i love that him and jordan are wearing "Mean Green Basketball" or "North Texas Basketball" shirts at every event. You honestly can't pay for that kind of Pub. Every kid seeing him doing those moves in that shirt will realize i too can go play at North Texas.

Intellectual dishonesty? Is that a roundabout way of calling me a liar? Are you on the jury of EITHER one of these cases? No. Then you are getting your information regarding both of the cases via the same means as EVERYONE ELSE. The Media. Your views in the Sandusky case have been iron-clad since the very beginning. You were presented the case by the media because you're not on the jury. You've never called out the media for enciting a lynch mob in this case, which they have. The evidence presented by the media is certainly there to convict this dude. However, a judge just threw out 3 of the counts due to a key witness' testimony being faulty. Maybe we should wait to see all the facts? OPPOSITELY, Your views in the Zimmerman case have been open (let's wait and see the facts come out... blah, blah) since the very beginning. This is probably the best road to take. You were presented the case by the media because you're not on the jury. You constantly barrage the media for creating this firestorm for ratings sake. The evidence is certainly there to convict this man of murder. However, key witness' testimonies appear muddled. I wouldn't expect you to say Zimmerman murdered this kid, or Zimmerman was acting in self defense, rather, I would expect you to say: "Let's wait and see what the facts spell out in the Sandusky trial". But you're not doing that.

How about State host Southern & let's bring Tech to Apogee

Sorry can't attach because of upload limits on size Busby has hopes the program will return. Likes the prospect of making an immediate impact.

So, I'm tendin' bar there at Ecklund and Swedlin's last Tuesday, and this little guy's drinkin' and he says, "So where can a guy find some action? I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake." And I says, "What kinda action?" and he says, "Woman action, what do I look like?" And I says, "Well, what do I look like, I don't arrange that kinda thing," and he says, "But I'm goin' crazy out there at the lake," and I says, "Well, this ain't that kinda place."

Tech is doing what they always do with their schedule. Play some non-OOC team in Texas that they can beat, until they can't beat them anymore. Look at the teams they have scheduled and then stopped playing over the years in the state. North Texas, beat them twice--really it should have been three times with no thanks to LaDarrin McLane, TCU, who they got shutout by in Ft. Worth a few years ago and then cancelled a game with them last year because, in the words of Tommy Tuberville, "TCU is not kind of team we need to be playing right now.", and UH which beat them a few years ago in Houston. Now that Texas State and UTSA are around, they will get games with Tech for the next decade. Just after we beat them often in that series we played them, they quickly scheduled SMU, who regularly got their clocks cleaned by Tech. Now that SMU is good, they aren't on Tech's schedule anymore. Its just what the sand fleas do...schedule weak as possible in OOC and then beat 4-5 teams in conference and go to a bowl game with a 7-5 or 8-4 record. Its the same old thing every years with them.

1985. I think his parents owned the Pizza Inn, or Pizza Hut? Is that correct? Go Elks! Rick

Not so fast my friends ?? TECH Tech learned of this possibility several days ago, and according to the source, is "adamantly opposed to playing on the Longhorn Network" and is "putting serious consideration into canceling the game and playing an 11 game schedule" this fall

just for fun name some of those "lower tier teams" that would be willing to do that besides D1-AA

I like the idea, but if we were going to pimp out our geographic location, lets aim a little higher and get some quality national exposure. The Pac 12 really wanted Texas and OU. High profile Pac teams might be willing to play us in 1 and 1 series. USC or UCLA would bring great national exposure to Apogee. UCLA has already played Houston in a series, and Houston plays in Robertson. Washington State would be a great series. They are terrible right now, but Leach will turn them around, and I'm sure he would love to play in DFW for recruiting. An annual home and home series with WSU could become a great rivalry in the future. A rivalry that could help grow both university's programs.

I think there are several things at play. First, CUSA started out with a consensus to add two schools (FIU and UNT). The Alliance idea was still in play and two divisions of 10 playing 9 games was rather manageable. Then MWC needed to kill the WAC in order to survive since it became apparent that the Alliance idea had some serious issues. Offering a lifeboat to UTSA and La.Tech then entered the equation. That led to ECU and Marshall to oppose because they felt there was not sufficient accomodation in the east and UAB felt basketball was getting the short end of the stick. That led to Charlotte and ODU. What was supposed to be a simple 2 team expansion mushroomed into six teams (remember WAC16 was supposed to be WAC12 and it took off). From those I've talked to the sense is C-USA is not content at 14. There is belief that the Alliance concept of a large conference having greater bargaining power with TV still has merit but MWC is not the appealing partner it once was. I am told models of 16, 18, and 20 are being discussed, 18 looks popular at this point. Timining is a significant issue because it needs to be done prior to signing the next TV deal but not so it overlaps with the ODU and Charlotte transition seasons because there could be two FCS added (James Madison and Delaware being most likely). The eastern schools supposedly would like to add JMU, UD, and FAU so that USM is in the west. With one school added in the West, supposedly UTEP wants New Mexico.

Oh, and you're a douche.

"If anyone here thinks that after one year and a 5 win season that 4 & 5 star recruits are going to be flocking to UNT, you are NUTS!" You can't spell NUTS without UNT.

You know you haven't made the team when you're still sharing a locker.

I would assume that's the thinking. Maybe he'll get to see the field occasionally in 2013. But not this year, unless he has a from-out-of-nowhere monster fall camp.

