That stupid, country redneck Dykes - so stupid that he relied on a run game and stiff defense - went 7-7 against the Longhorns.
And, Spike did actually share a conference title, not just a division title.
So, all this talk of Leach and Kingsbury being offensive geniuses...balderdash! They are nothing but a freakshow: you look at it for a few mintues, then walk on down to the midway to let your kids ride the rides while you munch on corndogs and bags of salted peanut and whatnot.
Spike Dykes’ record during his 14 years at Tech: 82-67
Mike Leach’s record during his 10 years at Tech: 84-43
According to you, the only metric for comparing these two is their record against the horns.
Dykes went 7-7 against a program that was 95-68 during his time at Tech
Leach went 2-7 against a program that was 128-27 during his time at Tech. Which included the upset of the then #1 ranked mighty horns.
I’m not sure why you mentioned 2010-2013 when Leach wasn’t at Tech and Kingsbury was only there for the most recent year in which he was coaching a team made up of mostly players brought in by the failed (or as you might say stinky boogerbutt dumbhead stupidface) Tommy Tuberville.
I’ll agree that Leach has yet to field a good defense. However, the fact that his defenses have been so bad only further proves how good his offenses have been. In case you forgot, he had a winning season in each of the 10 seasons he was at Tech.
So in conclusion, you’re wrong. Because sports.

What fact am I changing: Leach has no national titles or Leach has no conference titles? Oh, he shared one three ways? Wow. What dominance. In a decade, he shared, three ways, one conference title. He really has the defensive coordinators of the college football world baffooned.
Didn't see any statements of dominance from anyone. However, you did call a guy who (during his tenure in Lubbock) was one of sixteen active coaches to have never had a losing (or a .500) season and one of nine out of that group with at least 5 seasons coached a buttclown. His offense led the NCAA in passing yardage four years in a row so it would seem more than a few defensive coordinators were baffooned by said buttclown. And the other guy you claimed was nothing but an ass and a buttclown helped him set those offensive records as a player, and went 8-5 in his first season as a HC at 34 years old while upsetting the #14 team in the country by two touchdowns in their bowl game. So I'm going to assume that you have some type of personal hate towards Leach/Kingsbury and/or Tech in general, because otherwise your post would make absolutely no sense at all.

Some great sports talk here. Kingsbury only beat the #14 team in the country by two touchdowns in a bowl game in his first year as a head coach. He'll never be successful! He's too young and he talks and dresses different than the other head coaches. They should have kept that guy who ripped the headset off a GA during a game and left those recruits at a restaurant like a guy on a bad blind date, that's how a real big time head coach handles his business!

Big 12.
Can't go to UT
Same with Mayfield at OU
Kliff has run off his top 2 QB's after being herald as a players coach and former QB
Correction, Kliff started the best QB (Webb) in the bowl game upset of ASU and the other 2 got butt hurt and quit.

lots of factors.
beer sales may increase attendance by something like 500 people, and that's being generous.
Sorry folks, but there's no silver bullet for increasing attendance to the point of a necessary Apogee expansion. The closest thing to one is winning, and we've only just begun to do that.
About 500 is what I was thinking as well. That's $7500-10,000 in ticket sales (@15-20 bucks each) if they're buying cheap seats and $3500 in beer sales (@7 bucks each) if each of those 500 only purchases 1 beer. Now maybe those factors cost more than that amount, which in my opinion is low because I'm sure more than one beer per person will be purchased. However, as I said before, I am just thinking of putting more butts in seats and if it could put 500 more butts in seats and not be a loss of money, then I view it as a good because it would be 500 more than we would have otherwise.

