I am amazed by the amazing play of PC. Just simply amazing. So very amazing!

Food was great. You were a good host Adler.

Whoah!

We will punt every time so that we won't go backwards due to sacks and penalties. We will hope not to have any penalties when we punt.

I think you can piece together some of it by looking through the board

Texans fire play-caller Chris Palmer Offensive coordinator ousted following 0-2 start; Pendry takes over By JOHN MCCLAIN Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle Chris Palmer, the Texans offensive coordinator since their inception in 2002, was fired this morning and was replaced by offensive line coach Joe Pendry. The beleaguered Palmer, under fire because the Texans offense has scored only two touchdowns in losses to Buffalo and Pittsburgh, got the word during a meeting with coach Dom Capers at Reliant Stadium. Contacted this morning, the Texans said they would not comment until Capers' regularly scheduled news conference this afternoon at which the head coach announced the move. Pendry takes over the play-calling responsibilities. Because the Texans have a bye week, Pendry has two weeks to prepare for the next game at unbeaten Cincinnati. Pendry, a long-time NFL coach who was previously offensive coordinator at Carolina and Buffalo, will try to develop some consistency in an offense that has been unproductive against the Bills and Steelers, the two best defensive teams in the NFL last season. Interestingly, Pendry was fired by Capers after the 1997 season at Carolina. Although, it was never confirmed, there was speculation that Panthers owner Jerry Richardson made Capers fire Pendry, who was under fire because his offense was too conservative and unimaginative. After being fired, Pendry was hired as Buffalo's offensive coordinator under Wade Phillips. In 1998 and 1999, Pendry's first two seasons with the Bills, Buffalo ranked sixth and 11th in offense and made the playoffs in both seasons. Pendry was part of the Phillips purge after the 2002 season. He was Washington's offensive line coach in 2001 and was out of the NFL in 2002 and 2003 before Capers hired him as offensive line coach last season.

Greyshirting is when they don't enroll until the spring semester when some scholarships might be available due to December graduation.

He can get a medical redshirt if he can't play the rest of the season.

RF?

Good teams have fans that get upset about losses. What do you expect from us? Oh, you lost, oh well, who cares? Bad teams have apathetic fans. What you are seeing on this board is the normal result when a good team loses a game in the manner in which they did. Fans who care have opinions and are willing to post them. Fans who jump off the bandwagon are not heard from again.

That's just sick.

Any recruits out there? Rumor! Rumor! Rumor, rumor!

Yeah, pretty much. If he thinks it's too hard to recruit players at UNT, he has no idea what some of the other SBC coaches must go through. They get to say to recruits that not only will they be in the worst conference, but there's a chance they may never even sniff a shot at a conference championship even in the SBC.

They should also quit asking fans to show up for OOC games if they're not going to be showing up either.

Dickey can say all the crap he wants to about nobody believing in the team, but it's really him and the coaching staff that are shortchanging the players. What kind of a coach instills a mentality in his team that they just can't compete with any team outside the SBC? By constantly saying how it's going to be difficult to compete with these teams (Tulsa), isn't he really saying to his own team that, hey, you guys can't beat anyone except SBC teams?

Oh, he cares But, with no resources and no support and fans that don't love you no matter what and blah blah blah, how can he even hope to try and compete with the big bad programs like Tulsa!

I am so disenchanted with our coaching staff. Unless we play against a team with less talent, we have no hope. And even when we play against a team with less talent (FAU last year), we can get outcoached and lose the game.

Just because they had 644 passing yards offense and continued to throw the ball and try to score in the 3rd and 4th quarter when the game was already well in hand?

I would want an apology for the showing, but I doubt it will come. Probably some spiel about we don't have the resources blah blah blah and everyone doesn't believe in us and someday we hope to be able to compete on the same field as these guys and on and on. Same as always.

Is never an acceptable answer? Because as long as DD is here and knows that all he has to do is win the SBC, that's the answer we're stuck with. Sure we might get a fluke win here or there, but it looks like that's all we're going to be seeing with DD at the helm.

DD Prepare? For an OOC game?

I thought he hid it well
