Chuck Norris?

Probably in the endzone with some orangebloods (my wife included). I'll make it around to the Green section for a while. I heard we sent back 1,500 tickets.

Defense: As with any football game it's all in the trenches. We might be outgunned here, but I want to see effective blitzing by our LB's to counter that. If we can just make the Texas QB rush his throw a little... He's already excited, we just have to get to him. This will be the same defensive game plan for every Texas opponent until Colt McCoy proves himself. For us, that means the LB position, which we are supposed to be deep at, will have to make big plays. Our LB play is also big b/c during a run you have to fill those gaps! Offense: Can our O-line block for JMo and is he back to form? Will Phillips stand in the pocket too long and get blindsided by a Texas DE, or will he throw a perfect strike to Johnny Quinn. And if he does, will he catch it? These questions, and many more, will be answered on the next episode of SOAP! In reality I know what needs to be done, but I've not seen the ability to do it in big games. We need to have a good mix of run and pass. Stay in bounds and run clock. To do that we have to win in the trenches. Special Teams: We get screwed by special teams a lot. So does Texas. So how is it, that many of our punters have gone on to NFL careers? Stay away from trick plays, and hang on to the ball. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said Harry. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm assuming the battle came down b/w Wilson and Phillips. Could WW outrun the Texas D? Or does it matter? Afterall, we're just going to hand off to JaMo. Or do we REALLY change the gameplan...? GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!

Is the demand for this game really that high? I expect to go to the game, but I've not thought about tickets yet.

Now to hijack a thread... Is it possible that with DD's recent health issues he has a different frame of mind? I'm just speaking from personal experience, but once I quit smoking, started exercising, and generally taking care of my body it seemed as though every aspect of my life got better, mentally and physically. When I listened to dd interviewed on the radio in Austin 2 years ago he just wanted the team to get out of Austin unharmed. This year he seemed a little more positive. He acknowledged that we were overmatched, but had encouraged the team to go out and fight for every play. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Party Friday night at the Double Tree Hotel beginning at 7pm. Saturday morning tailgate at Waterloo Park beginning at 8am. Here's the link Hope to see you there! GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!

I have more hope than 2 years ago, but not by much. I say Texas 45 NT 3 Our first play will be a JMo sweep to the right for no gain. I've seen a little of the Texas QB's practice and they are both gunslingers. Texas will try to make this game an air attack. If we don't succesfully blitz, or cover, it's gonna get ugly quick. You know, 6 years ago when we had our stellar defense I actually had hope that we'd give them a good game, and we did. Man, I miss that defense. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eeally, Did we spot each other on 183, or was that another greenbacker? GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!

Me to Cop: "You didn't give me a drunk test. You didn't read me my rights. You can't take me to jail. I know my rights!"? Cop to me: "Son, if you know your rights so well, why are you in the back of my patrol car?" Me to self: Uhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm. Well............ End of argument. Young, arrogant and inebriated is not a good combination. Or to quote Animal House, "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son." I think I've grown up a bit since then. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!

Yeah, I saw it. I guess I've grown numb to it. I used to get excited when NT was even mentioned, now I want to see more positive stories. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS!!!!!!!!

Good News. It's nice to have you back. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT TEXAS!!!!!!!!!

Get well soon.

It's "sense" not "since". Thank you, but I'm campaigning for someone else. My wife will be happy with your enthusiasm, though. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!

I might be interested, but I won't know until Tues. I will probably have seats in the UT section, but will sneak over with the Mean Green faithful. If you get another offer, don't wait on my slow ass. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!

Despite what my birth certificate says I think I'll be like Jack Benny and be perpetually 39. All I want for my birthday is a game plan against OOC opponents. More specifically, a winning game plan against SMU. It looks like I get to come to Denton a lot more this year than I did last year. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Dickey's on at 2:20. I get to hear him. Yea!

I'm gonna miss a big chunck of the 2nd hour b/c I have a sick puppy dog and have to take her to the vet. Please keep me updated. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS!!!!!!!!!

Rob, I get what your saying, but I disagree that it will affect our attendance. As a student I went to commerce street the Friday before the RedRiver Shootout, but rarely went to the game itself primarily b/c I couldn't afford it. Students today surely can't afford it. Plus, most of the people who attend the TX/OU game aren't coming to Fouts in the first place. If the games were played at the same time we would definitely experience an attendance sag b/c average football fans would stay home to watch TX/OU on tv and not come to Fouts. Rather than focus on a negative why not look at a positive? If you're an average football fan in Denton and don't have a ticket to TX/OU you are probably going to watch the game at home, then later want to experience some college ball first hand. Well, we've got that plus it's homecoming, so there is a little extra incentive to go to the game. Let us not forget the OU faithful. They will not be stopping by Fouts on the way home, but they will surely see that a game is going on, and just may tune into the game on the radio for a bit. After all, we do play them next year. Any exposure is good exposure, right? For that matter many Sooner faithful will be traveling through Denton the night before as the bonfire is going on. I assume it's visible from I-35 (one of my many regrets is that I've never attended bonfire. I know, I'm sorry.); once again, it will peak some OU interest and any exposure is good exposure. I guess the jist of my argument is this: Dallas will be flooded with football fans. They may not be Mean Green fans, but it's a great opportunity to try and tap into that market. There is nothing we can do to change the schedule now, so lets make the most of what we have. There is also the argument that if we play Texas a good game, both Texas fans and OU fans will be interested in what is going on in Denton. OK, It's 12:45 and Dickey is on the radio in just over an hour. I've got to go. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!

Emmitt, I think there may be royalty/copyright issues. I'm not sure they can put a tv network on the jumbotron unless they work it out (pay the network) ahead of time. You have the right idea, though. I'm not sure this is a major conflict as far as attendence is concerned. I may try and attend both. At the very least I'll watch the TX/OU game while tailgating.
