Im sure it happened in the pre-shot clock era when teams would run 3 minutes worth of four corners to nurse a lead and your final was 35-31. If you want more modern, think of low scoring basketball programs like Princeton...or really high powered football offenses like the Houston Cougars of the early nineties.

Didn't you guys do something similar during the basketball season to show your support for Dickey Nutt?

Essentially, yes...and to see exactly what we have in Vizza...if he's the player we think he is...and if he's good enough to fend off the coaches son for 2-3 seasons.

The I can more confidently sit back and say this season is what it is, a rebuilding and retooling effort and I'm glad that our true freshman is already on par with a fourth year junior, despite what type of offense he played in previously. I would much rather go 0-12 or 1-11 with a true freshman at the helm who than a veteran. Add to that, for all of Danny Meager's faults, I have seen nothing to lead me to believe that he is anything but the ultimate teammate...and he would assume the back-up role if he felt it was best for the team and the program and be nothing but supportive to Vizza...and, atleast against SMU and FAU, he has shown he can adequatly run the offense for stretches...so I am very confident with him as a backup. I just don't feel he has IT.

Best post ever! I sure do wish we had a Jimmy Chitwood though.

In 2001 we started 0-5, including a conference loss to UL-Monroe...and we finished the year with a loss to then D-1A Troy. We won the Sun Belt. In 2002 we started 1-5, the one win was against D-1A Nichols State. We won the Sun Belt and the New Orleans Bowl. In 2003 we started 1-3, and ended up 9-3. We won the Sun Belt. In 2004 we started 0-4, including a 65 point loss to UT and a 31 point loss to Colorado. We won the Sun Belt. I was unconscious during 2005- and 2006...so I'm not sure what happened...something about struggling was mentioned when I woke up. So far in 2007 we're 0-4, with two games that were very winnable, one against a very solid team, the other against one from a conference that is supposedly better then our own. Those who expected Papa Todd to show up and immediatly start a 79 game win streak may need to step back a moment and actually look at what our program has been for the past 20 years...even what we consider the best 4 year streak in our program's history are very under-impressive on a national scale. This is going to take time and patience. The next two weeks should be a very good litmus test. Lafayette and Monroe are down, and it comes at a point in our schedule where I believe the coaching staff has someting to prove to the fans, AD and administration...kinda like Arkansas had to do this week. This game had blowout written all over it as Roothog needed something to right the ship. Those who see this program as the next Boise, and I include myself in this group, need to realize that our first step needs to be getting out of the cellar of our own conference...baby steps...but Boise has been building this success for ten years...in 1996 they went 2-10, in 98 6-5, in 2000 10-2...the miracle turn around just doesn't happen. We are in a much better place with Papa Todd and Sexy Rick Villareal; exciting football, an energized fan base, early recruiting commitments, new stadium discussion,ect. All this said...bring back Frank Bliel.

ohh...what an ass

Especially the WR's...you've already got 3 committed for next season, 2 who should be impact guys in Barrett and Brigham...and you've got a red-shirting Evan Fentriss waiting

Very underrated comment

It worked for Florida with Chris Leak and Tim Tebow... Seriously though...I have always been anti - QB rotation...but anything that will get Giovanni on the field makes me happy.

Your KD replacement is Collin Dennis...Calvin's scoring will be by committee unless Tristan Thompson is as good as Cooley predicts he will be. I think Bell will look for more buckets...he was great in the SBC tourney and late against Memphis until he fouled out. He wasn't a high assist guy...but looked to get others involved ahead of his own scoring numbers. Here's how I think the scoring will break down: 12-15ppg from Dennis, Williams and Wooden 9-12ppg from Willingham and Bell 5-9ppg from Stewart, Thompson, McCoy and Mangrum Less than 5 from White, Hodges and Howerton

Thats just too easy.

bump for the purpose of pinning...thanks admins

1. The SBC West looks very winnable...UL-Monroe returns almost everyone from last season with a couple of impact additions and will be a tough win and I think will be our only significant threat in the West. The East is loaded though. Please refer to the wonderful team previews provided by one of our board members for a detailed analasys of most of the Belt...the others should be up soon. 2. Don't get to see practice, though I've heard Collin Mangrum has added an inch and ten pounds of muscle. 3. PG. Ben Bell - SG. Collin Dennis - SF. Collin Mangrum or Tristan Thompson - PF. Quincey Williams - C. Keith Wooden -- Key Subs - Dez Willingham at the point, Adam McCoy at the 2,3 and Harold Stewart at the 4...probably about the same amount of time for Howerton as we saw last year.

