    You started in every game for 4 years????  Ok years and position we need to fact check.  I call BS

    We used to call guys like you telephone tough guys back in the day. I am not sure what it is called now. However it is never a good idea to run your mouth, or keyboard in this case. There are many former players on the thread. Stick around awhile and you will learn who they are and appreciate their insight. We all appreciate the passion for the team/school just remember that while we all can disagree we are all green.

    I don't know about his coaching ability, must be good if he was a offensive co. at Alabama. But I have not seen much positive things about Lane Kiffen on comment threads in news articles on this guy. 

    He has a hot wife. Does that count as a positive? Check that, they are divorced. Guess I can't think of a positive now!

    Agreed. 

     

    Navy? Shoot, compared to SMU that's a good loss. 

    I should have been more clear; Navy was the start of the slide. I believe if Houston would have pulled off that game they would have not have come out so flat against SMU. It is not shocking that SMU came to play Houston since they are old SWC teams. I still think the Big 12 was in play for Houston at that time and SMU wasn't even in the running. Regardless, Houston punched Louisville in the mouth. Congrats to the Cougars.

  4. This is sad, troubling, and insensitive. However I believe this type of "behavior" isn't isolated to SMU... Thank goodness my children are young. I am not sure I want to pay to subject them to the lunacy that is professed by academia and associated out of touch administrators on campuses across this nation. Hopefully there are some good places left. However they don't make the news...

    Strange days brothers. Strange days.

  5. WKU has a nice stadium, hopefully it is a good game day experience as well. I played soccer there in 1991 at their old facility that had only bleachers on one side of the stadium (soccer and football shared the same stadium just like at fouts). I had the strangest sight at the game that day in late October. I am pretty sure I witnessed a guy get "serviced" by a girl in the uppermost section of the stadium. Like I said, it was a large one sided stadium, but I guess the game was boring because they took the opportunity to take advantage of a semi-private moment, under a strategically placed blanket, at the very top of the bleachers. Oh well, this wasn't really associated with traveling to Bowling Green for the game, but I know that guy had fun at the game I was at!

    A .25 success rate.. yeah.. that's something to be proud of. 

    When you win you act like you have been there before. It is the class thing to do. Just like welcoming the opposing team to your stadium and wishing them luck the rest of the season, albeit next game . I have seen this type of behavior displayed numerous times at Apogee. Either the guys who troll our boards have no class or are too new to football to understand that respect for your opponents is paramount and speaks volumes as to the character of you specifically and possibly your fan base.

    As to the fan who experienced profanity in the stands I can only say that is a risk of attending a football game. I have kids and have seen/heard profanity in the stands. I have also been the guy with a group of guys who if our wives, mothers, and/or co-workers would have heard what we were talking/screaming about than I would have been embarrassed come Monday am. Football is a violent and emotional game. If you don't want to hear the occasional F Bomb than enjoy the game at home.

    For my money I like a little back and forth with the opposing fans. As long as it doesn't turn violent and mutual respect can be expressed after than game on.

    I will be in the stands for the La Tech game. I will apologize in advance for anything I let slip...

    Alright. Dome sucked, san antonio sucks, utsa sucks, food sucks, acoustics suck, team was AMAZING and would have won by 10 touchdowns except dome sucks, officiating sucks, utsa is dirty, utsa cheats, sound system is terrible, Fine is Johnny Unitas and Wilson is Walter Payton. I will say, that was a BAD ASS on side kick. I never saw that before and is a fabulously designed play. Oh yeah, utsa coaches, cheerleaders, public transportation and news coverage too. 

    You are a fan of one team or a troll. Pick one!

    He was here prior to the formation of the 1995 Woman's program. The real question is, why would he leave? He's built a very solid program from the ground up and has job security. That isn't something hat comes around often these days. 

    John is staying, at least until the Lady Mean Green get a National Championship!!!!!

  9. They were bowl eligible and were not selected to play in one the same year they found out that the school was pulling the plug on football. Bad year for the Blazers. I wish them luck in their rebuilding. Kind of hard to un-ring the bell. They basically self imposed the death penalty on the squad!

    I asked a West Point graduate  why Navy and Air Force are able to field competitive teams while Army has not. His answer was that our protracted wars in the middle east has deterred some athletics who otherwise might attend. Personally, I had never considered that.

    Army has different height and weight standards. It is accurate, however not that different...

    That was the reason that my West Point buddy gave me. Regardless of the reason, Army just doesn't get the athletes that the other service academies get. As a non-West Point former Officer I liked to chide my Hudson High buddies about the team, specifically the parity between Navy and Air Force, but with the streak that Navy has going I just keep my mouth shut. I had never considered the prolonged conflict(s) as a reason for the decline in the on field talent. I guess it makes as much sense as any reason. Regardless, I wish all service academies success. Not just because I am a veteran, but because I am an American.

    I think the service academies struggle with the idea of being in a conference because, unlike most schools, putting together a good schedule is not as difficult for them.  They are very much desired as an opponent.  With that said if they are not in a conference what championships can they aspire to win?  Its not like they have a shot at the NC.  

    Army plays for tradition and the hope that one day they can beat Navy again. If you happen to know any of their alumni they would take a one win season if they could just break the strangle hold that Navy has going.

    Playing service academies is great for our team. I doubt that Army will join our conference but I would welcome the opportunity should it arise.

    Not sure we want Navy though. The 2007 game vs Navy still hurts!

    when sitting in the stands it is important to remember you aren't the kid's daddy, you aren't his coach, you aren't his teacher, you aren't his boss. You have zero responsibility or right to provide lessons on smiling, the appropriate amount of fun to have in life, the appropriate amount of chuckles, or when to dance or celebrate

    I believe it is possible to win and have fun. And lose and have fun (a necessarily less amount than the winning combo). 

    When the University asks you for money I believe you get a say. However, how it is delivered will depend on its effectiveness.

    I'm getting killed on my response to this stupid squirrel.  What's so great about it and how does a white squirrel fit into UNTs historical past? I don't get it.  Is the squirrel supposed to distract a kicker?  I would much rather see the "eyes of the Eagle" on that screen............glaring, blinking........daring the FG kicker.

    Does it work? Is Apogee a hard building to kick in? I don't think so. Colleges have many quirky and cool traditions. I don't think the squirrel fits in the cool/effective category.

    We are a music school, I would like to see the assembled fans sing "Come back to Texas" by bowling for soup, a band who earned its chops in Denton, before the start of the 4th quarter. Or some other Texas based song that links to Denton. Similar to UVW and Colorado singing John Denver songs. It is just a thought.

    We are known for our music, I would like to weave it into the game time experience a bit more. However I don't think that will distract opposing kickers any either...
