The Sun Belt Conference is sponsoring an NCAA proposal that would allow teams from conferences that don’t have a championship game to play a game at the end of the season in lieu of a championship game.

Offense is for show. DEFENSE wins games

A couple of memorable stories. Loyal Dog Mourns Fallen Navy Seal (Video) http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/man-best-friend-mourns-death-175219915.html AND ANOTHER FROM MY AREA (SOUTH TEXAS) Local Marine killed by sniper and his war buddy Pfc. Colton Rusk always talked about his loyal bomb-sniffing black lab, Eli, when he called home When Pfc. Colton Rusk was shot by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan last December, his loyal explosives-sniffing dog, Eli, rushed to his side and crawled on top of him to protect him, according to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. Eli even snapped at other Marines who rushed over to help Rusk. Tragically, Rusk, 20, didn’t make it. Eli could have been sent off to a new handler. After all, he’s only 4 years old, was uninjured, and has thousands of dollars worth of training invested in him. The day Rusk died, Eli had already sniffed out two explosives. But a plea from Rusk’s family in Texas changed Eli’s future. The commander of Rusk’s unit knew of Rusk’s very special bond with Eli. Sniffer dogs are supposed to sleep in kennels. But Rusk often broke the rules and let him sleep with him on his cot, according to the Huffington Post. Sometimes the dog took up the entire sleeping bag, but Rusk didn’t mind.. Rusk had grown up with dogs on his family’s 100-acre ranch in South Texas, and Eli was almost like a second skin to him. Rusk ate ready-to-eat meals, therefore so did Eli. Based on their strong bond, and the family’s pleas (on their own and through influential politicians), the commander of Rusk’s unit recommended Eli for retirement and adoption by Rusk’s parents and brothers. It’s only the second adoption to the family of a military dog handler killed in combat, reports the Caller Brady Rusk, 12, clung to his brother's best friend when they met at Lackland Air Force Base on Thursday.

If so, how could this affect North Texas ? http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/aug/24/will-big-12-poach-mountain-west/

"Why not North Texas" ? http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/25/smu-hikes-up-its-skirt-openly-flirts-with-big-12/

Sad. She's a living legend.

Then they have seven home games this year. However the ESPN schedule shows "Kentucky vs WKU". No big deal. http://espn.go.com/college-football/schedule

WKU & Kentucky play in Nashville, TN. Doesn't show as a "home game" for either.

Understand that the student section has 8,000 seats. With the new stadium opening, could more students be attending the opener ? If so, where will they be seated ? The end-zone wing ? Thoughts.

Don't many schools have closed fall practices and scrimmages ? I'm sure that coach Mac has good reasons to close practices and scrimmages to the public.

John Sparks is a 40-year veteran of television news and currently a professor at the Mayborn School of Journalism at the University of North Texas. His work in breaking the SMU pay-for-play story in 1986 resulted in the NCAA issuing its first and only death penalty to a college football program.

Beleive the student section seats 8,000. If there is a larger number of students at the game, where would they sit ? In the end-zone tail ?

Maybe the interviewer has a chip on his shoulder ? I used to get a parking pass in the small lot right by the Fouts press box. I didn't last year. I had to park in the lot across from the Super Pit with the tailgate crowd. Parking at Fouts vs Apogee http://meangreenblog.dentonrc.com/

Can he make folks forget Darius Carey ? Mean Green Gang sez he's gonna surprise this season. Quick, shifty, with size and he's making catches. What do ya think ? http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=9053&SPID=562&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=1800&ATCLID=204977440&Q_SEASON=2011

Off the Froggie board. Interesting with their recent success. Guess Dallas is just ignoring the Ponies. Will we put more butts in seats this year than the Ponies ? More than possible, probably ! http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/college-sports/smu-mustangs/20110817-smu-athletic-director-steve-orsini-pleads-for-more-ticket-sales.ece
