  1. What I'm looking for as much as anything else is an attitude change. If I see another NT team quit like the 04 team did in the Texas game, then I'm going to be seriously disappointed. Oklahoma may get some big plays on us, but what I want to see is the defense lining up the next series and saying "OK bring it on, give us your next best shot". OH, and my HSO.... expect D. Cox to get more carries then J-Mo this year. Even with a healthy J-Mo. I am just sayin'. That wouldn't surprise me if Mr. Cox is healthy. I know that there have been various reasons presented for J-Mo not being able to come close to duplicating his freshman performance. Most of them are probably valid. But from what I've observed, he hasn't run the same since he took that huge hit from the So. Miss defense before half-time in the 04 NO Bowl.
  2. For $1800, I would expect to be able to view the scrimmage at Fouts from my home in Fort Worth. Keep in mind that the defense is always way ahead of the offense at this time of year. Plus our defense knows just about everything that our offense is going to do. There are no surprises.
  3. gmoney?....
  4. I'm up for that. Plus, I like to grill my own fajita's (chicken and pork only), so I may bring some of that up to cook this year.
  5. Well, life is about choices........http://www.dailybruin.ucla.edu/news/2007/may/09/youth_hearing_loss_could_become_prevalent/
  6. Mmmmmmmm, I always try to set-up right by my old friend Chad.
  7. It's not that much smaller than Peachy at 279, and it's much better than the 235 he was listed as in the official roster.
  8. I can't remember, did Mr. Cox practice during the spring? If so, wasn't he slowed by an injury? I think that three things are going on. 1. Mr. Cox is healthy again, and everyone's forgotten how good he was when he was healthy. 2. Mosley is better than everyone thought he would be. 3. Mr. Montgomery may have leveled off in his development.
  9. I am so happy that Josh is going to continue to contribute to this program. This is great news!
  10. This time FFR and I will be carrying our ponchos with us instead of leaving them in the bus.
  11. First of all, I want to say how impressed I am with how physically and (more importantly) emotionally resilient Daniel must be. He has spent his whole career here running for his life, getting beat up by opponents, getting (emotionally) beat up by North Texas fans, and finally getting (IMHO) absolutely no help or any sort of insight from the coaching staff. From what I can observe, his reponse to the recent coaching change has been to work even harder, seek their help and/or insight, and never complain. I once had a Education Dept professor tell the class that I was in that the North Texas latin motto "Eundo Cresit, or Cresit Eundo" translated into modern vernacular as "Keep on Keepin' on". I think that Daniel is a fine example of that motto. Way to go Daniel! I hope the rest of the team follows your example.
  12. Think about it folks. Other than tailgating, this is one of the few times when you can talk North Texas football all you want, and nobody will make fun of you, or roll their eyes. .....well, most of the time anyway.
  13. One of my wife's favorite quotes from the movie "Desk Set" (Joan Blondell, to Katherine Hephurn, as she is trying to describe Spencer Tracy) No, he looks like one of those men who suddenly switched to vodka. Spencer Tracy, from "Inherit the Wind"-- Henry Drummond: to the Judge (Harry Morgan) Can't you understand? That if you take a law like evolution and you make it a crime to teach it in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools? And tomorrow you may make it a crime to read about it. And soon you may ban books and newspapers. And then you may turn Catholic against Protestant, and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the mind of man. If you can do one, you can do the other. Because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy, and needs feeding. And soon, your Honor, with banners flying and with drums beating we'll be marching backward, BACKWARD, through the glorious ages of that Sixteenth Century when bigots burned the man who dared bring enlightenment and intelligence to the human mind! I've thought about that quote a lot. Especially after each or our recent Presidential and Congressional elections.
  14. That's too bad. I'm sure former NT QB Jordan Case could make him a good deal on one.
  15. You can take a cooler, AND the most that it will cost you is $35......round trip! This is too good of a deal to pass up folks.
  16. I never worry about him. After all, he had to live with me for 18 years.
  17. We better worry about that question more than the QB question.
  18. I feel bad for Mr. Wilson. He did pass up a B-12 scholarship.....to play DB or WR. He took a chance coming here because he wanted to play QB, and we were the only ones that were going to give him a serious look at that position. Who knows how things would have turned out for him if he had gotten some decent coaching from the very beginning.
  19. Hey now!!! Don't be making fun of Josh.
  20. If that happens, then all I can say is there are many more QB prospects out there, who are just as talented, that are more than willing to wait their turn to play for TD. "Daniel Meager is our starter and we have full confidence in him," Dodge said. To me, this is the best part of the article. When was the last time that any of us heard such a statement from the Head Coach. This is only going to get better folks.
  21. I don't know about player of the year, but I think that Ryan Davenport has to be the most versatile player on the team. I can't remember what position he was listed as playing when he arrived two years ago, but last year he was listed as a F-Back. As a member of the Green team he caught at least one TD pass......I assume from the FB/H-back position. I think that he was listed as a WR on the spring roster, and now he's playing DE.
  22. Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that you didn't overdo it.......
