I understand this is your opinion, but I don't see how on earth Notre Dame, Cowboys, Yanks, or Lakers mean anything to the rest of their respective leagues outside the fans of those programs. In fact, I will go as far as to say that the way the Yankees operate is actually BAD for MLB. I could care less if any of those teams ever won another game, but that's just my opinion I see your point however. All feels 'normal' when UND, Nebraska and Penn State are at least competitive, as they are some of the traditional powers. I do agree with you on your point on significance of bowl games. Notre Dame (whether deservedly is debatable) plays in much higher profile bowls than many of the 87 teams that have played and won a bowl since their last. Regarding Notre Dame, they played about as well as they have all year when facing top opponents. I mean, is anyone really surprised they lost by 2+ TDs? Topic at hand, I think the game evolves and changes in football as it does in all sports. Good coaches see this and adapt, the ones that don't get passed by. Look no further than Dickey and Parcells for evidence, locally.

thanks!

same here

Id like to have access as well!

I dunno, at 2-9 and 3-8 in the SBC, I kind of operate under the assumption that it can't get much worse...

source?

Ditto. Plus, I live in Houston, which means I cant have an educated opinion on anything that happens in DFW.

OU was a few bad calls away from being in the national hunt as another one-loss team, whereas Pitt backed/limped into a BCS bowl game in the worst BCS conference that year. Thats the difference

I don't know his personal situation so I won't pass judgment on him as a person, but I am of the opinion that when you make a commitment to do something you should honor it. This constant jumping from bed to bed for whoever offers the most money is pathetic And it's just one more reason I can't stand the University of Alabama.

well, just goes to show there are 2 ways to tell every story... but for the most part, I think the article was pretty well-written, couldn't have said it better myself

Maybe not. But if Boise State was in the big 12, they'd be pulling Big 12 caliber recruits. It's the same nonsense we heard about Patrick Cobbs and Jamario Thomas. "Well they did it against Sun Belt defenses. If they played a Big 12 schedule, they would never gain that many yards" Yeah, and they also did it behind a sun belt O-line. Imagine one of those guys with UT or OU's O-line... Its a stupid argument because its impossible to know how it would have worked out. All we know is Boise won every game they played. They did the best you can do. That should count for something. I'll be disappointed if they aren't #2 in the final poll.

hope this comes to fruition!

Wasson wasnt very good at the Div 1AA level. Granted he rode the bench with Vince-lite starting, his stats over his 3 years in college were far from impressive.

its not unethical, its the way the recruiting game is played. Yeah, it sucks, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a person on this board that would object to us coming into the recruiting game this late and stealing someone's commits. I think we'd be celebrating it

oh come on, I am certainly not the first to make a comment on something else in a thread and I tried to steer it back in the right direction after I responded!

I would think so. Seriously, I dont want to jack the thread, but the Spring game would require only a minimal amount of effort from the Athletic Department to make it a nice saturday afternoon event. Open the restrooms, sell hotdogs (or have an organization set up shop and cook up a ton) for a a buck or two, and give away soft drinks. Hell, you could probably find someone to donate the stuff. Regarding the thread, I like the switch back to the 4-3. And I agree with FFR, I think our D is going to be pretty good next year, especially the secondary.

Good points. I'd love to see it.

me too. PLEASE. For the fans that dont live in the DFW area, make this a big event!

I freaking love this idea.

such greatness

I have an emerging maple syrup conglomerate in Vermont

The same thing happened to Texas the last 2 out of 3 years. Its just the way these things go. I think it has EVERYTHING to do with Snead leaving and Brantley de-committing in favor of Florida. As to why he would pick Texas over Baylor, well that's pretty easy. Texas will be mentioned in the national title race most of this kid's college career whereas Baylor will be lucky to even get to a bowl game. That's just the unfortunate reality of the situation.

just wanted to say thanks for all the responses, it has been a tremendous help!

thanks for the info I've been checking eBay periodically, in fact I purchased 2 of the ones I have from vendors on there, but I have yet to find any of the light green "flying worm" minis worn ~73-82.

you aren't the only one!
