Right. I just don't want what appears to be an already taxed Athletic Department to have to involve themseleves in the GB's/Cheerleaders/Talons/Greek/etc... responsibilities, diverting them from their own responsibilities.

Is this the job of the AD? Seems like this would be a responsibility of the Cheerleaders...

Wow! This should help them in big 12 play.

I think the K-State game will tell us a lot about where this season goes. Win that game, and we should be going to MSG to play some other excellent teams. Once there, anything goes. Creighton is a good test, I expect the game to be close. Would be one I would favor us to win if it were at the Super Pit. St. Louis will be a nice feather-in-the-cap road win. For me, I think the X-factor of the year will be what we get out of Patton. We still haven't seen this guy play with the team. If he's the real deal and can be a significant contributor, then looking at this schedule, we should have around 25-27 wins this year.

You're absolutely right, but I would add another person to care about: the recruit. And as has been mentioned a million times before, coach Snyder built up the Kansas State program by scheduling easier OOC games. So not only does 'Joe Fan' only care about wins, but apparently those same wins can sway recruits as well.

Nice to meet you Tony! Y'alls tailgate is top-notch.

I busted out laughing and clapped when they did the Usain Bolt. I don't think anyone else got it. I enjoyed the show. Too much PA though.

So strange. Usually for these kinds of contests the PA will say, "Make some noise if you like #1!"... "How 'bout #2?!"... "And finally, #3!"... Then whoever got the loudest ovation wins. Instead, goober says: "Vote for the one you like best, #1, 2, or 3!"... Then some in the crowd scream 1, some 2, and some 3 all at the same time. You can't tell what anyone is saying. So strange. Hopefully this contest is remedied before the Troy game.

Yep. I think we'll actually be just fine at C/PF. We should be good at PG for a while as well, assuming Jones doesn't just blow-up and go pro. Now for the slashers and shooters.

Silver, you and I both got what we wanted from the GB!! Big drum break and a Tuba break! Go Green Brigade!

The problem is, the drumline is not the only uber-talented group. I'd like to see the 'bones get 2:44 as well! Where do the highlights end?

TSU had an offensive explosion last weekend against PVA&M. I expect they will show up with something to prove and will give UNT their best shot. I hope our guys are not sleeping on them because they have clearly demonstrated that they can score points. Unfortunately, their defense could not stop PVA&M, and I highly doubt they will stop ours either. I'm watching for an offensive explosion led by Thompson & Chancellor/Bynes, and I think Orr & them D-boys will take it as a challenge to keep this team to 10 points or less. UNT - 41 TSU - 7

Thanks for stopping by, it may surprise you, but I believe the Mean Green can win this game. I'm not the only one... and we're not crazy. I can't wait to watch this game. McDermott VS Mitchell will bring scouts galore into your arena that night. I'm also excited to see how our new big transfer, Coleman, matches up against your big Venezuelan. The Mean Green returns all impact players from last year and brought in some highly touted transfers/freshmen. The only wild-card is our new coaching staff, but these guys have major skins on the wall. Do you think the loss of Young will hurt you guys? Or, do you think there's a player that can fill his void? I hope the frustration with scheduling this game isn't compounded when you guys actually lose the game. EDIT: I know you guys are hoping for big things from Austin Chatman. He hoops regularly with our guys when back home in Dallas/Ft.Worth. Our guys know him very well. He's a very nice player. Don't know much about Groselle...

Pollard coming all the way down from Chicago? Awesome! Hope he gets to spend plenty of time with T-Mitch, and maybe hit the floor at the rec for a pick-up game to see how good we are.

I'll just say I hope he's better at jumping fences when dogs are attacking him...

Gotta think that if DT has a breakout year, it should 100% be him. He's already a team captain.

Chico has to be on cloud 9 with this news. He is a good enough coach to get the most out of Thompson, but I gotta think he's ecstatic that he now has a legit dual-threat QB to work with. His offense was VERY good with Riley at the helm. I think the running QB is more his style.

Thank you for reading this board Brett. You're like our bionic arm. I knew you'd get to the bottom of this. We have strength in numbers, but you sir, are our muscle.

True, but a win VS St. Joes opens the eyes of the east coast media. I guess a win over Creighton would open up some eyes, maybe more, but I think it will be a little harder.

Who is this guy? If he's officially enrolled and will be "on the field today", then I anticipate we would hear about it from Vito or even the AD. And, according to Berglund's FB page, he is excited about playing for the Artichokes.

Next time we play LSU, it's going to be hurricane Mean Green.

Right. Watching the type of drill they do is reminiscent of high school, for sure. I believe the reigns are extremely tight on them and they could do so much more in the entertainment department, and probably would like to. But, as has been explained by KalebSchuman before, the GB is used as a lab for these students. It is part of their curriculum. It's the antithesis of the Rice MOB, which is all volunteer. The MOB is there specifically to act a fool and entertain. The GB is there partly to entertain, but mostly for academic credit.

I would love to have been there for that. I wish this type of thing would happen now-days. Instead, I think most opposing bands understand what would happen to them (as you described) if they decided to challenge. That, and most of our opponents don't travel their bands, so we don't have the chance anyway.

Does the name "Reggie Bush" ring any bells for you?

This would surely be murder. I mean like OklahomaSt-VS-SavannahSt-like murder. Now, if it were a dance-off, then the GB may be in trouble.