Cowboy's training facility?

Your question was not directed to me, but if they wanted to get Cooper on the field, TE was not the place to do it. He's behind at least 3 other TEs on the depth chart.

I still don't think TOP is the issue. Like I said, the only game that UH won the TOP battle, we lost. UH scores so fast, it's usually UH's defense that tires more than the opponent's D. Out of 85 offensive TDs, only 4 took longer than 4 minutes. Only 11 took 10 or more plays. The only teams to really beat Keenum with a TOP game was UCF and Air Force in 2009 and our defense has improved since then. UH's lowest 2 TOP games last season were 17:45 vs Marshall and 21:25 vs Rice. The scores of those games were 63-28 and 73-34. And that cramp ploy hasn't worked yet. SMU is the worst at it and UH has beaten them 6 straight. Tulsa and TT used it too in losses. I'm not one to boo injured players, but when you see players fake injuries frequently, sometimes real injuries get booed because it looks like another fake one.

Now that's an idea I can be on board with. Or even give TSU to Tech and bring TSU-SM to Apogee.

Too bad....becuase he could have been a Mean Greenie here...

How could they have not seen this as a possibility from the beginning? Do they not realize LHN is an ESPN platform? Did they actually think ESPN was going to use valuable air time on one of their main networks for Texas Tech vs Texas State?

theres a sophomore qb in valley view we should take a look at. looks like he could be good for us, and supposedly he's gonna go to one of our camps in july. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/521518/#highlights/2115409

If both teams are scoring every possession, it doesn't matter what style of play you use. Obviously, with UH's amazing TD/possession ratio, it made little difference last year. That doesn't negate the value of TOP against Houston, though. If you're looking to stop the big play, I think we would agree a rested defense would increase your chances of that. Unofficially, as a CUSA fan, I've watched other teams employ a newer tactic that is gaining popularity against Houston: it's the get-a-cramp-and-official-timeout-to-stop-that-ridiculous-Case-Keenum-offense-that's-been-rolling-for-a-decade-oh-God-is-he-ever-going-to-graduate ploy. I think we might have a chance.

Pretty sure that's not the locker room at Cowboys Stadium. Was just in there Sunday on Father's Day.

Can he play football?

Interesting consideration. I'm not going through every play of the season, so I looked at offensive and special teams TDs >=20 yards. UH had about 1100 offensive plays or about 79 plays per game. We had 40 TDs>=20 yards. Dividing long TDs by number of plays and UH is at about 3.6% UNT had about 827 plays or about 69 plays per game. I was surprised that UNT only had 10 less offensive plays per game. UNT had 11 TDs >=20 yards or about 1.3%. Out of curiousity I picked another high octane offense Baylor who was #4 in scoring (UH as #1). They had about 1000 plays or 77 plays per game and 36 TDs >=20 yards. That comes out to 3.6%, almost identical to UH. Regarding the change in offensive coaching: according to this article, Nesbitt is not only using the same offense, but we're even continuing to use the same terminology as before so there should be little transition for the players learning a new offense. With Keenum mentoring Piland over the last 2 years, including the year Piland played 8 games, I'm guessing he's learned a lot about the offense since he was thrown to the wolves after the 2 QB injuries. Regarding Piland taking a few games to get into the flow, it's possible. I don't think Keenum was hitting on all cylinders in the early games last year either after coming back from injury. In Piland's freshman year you could argue that it took him some time. But I think we emphasized the run a lot more to help him out once he started. In his last 2 games, he had 467 and 441 yards.

I hope they are right. But, I don't see Troy finishing ahead of ULL or ASU.

I like that idea. It could be the Lane Rawlins Bowl, since he has been president of both universities. Hey, throw Memphis in, too.

None of this stuff means much anymore without the QB that got you there and the coaching staff that called the shots. That would be like one of us citing how potent our running game is with Lance Dunbar's stats.

I'd rather reminisce about the Buick era than bring up anything Todge.

Go Elks, when did you graduate?

went to highschool with him. Nice guy

That's because they are far different cases with a huge difference in evidence, witnesses, etc... But you know this. Intellectual dishonesty is fun, isn't it?

http://sports.yahoo....olestation.html A coward to the bitter end. It would be a smart move if the defense had not promised jurors during open arguments that Sandusky would testify. I don't know about that now. Acquittal is still VERY possible. This is Happy Valley, and Sandusky was a popular football coach at Pedophile St.

30 wins AND a sweep of the Miami Heat in the Finals or he's toast.

Can this kid's dad coach "coach"?

Riley Dodge pt. 2: The Saga Continues.

Ya...but...5'11", 175?

5'11, 175 ?

30 wins or Johnny Jones is totally fired.

None of the posters have mentioned Bart Lundy. From what I read on his bio it indicates that he has had great success and from what I hear from friends in Milwaukee what he did at Marquette was pretty good.dare good . Lundy has more wins as a head coach than anyone on staff and has been to the NCAA tourney, on one level or another, 7 times.

The current situation in the Big East - everybody but the new kids looking for an exit, Notre Dame's uncertain situation (they may have to join a conference to get access to the playoff), the basketball/football division - has everything on hold for now. With no BCS left, the case for Boise and SDSU moving has gotten a great deal weaker,too. Grab your popcorn.

Did you ever pay your FINRA fines Phillip? Question, no info.
