One need not ever question Mean Joe's pedigree. He bleeds green like the rest of us. The UT visit speaks to his reputation, not his heart.

Well, it is only right that the Record Chronicle hire Tech grads....haven't you heard of the tremendous reputation of the Tech school of journalism? For that matter, haven't you heard of the highly regarded Oklahoma State school of journalism, where Bill Patterson went? If it makes you feel any better, in about a year or two half the sports staff at the RC will mean just one person.

They must have gone out by pack mule....no tickets here yet.

The guy you are talking about is Riley Patterson, who is Bill Patterson's brother. Rumor has it that he was named for Riley Dodge, not sure, though. He wears that UT crap everywhere...his parents are UT grads.

Correction...there have been many AD's who talked the talk, but were not allowed to walk the walk by the senior administration. Just for historical clarity.

If Riley is on scholarship he is on the payroll, technically. So are the other scholarship players.

Is that an NCAA big six deal or an NAIA big six deal? Given our recent scheduling, just curious.

As you fret over possible bad things that could happen to this year's team, don't forget that there is always a 3 percent chance of final judgement. That, of course, could really ruin the season.

Those years in the Missouri Valley really hurt our overall record...we were the doormat for years in the Valley.

Would someone please show this analysis to the athletic department so they might be inspired to actually promote basketball this season.

Actually, he has been promised the Heisman if he commits to reducing defenses at all division I schools.

I always consider Dickey to have had limited success here, as he dominated a fledgling conference and had a very poor out of conference win record. Then, instead of capitalizing on the 'limited success' of the bowl games and using it for better recruiting, he seemed to backslide. In his defense, he was experiencing health problems during that time period.

I am sadly amused by the people on the board who have such short memories. Did we not give Dickey three years to learn how to coach DI fooball before he had his limited success? Did we not agonizingly watch the progression of Scott Hall when he was thrown to the wolves? Now, let's just cool our jets and watch the maturity and eventual success of Dodge and company. Folks, we are not being blown out by teams. Our only embarrassment was at the hands of a pro francise in Tuscaloosa.

Mean Green has appeared, disappeared and reappeared in North Texas publications since 1967. Hurley, of course, did not like Mean Green so it was not used for a few years of his tenure as grand wizard of North Texas.

I am dumbfounded. When I heard it on the radio I thought it said that he had won the Noble Piss Prize, so I was not shocked.

Speaking of offensive lines, will Victor Gill play tomorrow?

The shirts are the 'new green' and all the art is in white.

You have got to create your own market for your product, not slip slide around other products. Win and be fun doing it, and you can schedule any game you want any time you want. Ever think you'll see the day when Texas-OU fans stop in Denton on their way home to watch a pretty good football game in Denton, too?

That photo of Joe is from his sophomore or junior year, I would bet. To completely replicate the jersey, consider the following. The color green is slightly darker than the current green that we are using. I would call it grass green (but certainly not the old dark green that Dickey used). All numbers are white and done by the tackle twill process, which is cut out fabric numbers stitched onto the jersey. The sleves are three quarter length, I think and there is one small stripe, one wide stripe and then on small stripe of white on the sleves. Obviously, there is a bit of green between each stripe. The white stripes were woven into the fabric of the jersey. Hope that helps. None of the jersey has any silk screening on it. Also, we did not have player names on the back of the jerseys back then.

The owner of the Sonics in the Denton area is a great guy, who is a big supporter of the community. His name is Gene Gumfory and he and his sons own all of the Sonics in the Denton area. He was a mainstay in the formation and continuation of the Taste of North Texas. He deserves your patronage, when possible.

Have you noticed that no matter who we play in football or basketball there are always a few of their fans at the game? Reason? Jobs...they can't get jobs in some of the hell holes that they are from and come to Texas for jobs.

Sport 1..thanks for the good vibes. Who's next for the Ponies? Good luck.

So why don't we just forfeit the rest of the season since Vito says it will be tough. If we forfeit then Vito can spend the remainder of the season covering middle school football in Denton. It wasn't over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor and it ain't over until we say it's over.

Stebo you are a genius....Dodge is part fox.

Only problem is that it takes two parties to complete a contract. Why assume that we can schedule Mizzou or K-State or Illinois. Lots of politics involved.
