I didnt get to make the La Tech game because I got called in to work a boring post Saturday. I really want to keep my streak of going to at least 1 road game/ year alive. Is there anyone that wants to go, and probably turn around and head back? Honestly, I need a travel partner.

Maybe thats the perfect place for darrel duckey to go. He will be able to rightfully complain about the facilities.

Um, how exactly is cheering for a my winless alma matar instead of an undefeated team who I have no ties to "being jealous" of a winning team?

Thats awesome. Congrats.

Just think, we could use all three of our weapons.

I would rather support a winless NT team than an undeafeated TU team. Untill I see more of them supporting us, screw 'em.

I am tired of people ignoring the fact that there IS a problem. Noone has ignored what we did over the past 4 years. The fact remains that there need to be some changes.

We hit a deep post for a TD against OU, I think he hit a freshman JQ.

Maybe you could pull him over for some reason. Wonder if you'd find Donnis in the car?

PURE FREAKIN' GOLD

When they joined, SMU, Houston, Rice, and Utep were in the WAck

Yes, we should all want a coach who thanks and appreciates the fans. He has to understand that we have a right to complain when things arent going well, and to ask why they arent. Many have invested alot of money for season tickets. And you students are putting money into athletics via student fees. We all have the right to want to raise the bar, because its OUR INVESTMENT! We don't expect to beat those big schools all the time. But it is a problem when many want to bet on how bad the score will be. We get tired of the conservative game plan. We want to see a gameplan where the fans can go into the game saying, "You know what, today might be our day." Last year against CU was the perfect example. I thought he had a great gameplan. We were matching the Buffs TD for TD, until an unfortunate fumble on the Buffs 7 midway through the 2nd quarter. Then CU's depth started to make a difference. But it was such a great feeling to have for 2 quarters that dude, we could actually win this. I and many others understand that it takes time to build things. Its been 8 (EIGHT) YEARS. Aside from the years that Deloached coached the D, its been one arse whooping after another in OOC play. And now, it looks like dd's coaching and gameplan is catching up to him. WE just barely beat a 4th year fb program that gave us 8 turnovers. Thats not progress.

Because when he was here, he had our defense in the top 10, Even after playing OU, TCU, TU. TTU. After he left, our D started to lose its power, and recruiting. I know we still lost to the likes of OU and TU, but OU beat NT 37-10, and TU won 27-0. Yes those are losses, but considering the gap between the programs, thats pretty good.

Greensteve, please try to be levelheaded, most, if not all of us on here have not BASHED anyone, well, except for flanigan. We recognize what dd has done, and we want to see NT move up to the next level. We don't want to see schools like UCF, UTEP, and Boise pass us. I know you are not the only one who has complained about dd bashing. everyone needs to understand that dd's accomplishments are recognized.

Here we go again. First off, the repeated shots at the fans is NOT warranted. The people who are on this board, are some of the most die hard fans there are, win or lose. And as for the ones that arent on this board, well, we still did have 17K show up at the Troy game, as already mentioned. Many are calling for his job because of the repeated ass whoopings by OOC teams that are equal, not superior, to NT. When we play a bsc team, its like we are NEVER even close to being competitive. The game plans are always too conservative, and never change. We go to the NOB with ZERO OOC wins, and were not really competitive in any of them. We have been competitive in 1 of the 4 bowls. And, because of shots like that one he took earlier. He has been taking them at us for 8 years now. It has to stop. Instead of trying to bring us together, he is trying to create a divide between the players and the fans. Call, it the classic barry bonds "me vs the rest of you" syndrome. And most of us dont want him necessarily fired, we want him to make some key changes. But he has not made them in 8 years, and we don't see him making them. In fact, it seems that he doesnt even give a rat's ass that he has a LOSING record, even though we won 4 straight SBC titles. We want to see changes and improvements in the program, and if dd cant do it, we need to find someone that will. I know that this post and this repeated argument offends many, so let me apologize for wanting to raise the bar of NT athletics.

Night games allow for more tailgate time, allow for students who can't get off of work, to work an early shift ( I had to do that a few times), allow for those who dont tailgate to do some errands before the game, and allow for us to watch early games at tailgate. Even if it is cold at the game, so what? People need to grow some balls and wear a jacket to the game. And yes, I know the problem is going to be too many are scared off by cold weather.

Hey, dd only goes after one OOC win every 2-3 years when his head could be on the chopping block. I figure lala tech this year, or lala or smu next year. If he pulls a win out of his arse in one of those games, he expects us and the admin to get off his back for another 2 years.

Umm, like al gore, you might want to call for a recount on that one.

Tha armah of tha suthan' dummah has suffahed dafeet.

Yeah, kinda like having your conference champ getting blown out 3 out of 4 years, one of those going to a bowl with a losing record.

King, you're pissin into the wind my friend. Many have listed exactly what you just typed, but it does no good. To some, if you do not support dd without bliders, you are a bandwagon fan jumping off.

I agree I dont want the shortwhornes playing for the chamionship, but I really dont want USC to win again. Maybe it will all work out for the best.

I do believe we have a new favorite in the SBC.

Wow, I guess dd really does read and post on the board.
