Just curious. Has Shy Pruitt ever made a solo tackle? He's supposed to be the big man in the middle and I never hear his name called. One assist in this game. ?

Maybe we should consider looking for a new OC. You Think? GO ASTROS!!!

TT scheme sounds OK to me! Mediocre programs can suddenly appear on the national map if they can make it work. I say let's start moving in that direction and give it a try. The "Flying Mean Green Eagles" sounds good to me. A high powered pass oriented offense could not only be more beneficial to our program than a nice new stadium, but it could actually RESULT in a nice new stadium. Of course none of this is possible with our current coaching philosophy.

Pure speculation of course, but in his limited playing time, JT just hasn't looked like JT. Could it be that the extra 15-20 lbs. have slowed him down a bit? Has the hammy not healed as well as advertised? Is there some other problem? I don't know, but I sure would like to see the freshman JT make a return appearance.

I agree with that big time. I know that Drew was not supposed to happen, but something should have been done in the offseason.

I guess I have been following a different Mean Green team. At last count mine was 2-3.

Why do you think I mentioned a 3-5 year transition period? That would hopefully involve different coaching and different linemen. Any idiot knows that's not going to happen overnight! Just a nice direction to consider taking in the future.

Speaking of TT and their spread offense, I would LOVE for us to start working in that direction. I wouldn't care if it took a 3-5 year transition period. TT and Boise are the programs that we should emulate. What the hell was Boise when we were conference mates? Nothing special. Now they consistently score points and win games with less than spectacular athletes and a less than beautiful stadium. With the OL that we tend to recruit, this "smash mouth" power game has just got to go. BTW, a beautiful new stadium would be FANTASTIC! But that's not a guarantee that we will win football games. SMU has a very nice little stadium, but what has it gotten them! Not much.

Anyone want to defend our strength and conditioning staff? Other than our complete and total offensive ineptness, I just don't understand how our guys in the trenches can look so damn weak! We look outmanned every game! I am very happy with the win, but the next level for us is a LONG way away. Congrats to the LB's and DB's for a pretty solid game! Without their solid play it would of been a runaway loss. I think I'll spend the last weekend of October down in Big Bend. The media coverage out there is very limited.

Mediocre or not, give DD another year to redeem himself. Among other things, find a couple of coordinators that can coordinate!

I agree completely. Along with relatively weak football schools like Kentucky, Duke, and N. Carolina, who would of ever heard of schools like DePaul, Marquette, Gonzaga, Villanova, Georgetown, St. Johns, etc. if it weren't for B-Ball? Not many. Of course I would like it to happen with both major programs, but you have to take what you can get. I like what I have seen recently with recruiting. Let's hope that we can get a serious follow through.

I want to keep DD for AT LEAST the time being, and I want a change in our offensive scheme. As much as I dislike TT, I would like to emulate them offensively. Let's find someone that can do it! They know how to put points on the scoreboard with a limited amount of talent. They are not exactly filling up the NFL rosters with their former players. With all the speed and talent in the NT area, I think the right OC could get it done. Will DD go for that? I very much doubt it. Just MHO.

Dump RF before we play the punies. Enough said.

Personally, I would like for us to try and become another TT of the Divison 1A offensive world. Regardless of the MeanGreen defensive moniker which most of us love, I would like to see us fly like the EAGLES. Let's recruit, hire, and run an offense that can score a hell of a lot of points. Look what it did for TT and a recently removed form 1AA team like Boise State. It is time to find a way to put us on the national radar screen. The way to do that is to open up the offense and score some points. I know that it won't happen overnight, but I would really like that to be our philosophy of the future. It would AT LEAST give us a fighting chance to win some OOC games. Just MHO, but I truly believe it to be true.

Hey Euless, are you implying that our illustrious OC is just now beginning to recognize that we need to have a little more variation in our offense? About time! Maybe he will even do it right next time! We shall see.

If we can somehow average 20+ points a game we should win a few. If we don't, the rest of the season could be very ugly.

I for one am nowhere near calling for DD's head. He's helped us accomplish way too much in this century for us to get rid of him at this point. If we have two seriously below .500 seasons in a row, then I'll be more than ready to join the dump DD crowd. This season could very well prove to be an anomaly. As far as the rest of the coaching staff is concerned, I'm ready for some changes after this season. IMHO there are a couple of guys on the sideline that are just not pulling their weight. Even if we make it back to the bowl game, I'm ready for some new blood on the sidelines.

Euless, just because your obviously in love with our OC doesn't mean that he can do no wrong. Blast me if you want, but I still say our offense lacks imagination and changes need to be made. If you think that last nights game showed great imagination, then you either didn't see the game or you lack imagination yourself. I'll give credit where credit is due. You can keep your eight bucks. I'm sure you need it.

Based on our passing accuracy, I think we would be much better off if everyone went SHORT. Get the ball to a playmaker out in the flat and see if they can make something happen.

The third thing that Dickey apparently doesn't control is his offensive coordinator. You would think that two former quarterbacks could show a little more imagination. It's time for a change.

I was at the game in the NE corner of the endzone and Baylor was the dominant team. Hard to believe, but they were clearly the better team from start to finish. The scoreboard would of probably refelected that if it were not for the turnovers and some bad coaching decisions. Why not go for a field goal opportunity with 58 seconds left and the ball around your own 40? Bad decision for a road team that was moving the ball pretty well all day long.

Coming from a family with a bunch of attorneys who constantly talk about the SC situation, I just wanted to congratulate you and yours! Do you think that she can work on getting Fouts ruled unconstitutional and get us a replacement in the near term?

So Blount played both center and tight end for four years. Imagine that.

I was in Conroe during the KState fiasco and the game AGAIN was not on the air. I give up!
