Here's a link to a report in stlouistoday.com saying that Roberts stepped down.

First thing coach Mccarney needs to do is call Coach Chico.
I'm going to reserve my judgement on Dan McCarney until I see a couple of seasons of play, but as far as what he can do right now, I couldn't agree with you more. I hope McCarney's first call will be to Canales, begging him to stay.

That was both the best quarter of football on both sides of the ball that I've seen this team play this year and the most heartbreaking quarter of football I've seen this team play this year. Although the extra point block was brutal, Riley was everything you could ask of him down the stretch. He played within his limits in the throwing game and he kept drives going with his running. Nothing but #upnucks for him from me.

You think too highly of the PAC 10. Once you get past the first 2-3 teams, they're by far the worst conference in the BCS. Washington State @ Western Kentucky would be a nail-biter, and I don't expect UCLA to finish much higher.
Dude. Really?
Out of the 10 teams in the PAC-10, six of them would take anyone in the Sun Belt, home or away. In most recent years and especially this year any Sun Belt team would be dogs to Arizona, Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, Stanford, or USC. Five of those six teams are top 25 teams as of this week. Washington State is pretty bad, but they're not Western Kentucky bad. This year Arizona State would beat nearly anyone in the Sun Belt.
I don't get how people think the PAC-10 is some slack conference. This year, the Big 12 is more slack than the PAC-10.

How about this: Can we at least all agree for that for any amount of money Chuck would be well advised to farm the final report out to someone who does this kind of thing professionally? Whether he got $10,000 or $250,000, this is bad. It's worse at $250,000, but it's still bad at $10,000. The baseline for any public document ought to be something better than what I could produce in one afternoon of Google, Word, and Excel while sitting on my couch in my underwear.
If you're reading this, Chuck, holler at me! I'd knock this out of the park!

I didn't see the other thread on this topic when I posted this one. Please go to http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=55362 for more discussion.

It took the Mean Green three weeks to lose their #1 and #2 QBs. The Houston Cougars lost their #1 and #2 in one game Saturday night.

Case Keenum is done for the season with a torn ACL and his backup, Cotton Turner, is done for the season with a broken collarbone.

I don't think that comparing UNT & Coach Dodge to Stanford & Harbaugh is a fair comparison. Comparing them to Idaho & Akey and especially FIU & Cristobal is entirely fair.

I've posed this question to several Mean Green fans here in North Texas today and the resounding answer is no.

Crushed. That game was decisive. It was a turning point in the Mean Green's season.
It's just not the decisive direction nor the turning-in-the-right direction I thought it could be 24 hours ago.
And the injuries! We're not deep enough to sustain these kinds of injuries and remain competitive.

I expect a big day from Derek Thompson and a bend-but-don't-break performance from Gary DeLoach's defense. Army will run on us, but I don't think they're going to grind us down with the run. We will throw on them.
38 -31 Mean Green for their first win of the season!
Criticism Of Mccarney Hire

The best place to start changing the doubters' minds and shutting the haters up is to win. If we can get back to the kinds of records that we were putting up in 2001-2004 or even surpass them, that's what will change minds and possibly open pocketbooks. Will it change the bottom line for the football program? I have my doubts, but we can at least lose less money by putting a good product on the field that people will want to come see.
No matter which side of the equation you fall on when it comes to the economics of college athletics, it all has to start with winning.
Tossing around tags like "disgruntled intellectual" or "pseudo intellectual" won't change squat. If y'all really think Kevin is a "disgruntled intellectual", you've not been around a college or university in quite a while.
SUMG: Very few college football programs make money. Most operate at a loss or break even. As it is with tax law, the way universities handle their accounting of athletics makes it difficult to pin a precise number to what that loss is or where money comes from in order to balance the ledger. For most schools outside of the six big money BCS conferences, though, football isn't a money maker.
KRAM: You couldn't be more wrong about Kevin. He may have an opinion you disagree with, but he's definitely not narrow minded, nor short sighted, nor disengaged from the community.
