YES...to "certain" FCS's early in the season. TSU, SFA, SHSU only.

Sounds about right to me. Newness of Dodgeball worn off.

I'm out on trekking to far-flung outposts to not watch a game that a place assured someone was going to be on.

1. SMU 2. TCU 3. Houston 4. Rice 5. UTEP 6. Tulsa 7. La. Tech 8. Ark St. 9. NMSU 10. La-Laf. 11. Tulane

So, all of those guys are conference officials? Seems excessive to me.

There were 8 guys, all in sleeveless sweaters sitting at the scorer's table. What's their story?

What's up with only an upper level of seats and all that empty space along the baselines? It looks like it was designed to have pull-out seats along the baselines, only...they're not there!

That is the way I understood the complaint.

I've been trying to log on to meangreensports.com to renew my season tix and, even though it clearly shows my correct e-mail address on the renewal form, the website says it doesn't recognize the address. Anybody else? Ideas? Don't tell me I can fax it. I know that.

While I agree that the situation is not ideal, the improvement over the last 5 years has been pretty impressive. I have seen Mean Green stuff at Bed, Bath and Beyond, Steve and Barry's, Sports Authority (real nice, but overpriced Adidas stuff) and JC Penny's. This would have been unheard of 5 years ago. Now, if someone can find me a Mean Green ski jacket, that would me a minor miracle.

If that color is accurate...I'm out. I'd like to see more adjustable hats. Those stretch-fit things don't work for guys like me with tiny brains.

Sounds like you're sitting in my seats! That's about where we are...right across the aisle from E, maybe a couple of rows down from you. I try to stand up on 3rd downs and it always seems like I'm the only one standing. I will admit that the alumni side has loosened up a bit in the last couple of years. Give us something to stand up and yell about and I think it'll happen.

I don't think I actually KNOW anyone on the board. I just know OF some of you. Is there anyone who thinks they know me? We need to have some sort of gathering where we all wear nametags or somesuch.

Amen! That NT Exes logo is too busy. It's all crammed together and just looks like a big blob. It would be difficult to see on a helmet. We need to get the SOW on the helmets ASAP.

Not your fault. I didn't realize I-35 was still shut down and everyone was using Colony Main as their alternate route. It took me an hour to get from N. Colony Blvd. up to Varsity. Then, I walk in and no friggin' game. Then, I come home and listen to it on the radio and, well, you know what happened. What a wasted evening.

Although I still have to put this one on the defense, I have to wonder why we were trying to throw on 3rd & 2 and 4th & 2. They didn't hold us to less than 2 yards on the ground all night.

I'm with ya Flyer.

OK, I'm there in 45 minutes.

Is this place just up the road from Blue Sky? I think I've been there before.

No doubt. I just watched it. People sitting around me here at work are wondering what's so funny. RV and the reporter doing the story handled things very well.

I'm gonna need a little help here because I haven't been following this story closely. "I am suspended indefinitely for saying, 'We are from the hood,' on the sideline," Green said." Nobody's gonna get suspended just for saying "We are from the hood." Has the coaching staff or admin. commented on the suspension? It just seems like there's a huge puzzle piece missing here.

No expectations for W/L really. I figured we'd probably go somewhere between 0-12 and 3-9. My biggest expectations were that we would look better losing...cut down on penalties, stupid mistakes, missed assignments, getting blown out, etc. You know, look like we had a clue, but just didn't have the athletes to pull it off. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed in how the season has gone.

I think those of us on the alumni side could only hope that more people would yell at coaches and players. At least there'd be some noise then. It's like a freakin' morgue over there. There are a handful of us who try to make noise at the appropriate times and everyone else just sits there. I'll say this, though, at least they're watching the game. Go to a suburban HS game and the only people actually there to see football are the player's parents and me. I digress. They need to bring the cheerleaders up to the middle aisle sometimes and bring the "mini-band" up there more often. This would help to combat the extreme distances at Fouts.
