Just curious as to whether anyone had seen a line on this game. Also, any predictions for the attendance?

Pony Up and Pony Down and do all you can to be the Metroplex clown. Go SMUT.

Marvin Walker was my guest for the Navy game Saturday night....he was really impressed with Fitzgerald and was pulling for him all night long. In fact, after the game he was headed to the locker room to talk to Casey. He also had a lot of good things to say about the fans and the game atmosphere. Marvin had not been to a game in a decade or two. My guest for the Western Kentucky game will be Joe Greene ( just kidding ).

Wes Davis and I finished the Fitzgerald reception chart today...it will be ready for tomorrow's game. It reads: Casey Fitzgerald: "Walkin' on to History." Firefightin Rick and Emmitt will do the honors tomorrow.

Update on Marvin Walker. He is currently doing well and teaching at Webb Middle school in Garland. My fiance teaches there and says Marvin is well liked and doing great.

Free food, beverages and door prizes, plus inside slant from the two head coaches....basketball heaven.

Barnett will be a perfect fit for SMU. I salivate over his hiring...the final nail in the coffin of SMU football.

Computers, my boy, computers. They scan the ticket and then the info is fed to the big computer in the sky and the message is spit back to you.

It might be a few days longer to get the tickets, as the athletic department is waiting for parking passes for the $1000 and above donors. Their lot is located across from the flag poles on the east side of the Super Pit in the parking lot located there. The rest of us just park in Fouts Field parking lot.

I'll be there to sign autographs if anyone wants mine.

You might call Utah and talk to Dickey...he has some slightly used black uniforms he could make you a deal on.

Since the NO Bowl gets CUSA fourth or fifth, can any of them hang with Troy? In fact, could the conference winner of CUSA hang with Troy?

Eddie Hardin is the alum who got the paint donated. He can be phoned at 940-383-1090 in Denton. Give him a calll...I am sure he would be glad to hear from you.

You might give Ruby's BBQ a call....they try to have all NT games on that can possibly be obtained, and they have access to a lot of stations. However, as I have seen posted earlier, it seems that Texas will be blacked out for this one. As you may know, they are located on I-35 east just west of Teasley lane on the south side of the freeway.

Committment information is fun in the fall, but doesn't mean a thing until February.

Finally, academia gets it. Intercollegiate athletics is advertising and entertainment for the university. If used correctly, intercollegiate athletics can afford the opportunity to attract future student, make alumni proud and attract corporate dollars to the school. The good news for the academicians is that the NCAA is forcing athletes to pursue degrees and maintain a better GPA than in past decades, etc.

Let's give a big thank you to the events staff who handled the 'parents weekend'. They got students and their parents to the game, and it really made a big difference on the student side. Thanks to Karen Selby and her staff for the promotion.

Newspapers are in the business of controversy...it sells papers. A shot of the team all rejoicing at the end of the game whould probably have a tag line like 'despite going 5-0 prior to tonight, the Mean Green celebrate their first victory. The newspapers always love to jab with a negative.

Good point 3xntgrad. I guess the reality is that if the team gets hot people will plan their day to come see them most any time.

Now, if they will just move all the tip-offs to 7:30 so that our fans who fight the drive from Dallas to Denton can get to a game before tipoff. What difference does 30 minutes make other than the athletic department's hope against hope that the score will make the 10 o'clock sports in the area?.......and we know how much the local sports reports care about giving a North Texas score.

I think that the announcers said that Navy was ranked last in the nation in pass defense. If that is the case, we will have a fantastically high scoring game.

Since I have a degree in advertising art, I would be glad to do the lettering free.

I trust that Todd is a man of integrity. That being said, the best quarterback will start for us next season, no matter his pedigree.

I saw him, too. He looked like he was on his way to a luau.

I was out at Fouts Field this morning and ran across Johnny Quinn. He is headed to Kansas City in the next day or two for a tryout there. He also said he has had some interest from the Vikings and one arena team. Best of luck to a great person and player.
