  1. I may be wrong, but I think this was the general intent of Harry & Co. when they started this board. Then again, it is just as easy to make a point without a MF or F bomb.
  2. Shouldn't this be on the Iowa State board?
  3. Uh, too bad Deloach isn't in charge of the special teams.
  4. With JUCO's that come in as upperclassmen. Also, Troy isn't known for their academics, so I would guess entrance is relatively easy.
  5. And, thank goodness they are the same race. No telling what accusations would come forth should that not be the case.
  6. Turner Gill signed an extension at Buffalo and won't be going to Iowa State.
  7. Go back and look at the roster from 2003-2004. Click on our starters, Blount, Awasome, Cobbs, Knowlton, etc..., and look at their bio. Most of them gained experience as backups throughout their freshman year, not as starters. They had upperclassmen players to look up to and to learn from, as well as coaches to develop their talent. This is all I'm saying. Our current freshmen are thrown in as starters and are learning on the fly instead of learning from upperclassmen.
  8. So what's the big deal? I may be missing something, but this seems like a non-issue.
  9. That would be my point also. I'm still waiting on someone to explain to me the thawing of the ice age.
  10. The Iraqui's. It is a show of disrespect. They did the same to Saddam's stature when the U.S. troops pulled it down.
  11. It is the same at every level, but this seems to be lost on some of our fans. High school juniors and seniors are better than freshmen and sophmores. That is why there is a JV team. The same goes for professional football. Yes, the other teams have the same percentage, or close to it, of freshmen and sophmores on their roster as NT does, but those kids aren't starting. Patrick Cobbs was able to spell Kevin Galbreath for two years and get used to D1 ball. You don't think that made him more successful when he was a Junior and Senior? The jump from HS to D1 college football is a large one, and one of the reasons so many teams redshirt their freshmen class. It allows the kids to mature, get used to college life/being away from home and adjust to the speed of the game.
  12. I would feel pretty confident in stating that his weight is not helping the issue: Yahoo Sports
  13. It says last year's class were true freshmen and need time to mature. Look around at any team and the majority of starters are Jr.'s and Sr.'s. It would be ideal to RS almost every freshman class to build depth, something we are sorely lacking. Signing these JUCO's hopefully allows some of these young men from the last two classes to mature and be worked in to the lineup not thrown in the fire. It's really not that hard to comprehend.
  14. If this is to be LEED certified, why not ask the builder to perform some of this project at cost and then allow them to use it as a showcase for future stadiums? Someone mentioned this earlier on the board and I think it is a great idea.
  15. I don't know what we would do if you weren't here to criticize everyone's AD and their hiring practices. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
  16. Good story. I wish him nothing but the best.
  17. Interesting, I work in construction in Houston and steel is less than $3.00 per stick down from almost $5.00 per stick just two months ago, concrete is down a few dollars a load and companies are removing their fuel surcharge with deseil down a little, but nothing like gasoline.
  18. What's your connection to OU? Maybe you should temper your man crush on the Sooners considering you are posting on a North Texas board.
  19. I forgot about Hamilton, and I love his potential, and I didn't include Cam since he would be gone by the time McGuffie is eligible.
  20. With 3 or 4 concussions in a short time, I would pass. Besides, with Mosley, Dunbar and Mathis, I'm pretty with our RB situation.
  21. Now that would be objective.
  22. Considering my wife is just a few years north of 40, I'd advise against this. Then again, maybe you'd like to live the remaining years of your life as a eunuch!
  23. Not trying to argue, but why not? Some claim it is happening while others say it isn't.
