  1. Mean Green for life! Let's go!
  2. I never said that. The same is true of middle and smaller programs as well, and at high schools. Football players in general get away with garbage that the average student does not; and the better the player, the more they can get away with. But to say that the top programs do not care, or that they have less concern about "shady stuff" than lesser programs, is simply not true. Some particular programs at the top have let it slide far more than others, like Florida during the Urban Meyer years. Jameis Winston was the kind of player you just can't replace, so he no doubt got a lot of leeway. But none of that is specific to the elite programs. If FSU would have booted Jameis Winston, you know plenty of lower-level P5 teams and G5 teams would have offered him a scholarship in a heartbeat. I mean, we're the team that has Isheem Young on its roster, when he is clearly a top P5-level athlete.
  3. He's never been a rah-rah, vocal leader type. He could pretty much always be described as "disengaged" on the sidelines, even when he was a key component of the starting O-line.
  4. I assume you're talking about Cal?
  5. How would BGSU or ULL be more interesting than WKU? I can see how ULL would be more challenging, if that's what you mean; but Bowling Green is around the same level as WKU, maybe a little below.
  6. That is simply not true. Alabama will cut a top player in a heartbeat if they get out of line, as they just did a couple of days ago. Penn State kicked Isheem Young out of their recruiting class. Even Arkansas booted this guy right out the door that we're drooling to take back despite what he did to his teammates. Elite teams can easily replace a 5-star player who is a cancer with a 4-star who isn't. It's the lower-tiered teams that feel they have to cling to top players despite their major character/off-the-field issues.
  7. If there's one thing this team can ill afford to lose, it's roadgrader runblocking O-linemen.
  8. You mean James Madison. But yes, you are otherwise entirely correct.
  9. That's from the previous staff, under Tom Allen. Don't think Fuente is there anymore.
  10. It's just sad that's what college football has come to. 50 years from now, people will be reminiscing about how great college football was in the 2010's, when athletes played for the love of the game and would stay at one school their entire careers.
  11. The funny thing with that is, after we fired the DC from Southlake and brought in an experienced college DC . . . our defense actually got worse.
  12. Except UTSA was favored.
  13. That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.
  14. When you toss out "Boise State" these days, people start thinking about the giant killers that beat Oregon, OU, etc. None of that had happened yet. I'm not saying they weren't a good team, just that they weren't that team. Again, we had a 2-win season that year. Those were some of my worst years as a UNT fan, and I'd just as soon not go back to that.
  15. It was a losing season. Like I said, not bad, considering UNT's lack of conference championships since Dickey left. But a 5-7 record doesn't rise to the level of "great" in my book.
  16. I really hope our head coach and athletic director are not consulting a fan message board to determine major personnel decisions.
  17. Funny thing is, the defense had probably their best performance under Caponi last week. Then they turn around the very next week and have possibly their worst.
  18. Disagree. In 2001, there was a little run of conference wins, but we closed out the season with a loss to 1st year FBS move-up Troy, and we made a bowl appearance where we looked like we completely didn't belong. 2004 continued the Sun Belt dominance, but we again got destroyed by OOC competition. Including losing to a 1AA (FCS) team. Not bad years, but I still see Dickey's "great" run as limited to 2002-03.
  19. The Baylor win was in the middle of the "great run" I mentioned above. Yes, that stretch was fun. As for the other two wins you mention, Dickey beat Boise State before they were anything special. The Tech win was nice, but Matt Simon had also beat Tech just a couple years earlier. And those two wins were Dickey's only 2 wins that season. I personally would not prefer that type of loser right now.
  20. Dickey had a great run through about 2002-03, but he had been a major loser of a head coach for years before he got to that point.
  21. Almost tripled the viewership of our previous game. I'm sure it had nothing to do with Army's significantly larger fanbase.
  22. UTSA is favored. I don't see how their winning would be a particularly crazy thing.
  23. Someone figure out a way to get this man a golf cart ride from his parking spot to the stadium.
