I didn't have a problem with my flag. I did however wonder what sort of "ice cooler" we were being given as a MGC gift. I thought that it looked rather odd for a soft-sided cooler, so I looked up the web-site for the product. Here is the link. http://www.bagselite.com/products_icentote.html I thought that it looked like a wine bottle cooler. And sure enough, that's what it is. I wonder, does that mean that we can start bringing wine into the games?

I want the starting QB to be the one who has the most confidence in himself, and in this team. I also want the starting QB to be the one that the team has the most confidence in as well. Because when that happens, the team will make the extra effort to protect him. I know that it irritates some people when you talk about the intangibles of leadership and confidence in the QB position. But to me, those are the most important qualities that you can have in a QB. And after you've put a QB out on the field who is confident in himself, and is a leader, then it's the coaches job to give him a viable offensive scheme to work with.

I couldn't find anything outside of a North Texas football story about him, when I did a google search.

It's my understanding that they make them buy a season ticket package before they can buy tickets to the UT/NT game.

Looks like one answer to the "what do we do about the loss of Charley Brown" question.

OHMYGOD! I completely forgot that I was going to run this decision by you before I went through with it................ DAMN! Now.....look at the avatar.....really look at it.

Looks like a pretty well respect coach is interested. http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/15206603.htm Patterson interested in Bomar By JEFF WILSON Star-Telegram Staff Writer TCU coach Gary Patterson said he would be interested in adding former Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar to the Horned Frogs' roster , but conceded much needs to take place before Bomar could join another team. "Who in the United States wouldn't be interested in Rhett Bomar as a player?" Patterson said. "We have question marks. You need to have patience in these situations. "You'd like for him to come up and take a look at the place. We have a scholarship available, and we have an opening at quarterback." Chad Huffman was expected to be the backup to senior starting quarterback Jeff Ballard this season as a junior, but left the team after being selected in the second round of the amateur draft by the San Diego Padres. Next season, TCU will start a sophomore or redshirt freshman if the roster remains as is. Bomar and his roommate, offensive lineman J.D. Quinn, were dismissed from the Sooners earlier this week after an internal investigation revealed they received excessive payments for their work at a Norman-area car dealership. Each will have to repay the money they illegally received in the form of charitable donations, then apply for reinstatement from the NCAA. Any player who transfers to another Division I-A team is required by the NCAA to sit out an academic year. Bomar will have two years of eligibility remaining if his eligibility is restored by the NCAA. But even if their eligibility is restored, that doesn't make Bomar and Quinn locks for TCU. Patterson, who said he also has interest in Quinn, said more information is needed from Oklahoma and the NCAA. Also, Bomar pleaded guilty to being a minor in possession of alcohol in March, and Quinn was arrested in November on suspicion of drunken driving. Both were in good academic standing before their dismissals. "With any young man that comes to TCU, it isn't what the head football coach thinks," Patterson said. "It's what the university thinks, starting with the chancellor." Neither Bomar nor his father, Jerry, returned phone calls Friday, but Texas A&M-Commerce issued a release that said the football team has asked Oklahoma for permission to talk to Bomar about transferring. Quinn's father, Jim, said his son would be interested in TCU. Jim Quinn played linebacker at TCU in the 1970s. Defense starts strong Seven-on-seven is a drill for the offense. Quarterbacks learn to read coverages and receivers refine their route-running. But TCU's defense shined during the seven-on-seven portion of the Frogs' first practice of camp. It's not usual at any school to find the defense ahead of the offense early in camp. But the defense was proud of its performance, especially after showing only one coverage. "Our goal is just to stop them, don't let them get too many yards," safety Marvin White said. "If we get an interception, it means we won. That's a big lift for us, knowing it's an offensive drill." gofrogs.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Wilson, 817-390-7953 jwilson@star-telegram.com

I would guess that close to the same number of fans attended the 88 game with Texas. And we were 1-AA!

"Running for you life" has been part of the NT QB job description for a long time.....too long as a matter of fact.

Wow, you sure know how to sugar coat it.

That is the face of the original Scrappy (circa 50's/60's). I'll post the rest of him soon. I chose him because his expression clearly says I DIDN'T COME HERE TO LOSE!

I thought that Cox showed some pretty good moves at the beginning of spring. He then proceeded to spend the rest of the spring trying to prove that he could run over people. His favorite target for this seemed to be Mr. Cotton #24. I would describe Evan Robertson's speed as "outstanding". IMHO, Kerona Henderson needs some running plays. And I don't mean the first game or so of the season, and then nothing thereafter. I think that Josh Maldonado could contribute on kick-offs.

"Adding another wide receiver to the lineup could be an intriguing option." It will be an intriguing option if only to see if the current coaching staff can demonstrate some originality and flexibility in their coaching style.

Actually (IMHO) we had plenty of answers for him (our swarming defense). We just didn't anticipate that the Texas QB was so "mobile" and would make some big plays with his feet. To me, (other than the referee's gifts) the big plays that their QB made in the second half was the difference.

Some of my thoughts. One of the best games, preparation wise, that I've ever seen North Texas play. North Texas was outweighed by Texas, but there was not ONE player on that North Texas team that was the least bit intimidated by the Texas team. Every North Texas player that stepped out on that field was both eager and ready to knock the crap out of anyone wearing orange....and they often did. That night, they were truely the MEAN GREEN. Clearly, every North Texas player and coach was wearing their "I DIDN'T COME HERE TO LOSE" t-shirt under their uniforms. This game should be shown to every North Texas team at the beginning of fall practice to illustrate the intensity with which they should play each game.

Well, as the old saying goes. You can want in one hand..............you know the rest. When has Coach Dickey EVER come out "breathing fire" with ANY of his game plans?

I know that he used to be an assistant with us. But at what point during our past coaching changes would he have been a candidate for Head Coach? AND did someone, at some time, advise the decision makers to hire him? More to the point, did Kragthorpe ever apply for a head coaching job here?

Scott Davis was under valued by the press (outside of North Texas), but at 6'2" X 195, he wasn't undersized. Some my favorite undersized QB's at North Texas 1. Greg Carter....probably about 5'9"....5'10" at the most, 1275 yards passing his senior year. 2. Joe Stevenson...6' but a very skinny 160lbs. He still had 1671 yards total offense the one year that he started. 3. Jordan Case....barely 6', but had a great arm (60%+passing in 78) and was a great leader. 4. Ken Washington 5' 11" X 170 (at the most). Big play guy.

When you burn some copies, I'll purchase one from you. Thanks

Yeah Eric, next time.....bring a compass.

Just how many renegade players have transferred to the Sunbelt in the last few years? Just another cheap shot by a lazy reporter.

Well, just like any lofty goal, you have to visualize it first.

IMHO it ain't over yet. I can't imagine Bomar getting dismissed from the team, getting publically lectured by the coach, and taking it all laying down. If he accepts full responsibility for this, I'll be real surprised. Get ready for "Hey! the coaching staff knew all about this! from Bomar.

Ok, I thought that I answered that in my previous post. Because it raises the butt's-in-the-seats numbers for our University........ Every butt counts!* Ok, extra points to you for using the word convoluted, .......and spelling it correctly. Especially if you had been drinking at the time. *Has a new football marketing slogan been born?

Received mine. Many thanks. Are you saying that you have the TT and Rice games also?
