Blame CUSA and Sun Belt conferences for not having enough bowl eligible teams.

While the mother has landed on US soil, the son is fighting deportation to the US. Meanwhile, it appears they had a gun in their hotel room in Mexico. That's a BIG no-no in Mexico. Story

As do I. I really, truly, genuinely like the guy. But if I look through an objective lens, I don't see much production.

The coaching world mystifies me. In a world where results are everything, once you get admitted to the fraternity, no matter how little you've produced, you continue to find employment.

Mrs. Couch: Yes, I'd like one pizza, and hurry! I'm on the lam! Pizza guy: So you want lamb on your pizza? Mrs. Couch: No! I'm ON the lam! Pizza guy: Lady, I don't care WHAT you're in to. What do you want on your pizza?

I think it said appetizers in the email. Which brings a question. Since they started selling beer in the super pit, meaning the mean green room is now a cash bar environment, if they're just serving appetizers, what is my $10 admission fee getting me?

Care to summarize in the mean time?

Can't find a line on this game (again).

I do enjoy a bit of schadenfreude knowing they're sitting in a Mexican jail right now. Even if only a holding cell, you know that place ain't the Hyatt. I was thinking that with their financial resources, they're actually luck the police got to them before the cartels did.

Watched them in the Don Haskins Invitational. They're not a great team, but by no means is this game a gimme.

If nothing else, this is HUGE for the UNT psyche. This isn't some Oklahoma castoff gone slinking around for a last chance. This is a graduate transfer from a serious program who did all the right things through four years at Alabama. Littrell is quickly showing he's not here to screw around.

He and his mother are in custody in mexico

The nepotism and lame excuses are over. If the kid can play, he'll get his shot.

Interesting that there's nothing more recent than 1994. I admit I struggle to add to that list with anything since 1994, but for 40s movies, I'd add The Best Years of our Lives.

The way the schedules are currently set up? No. However, if the series were to continue on in future years where other OOC games are not yet set, to agree to this game on a neutral field (the Cotton Bowl), while still allowing both teams to schedule a full six-game home schedule would be great for everybody.

When they expand to sixty-four bowl games next year, I think we might have an outside shot.

I was really hoping for great things from this one, but it sounded like Lungs Part II. So, not that it's a bad album, but it just didn't differentiate itself for me.

In no particular order: Nikki Lane -- All or Nothin' Slightly Stoopid -- Meanwhile, Back at the Lab Perro Bravo -- Three on the Tree Law -- Mild Lawtism Revivalists -- Men Amongst Mountains Devil Makes Three -- I'm a Stranger Here The Skints -- FM Honorable mention: What my daughter described as "The best 19 minutes of my life," the one off performance of Vagician at the Denton Rock Lottery 14.

I'm a little perplexed by this thread. Yes. Many of us, yours truly included, have PTSD from our last offensive genius who refused to ever take a snap under center. But then again, our last regime ran and ran and ran the ball, and it was, offensively speaking, even worse. Run, pass, teleport the damn ball. I don't care. I just want a coach who's able to correctly assess any given situation and use the appropriate attack. My biggest concern is on the other side of the ball. Can we give up fewer than 40 points a game in 2016?

Well that certainly piqued my curiosity. Went to the google about Mormons cooking with wine. The banter back and forth is akin to asking people on this message board if Todd Dodge had potential as a college coach.

Finally seeing UNT win a game against Indiana. The Stand against Rice. HOD Bowl victory. Trouncing SMU.

It is a strange thing. My sales days, my bonuses ranged anywhere from 40% to over 100% of my base annual salary. You bet damn skippy I was out there busting balls to max that thing out. Now, in accounting, my salary is good for the number of years I've been out of school, but it's static. You get used to it, and begin to take it for granted. My bonus generally covers my annual MGC and season tickets, nothing more, so I don't even give it but a mere second thought every once in a while. I have zero incentive to do my work better, more efficiently, or any other corporate adjective you'd like to inject here. In fact, I've been very open with management that between their compensation structure and their archaic project management techniques, I'm actually incentivized to do LESS work. I've got some acknowledgement on that. Bottom line. I love to see an incentive laden contract for a coaching position. That one year of his base salary would buy me about three houses doesn't make me weep for his impending standing in line at the soup kitchen.

What, no car allowance? Where's the car allowance?

Wow. I'm really surprised at that. I like it.
