Poseidon keeps throwing those hardballs at us. What a bitch.

4 Sun Belt titles? Or was it just 3?

I was like, "Is that Hayden Fry?!?!" No one was paying attention. This program has no excuse to not be competitive, and yet at every opportunity and every knock on the door it seems like a higher power just pisses on us. Pieces fall apart, plans don't go as expected. And I'm emotionally detaching myself until conference and maybe longer. I'm just so exhausted. I can find every reason in the world to continue to be optimistic, and then 3 hours and a game later I'm eating my words. This is not me quitting the game; rather, I'm putting the controller down to watch someone else play. I'll be there every step of the way with my body and money, but for now I can't be the cheerleader. Thanks for the brat, Greek. Nice to meet you MeanMag.

Ah, yes, the "shades of khaki" complaint. Anything else?

PS: I eavesdropped on a DeLoach conversation at the Football Banquet. He wasn't yelling, but I'll be damned if I don't feel like a better person. To Bill *cough* Gary DeLoach!

I expect several things: Casey/Brock to fix their butterfingers. Dodge said he wants Roberson more involved. Continued production from Cam and Mosely Dunbar? HELLO Defense: Royce and Warren D-line progress Special Teams: EVERYTHING BTW, Is Nate Jenkins coming around physically?

well hello. How did I miss your first 21 posts? Good to see you on the board.

This thread tastes better with some sawlt on it.

The stadium is bigger. And it wasn't nearly a sellout.

Funniest, most useless analogy I've heard in decades. DECADES!

gas prices suck

"This "Hangman" thing is fun! Who the f'k came up with this brilliant game?"

Fired when hired...Can you imagine if that had transpired?

John, I am glad I've had the chance to meet you and hear your opinions in person. It's a little bit more to say than what most people here can claim. So I'd like to say to the others in your defense, because IMO this is getting overblown: People, Tasty is not a Dodge hater. I think what he's trying to do here is provide some level perspective in relation to Dickey ball. As much as ya'll hated Dickey and think Dodge is football Jesus, Tasty here wants all of you all to treat them the same. Stop denying that Dodge pulled the reigns on this game, because he clearly did. Calling Dodge out does not mean you hate him, it just means you can see the big picture. I digress... For some reason, we had TTech's number for years. Not just once, but several times. We beat Baylor, we won a few conference titles and then everyone put up with Dickey's mouth. Then a critical class of kids graduated and everything went downhill. Baylor got the best of us, Tulsa put a whipping like no other, etc... It just seemed like the wind got knocked out a what was already a very thin situation. Vito has a new blog up, defending Dodge's decision. I can sympathize with all sides here: the "we played better with less" people, vs. the "this is a building process" I'm not sure how the situations compare, but Jim Harbaugh was hired at the same time and got 4 wins last year at Stanford (SJSU, USC, Arizona, Cal) and is now 1-0 after week 1's victory over Oregon State. And in case you didn't notice, UCLA first year coach Rick Neuheisal - along with you.might.know.him. Norm Chow - just took down the Vols for a 1-0 Bruins coaching record. Just my opinion, but it is getting harder and harder to stand on the "they need at least 3 years" leg. There's definitely value in having your recruits grow into the two deep and knowing the system, but it's becoming deflated in today's college football market. All I can say is Todge needs to start getting the Ws, and hope they keep coming as long as he is here (thanks MeanMag). EDIT: by the beard of Zeus, I have cracked 3K. Somebody get me a couple dogs and an alligator egg. Surely I'm not that boring.

Other coaches got hired the same time as Coach Dodge. How are they doing at their respective institutions? Harbough (sp?)? Wasn't Neuheisal just recently hired at UCLA?

unbelievable

Sounds like Dodge is still figuring out the ropes in college football. Based on what parents had to say before the game, it sounded like he had them really mentally prepared and excited to go in and steal that one. I'm not sure what to make of all this, except this is a freebie he gets for building us long term. He better start winning. And we better not be having this kind of debate year after year.

fo' sho? werd.

Lots of KState fans were shocked when I explained to them our size. rawr.

I'm anxious to see how Buffalo plays out. I don't believe this is the same Bulls team that ranked the in the bottom 5 for years. Turner Gill was a finalist last year for the Nebraska job, and seems to have something rolling up there.

You can't.

Maybe he left one school due to health complications.

Kind of interesting to see that Prince may have patchworked these JUCOs into a lightning-in-a-bottle chance for a helluva secondary. I'll be keeping an eye out on them.

1.00

And if we should expect to put up 45/game, I would hope we have something else to avoid the same chant over and over and over.
