I've found nothing yet to confirm anything about RF to Buffalo. I think it's all rumor so far. BTW, while it would be a good thing for NT too, it needs to go further.

Report: Snyder to step down at Kansas StateESPN.com news services Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder told his team Monday he will retire at the end of this football season, ESPN has confirmed. Peter Aiken/WireImage.com ESPN has confirmed K-State coach Bill Snyder, seen here in a loss in 2004, has told his team he will retire. GoPowercat.com reported Snyder told his team around 9 p.m. local time that his 17th season at Kansas State would be his last. The Wildcats (4-6, 1-6 Big 12) will not play in a bowl for the second straight year after making a bowl in 11 straight seasons. Their final game of the season is Saturday against Missouri. Snyder will best be remembered for taking over a moribund program and taking it to the cusp of a national title contender. The Wildcats were 1-10 record in his first season, but improved to 5-6 in 1990, 7-4 in 1991 before falling back to 5-6 again in 1992. But then came the string of 11 straight seasons to end with a bowl game. Snyder is 135-68-1 in his 16-plus season at Kansas State. ...................................... hummmm.....

I wish we would have taken the WAC bid.

You need to review the past 7 year's schedules again, least you think we were Top 10 in any of those. Don't let the fluff hide the reality.

*** TORTILLA-BOUNCER ALERT *** As for Gators' points, good observations. You are now a seasoned NT fan for 2005, all from one game!

Very un-Vito like article, but I liked it. Way past due. Maybe the Honeymoon is over? "Phillips....nearly rallied a floundering UNT squad to victory." He should be given a start for his efforts. Why not?

bump

Same shell color as last year - Riddell made a good mini; black facemask, no special lettering other than the new logo. Of course this may all change next year.

I have 10 mini helmets, with two signed by Joe Greene and one by Abner Haynes. I have 3 full-sized game helmets, one Daffy eagle, and two Flying Worm helmets, one signed by Hayden Fry. I gave away a 1-AA helmet to Stebo. The wife thinks I'm obsessed.

Was SMUt still a Pro (paid) program then?

Info about the 2005 mini helmets: ...................................................................................................... Yes, I have found a company who is doing the decals, so I can do the helmets. The trademark issue gets touchy, so we couldn't produce the decals ourselves. If you are interested the helmets are $24.95 plus $5 for shipping. You can pay through Paypal.com to jorosports@aol.com or you can pay with check or money order payable to John Wolfe and mail to: John Wolfe 4705 Henshaw Lane Pasadena, Maryland 21122 Just confirm your order and I will put you down for one or more. It will probably be about 3 weeks until I receive the decals. Thanks, John

UNT soccer team is model for success Depth of area talent has helped put team on the map, set an example 10:27 PM CST on Thursday, November 10, 2005 By BRETT VITO / Denton Record-Chronicle DENTON – Rick Villarreal asked his coaches to follow a plan when he took over as North Texas athletic director a little more than four years ago. Villarreal challenged North Texas teams to mine the area for talent, develop dominant programs in the Sun Belt Conference and be competitive regionally. Villarreal would like to see all UNT teams model the soccer team. Under coach John Hedlund, the Mean Green won the Sun Belt Conference title and earned an NCAA Tournament bid for the second straight season with a roster featuring 18 Dallas-area players. UNT (16-3-2) plays SMU (14-4-2) in the first round of the College Station Regional at 5 p.m. today. "John understands our expectations," Villarreal said. "His ladies are always among the highest rated academic teams that we have, and he has been to the conference tournament finals six straight times. He creates an atmosphere that creates success." UNT has won four consecutive Sun Belt football titles, but the Mean Green has won once in four trips to the New Orleans Bowl and has lost its last 10 nonconference games. The UNT soccer team has overcome the nonconference hurdle and has quickly gained national recognition. The Mean Green, which has knocked off a pair of NCAA Tournament qualifiers and regional rivals in SMU and Rice this season, is ranked No. 15 in the central region by Soccer Buzz magazine and No. 36 in topdrawersoccer.com's national poll. UNT ranks ahead of SMU, Illinois and Cal State Fullerton nationally and ahead of both Oklahoma State and Missouri in the regional poll. The Mean Green is 2-1 against teams in the NCAA Tournament field. "I have always had a firm belief that we could get the best local kids," Hedlund said. "It's always a challenge. We have our wars for players with SMU and Big 12 schools, but the depth in Dallas is so superior that we get good players." Sophomore forward Heather Hutyra of Fort Worth Western Hills finished the regular season tied for sixth among NCAA leaders with a 1.0 goals-per-game average. Former UNT greats Marilyn Marin and Melinda Pina also ranked among the nation's top players during their careers that ended in 2003 and 2004, respectively. "John is such a good coach, and all of his teams are successful," sophomore midfielder Dani Slavonic said. "That has attracted a lot of attention and players to the team." Hedlund played for the Dallas Sidekicks during a 12-year professional career and started the UNT women's program from scratch in 1995. A little more than a decade later, he ranks 14th among active NCAA women's soccer coaches with a .707 winning percentage. "We keep pushing the ceiling every year," UNT midfielder Kristen Campbell said. "Now that we are going back to the NCAA Tournament for the second time, we want to take that next step and win a game."

WE WILL POST YOU INTO SUBMISSION. SURRENDER!!!

Prior successes and better offenses in football...during which of the 42 non-conference losses would that have been?

Yes, the "football?" men are into it at a deeper level than just us fans are. All we fans know is the results we see. 2-6 and 7-42 are not good results according to my NT education.

Why do you insist Flanigan knows so much? His title, his former qb experience, he's athletic, he went to Smu? I admit I don't know that much about him or his talent for his current job, just the results of the team he coaches and watching what appears to be a lot of disorganization within the offense. Again, not a flame, but you seem to put a lot of stock into just his title. He controls the worst offense in 1-A last I saw.

I still just want to beat Tulsa and La tech. No Christmas this year.

done.
