Isn't that what you are doing?

College football’s play, game clocks will echo NFL’s Chad Peters - Express-News Thanks to a pair of rules changes that were approved in the offseason, college football's play and game clocks will more closely mirror the NFL's this fall. That could produce a faster-paced and shorter game, but could also lead to lower scores and fewer offensive plays. A so-called “40/25”-second play clock will be implemented, while changes also will affect how the game clock operates when a player runs out of bounds. Under the new play-clock rules, teams will have 40 seconds to snap the ball after a play is blown dead. Following administrative stops, such as change of possession and timeouts, teams will have 25 seconds. The old rule allowed teams 25 seconds for the snap once the official spotted the ball. Texas coach Mack Brown said the play-clock alteration could force teams that call most of their plays in a huddle to adjust. “We feel like if you're a conventional offense ... it's gonna cost you plays, no question,” Brown said. “You can probably gain some plays, even as fast as that clock will move now with the 40 seconds, if you go no-huddle. That's one of the real tough things we've got to study here.” The other change in the rules involved the game clock, which keeps track of time in four, 15-minute quarters. This year, the clock will stop when a runner goes out of bounds, but will restart when the official marks the ball ready for play. Previously, the clock stopped when a runner went out of bounds and didn't restart until the next snap. Under the new rules, two-minute offenses will be protected by the old rule. The changes — the third in as many years geared toward altering the length of games — drew mostly praise from Brown and Texas A&M's Mike Sherman. Both were in San Antonio on Tuesday for the Texas High School Coaches Association's annual coaching school. Sherman, in his first season at A&M after spending the past 11 years in the NFL, said he is comfortable with the 40-25 play clock because it mirrors NFL rules. “Initially, college coaches may be a little bit nervous because of the clock ticking down, but I think it's going to give it more consistency in how the game's officiated,” Sherman said. “I think that was the intent more than anything else.” The old rule allowed for a lack of uniformity in the time that officials took to spot the ball. “There was such a variance between different crews with the (play) clock,” Sherman said. “This will just make it more even from crew to crew. That's really the only thing that I see.” Brown said the change forced the Longhorns into experimentation with their offense during spring training. “When we would huddle up in the spring and go by the 40-second clock, we were really close to delay of games if you broke the huddle on time and you got to the line of scrimmage and you tried to check,” he said. “I mean, you're in trouble. That's a huge effect on the offense.”

I would add that Fouts was built in 1952 (not sure of the exact date), and it's obsolete and antiqated and it's location along I-35 makes it the most visable structure on the UNT campus. Thousands pass by it everyday and having such an obsolete and antiquated facility creates a poor public image of the university. Poor public image = lessened value of your degree

Looks a lot like 6 man football

If we don't have a new stadium by 2010..... I'm done

Not to mention the ultimate in politics of fear... A tv ad showing a little girl counting the petals on a daisy, transposed to an image of a nuclear explosion & mushroom cloud. Giving the message that the other guy is going to start a nuclear war. This was an actual ad run by the Dem's during a presidential election. It proved to be so upsetting in only ran one time. So when it comes to the politics of fear....there is a lot to go around.

I was given a copy as a gift, I attached a link in my post where you could get a copy. It's worth the price... http://www.ppgthemovie.com/

RESOLVED- It's currently running on HBO, It's about the ubber competive world of high school debate. As an alumnus from the activity I identified with a lot of it and even saw people I know in the film. In the end I came to agree and root for the protagionist in the film. (There's even a UNT mention in the film!) From IMDB "The fascinating complexity of high school debate gives way to a portrait of the equally complex racial and class bias of American education in Greg Whiteley's riveting documentary. Initially a portrait of top-flight debaters from well-funded, mostly white schools-like nationally ranked Sam Iola and Matt Andrews of Highland Park, Texas-the film deepens when it changes focus to Richard Funches and Louis Blackwell from Long Beach's Jordan squad. While gifted traditional debaters in their own right, the two decide to challenge the usefulness of the jargon-filled, 400-word-per-minute style of modern debate (known as "the spread") by steering their debates toward issues of personal experience and dialogue.... Contrasting Fuches and Blackwell's attempt to challenge the system with Andrews' relentless pursuit to excel in it and win the prestigious Tournament of Champions, Whiteley deftly explores the disparities between the debaters, their styles, and their resources. Alternately inspiring and polarizing, Resolved reveals a constantly shifting sport that is as much philosophy as competition. - Travis Miles (Los Angeles Film Festival) Go Tigers! - IMDB "Go Tigers!"is a rare behind-the-scenes chronicling of a remarkable season for the Massillon Tigers high school football team, played out in a small rustbelt town that draws its identity from football. During the course of the season, THREE YOUNG STARS emerge who are forced to carry the burden of the town and their teammates as they confront their uncertain future." Friends of God As an evangelical christian I began to watch this one expecting a slam, mocking, or misunderstanding film. I have to admit it wasnt the case. Pelosi may not have the same beliefs as her film subjects, but she isn't disrespectful of them. From IMDB " Documentary filmmaker Alexandria Pelosi tours red state America examining the practices, politics and beliefs of fundamentalist evangelical Christians. Interviewees include Jerry Falwell ...and Ted Haggard, disgraced former leader of the National Association of Evangelicals, and members of the Christian professional wrestling circuit.

