http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...0&ATCLID=189960 Hurricane Rita Affects Mean Green Events Courtesy: University of North Texas Release: 09/22/2005 DENTON (9/22/05) - Many of the North Texas athletic events scheduled for this weekend have been postponed due to the potential effects of Hurricane Rita. "With Hurricane Rita approaching the North Texas area, we have made the decision to postpone all home athletic events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday," said athletic director Rick Villarreal. "The safety of our student-athletes and staff is of the utmost importance and postponing these contests is the first measure to help ensure that safety. We will make every effort to re-schedule everything that is affected by this storm." The women’s soccer games against Northwestern State on Friday, Sept. 23 and Texas Woman’s University on Sunday, Sept. 25 have been cancelled. Friday’s game with Northwestern State was scheduled to be played in Natchitoches and Sunday’s match with Texas Woman’s was to be played in Denton. No makeup date has been announced for either game. The Mean Green volleyball team's home match against Louisiana-Lafayette scheduled for Friday was postponed as well. The Mean Green Softball Invitational, scheduled for play on Friday and Saturday, will only play games on Friday. All Saturday games at Denia Park will not be played. Game times on Friday will change. The Mean Green Tennis Invitational will also only play matches on Friday. The tournament was scheduled for play from Friday through Sunday.

Rule 8-5-1-a states: It is a safety when the ball becomes dead out of bounds behind a goal line or becomes dead in the possession of a player on above or behind his own goal line and the defending team is responsible for the ball being there. The punter kicked the ball out of his own end zone. The fact that the ball went out of bounds in the end zone before the change of possesion is what makes it a safety, not the fact that he committed the penalty in the end zone. Only certain penalties committed in the end zone are deemed as a safety. Declining the penalty would still result in the safety.

Congrats. Do I see another Mean Green O-Lineman in the future?

CB, The difference is that we are smacking on our own board. You came here as a fan of another school to smack about a game your team wasn't even involved in. Anyway, good luck to Baylor the rest of the way. It's gonna be tough for you but if you can get 3 more wins you guys will be bowl eligible and a Texas team in a bowl game is always a good thing.

Good luck to you Deep. I'll be praying for you.

good job Nick

Ahhh west coast football. Games starting at 9:00 PM. Not being able to travel to away games, increased travel costs.

It may be DD's dream to coach at Kansas State but I doubt it is K-States dream to have DD as coach. They could get any number of better and more qualified candidates to apply for the job there.

But I can't. This is the first weekend my lady has had off the whole weekend in months -- so we have friends coming in town to visit. It would go over like a ton of bricks for me to leave all day Saturday and return that night only to be tired to whole next day. ←

Congrats to Baylor on your 3 wins against SMU(terrible since they quit paying players), Samford & Son, and Army. It will be about 11 months until you win again 'cause you will go o'fer the rest of the way. Hello 3-8. Hello to spending December in Waco(again). Baylor Battle Cry: Yeah we're 2-9 but at least we're BCS!

Kansas State 41 North Texas 6 I just don't see it getting any better this week. Kansas State in their house will be a tough task indeed.

Joe Gibbs had put together the perfect Redskins team. The only thing he was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges, and even the high schools, and he couldn't find a ringer quarterback that would ensure a SuperBowl win. Then one night, watching CNN, he saw a war zone in Iraq. In the background, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a young Iraqi soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand grenade straight into a 15th story window 200 yards away--ka-boom! He threw another hand grenade into a group of about 10 insurgents a good 110 yards away ka-blooey! A car bomber passes going 90 miles an hour--bulls-eye! Right into it. "I've got to get this guy," Joe says to himself. "He has the perfect arm!" So he brings him to the states and teaches him the great game of football and the Redskins go on to win the SuperBowl. The young Iraqi is lionized as the Great Hero of the SuperBowl, and when Joe asks him what he wants, all the young man wants to do is to call his mother. "Mom," the young man says into the receiver, "I just won the SuperBowl." "I don't want to talk to you," the old woman says. "You deserted us. You're not my son." "I don't think you understand, mother" the young man pleads. "I just won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm in the middle of thousands of adoring fans." "No, let me tell you," the mother implores. "At this very moment, there are gun shots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their life last week, and this week your sister was raped in broad daylight...." The old lady pauses, in tears. "...I'll never forgive you for moving us to Washington."

