No worries, Nation: we have 5 mini-Ditkas--driving buses for that matter--just waiting for Dickey to put them on the field to take over. Them Tigers don't stand a lick against us. THATMAKESABAKERSDOZEN -gm back to my asylum kthanksbuhbye

So tell me, Mr. Bill Lumbergh, exactly how much time dooo you spend on those TPS reports? *cough* well... *cough* Did you get the memo?

I wasn't a UNT fan back then, so I can't speak for what it was like. But I thought my own (and probably many others on this board) CURRENT schema my demonstrate my argument against that absurd statement (is it absurd? maybe I'm wrong) If you asked me or any of my crazy football nut friends that we are to name ANY 1-AA playoff team from ANY recent year, I'd give you a blank stare. Maybe those years were special to you, but they were probably a blip to everyone else. And FWIW, the "fake" conference runs and "fake" bowls are what made me a REAL Mean Green fan. Quite frankly, I take that as a shot in the face against the green that runs in my blood. -gm

I'm not going to sit here and read about a change in that game plan. There is no problem with this "game plan". You do things two ways in football: you either run to set up the pass, or you pass to set up the run; both work when you have lines that take care of business in the trenches and a QB that can stretch the field. Isnt' THAT the problem? If Dickey figures out how to beat people in the trenches and then wave the magic wand that gives Meager an arm, suddenly his game plan will be fine.

Who said they were "lightly regarded"? Every publication I read had them as the "sleeper" in Conference USA: easily UTEP's best opponent in the West and possibly overall. After tonight, UAB is the only one that truely worries me, and we get them in the Sun Bowl. I'll be watching Memphis/Tulsa the rest of the way with special interest after their game tonight. Not quite sure what to take of it yet.

I thought we were in this Belt battle together? Talk about beating a dead horse Your words are nothing new to us: we'd love nothing more than to raise that symbollic "Sun Belt flag" a little higher every time we step on the field to represent. While we have always mourned the losses (and cheered for the wins) of nearly every Belt team in the last 4 years-- it is absurd, self-centered comments like your's here from the MUTS that continue to make you the exception to those feelings.

Ark St over FIU in the 2nd: 35-14 LaMo over FAU 28-21 final other games are starting later and are OOC opponents. Quinn just scored from Phillips: yay we scored *edit*: yay we scored, and it was the offense that did it

0 for 9 on 3rd conversions

I think I see Dickey in there calling a draw on 3rd and long...on his way to another Belt championship.

LJ probably locked it. See if he has the key.

If it's any consolation, you can argue it's all relative right? UCLA over UTEXAS Tulsa over UNT oops

isn't that a greyshirt? Or maybe the grey has to do with academics and not health. I'll look it up later. gtg, -gm

Just to take our philosophy a step further: We're built on the run, right? Passing to catch up in a blowout isn't exactly what this offense counts on. When other Belt teams are down, they've had their passing game a little ahead of ours at the early goings of a season to at least fling it around hoping for a score late in these OOC games. Meanwhile, we go down 45-2 and run draws on third and long. Just a thought

PHEW! only 80...

Too late to RS him.

Tell my UTEP team that after what Houston did with the bubble screen all f'in Friday night. -gm

My favorite Stebo post ever.

bump. anyone, plz?

Well, maybe not that last conference part. style_emoticons/style_emoticons/

Sorry, yoiu didn't answer my question: SMU's new stadium got them an invite to CUSA; so then what? They got blasted last night by A&M....one week after a "pretty" win over TCU. I don't see it any different than our random, once-in-20-tries, wins over Tech or Baylor. I'm not buying into the better recruits argument. We have better recruits than we did 3 years ago; and, you know what, I believe the 2002 team would have won last night. The stadium WILL bring the standard up fro recruits, but last night the problem seemed deeper than that. The closest, most logical disection of last night (to me) is FFR's. For the first time in 4+ years, with NO possiblity of overstating this, we have ZERO threat to stretch opposing defenses. Here's hoping they get this together and put up a fight against KSt. -gm PS: is anyone else seeing some parallels between now and the 2001 start?

Doh! nuts...Will we ever see something like that again? At least the yards were lost during 3 downed plays...a few years ago, due to their own penalties, UTEP put itself in a 1st and 40 situation.

A new stadium can ONLY help us improve in certain areas, but I have to play devil's advocate again here: Do you REALLy believe that a new stadium will rid NT of performances like last night? What has to happen for that kind of game to never happen again?

What if SHSt were Sun Belt...

Just got back from the game. Ugly turnovers and MANY false starts on both sides... things started to click for both offenses in the second half and the game was FANTASTIC. I was worried when we had to settle for a FG at the end there in the double OT...we hadn't shown much to slow down UH's screens and runs (they weren't QUITE draws, but I don't know what to call them because whatever blocking they used was killing our DT's). I tip my hat to both teams for putting it all on the field. 45.5K in attendance -gm

Just a thought: Meager had more completions in his first start in this offense than Gunn did tonight for TCU. Make of it what you will. I'll take a W any way Dickey ball gets it.
