You are representing NT this week, Brandon?

Unfortunately, couldn't foot the hotel bill and food/beverage bill once we got back from vacation. I'm scheduling it for next summer for sure.

I've got the UNT representation. Ran into Brandon Jackson here too.

UNT's got a great presence here. Lots of energy. Sat next to Brandin Byrd at the Sonny Dykes section. Ran into Giovanni Vizza as well.

Can't say enough good things about UTSA's Frank Wilson. He's going to do big things.

Why? A strong conference raises all ships. If you have 4 really good teams in conference UNT beats, that's only going to help them move up. By the way, it looks like the UH AD met with PAC 12 officials (Houston Chronicle). No word on the discussion content, but I can guess.

People said the same about Dodge and Mac.

Had Dodge brought in some college assistants and not an entire HS staff (almost) he'd still be here making serious $.

Brother,

Coordinators don't send the FG unit in on 4th & 1, call a TO, bring the offense out, call another TO & send the FG unit back out, only to have it blocked & returned for a TD because no one knew what the heck was going on.

i saw it with my own eyes.

he needed to climb the ladder under some other great coaches.  QB coach, OC, then HC.  Then maybe he'd do well.

I hear you, and I don't disagree.

Agree.

Hard to believe this as bad as things were for us to watch those four years,...but in Dodge' last two years his team's lost 10 games by 8 points or less.

In '09 alone.....he lost 5 games by 4 points or less,...and 6 games by 7 points or less.

It wasn't so much the drug testing as it was using University email to notify the president about it.

I really don't think any other hc in the nation would be naive enough to test the whole team.  I think that was one of reasons of that complete disaster at Rice the following week.

Dodge make two horrible rookie mistakes, the one you identified and the decision to drug test the entire team.  Both approved by RV.   

And our so-called experienced athletic director allowed both to happen.

i saw it with my own eyes..

Actually.....the kick was blocked and recovered by Army at their 38 yard line.  Then the very next play they busted it 55 yards to the North Texas 7...and punched it in two plays later with 1:43 to play in the game.

For me,...while sitting on a 13-10 lead....the MOST sickening part of that series was the 3rd and 1 at the Army 12 yard line with 3:06 to go.

Two plays earlier with the clock running we had just handed it of to Dunbar...Twice.  

Once for 3 yards.....and another for 6.  Now it's 3rd and 1 at the Army 12 with 3:20 to go and counting down.  

Dunbar had just got us 9 yards in two plays on the ground...proving to me that Army couldn't stop him and was just about done.

But what does the coach call?  A dumbass roll out by the son that results in a 4 yard loss....because the coach is so infatuated with the forward pass that he forgets he has one of the nation's best running backs dominating the game at that point and mistakingly fails to take advantage of game situation and the advantage afforded to him.  In the very least....as soon as Dunbar is tackled on the 2nd and 7 to the 12 he should have gone right back under center and quick snapped for short yardage and put the game away.  But as Dodge had proven the two previous years time and time again....he refused to use an under center play for any situation.  The very first year I stated how this irritated the shit out of me and how it would come back to bite us in the ass and it did.

Then he called the timeout to talk about it.

Then another timeout to ice his own kicker who had already missed an extra point and a short field goal attempt earlier in the game.

Then the block and recovery by Army.

It was possibly the most sickening series of events I've ever seen.  But most importantly to now...why I'm scared to death for what we are about to watch in our next venture into the world of pass happiness,...and why I hope and pray Littrell will know when to take advantage of a suffocating ground game when it is afforded him.

Thanks for the correction FFR.   My eyes are getting older and more forgetful of bad football.

This.  I suffered through three quarters of that game in the post- Hurricane Ike sauna before I finally threw in the towel.

Actually, I though he was talking about the Ohio game at Fouts when Frank Solich out-coached Dodge.  Something similar happened, I can't remember the details.

Actually, if I can recall that one correctly (again, hazy), we had a chance to win that game but Jamaal Jackson dropped a game-winning TD pass from Tune that hit him square in the numbers.  If Riley didn't get hurt (how many times could we say that?), that game would have been a win.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      It’s absolutely ridiculous that some college athletes make more than professional athletes. Makes me think of the old Sports Illustrated bit: Signs of the Apocalypse. I stated this in another thread, but I strongly believe that the players are not the engine that drives the machine, it’s the universities. Ive got a theory that I believe to be true and hopefully I am able to explain it in a way that makes sense. Let’s say that next year, all the talent dropped a level. So Alabama, etc. had the talent usually associated with UNT. UNT had the talent usually associated with SFA. SFA had the talent usually associated with aTm Commerce, etc., etc. Most fans won’t care and most won’t notice the drop off in talent. All most fans care about is their team winning. If we had the talent level of SFA, but we won the American, no one would care that we’re not as talented. I’ll even go a step further and say that must fans would think we were better. Bottom line is that the universities are the ones making the money, not the players. No one is forcing them to play. If they don’t want to play for FREE tuition, don’t play. There’s a line of people wanting to take their place. I was working 25-30 hours a week in a warehouse while going to college, so forgive me if I don’t have sympathy for people who have the opportunity to do something that I wasn’t quite talented enough to do. **That being said, I don’t have a problem with legitimate NIL**

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      So hard to watch this team crumble when everything's on the line. It's happened all season. No excuse for losing this game. Sure the bats were cold, but this is completely on our pitching staff. DeLong has to find us better pitchers with more mental toughness for next season. I can't believe a team this senior heavy that has done what they've done, can't play better than what we are watching. I'll go ahead and say it now. this team (especially the pitching staff) isn't mentally tough enough to win the conference tournament.

      We take a 2-1 lead in the 7th....they tie in the bottom half. 2-2 in the 8th......Mean Green batting.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      1-1 going to the 6th. Skylar pitching a great game. Even though they listed the start time as 4.....that must have been 4 Eastern time. Go Mean Green!!!
