Oh no! Am I a North Texas douche? Pictures of this? ...maybe I don't want to ask. Thanks for the clarification!

Maybe they're the ones excluded when they throw out the '96% of Americans' number?

Thanks Keith! I'll need to check my policy to make sure I'm not carrying extra coverage. I knew something good would come of this discussion!

My generation is screwed... Maybe the rapture will occur before I retire?

Exactly. And that's OK because you'll always see your next school of choice's highlights on ESPN et al. No need to know about "mid majors", until Boise St. & TCU come along... then they get their own douches as well. For clarification sake... 'fill-in-the-blank douche' = 'fair-weather fan?' correct? Or is there more to being a 'fill-in-the-blank douche'?

I'm not sure I follow... They don't force me to buy a car, but force me to have auto insurance. They don't force me to _________, but force me to have health insurance. What is the reciprocal of this? They don't force me to live/have good health?

Honest question: Constitutionally, whats the difference between being forced to buy auto insurance and being forced to buy health insurance? I know you have to have liability insurance for hitting someone else, but the government (albeit state govt.) forces us to buy it...

I think we all understand that FOX leans right and NBC leans left. If you don't like one or the other, then dont watch it! That's what I do. Neither side likes why the "other" station portrays stories the way they do. They're obviously bias. So posting some ridiculously biased story from FOX or NBC and expecting arguments to ensue will only trigger the same handful of people to respond. Wasnt there some new hooch that claimed to have boinked Tiger Woods recently? That's a better topic, and not from a biased news station! Go Mean Green!

Maybe this was the opening that allowed us to go get Pont?

Does anyone know anything on our new TE's coach? All I can find on him is that he is a Graduate Assistant and that he was formerly at Northern Alabama under coach Bowden. As a graduate assistant, does he actually coach the TE's? Or is he more of an understudy to Lefty/Hines in developing as a TE coach?

I agree. It would be fantastic for us if JJ doesn't get picked up next year. I'd love for UNT to have a successful, Dean Smith/John Wooden-type patriarch of basketball.

I agree with your sentiment. I like Dodge as a guy. I like that he values the guys more as men than as football players. I hope that one day we're fretting about some SEC school interviewing Dodge like we are about JJ (so glad he's still here!). If Dodge cant get it done this year, it's time for him to go. But I really want him to succeed. I hope Coach Canales can help Dodge in being successful, and if he is, I hope he sticks around. I love D-Lo's history here. I don't want his legacy tarnished by his last 3 years here. But, if they can't get it done this season, I'd like to see the entire staff turned over. This is an ultimatum year. No excuses for anyone! Win, or go home.

I wonder if the hiring of CANALES (assuming we turn the ship around, which I do) will change anyone's mind about DODGE. Should he get credit for being a good coach? Part of a good coach's job is to assemble a competent staff of assistants, which Dodge did at SLC, but failed to do (until now?) at UNT. If we fail in the red zone and lose a game next year, who will be blamed? I suppose we will also have to assume that Canales will get a play called before burning 2 timeouts. If the defense gives up 35-40pts/game again this year is it going to be Dodge's fault or will it finally be DeLoach's?

ONE MORE YEAR JOHNNY!! You're impending NCAA tournament breakthrough next year will land you the LSU Job! Then, you can rebuild at the school you want to be at rather than rebuild Auburn for years, and risk the LSU job being taken by some other up-and-comer between next year and then. Johnson will be on the hot seat and his best player just graduated this year (T. Mitchell). ONE MORE YEAR JOHNNY!!

WooHoo! So am I! Go Mean Green! OH YEAAH!!!

The BCS may have set this up for themselves, but ESPN/FSN/All major TV networks/All major sports publications & websites are the ones pumping it up and keeping it going. I would love to know who actually coined the term "mid-major". I would not be surprised if it were one of the above. I think most true sports fans are like you letsgiveacheer. If you're good, you're good... No matter what conference you're in.

Ouch. Seeing those names written down makes it hard to stomach. Next year is a huge year. The better we do next year, the better chance of getting some really good recruits in here to ease the blow. I would love to see Johnny for one more year with these guys. Once we make a deep run in the tourney next year, he can have his LSU dream job.

OK. Now that Rucker is gone, I also want to find out who will be the Mean Green's "jump ball" receiver this year. The tallest reciever left on the roster is Stradford @ 6'2". I suppose they could send Ross or another TE to the corner of the end zone?

Sorry guys, L.Jackson stole my username/pw and wrote this. Sincerest apologies... Go Mean Green!

Go Jaguars! Instead of the eagle screech on 3rd down defensive stands, we'll hear a Jaguar!

C'mon Quoner! If you've been following the news at all you would know that smuggling Latin American 3rd Basemen into America has the borders in complete chaos. It's not every day you find a gold glove Latin American 3rd Baseman. Ron Washington has only found it once!

I thought Ron Washington's favorite was the main money-maker for the cartels... the weed is just side money? If so, how much would legalizing pot really help?

Wow. Something so simple... It slips my mind sometimes too if I'm riding in the backseat. Never when I'm driving though! Buckle up Mean Green Fans!

Hey, there's always O'Douls! Mmmm!

Ready to see the following: Coach Canales' rapport with the offense. Coach Hines' rapport with the receivers. Riley's improvement (and hopefully added lbs). Linebacker competition. The Juco CB's The under-center & TE sets!! Anything in particular y'all will be watching for?
