Picture. Alternate story where I found the picture. And the guy's picture: Source on the picture.

It's accurate, but skewed because of how early in the season we are. For instance, Duke is 16th in RPI, one below Evansville from the MVC. And Western Carolina is ranked 38th with an 0-1 record because they lost to UConn, and that one game counts as the toughest schedule (so far) in NCAA basketball. Once we've seen more games and the power conferences get into their conf. schedules, things will start to shake out like what you'd expect. But a team that plays decent OOC and keeps on winning, whether it's us, UALR, or Arkansas State, can end up with a pretty impressive RPI. I forget where South Alabama finished last season, but they earned their at-large bid.

It certainly seems that way.

I'm down in Houston while the team is playing in Denton, and I head back to Dallas the day before the team plays in Houston.

Honestly... If Bush hadn't authorized tailgating, I think everyone would have moved to Mexico or Canada by now.

I think he gets two years, and if the country isn't fixed, we impeach him and try to hire a promising cabinet minister from Ireland or Sweden.

This is the only home game all season that I'm going to miss.

That's actually 1 or 2 lower than what I currently expect, but I haven't really been pursuing things since basketball season started. Are you being cautious in your estimate, or have a few guys changed their minds about trying to leave?

Also, freund is spelled with a "u", not an "i". Oh, wait... wrong thread. Nevermind!

Tied for 45th... It's still early in the season. When will the power mid-major programs start showing us some respect?!?

Smitty and CarribbeanGreen should be stopping by for the first time. If I had to guess, I'd bet he's arranged something with Smitty.

1) Nothing here at GMG remotely resembles the sort of venom and vulgarity you'll find at BaylorFans, PonyFans, or anywhere else on the college football forum internet. 2) I recall distinctly, and a quick board search confirmed, that you posted critical remarks, frustrations with playcalling/personnel, and negatively titled posts linking to outside articles after losses while DD was still recruiting in 2006. You never said "fire Dickey", but there wasn't a whole lot of recruiting help coming from you in 2006 when YOU felt the coach should be let go (and I'd say that this post was pretty directly critical). The fact is that different fans come to the conclusion that their coach is a lost cause at different times. A lot of people are already there. They're no more wrong or out of line in vocalizing that frustration (provided they don't do it in a moronic fashion, which may be asking too much from a few of our fans here) than you were 2 years ago. This isn't a knock at OldTimer; I appreciate OldTimer and the work he does for this forum and I think he's a great fan. I hope that I'm able to support the Mean Green as long and as devotedly as he has. I made this same kind of post when Plumm got upset over similar issues. My opinion is that any player who is willing to look past the conference affiliation, look past the football stadium, look past our coach's epically disastrous tenure, look past the bad publicity and everything else that hurts us in recruiting... That player is NOT going to ignore his own eyes and ears and brain, ignore his newspaper, ignore the archive of stats and game histories available at our own school's website, but then see frustrated fans who demand more from their coaches than we're getting from the one we have now and suddenly decide not to come here. Frustrated fans on our messageboard are so far down the list of what hurts us in landing recruits... It's not even worth worrying about. We have REAL problems, not just perception issues that *might* be slightly worse (not really) than what a recruit will see elsewhere. That's what will really hurt us. Even the biggest dumbass on GMG posting "Fire Todd Dodge!" isn't worth a gob of spit in the ocean when you look at the big picture. Anyone who wants the coach fired, go ahead and say so. Just don't be a total idiot about it.

I'd say it's neck-and-neck between Meager and Phillips.

Thanks for the encouragement... If you'll be at the basketball tournament, stop by and let us know.

Y'know, this Rick Stockstill fellow... He's no Mario Cristobal, but he seems to be pretty good in his own special way.

I didn't know North Texas coaches were allowed to outscore their opponents on Saturdays. Congrats, Coach Stephens. Way to buck the trend!

I second the unfortunately. Just saying that we're less than a year away from his arrest, as silly as it was.

Keith Wooden says we shouldn't throw stones.

Still stay positive. You damn kids with your negativity...

Whenever you can make it to a home game, sit with us and we'll make it as easy to follow as possible.

Maybe he means shot putters or hammer throwers. Stay "positive"! ... " " ...

Unusual starting five... White and Dennis not a surprise, but McCoy and Hogans are. Odufuwa starting at 5 rather than 4 this time.

Troubling news, for sure. Will Rucker be imprisoned? Who will catch next year?

Is Patrick eligible for maternity leave?

Why are you guys here? Party's in the other thread. Come make some haikus.
