I'd like to hire....... a little boy. /outdatedticketreference

Also, thanks for helping me hit my "Nora Dunn Reference Quota" early this year. If you can work in some Jan Hooks later in the week, I can go on vacation.

Bet ya five bucks we're about to find out. The last one is clearly Seminole Felt. Good gravy, people.

I'm going to have a laminated map of the game area sticking out of the front of my pants.

+10. Well done.

Didn't they have like really kick-ass team names and claim to represent major cities, despite the fact it was obviously all shot in a day on an LA soundstage?

Close enough.

This, of all things, is what you actually seem to take seriously. You surprise and impress me, sir. Kiss?

I should have added my two cents on the fact that between What's Up With That and Reba, Mr. Good Burger peaked this week. Even Baylor wins once in a while.

Okay, so does 90 get fan points for this or is it too gray area??

Except that it was. Even if you take AWAY the massive TD run, which in and of itself is a big miscalculation because yes, IT HAPPENED -- LD still averaged almost 5 yards a pop. It was consistently and highly successful.. the few times we went to it. There's still no attempt at an explanation for the 3rd and 1 call and handling of 4th down (as it pertains to LD) anywhere to be found. And yes, you're right - he might transfer. Hope he doesn't, but we'll go on either way.

Wow. I don't know what to say - I was quoted to make a point and given meltdown of the week all in the same QMMR... Time to raise the Mission Accomplished banner and throw my computer in Pantera's pool. Seriously though, thanks for the recap as always. Highlight of my week, by GMG terms.

Okay, but by that logic, why did SMU, MTSU, FIU, and others get an improvment within 2 years? How does being one or two recruits away from an 8 win season HINDER a new coach?!?

Sure - but not even just big schools... why do certain posters here feel we can't expect the same results as MTSU and FIU?!? I'd love to know.

Exactly. Say by some statistical miracle this thing turns it around and Pigskin Vic stays.... do you have confidence that we will have a strategical/adjustment advantage in ANY potential imaginary "big"game in the future?

a win is a win is a win... especially in this league. Good teams find ways to win when they play poorly.... now figure things out against a bad Oakland team on Thanksgiving and hope that this year the "December Swoon" gets worked out. If this thing goes into Dec. 4 at 8-3, there can be no complaints. Work it out. Find your offensive identity.

Is everyone blind to the one and two year turn arounds that happen all over the country?!? That no other school deals with having to wait FOUR years to win more than a couple of games?!? I mean, seriously... where is this template that says a new coach blows it up and takes another four years for success?!? It's not at MTSU. Not at FIU. Not a K-St. Not at SMU. Bet you $ it won't be at WKU.

But 99, have you really seen someone tangibly debate this yet? Because I haven't.

Three years and you can't recruit a guy who can consistenly make a PAT and it's not the coach's fault? Missed assignments, fumbles, INTs, and it's not the coach's fault???? Were you happy with the decisions at the end of the game yesterday? You would be the best boss a coach could ever ask for...

I'll add this about the play of the game, the third and short disaster: On third and one, you give it to the best player on your offense - the RB averaging TEN YARDS PER CARRY to get one yard. If he doesn't get it somehow, you give it to him again on fourth down. If by miracles of miracles he is stopped twice for less than a yard, you have taken almost two minutes off the clock and left a terrible offense with no confidence little time and 85 yards to go. How could this be so much as DEBATED?!? Again, I don't worry about Football Trilli's recruiting. I worry about the fact that I'm convinced there's not a coach in the FBS that wouldn't outcoach him.

Yep. On third and one, you give it to the best player on your offense - the RB averaging TEN YARDS PER CARRY to get one yard. If he doesn't get it somehow, you give it to him again on fourth down. If by miracles of miracles he is stopped twice for less than a yard, you have taken almost two minutes off the clock and left a terrible offense with no confidence little time and 85 yards to go. IT IS POP WARNER STUFF, FOLKS!

What would I do? I'd play Riley against ASU, and ensure that Dunbar gets 20-25 carries MINIMUM. Next year, it's a flat out open competition between Dodge and the senior Tune, starting from 0 with no prejudices. wish this were possible.

No problem with the block being on, but did we not still have a guy deep that just ignored the ball? Thought we did, correct me if i'm wrong.

Look, that's what fan boards - and sports fans in general - DO. When your team sucks, you complain. You rip the coach. You dissect things. if we weren't doing that, I'd have big concerns. You really think anyone who is ripping Dodge wouldn't be thrilled if he turns this thing around? REALLY? You can bag on the coach and still want the team to win, you know. Happens everywhere in the country every single day. I'm not a Todd Dodge fan, I'm a University of North Texas fan. ANYONE who bothers to show up to a game, post on this board, whatever... is as good as a fan as anyone else. This Junior High BS has to stop. Good God, Boys, we're adults here! NO ONE cheers for UNT because it's easy. It's DAMN hard. It's a tradition of FECES. Almost any other school in FBS would be easier to obsess over... but we choose this one. STOP MEASURING FANDOM. DEAR GOD. All aboard this big tent bandwagon. Please. I beg you. I'll take anyone.
