That's their logo

Glad to see the MUTS attendance number. They have struggled for years, even with a "sexy" team.

Tomlin to safety? Really? Where did you hear that? Just curious, because he's a pretty solid LB.

Hurricane alert, hurricane alert.

I tried to access shopmeangreen.com but it appears to be down.

I'm 50!

Man, you are old I'll be 42 in a month. Happy Birthday FFR!

As the old Bud commercial goes, "True, True." Back to the scouting of Navy, their QB can fly and I'm worried what he will do when he turns the corner. If ULL's QB can do what he did, then this young man could set records against us. Hopefully we have our defensive issues worked out by then.

I'm sure Under Armour will be stocked soon. They are probably just clearing out old inventory.

I wasn't going to respond and still don't think I need to considering "bigntex" and his/her remarks. I will respond to the above though. I didn't tell you when, what or how to post. I did say that you should stick with your basketball analysis, because you have proven knowledgable in that area. What I meant by that was that I disagreed wholeheartedly with your assessment of Vizza. Sorry, I'm sure it came out wrong, but I was worn out with some of the knee-jerk comments on here. My point is that a ballplayer doesn't rack up awards and wins and get recruited by programs that Vizza was without talent. You, by your comments, were ready to cast him off in to the scrap heap after his 1st collegiate start. It takes time to adjust to the speed of the game and to calm your nerves. Plus, you don't throw for 384 yards and a couple of touchdowns without talent. Your comments seemed to say that Riley will walk in and set the world on fire from day one. I just don't see that happening. He needs to mature physically and also adjust to the speed of D1A ball. I've watched Riley for a long time and am excited that he is here, but I am also excited to have Vizza and think he deserves more than one start before deciding on his future. In my opinion, everyone needs to cool their expectations on this season and realize what Todd Dodge inherited. Just for a reminder, a team that won 5 games the last two years that needs to be taught how to win, a team with 3 WR's on scholarship when his offense utilizes 4 and a team recruited to a run based offense when he runs a passing system. You don't change these things overnight and we shouldn't expect that. I am impressed with the freshmen on this team that he recruited in 17 days. I'm impressed with the early verbal committments, and I'm sure I'll be impressed with the entire class once signing day rolls around. I also realize that the players recruited specifically for TD's program are freshmen this year, will be freshmen, redshirt freshmen or sophmores next year. It could take a year or two to turn this entirely around. What I am disappointed in is the perfomance of the defense, but I also think that will be taken care of shortly. TD is not one to call out his players or coaches publicly like Mike Leach. I'm sure he and Mendoza are working hard to correct the issues with the defense. I also believe that TD has made it perfectly clear to Mendoza that he is gone if they don't improve and produce better results. Again, sorry for making you mad. I was just worn out with all of the negative crap on this board at the time.

Whenever I watch Navy, I think of when we turned down Coach Johnson for the head coaching position years ago.

I'll believe the kids that have played for him for years over a poster on gmg.com. The kids that have played for him sure seem to respect him and love playing for him.

I would love to see Holman or Mahan in the middle.

Hope you are right. ULM has a pretty stout running game.

Word of advice. Don't utilize "hump day" in response to one of Quoner's posts.

25? Luby's for dinner is the best!

Why?

1. It is a rebuilding year on both sides of the ball. 2. No changes will be made with a coaching staff mid-season.

TFLF, I admire you for your opinions, but I think you have to give people a fair shake. Dr. B hasn't even here a full year, TD has been her roughly 10 months and RV had a mess to clean up when he arrived and worked under a restrictive system for the last 6 years. They can't undo over a half a decade's worth of mistakes in a couple of months. Give these people a chance to right the ship. Dr. B and TD haven't been here long enough to make noticable changes, so let's look at a few of RV's: New AC New Softball field New turf, scoreboard and yearly improvements to Fouts while working on fundraising for a new stadium. New tennis facility New soccer facility New volleyball facility New floor in the Super Pit More large single donations than NT has ever seen. Purchase and conversion of Liberty Christian Campus Allowing tailgating on campus Is he perfect? No, but who is? Trying to overcome years and years of neglect is difficult. Trying to overcome years and years of not reaching out to the alumni is difficult. Don't gripe about them asking us to give. Alumni giving is what makes the world go round in collegiate athletics. Telling us that they've sold us out and they don't know what they are doing is ridiculous at this point.

Shouldn't you be worried about the Broncos? I could refer a couple of replacements.

What did they talk about? Anything enlightening?

If you only agree with his points on other school's making progress then state that. In your first response you agreed with the entire post and started it by agreeing the Dr. B, the BOR, RV, etc... have sold us out. You flip-flopping on that now? What have I stated that is foolish? Assistants? You also agree with Finch about having a staff full of high school coaches. Coaches LaCroix, Peterson, Gandy, Rausch, Vestal and Leftwich might find that amusing considering they all have college experience. Your arguements are baseless and your don't know what you are talking about half the time.

So an illegal play is the rightful response to a legal play? I don't agree with the chop block, but it is legal.