I just can't believe that this really matters to so many. I enjoyed the HOD Bowl and refuse to fork over ridiculous amounts of money for aluminum bottled beer. It makes no difference to me. I am there to watch the game not drink overpriced beer. Enjoy your tailgate party, watch the game and post game tailgate while the traffic clears.
Of course, everybody on this board (myself included) will be at every game that we possibly can whether there is beer for sale or not. Hell, even when there is beer for sale I will probably still utilize a flask. However, if we are talking about trying to pack the stajium I think that having beer for sale will entice the folks who don't want to get there early and tailgate in order to drink. I don't think this would entice anybody to drive from outside Denton to see a game just because Apogee starts selling beer. I'm talking about people who are in Denton but are somewhat indifferent to Mean Green football. I'm also talking about tailgaters who are recent alums or older students who might have gone to a few games at Fouts because they could go out at halftime time to refuel and come back in which is not allowed at Apogee. And while this might sound like I'm just trying to fill the stajium with out of control drunks, consider the way that tailgaters who want to mix alcohol with Mean Green football and can't afford club level seats. They spend a few hours outside of Apogee fortifying themselves with enough alcohol to last 3+ hours (which is almost always too much) and end up appearing belligerent by kickoff. Again, I think this is just another selling point for those who don't care as much about the football game as we do.

So because we sell over priced beer in the stadium, more people will come? I don't think that beer sales are as much the holy grail of attendance that you do.
I agree that beer at sporting events is way overpriced. That being said, have you ever attended a sporting event where the price of the beer was deterring the majority of people from purchasing it? Not to mention one of the groups we are trying to bring in the stadium are the folks who tailgate but don't attend. I believe that group would have no problem paying for overpriced beer because they are already too drunk to care.

Here's the problem, as I see, for this kid:
(1) There are more quarterbacks competing for the starting job at OU than at Tech, and
(2) There are more quarterbacks competing for the starting job at OU than at Tech.
He should come here to UNT. We've got an open competition as well. The none of the competitors has much game experience. You gotta admit, Tech did kind of tank after he was injured. And, Kingsbury looks like he's going to be one of those coaches who rotates QBs every game.
I think he'd do well here. The C-USun Belt competition wouldn't be overly tough on him. The five games he started and won: SMU, SFA, TCU, Texas State, Kansas. C-USun Belt 2014 isn't going to be much tougher than that.
I know OU's Knight QB had a good game against Alabama. But, he wasn't great earlier in the season and was benched. The Bell kid wasn't great either. Maybe that's what he's thinking. But, I don't see how winning the OU job is easier than winning the Tech job.
Bell has been at OU five years now, Knight three. So, how he thinks he'll walk in there and learn the playbook enough to unseed those two, although admittedly shaky, players is beyond me...but, I don't have a 19 year old kid brain.
He'd have a better time of it here. He throws and runs well, like many here think is 110% necessary. And, the in-state tuition as a walk-on would be cheaper. But...if the kid's from Lake Travis, I doubt money is an issue; and, so that's probably another reason OU is even in the picture - his parents can afford to have him walk on out of state.
I am glad he didn't come here but even if he had I don't know that he would have won the starting job here. He was an average passer who tried to force the ball to Amaro no matter how many defenders were covering him and he almost always stared down the receiver he wanted to throw to from the snap of the ball. He was definitely was not a good runner. He ran like he thought he was Johnny Football, but was far slower and much less athletic. The only reason Tech seemed to fall off after he got injured was the fact that their schedule got significantly tougher. They would have lost those games with him healthy. Again, Kliff Kingsbury may not ever field a decent defense, but he knows how to evaluate quarterbacks and he didn't think this kid was worthy of a scholarship yet.

I think he's overestimating his skills. He could probably get a scholarship somewhere but he's barking up the wrong tree at OU. They have a QB. Several actually. I hope he enjoys being irrelevant on the scout team after burning some eligibility while paying out of state tuition.
Absolutely. The other two quarterbacks had caught up to him by the time he came back from injury. He felt entitled. Call me crazy, but I trust Kingsbury's evaluation of QB talent a lot more than Baker Mayfield and if he was as good as he thought he was Kliff would've got him a scholarship already. Kliff will not have trouble getting quarterbacks to come to Lubbock, Mayfield will have trouble getting reps in Norman and definitely a scholarship. Although it did take them a while to realize that Knight was much better than Bell so who knows.
