Then enlighten me what "normal college" fired their head coach during his first season and the accompanying circumstances. That should take you some time. PRO football teams very rarely fire a head coach after one season, even if you include the Raiders.

You are way off there. I am a huge Florida Gator fan and we let Ron Zook keep his job for longer than that. Lane Kiffin wasn't canned at Tennessee even with all the crap he put them through. Rick Neuheisel hasn't done much of anything at UCLA (certainly by their standards). My point is that while I understand your hate for losing try to make some cogent points because top flight college teams don't fire coaches in year one. I want UNT to win too, but at least make some sense. If you want to say that Dodge shouldn't have been brought back this year then you might have more of a leg to stand on.

These spammers are like cockroaches!

Finally grant one waiver request from UNT? I mean, they have to cut us a break eventually.

Here is a little more info from Vito on this hire. Mean Green Blog

hmm, WTH. I didn't do it...

We might need Scrappy '03's little brother before our next home game if this injury bug keeps biting us much longer.

Of course not. Why would everyone have to play by the same rules? You could say the same thing about the Belt though...when are we playing WKU at the Pit again?

This thread took a very strange turn just now...

No way! Don't you know about the ugly windmills we will have at the new stadium? Combined with unicorn farts we will be able to save so much money on electricity we will be able to buy any coach we want!

We had to give away some tickets last year for basketball (stupid noon game and family obligations), I don't know why JJ and the athletic department can't just schedule around my schedule!

No it's cool, the windmills will save us!

Because it is tough to go to a game when your kid is playing at the same time. Obviously that is not an issue for most students, though getting up in time to make a 12:00 kickoff could be a problem!

Well you went from wanting one reason to answering your own question then claiming that isn't a good enough reason. With double talk like that you sound more like a politician than an industry 'insider'! Though if this is your logic then everything you say could change in (checks your post times) about eight minutes.

Well played.

The only Rice grad I can think is my boyhood favorite QB Tommy Kramer!

No, just because it has never worked doesn't mean that they won't want to keep trying!

My lovely wife pointed out that I should have looked at the VFW's website to see about Patriot Day. According to the VFW you are to fly the flag at half staff on 9-11.

Coach K remembers! He had a terse reply about the some commnets the Russian coach made about '72.

Not unless you are taking a boat to the stadium. If you have a flag pole where you can display it at half staff do so. I believe the President will order it to be flown at half staff this Saturday, though a quick search on the Whitehouse web site didn't show where he has ordered it yet. If you do not have a flag pole where you can display it at half staff (like the small poles attached to houses) then fly it as you normally would.

Ha ha, it usually helps if you stand closer to the basket, just not for this guy!

I am so sorry I missed this game, but I had to ref...

If this thread gets a couple of more pages will it get moved like the 'I'm not saying thread'? Especially since it probably should be in the new stadium forum. I'm not saying, I'm just saying...

It would only be a problem if they rush the field.
