WHORING YOUR TEAM FOR ANY AMOUNT IS A BAD DEAL. IF NEBRASKA WANTS TO PLAY THEY'LL NEED TO MAKE IT A HOME-&-HOME DEAL. OUR SCHOOLS DIGNITY SHOULD NEVER BE FOR SALE. And anybody that compromises this value should immediately be fired.

I think he actually has a pretty good shot at the job if he beats Tennessee.

Interesting perspective from Snopes.com:

I can see them hanging 50 on us in the first half. I am soooooooooooooooo damn tired of supporting a school that whores out its teams for cash. fixed it for myself

Great recruiter? Nothing against Kendal because I don't doubt that he's a really nice guy and good coach, but....(there's always a big but) Calling anybody that recruits to a top ten program a "great recruiter" is like calling someone that orders food from good restaurants a great chef. A ball of twine could be considered a "great recruiter" at Alabama because every top recruit is interested in playing there.

Fine by me if Canales is signed to a 3 year contract, but only as long as not a single cent is guaranteed past year one. There's no way that North Texas should wind up buying out the contract of a very questionable interim. He needs to prove to us that he can do it as the head guy. Trial By Fire is the only way. Get results or get lost. Would Canales be up to that challenge?

#2 NMSU, #4 North Texas, and #10FAU all won and should be moving off the list. Looks like UT-SA and SMU will be earning their way onto this week's Top Ten. Hopefully they will have the strength to remain there for the rest of the season.

Well, we waited and didn't make an offer. Now California has offered. Good things come to those who wait, except in recruiting.

http://www.rowdytalk.com/showthread.php/7420-Is-this-the-worst-loss-in-program-history The point is, no matter how bad it was for them, NOTHING EVER IS AS EMBARRASSING AS LOSING TO UT-SA.

This program has hit rock bottom, and from an attendance point is an unsellable product. It will be nearly impossible to sell season tickets to see the guy who faltered under Dodge and absolutely tanked under McCarney lead the team. That being said, I would not be opposed to Canales receiving a ONE YEAR CONTRACT TO PROVE WHAT HE CAN DO if, and only if, he is able to produce a couple more wins this season. I, in no way shape or form, would even consider entertaining the thought of an extension past one year before the morning of September 4. Until then there should be no guaranteed contract for Canales: 2016 only. Because of the circumstances that he helped create he would have to survive trial by fire to get any contract beyond the 2016 season.

The outcome of Saturday Night's game against North Texas is very embarrassing to UT-SA. But UT-SA fans have found solace in the fact that it is nowhere as embarrassing as when North Texas lost to UT-SA in 2013, or even 2014.

Hey, any win is a Super Bowl win when you're convinced that your team is one of the worst in the history of football. It's just extremely nice to verify that one is actually worse, and that's where UTKFC fits in.

Ryan, I respect your dedication, but I believe that you are 100% wrong in confronting fans that choose family obligations over a all too often made scheduling error by an incredibly oblivious athletic department. The game is scheduled Halloween Night for what, some non-existent television exposure? It is not the customers that suck, it is the horrendous scheduling of the event that sucks. Personally, I would love to be at the game, but I am not going to do that to my children.

Per MEANGREENFOOTBALL: Uniform update: It will be green helmet, green tops and white pants. #BeatUTSA

One more reason that the UNT job is so attractive, is it is in Texas. All the state rah-rah bravado aside, Texas is one of the few states in the country that does not have a state income tax. The rates vary by state with up to 13.3% taken. There could be a million or more good reasons per year to coach at North Texas and you don't have to waste a single one of them on state income tax. And add in Denton County, it has relatively low cost of living in one of the highest standard of living counties in the country.

Lying, no, merely a sidestep......

The Georgia Southern Eagles, led by former Sam Houston State head coach Willie Fritz, rushed for over 500 yards while defeating Texas State. You may remember Coach Dennis Franchione, the Big Splash name that combined with his offensive wizardry was going to be so influential in harvesting the fertile Texas recruiting grounds? A whole lot of North Texas fans thought that he'd be the best replacement choice after Dodge was fired. Well, after five seasons, all at the FBS level, he has toiled away at Texas State and tonight ran into Willie Fritz and was handled 37-13 on national television. Fritz has dominated at every level as he has ascended, and he has done so by assembling competent staffs, recruiting well, and utilizing his teams talents to the best of their abilities. Despite being in transition from FCS, Georgia Southern weent undefeated in league play and won the Sun Belt title in their inaugural season, and they became bowl eligible tonight in their first season as a full FBS member. Fritz is doing extremely well at Georgia Southern and we'd be very lucky to get him. Unlike many of the other so-called favorites his head coaching experience isn't limited to X-Box or Playstation. Take substance over sizzle guys, Fritz knows what he is doing. .

Gawd, I hope not. 6:00 is blasted hot in September, and the students will again be baking in the sun for the first hour. There is too much emphasis placed on getting the people up in the air-conditioned levels home in time to watch their Golden Girls reruns. Unless there is some type of valid reason, and valid reason does not include ESPN 3 or Fox Unknown Channel webcasts, start all early season home games at 7:00 or 7:30. It's been a working formula for Texas high schools since, well, forever, and it will work for North Texas. People like to do social activities at the social time of the day. That September 3 game against SMU is our last scheduled home game with them. Everything possible needs to be done to make that game an all green sellout. Playing it in the heat of the day because of some crappy television scheduling will again kill attendance.

It creates balanced divisions with 7 in each. 7 team divisions mean that each team plays 3 home and 3 away games inside it's division (you don't play with yourself, at least you're not supposed to), and one home game and one away game with the other division. It works so much better than 6 team divisions.

The UTSA men's teams are RoadRunners............... The UTSA women move at a slower pace and are simply called StreetWalkers.

Georgia Southern lost their first Sun Belt game since joining the league tonight 31-13 playing at App State. In an odd way that's good for us. North Texas is very familiar with Willie Fritz, his background, and how well his credentials match the qualities that we are looking for. This loss, and the likelihood that Georgia Southern may not repeat as Sun Belt champions, will probably make him less attractive to some of the other schools that we could be competing with for his services.

Yes, He wanted the truth, wanted the truth, but .........He Can't Handle The Truth. I was beginning to wonder if anybody caught that.

I'll answer the question. Yes, Saban had Michigan State in the Top Ten in all polls the year he was hired away by LSU (1999). Oh wait, that's called consensus. I am not predicting that Mark Dantonio is going anywhere. I don't know Mark Dantonio and my answer is I don't have the first damn clue. Maybe he likes warm weather and likes to go to the coast. And maybe he doesn't have many friends in Michigan. I'm an educated man, but I'm afraid I can't speak intelligently about the career advancement habits of Mark Dantonio. What I do know is that he has had success suitable to make his resume attractive to many colleges, and there are many large budget schools in the SEC, South Carolina included, that could certainly pay him whatever his asking price. Now, are these the questions I was really called here to answer? Can you handle that?

I know. Stupid SEC. It's like when LSU thought they could use an enormous amount of cash to hire Nick Saban away from Michigan State. Oh wait, nevermind.