I have lost ALL respect for you GreenBat

http://www.titansonline.com/news/titans_ne....php?PRKey=3079 One of defense’s highlights came in the form of linebacker Brad Kassell’s first career interception that he returned 21 yards for a touchdown to give the Titans a comfortable 23-3 lead in the fourth quarter. “Sometimes you’ve got to light a fire under people’s butts,” said Kassell, who received an escort into the end zone from defensive tackle Randy Starks and linebacker Keith Bulluck. “Sometimes that takes getting your butt whooped. We never want to have a performance like that again. The coaches were preaching emotion this week. As you saw this week, we ran around and people made plays. I think we just came out flat last week. As you know, football is an emotional game and you’ve got to play with some emotion.” We showed a lot of good things, but we still have a little ways to go,” Kassell said. “The season is a progression where you’ve got to get better and better. We took a good step forward today after taking a step backwards against Pittsburgh. We have to keep preparing every week like we did this week and play with emotion, and I think we’ll get a lot better throughout the year.”

1. 1st and 10 - Even though K-State has 9 in the box, run a 20 base for a 2 yard loss. 2. 2nd and 12 - Play-action fake to Cobbs. Throw to Muzzy on a wide receiver screen for a 3 yard loss. 3. 3rd and 15 - Draw to Mitchell for 16 yards. Illegal formation. 4. 3rd and 20 - Throw a wounded duck in the general vicinity of Quinn in triple coverage. Quinn for a miraculous catch for 27 yards. Holding penalty. 5. 3rd and 30 - False start. Time Out 6. 3rd and 35 - Delay of game. 7. 3rd and 40 - QB draw for 4 yards 8. 4th and 36 - Punt which gets a good roll and goes for 60 yards. Illegal man downfield. 9. 4th and 41 - Punt goes for 50 yards. Returned 42 yards for a net of 8 yards.

Not sure where the original line of scrimmage was but it was around the 20. The ref called an illegal kick on the punter and penalized Tulsa on the ensuing free-kick. That is a well coached punter.

Not many designed rollouts from DD on Saturday. The problem was that Tulsa was bringing linebackers and safeties off the corners all night long. The line wasn't truely staked as much as it was 8-9 guys lined up almost single file along the line. The pocket collapsed too quick to allow PC, and J-Mo to take advantage of the zone blocking scheme we employ. For that to really work, the rb has to have time to see where the hole opens up and then hit essetially the best hole in any number of gaps. Any time we ran the zone block, PC and J-Mo would wait for the hole but they would get hit in the backfield or get bottled up in the pocket and go for 1-2 yards. Mitchell is just not big enough to pick up 250 lb linebackers on the blitz protection. We either need to start using our younger and bigger fullbacks or place some tight ends back there as H-backs to provide some protection. I know you guys don't want to hear this but DD needed to employ some short handoffs to the up backs, quick draws, and QB draws to get Tulsa to quit bringing their defenders outside. He needed to allow Meager to check-off and call the hot route. He needed to allow the receivers the flexibility to cut their routes into slants and skinny posts instead of the same old go route.

http://www.kansas.com/mld/kansas/sports/12690061.htm Discipline likely for Cats' Clayton BY JEFFREY MARTIN The Wichita Eagle Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder said Monday that junior running back Thomas Clayton, who was arrested Friday by university police on a charge of aggravated battery, will have "consequences" to deal with. Snyder explained he was referring to internal discipline. The coach refused to disclose whether Clayton, who has the nation's top rushing average, will miss any of Saturday's game against North Texas. Clayton was released from Riley County police custody on $1,000 bond Friday. K-State police Capt. Richard Herrman refused to comment on specifics of the arrest Monday, saying a report was close to completion. According to various media reports, an employee of the school's parking services made the call Friday morning for a wheel lock to be applied to Clayton's car in an effort to immobilize his vehicle. Clayton reportedly had various unpaid parking tickets. According to K-State parking official Jeff Barnes, a wheel lock could be ordered if a student has three tickets that have gone unpaid after 14 days or five unpaid tickets, or if a student has parked in a reserved spot or stored a vehicle illegally on campus. Instead of waiting for the wheel lock, Clayton allegedly pulled away, nearly running into the employee. He was arrested in the parking lot of the Vanier Football Complex at 3:30 p.m. Snyder said it's atypical of Clayton, whom he describes as polite and courteous. "I think we have to let this thing settle down a little bit," Snyder said. "It's not what it appears to be. I'm not in a position to elaborate on that, but I don't think it's quite the issue that it was made out to be initially. "He didn't purposely do anything other than make a tremendous error in judgment. I think all of that will come front and center here before too long." Herrman said the report will be sent to the county attorney this morning for review. At that point, a determination will be made whether or not Clayton's actions fall within the criteria of aggravated battery. Riley County attorney Barry had not reviewed the official police report, but said he would not prosecute someone for aggravated battery if no weapons were used or if a suspect did not use his hands or feet to cause severe injuries. "There has to be some sort of physical contact for it to be aggravated battery," Wilkerson said. Clayton is averaging 164.5 yards per game.

He could play with handcuffs and leg shackles and still go for 120 on our defense.

Nice prediction on our scoring with your jersey.