San Marcos Daily Record Bobcats hire new assistant From staff reports Texas State University head football coach Brad Wright has named Mike Bugar as the new defensive line coach for the Bobcats. Bugar comes to Texas State after serving seven seasons as the interior defensive line coach at North Texas from 2000-07. “We are very excited to have Mike Bugar as our defensive line coach,” Wright said. “He brings an unbelievable wealth of knowledge and experience to our staff. He also will help enhance the same “mentality” that we began to implement in our program this past January.” During his last six years at North Texas, Bugar produced seven All-Sun Belt Conference selections, including two-time Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Brandon Kennedy. The Mean Green also led the Sun Belt in every major defensive statistical category three times during that span. In 2002, the defense ranked No. 3 nationally in scoring defense and No. 9 in total defense. From 2001-2003, only five opposing players rushed for over 100 yards in a game against Bugar’s front line. His defensive front also helped hold opponents to just 104.7 yards per game rushing in 2003, which is the school’s best average since 1967. Bugar joined North Texas in 2000 as the program’s strength and conditioning coordinator and became the team’s interior defensive line coach in 2001. He has over 31 years of experience in coaching the defensive line and strength and conditioning. A three-year letter winner and 1969 graduate of Florida State University, Bugar began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater in 1970. He also has served on the staffs at Wofford College (1971-76); Gardner Webb College (1977); Clemson University (1977-79); University of Florida (1980-82); West Georgia College (1985-87); Southern Miss (1988-89); LSU (1990-93); Baylor (1994-96); Mary Hardin-Baylor (1998); and Jacksonville State (1999). In addition, he spent one year in the professional coaching ranks as defensive line coach for the Arizona Wranglers of the USFL in 1983. He has coached under Curley Hallman at LSU, Danny Ford at Clemson and Charley Pell at Florida during his career. He has coached for schools that appeared in 13 bowl games, including the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 New Orleans Bowls (North Texas), 1994 Alamo (Baylor); 1990 All-American (Southern Mississippi); 1988 Independence (Southern Mississippi); 1982 Astro Bluebonnet (Florida); 1981 Peach (Florida); 1980 Tangerine (Florida); 1979 Peach (Clemson); 1978 Gator (Clemson); and 1977 Gator (Clemson). During Bugar’s playing days at Florida State, the Seminoles participated in four bowl games - 1964 Gator; 1966 Sun; 1967 Gator, and 1968 Peach.

Why? It's not like the game isn't played in other locations. While it's most frequently played in Philly, last years game was in Baltimore. The game has also been played at West Point, Annapolis, New York City, The Meadowlands, and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena CA

Thats what I was trying to inply... Raise those taxes and economic growth will slow (even more than it already has) = lousy market for us all

Hey if you really want to kill any alternative energy sources, just let Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, et. al. pass the windfall profits tax on oil companies. A big chunk of the record profits oil companies have been making are spent funding research and developement. That's not limited to finding more oil. R&D in the energy industry is also about exploring new and alternative energy sources. But if the WFP tax returns (and we all saw what a success it was during the Carter administration), if the tax returns the first place energy companies start to curb spending will be R&D. While we're at it, forget the slow growth of the economy, lets raise the capital gains tax and the corporate income tax as well.... nothing like taxing investors to keep an economy growing. Afterall only rich people own stocks right? Those bastards can afford it! It's not like the average american has any money in 401k's

The following is a Q&A from the Shreveport Times: Q: You have a couple of football players, Ramone Randle and Rolando Melancon, who are expected to be major cogs in your defensive line this fall. Both are struggling academically, so will they be eligible for 2008? A: Both of those guys were academic risks when they came here and we really won't know their status until August. We have the necessary support around them and we hope they make it. Every year there are certain guys who need some work in the summer. It's certainly a concern about whether they make it. That's why you recruit for depth and numbers. We give them a thorough evaluation. We only take a couple a year like that because it's too much of a risk." WOW... I guess Dooley isn't too concerned with the privacy issue on student's academics. Most coaches would just say they can't comment on individual students academics, I wonder why Dooley didn't? I'm not sure if this crosses the line but I think it's certainly close to it. This guy seems to be developing a pattern of shooting his mouth off without thinking first.

I'm sorry but just because you work with someone doesn't make them "a true friend". Especially when you habitually lie to them. Thats' not what a 'true friend' does. And if you treat people like that how can you expect them to act like a friend when you need them? We reap what we sow

Depends on the uniform... An old story is that when Bo Schembechler was hired at Michigan he stood up at his first booster meeting and said "first thing I'm going to do is change those helmets".... Needless to say his comment was met by silence. Bo knew not to mess with tradition then. When Lou Holtz went to Notre Dame he wanted to put an intlocked ND on the gold helmet. Then he was informed the golden helmet was a representation of the golden dome on campus and it wouldn't be allowed.

It hasn't been competitive in YEARS. Even in JFK's days... "But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon....we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,.." John F Kennedy 9/12/62

Personally, I've never been a fan of JAS at La Tech. First, I have SERIOUS doubts that it's capacity is 30k. I compare it to high school stadium Mesquite Memorial that only seats 20k. You cant tell me the little metal sections they added to La Tech (which are covered by tarps) pushed capacity to 30k. I think whoever did the counting fudged the numbers. Given my druthers... I'd take Mesquite Memorial. It's a much nicer stadium than JAS, has a modern scoreboard w/ video screen, better sightlines and probably seats more.

No matter how bad you may think our situation is..... it could always get worse Fundraising on the Tx State board...

it's how many points DITKA would score!

With recent announcment of scheduled games against SMU and ARMY I was wondering which opponent do look forward to playing most? Both will be good for attendance, I'm glad to see SMU back on the schedule. It's a good local rivalry, with little travel cost. But I'm more stoked at the series against ARMY. The service acadamies always draw well, and with the return game in West Point, it gives me a chance to see a game there (something I've wanted to do for awhile now) . I've already told my wife we'll be taking a vacation to New York in the fall of 2010. Thoughts??????

Dennis Parker He's the head football coach at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin. I heard him today do a short interview on the local radio station here in New Braunfels. Parker is hosting a football camp this summer at TLU. Also at the camp will be former UNT and NFL punter Toby Gowin.
