Mean Green 93-98

That's a mistake. Everytime I read about his performance in camp, he was catching everything that was thrown his way.

I don't know about happy, but I would be patient and understanding with 4 wins. Less than that will try both. I still say 5-7.

Sounds to me like somebody got Obama confused with Keith Ellison, I don't know who. The way you made your statement initially led me to believe that McCain's campaign or the Republican party were making these accusations.

I'm all for smack talking SMU--but the first game doesn't mean much. Just like we knew Todd Dodge would bring better days than that first game.

I do think Jones is necessarily on a tighter leash. The boosters underwriting Jones' huge salary (by "mid-major" standards) agreed to "Pony Up" for 5 years. If they do not start seeing some return on their investment by year three, the pressure will be on big time. Less than 5-6 wins in year 3 = June is gone. On the other hand, if Jones has the measure of success necessary to meet the expectations given him (i.e., conference championships, maybe even a BCS bowl appearance), the big boys will come calling. I don't know how much more money they'll be able to offer than SMU, but they could probably stroke his ego pretty nicely. With Dodge, some might have their expectations as high as SMU does with Jones, but they can't have their demands nearly as high--difficult to do at about 1/10th the salary. But if we were to have two more seasons like last year, I expect he would be gone after three years. If he starts winning seriously, the big boys will come calling for him, and the money they'll offer ought to be able to pull him away easily, assuming UNT doesn't find a way to give him and his staff a significant pay raise. I see him making every effort to stay through Riley's graduation, though. So what's that mean? If Jones is able to meet the high expectations at SMU, and SMU is able to keep Jones happy enough not to leave, he'll be around in 2014. If UNT consistently improves and competes for the Sun Belt championship and has good OOC performances--but not crack the Top 25--Todd Dodge should be around in 2014.

It ought to be some kind of offensive show when we play Rice. 5 touchdowns passing, and still a lot of football to go.

Are we not? I will say, the idea is laughable that Gio gets held to 164 yards passing.

14-13 Rice in the 2nd quarter. EDIT: Whoops, I mean 21-13. I believe there is another thread discussing this game you might want to check out.

Thankfully, the Sun Belt came around, because under Dickey we were getting whipped around like rag dolls in the Big West. I thank Coach Dickey for his work in bringing us four conference championships, and wish him well wherever he is. But I breathe a big sigh of relief to know that he is gone.

Well, Nixon was a little left-leaning, so he barely qualifies as a Republican.

I have never heard that accusation before. Where have you heard it?

Personally, I'm really not for what either stands for.

TEXAS!!!!

He'd be sitting on the bench here, too.

I don't know how important this particular game is in the grand scheme of things, but I definitely agree that Briles, Dodge, and Jones will be going after the same players. And the most successful coach/team on the field will usually win those recruiting battles. But I think both Briles and Jones pretty much get a one year free pass.

I can't top that response. Let me just say welcome to the board!

Brett needed to talk more smack about K-State in that article. A few comments about their mommas would have been good. Actually, it was a pretty fair summation.

A few typos ("falling" for "following," etc.), but I thought it was a good read.

Fixed. Not necessarily defending Fox News. They have made their fair share of gaffes, as have the others, and are also slanted at times in their reporting. But to deny that those sources drex and you cited often report with an agenda in mind is just plain to be in denial.

It might cost a little more than that for the UA. I've got one, though, and it is sharp, comfortable, and seems to be durable. http://www.advanced-online.com/Custom/Buil...meSet_Entry.asp

Pretty generous on the score for such a tough writeup.

If anyone cares to start a poll, I vote for this dude as the biggest moron ever to visit the board.
