Mean Green 93-98

I believe you mean North Dakota State.

I had no idea Brad was one of the captains!

This emphasizes what will make the difference for us. We will get our yards, but if we keep sputtering once we get into Troy territory we don't have a chance. We've got to put the ball in the paint!

Well, I guess it's a matter of who this is for. If it is solely for the players, yes, limit it to children wearing UNT gear. But if it is for the kids, which I suspect is the case, turning them away because of what their ignorant parents made them wear will not give them fond memories of UNT games. Give the parents a flogging, but let the kids enjoy their opportunity.

Former ULL coach wins $2 million judgment in discrimination case Oct. 19, 2007 CBSSports.com wire reports LAFAYETTE, La. -- A former head coach at the University of Lousiana at Lafayette has won a $2 million judgment in a lawsuit claiming the school fired him because of his race, not his 6-27 record. Jurors found Jerry Baldwin's race wasn't the only reason he lost the job. According to the jury, university officials broke his contract and inflicted emotional distress through negligence. The six white jurors and six black jurors took nearly 10 hours to work their way through a complicated verdict form late Thursday. "There is no substitute for victory," said Baldwin's attorney, G. Karl Bernard. Jurors voted 10-2 to award Baldwin $500,000 for general damages, including emotional distress; $600,000 for past lost wages; $900,000 for future lost wages and $2,676 for special damages. ULL attorney Steve Oats said the evidence doesn't support the verdict for Baldwin, who was coach from 1999-2001, but he and university officials haven't decided their next step. "It is clear Jerry Baldwin was not terminated because of his race," Oats said. "Jerry Baldwin was terminated over his tenure. The team had a record of 6-27, and attendance was terrible. The program was not going in the right direction." Oats said the same officials accused of racial discrimination hired Baldwin. "The university has a long history of not only supporting diversity, but of leadership in bringing diversity to its university and collegiate athletics," the university said in a statement Friday. In closing arguments for the eight-day trial, Bernard said white coaches before and after Baldwin got new equipment and had a greater ability to market the football program via a coach's television show and through the university's marketing department. Baldwin worked with used equipment, the marketing director was fired his second year on the job, and he never had a coach's show to promote the football program, Bernard said. Oats also said there are no signs that Baldwin's ability to get another job in coaching has been hampered by the firing, and Baldwin's attorneys did not present any evidence that he suffered extreme emotional distress. Bernard disagreed and said Baldwin's reputation suffered because of the firing. Baldwin, 53, is now a minister at New Living Word Ministries in Ruston.

So you don't think he is contributing as much as the other position coaches? Most of their contribution comes at practice time and working with the players one-on-one. I think you are reading way too much into this.

Good synopsis, but isn't Kevin Ealey a CB?

I have had this in the past, and was duly unimpressed with the quality. It was very herky-jerky, and I would miss entire plays. Has the quality of the streaming improved?

Thanks for posting! I saw it during the broadcast, but don't mind seeing it again.

He addresses one item of regular speculation here on the board:

I was at that game. My girlfriend was with me, and she had to be somewhere. When I saw that UNT was in an obvious punting situation, I said, "Now's a good time." As we walked out of the stadium, I heard the crowd ROAR. When we got to my truck and turned on the radio, I learned that I had just missed seeing the longest field goal I would ever see live in a game situation.

Right on!

I don't really care where they have it. I'm not going. The only beef I might have is if it starts at 1 a.m. CST.

No wins predicted, but he predicts a 2-10 record for us? Methinks the man needs a primer in first grade arithmetic.

I believe Ealey has been in for kickoff returns.

I think you're right. Fitz had already blown past the defender that got taken out, but that is hilarious.

That place wouldn't be the establishment once known as The Broken Spoke, would it?

Never mind that Notre Dame's colors are yellow/gold and blue.

Really good work. Thanks for posting!

Appreciate the article overall. Might want to check this, however:

Yyz, I appreciate your doing that. I've seen people get themselves into a corner and refuse to back off when it is obvious they need to.

Add Aaron Weathers to the list, and you have those who played some lights-out D.

You are correct. He threw behind his receiver for an easy pick.