Who would've guessed at the beginning of the year we'd be better than Louisville and Notre Dame!!! Dodge is doing great things

Our secondary isn't good enough for anyone...especially our best corner to be in a doghouse for anything less than a UT-like infraction.

Its really the only thing that keeps me off the ledge everyday.

Happy Birthday to Mean Joe Greene...hopefully a new stadium will be blessed with your great name soon enough

How's you're luck with UNT athletes?

Wide reciever - 38 completions, and only five wide recievers made catches, one other (Breece Johnson) made the participation report...and he got credit for a tackle so I'm wondering if he only played on ST. At the beginning of the season, we were under the impression that 8-10 players would work in there. Did Breece see time at WR? Did B.J. Lewis make all of his catches in the first quarter again and then sit the rest of the game? Did any of the other wide outs see time and just get missed in the participation report? I love seeing the numbers Casey and BJax are putting up, but they do need a break every once in a while. Defensive back - Bush and Green were listed as starters. Did Nurudeen see most of the action or is he being demoted? I felt he was all but a lock and the hole was at the opposite corner...also no Kevin Ealey in the participation report. Who saw the most time on the corner and who looked the best? Was Roman's time limited to mostly returns...I don't neccesarily mind him playing corner but I felt Ealey has out-played him so I don't want his time being cut for Roman. Danny Meager - 51 positive yards of rushing (lost 20 on sacks). were most of these scrammbles on broken plays or designed runs. Also, 3 picks...when did they happen...DM or WR fault...where on the field ect. O-Line - saw one good report, opening holes for JT...3 sacks, is DM holding on too long? Also just 2 tackles for Pinnick is nice...but whoever Sincere is he seemed to dominate the game. JT - why only 15 touches...freshman form? any other interesting notes would be greatly appreciated

Man I'm so jealous to be reading all this talk of 25K...please be sure to put up lots pf pictures of the field and the tailgating scene. Homecoming cannot get here soon enough!

Tell me the DRC used the word venerable to describe Fouts! Thats awesome...I did the same last week...Vito...I know you read this board from time to time...if the name sticks and you get royalties you'd better cut me in.

Verbal Commitments: 3. Anthony Jones - Baylor 5. Ian Markolf - Wisconsin 7. Phillip McDonald - New Mexico 8. Jeremy Green - Stanford 11. Corbin Ray - Texas Tech 19. Troy Alexander - Santa Clara 21. Chris Hines - Utah 22. Toure Murray - Wichita St. 28. Anthony Hill - Rice 30. Kevin Foster - Santa Clara 37. Tre Nichols - Texas St. 40. Brandon Williams - UL- Monroe 43. Logan Lancon - TCU 44. Kevin Smith - Liberty 47. James Bzlasczyk - TCU 49. Jon Miller - UTA 53. Branden Harrison - E. Michigan 61. Jordan Kinnear - UTA 78. Drae Murray - Sam Houston I know that ratings are not the be all and end all indicator of a player's talent...but they do provide a good baseline as to where we should be looking to recruit. Based on the schools where these kids have verballed thus far...I would say top 40...UL-M recruits talented guards, the TSU and Rice kids may be second guessing their choices...but I feel we're a better basketball team than TCU and the Fran of the metroplex Neil Daugherty, UTA, Liberty, Eastern Michigan and SHSU. Shug Jones mentioned an interst in visiting, and I like the size on #20 Myles Walker and #34 Emerson Herndon.

Damn, I'd like to see that W-2
