Got Your Usa Today, Today (paul Harvey Voice)?

A buddy of mine in Cleveland sent me an email at 5:40 am this morning, congratulating me on NT making the front page of USA Today. He was vague about the coverage but said it included a picture.

See the online version of the story below, including the You Tube link to Riley's most famous play.

And the spin ain't bad based on what the record we have posted over the last four years.

"(Riley's) expectations are for us to be in the New Orleans Bowl. That's just the way he is," the coach said. "

"Said Riley Dodge: "I'm not nervous. This stuff doesn't really rattle me too much."

Ok, before I just felt pretty good about Riley's potential....now I'm a fan.

I picked up a copy on my way out of town.

At the top of the sports page is a picture of Craig Robertson making a tackle. Interesting, trying to see this through the eyes of someone unaware of the Sun Belt, that North Texas shows up very nicely, and you can hardly tell that he is tackling a Troy boy.

USA Today has been doing its conference previews for the last couple of weeks. They usually feature one team, then give a Countdown to Kickoff section with last years standings and the odds each team has of winning the conference. What does it say about the conference that USA Today found our story most interesting? What does it say about us?

By the way, Danny Sheridan has us at 250-1 to win conference. A $10 wager in Vegas would return $2500! Can you say stadium fund?
