Good observation! Definitely some tough decisions coming up for Coach Dodge.

For the good of the program, I hope Riley will be redshirted. Having two great quarterbacks only one year apart in eligibility is both a blessing and a curse. If Riley is clearly better, start him; he is a great talent, but so is Vizza. In any event, I pray that we don't burn his shirt for a trivial reason.

I've always said it has never brought what it is worth...but $17K? Damn!!

That weather wasn't just nasty, it was BRUTAL! We tailgated in the parking lot, inside the car; ran the engine to use the heater intermitently. Never went to the seats, just to the deck. Even there, we were so thoroughly chilled by halftime that we left and listened to the game on the radio on the way home. We were both dressed for it and the chill still made us wimps. Those were the most miserable conditions I can remember in several years. There may very well have been 5,000 at kickoff and only 500 left standing at the end.

Good for her!! I wish her the best of luck in her new gig.

JUST SAY "NO" TO 1-AA!!

I agree with most of the posts in this thread. In your hearts, though, you must admit that (on the Awshit Suckiness Scale ("ASS"), where 1 is "Ghastly" and 10 is "Semi-Pleasant") Fouts has advanced from about a 3 to somewhere around an 8 over the last three years or so. No free beer and a losing season were setbacks to the overall experience but the physical stool specimen that is Fouts has become a little less aromatic.

Jerry Jones has contacted him about a tryout. He could make the practice squad this year and get bonus money for keeping Pacman in line.

Amen. With the talent we currently have at the offensive skill positions, if we're healthy in the OL and play Dodgeball to have fun you never know how many points we could put on the board. We could get a couple breaks, turnovers or defensive stops. You never know! If we were able to put up some points and respectable offensive numbers on them we would probably get some props.

I see and acknowledge your points, Deep. It IS unfortunate for us that we catch LSU at this particular time. Clayton Williams once made a remark about what to do when rape is inevitable. I'll have another round of Kool-Aid!

Hold out your cup, here comes my pitcher of green kool-aid! Just a round of things I believe: I believe that we would have to be very lucky to run the table, even if the schedule was loaded with cupcakes. If you want to know where you stand, you might as well play the best to find out. A schedule loaded with cupcakes does not earn respect; I would rather be beaten soundly by the best than whip up on Winnetka Brownie Troop 37 and have people snicker for playing them. I believe that our men are as good as theirs; their players didn't become superhuman the moment they signed an LOI with BCS U. Yes, the big programs are deeper in top-quality personnel but $hit happens during a game; the ball sometimes takes strange bounces and even the very best miss assignments. Money talks, but not during those sixty minutes of fighting and winning personal battles on the field, mano a mano. I believe that on some Saturday before I die the Mean Green will shock the world! Why not some Saturday THIS year? I Believe In The Mean Green!!

Personally, my coping mechanism will be to just sit on the patio, look at porn, and drink more Shiner.

The "Imploder Dudes" are artists! Quite a few years ago I witnessed them take down a building taller than the Radisson on a city block in downtown Dallas without any debris more than twenty feet from the original footprint. If the Radisson is loaded with asbestos, though, they would probably have to remove all of it first before they blow up the building. It does create a dust cloud.

Her enthusiasm shows and is contagious...its easy to see how she can be an effective recruiter. Now we have to wait until the fall to see how she can manage a game and use her players in the right roles and situations. I've never been a big Slinker critic but if I had to say something I would say she came up short in game management. Let's see what Stephens can do with the talent we have.

UNDERRATED!!!

At least we won't have to worry about any visits to the Isle of Lesbos!

TOUGH call for RV; glad I didn't have to make it! Stephens obviously has something but being picked above that group will put lots of pressure on her to produce quickly. Another ho-hum season next year and the natives will be restless.

I like it! It is always better to compete when you are underestimated by the competition. Let's let them look past us until its too late.

I like the siren too. It adds a little touch, a threat to our opponent, a notice to the opponent to tighten chin and jock straps 'cause it's fixin' to be 60 minutes of hell. We need to be Mean Green!

Well, I could WRITE a $45,000,000 check but then Emmitt would be at my door with a warrant when it didn't clear!

Since we don't have new uniforms to unveil at this year's kickoff barbecue, this would be an acceptable substitute. Hell, I could even wait until August!

Do we have our own incarnation of "Touchdown Jesus" coming? An appropriate mural on the side facing the field would be a nice touch. Since it couldn't have a religious theme, how about a wide receiver in full stride, ball in hand and upraised talons?

My fearless prediction is 4,500. Saturday will be a perfect storm of beautiful weather, need to tailgate, need to welcome Deloach back and see what he has done to rejuvenate the defensive corpse in a few practices, and need to see some Dodgeball.

An AD as savvy as RV probably has a short list for every coaching position laminated and carries it in his wallet. He probably updates it once a quarter.

Now the ULM roadtrip is an interesting prospect! I personally have planned to lay up in Shreveport, ala the previous Louisiana Tech game. My plan is check in at hotel in Shreveport, drive to ULM for the game, then come back to Shreveport for a casino crawl. Return home is planned for Sunday p.m. Now if the Exes could put something like THAT together, it could be a winner for a conference roadtrip and there would probably be lots of interest.
