Summer time it is okay tho ( to work) ; Bomar is not the first or will he be the last to get caught. Im sure someone anyone could dig up some dirt on every major football player at every BCS school.

He would have to sit out a year then still have 3 yrs left. Wouldnt be called a redshirt however.

Damn give the kid a break ( Bomar). We have all been a 19/20yr old broke college student at one time. Im sure that 90% of the people on this board would have done the samething as Bomar did. Football players do not have the xtra time to work between practices and class work , so therefore are pretty much broke. Just put yourself in his or any other 20 yr old college students shoes , some guy says hey show up at my dealership for a few hours and Ill give ya $5000. How many on this board could honestly say they would have said no if you were a college kid?? Id would of took Bomar here (we all need a 2nd chance) or Snead , but to do that we have to have a coach who is willing to put more than 2 pass plays in the playbook.

I heard a rumor the Yankees & Red Sox are in a bidding war for the Dragons logo. Bidding has hit 40 million just to try to negotiate a deal with the desinger

If he's named new HC .....anyone want to buy my 2007 Season tickets ??

Sad apart of that is , I can recall at least 3 UAB home games over the past 2 or 3 yrs on the Duece. Same result everytime, Lots of Aluminum even though they always seem to be in contention for a bowl bid. I like to think that if we were on the Duece once a year with something to play for we could somewhat pack the house.

I dont know if he was fired or stepped down or what , but he now is the DC of USC. I think thats an upgrade from Idaho http://usctrojans.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl...olt_nick00.html

Damn , good notice. Your right , The Cable was cut off in 2003. Oh those days of 50+ points in Idaho!!

8 of the 11 new head coaches saw improvement with new team in 2006. http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/coachin...anges_2006.html 1 of the new coaches who declined in wins from the previous seasons really shouldnt count. Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern took over due to death , not a firing.

I believe it was Nov 8th. I remember because I went on a partying binge when I heard the news and passed out for a few days. When I woke I seem to remember it was Nov. 11th

* Getting someone from the Marketing or Athletics departments to do anything is a CHALLENGE it seems *If ANYONE from NT had a problem and actually did anything legal against something like this then Id have to find a new school to go root for. Damn that means id have to go to grad school or something. * New logo looks tight!!

FINALLY !!!! Some Love ,outside of myself, for Koetter. People on here have bitched about not being a "Boise St. type of team" for awhile & here is the guy who helped turned the program into what it is today , yet nobody seems to give 2 cents about the guy. Maybe he would exceed the asking price ???

Whatever it is , its not enough

LooKs GooD to Me!

DiTTo

Im pretty sure Troy takes care of FIU this week.

These are the top 5 most common names that I am seeing. Again, this poll is what you THINK, not want. If you chose other, please tell who it is. Thanks

Actually McGwire admitted to only of usingAndro , which at the time was legal by Baseball standards then. I used Andro when I use to work out and a person could buy legally over the counter. But other than just homerun power he didnt do anything else special. But yes , his 85 Topps RC is a classic

Upset Brewing ?????

Any Baseball Fans ?

Thank you , Ive been beatin my brain on that one. I was going to give up and just say it was a boulder representing Colorado

ATTENTION FOLKS!!! Dirk Koetter is now available. I would think a board for a mid-major school would be drooling over this guy. Maybe some of you don't know who he is. He built the Boise St. program into a powerhouse in 1998. Boise was 6-17 in its first 2 years in D-I under 3 different coaches ( one being Houston Nutt). Koetter took over and helped turn the program around winning 26 games in the next 3 years including 2 Bowl victories over Louisville & UTEP. Can I get some love for this guy ??

11:24 PM CST on Sunday, November 26, 2006 Brett Vito/Staff Writer Sometime in the next few days, Rick Villarreal’s legacy as athletic director at North Texas will, for all intents and purposes, be etched in stone. The former pizza mogul has dramatically improved UNT's facilities and built enthusiasm for the program since he arrived in the spring of 2001 from Southern Miss. When it comes down to it, though, Villarreal will be remembered largely for the moment he steps to the podium and announces that he has selected the Mean Green's next football coach who will be … South Carolina defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix? … Southlake Carroll head coach and former UNT offensive coordinator Todd Dodge? The decision is pretty much Villarreal's to make, although university president Gretchen Bataille will be involved with the pick and the board of regents must approve the hire. Villarreal's decision could make or break a program that seems to have reached a turning point. UNT won four straight Sun Belt Conference titles from 2001-04 under former head coach Darrell Dickey, whose tenure ended Saturday in a loss to Louisiana-Monroe after nine seasons. The school dismissed Dickey on Nov. 8, midway through his second straight down year. UNT lost some momentum over the last two years but not all of it. There is still more interest in the program now than before Dickey began his run, and there certainly is a better situation for the Mean Green's next football coach to work with. Villarreal helped set up UNT's next coach with better facilities, including the Mean Green Athletic Center and new practice fields, additions Dickey helped make a reality by landing a $1 million donation from Houston businessman Jim McIngvale. UNT's fan base is larger and number of donors involved with the program is greater, thanks partly to Villarreal. Back-to-back losing football seasons didn’t stop Shirley and Al Goldfield from making a $1.5 million donation last week that ranks as the largest in the history of the Mean Green athletic program. The funds will help UNT with the early stages of a campaign for a new football stadium that will only make replacing Dickey a more attractive possibility for the right coach. UNT's next coach could take the program and lift it past the level the Mean Green reached in the height of the Dickey era and help make the dream of a new stadium a reality by resorting enthusiasm to the program and helping establish relationships with potential donors. Expectations are high, but for the right coach the stage seems set for what could be a quick turnaround. Dickey said as much after he coached his last game on Saturday, when UNT finished 3-9. “There is some very good young talent here and 19 starters returning," Dickey said. "Whoever comes in is going to inherit some very talented young men who gained some valuable experience the last two years." UNT lost just one starter on defense after its loss to ULM in defensive lineman Sky Pruitt. The Mean Green will miss wide receiver Johnny Quinn, one of the best players in school history but returns just about everyone else on offense. While the potential is there for a turnaround, there is also danger of UNT's slide continuing. Dickey didn’t leave a ready-made winner. UNT’s next coach will have to find a workable quarterback situation, something Dickey wasn’t able to do in his last two seasons. He will also need to upgrade UNT’s offensive and defensive lines and replenish the Mean Green’s depleted corps of receivers. Both are challenges that could be met by the right coach. UNT has already contacted Nix. Dodge said he is willing to listen to Villarreal if he wants to talk after Carroll's season. UTEP offensive coordinator Eric Price has expressed interest in the job. Athletic directors are judged by whether they make the right decisions in situations like the one Villarreal faces. Villarreal talked about needing a coach who could take advantage of UNT's improved facilities and location near the recruiting hotbed of Dallas-Fort Worth after announcing that Dickey would not be back next season. Part of Villarreal's legacy will be setting up UNT's next coach with a better situation than what Dickey had to work with when he arrived in Denton in 1998. Make the right hire and Villarreal could also be remembered as the athletic director who oversaw the construction of a new stadium and ascension of the Mean Green to ranks of mid-major football powers. The wrong choice could extend UNT's slide of the last few years and sap enthusiasm from the athletic department in general. The choice is Villarreal's. His legacy depends on his call.
