Mean Green 93-98

Try it again. I shut down my browser and tried again, and even then I had to click "play" about 10 times before I ever got anything.

Has anyone tried watching the press conference? I am not having any luck, but I just might be because I am running highly unstable Vista (right yyz? ). EDIT: Nevermind, it's working now--even with Vista.

Why? I thought the APR was only affected if players left while ineligible.

12-2 p.m. Coach Dodge is expected to start his press conference between 1-1:30. MeanGreenSports Media Day Blog EDIT: They will be streaming the press conference live.

That's correct.

Decided to go Nader, eh?

I'm happy to read this: From what I have heard about Dunbar and Mathis, we may have some real depth at RB.

Those first two pieces are definitely bad news. I was looking forward to seeing Fentriss on the field, and Padron struck me as someone who would be a real leader on the defense. I think the decision on Franklin is the right one, and I think he just might see some good playing time this year.

"Party line"? I'm not sure I've heard anybody saying anything like #2 and #3. At any rate, I think his assessment is right on with each of the points. The loss of both presumptive starting DEs hurts bad, but I still look for us to win 5 games this season.

It is undeniable that it can hurt a program, but I think it would be difficult to assess how much. There may be times when it might provide motivation to players to prove the naysayers wrong, but I think those players would rather not have the naysayers being their own fanbase.

Padron and Russo?

I have read and re-read this thread, and fail to see where anyone opposes free press. Pointing out the serious shortcomings of the nation's (I'll say it, since you won't--liberal) media does not mean one wants the First Amendment stricken from the record.

What conference would they consider "more desirable"? Are they looking Big XII?

I believe he is referring to the slow leak of information about the new uniforms last year.

I just hope the Packers realize the jewel they've got.

Good post, Flyer.

Easy, there. He said the coaches told him by 2011. In 2010 would still be by 2011.

Wish him all the best. He will likewise be in my prayers.

Just out of curiosity, was the one(s) who told you to expect these things someone involved in making these decisions?

I believe his name calling of Dodge ("hypocritical, moron, dope") would have to at least insinuate that Dodge accused Dickey of doing what Dodge is now guilty of. I don't know if you could call it a double standard when we all gave Dickey a free ride his first year. His second year is when his play calling started driving me crazy, and then his "me vs. them" (us) attitude that he took on certainly wore thin. If Dodge were to start doing those things, I imagine he would lose a lot of the leeway he has been given to this point. It is like the kid who always causes trouble in class--the teacher is liable to send him to the principal's office as soon as she sees him talking. But she probably will give a break to the new kid who seems to be respectful. That may be a double standard in a sense, but I fail to see how that makes the new good kid a "hypocrite, moron," or "dope." I'm not trying to bash Dickey. I wish him well, I really do. But I think that it is not fair to assess what Dodge says by the standard that Dickey at least in some respects brought on himself.

Congratulations to the Ball family
