On a scale of 1-10, the attention of the MUTS fans was 2 after the int-td by Holman. Attn of the UNT fans doubled.

True, but I think what's more important is that Dickey is not showing all of his eggs at the beginning of the season.

rinse and repeat, please. I'm bumping this baby to see if anyone else caught that. -gm

I think somebody better let Kragthorpe know about this.

E-ghad! I think you might be onto something. -gm

huh? every sport? *looks over to women's soccer*

It's awesome when we've established such a history in the running game, as which an opponent (win or lose) feels holding our RB to < 150 yards a "dominating" defensive performance. The way I see it, Cobbs still has a 100+ yard game, Thomas nearly hits 6 yards/carry average, and Meager throws 0 picks. I think most teams would be content with that formula. -gm PS: congrats on your first sack of the 5 year series with us.

...until then beat the crap outta Akron and we'll put it all out on the field for Tulsa. Feel free to take some other OOC games, too.

Nice observation. It's fun to think how good this team can be, not just through this season but through the next two. We are so young right now, that many of these players will be starting together for several seasons. Kinda scary to think what a good coach *cough*DICKEY*cough* can groom this team to be. -gm

What a sad spin...not exactly a point that applies right now. We have him through the 2006 season. Cheer up, -gm

There's a lot of talk of Meager, Cobbs, and Thomas. What about Johnny...I know he didn't have a 'monster' game, but what about his presence on the field? I'd like to hear some witnessess' thoughts/perceptions. Maybe even something about the recievers and secondary in general. thanks, -gm

bingo -gm

The pic is of the old unis being sold on the UNT surplus page.

I'm not so sold as I used to be on the "unforced turnover" debate. Your offense ran nothing knew to Marks yesterday, as I'm sure every formation and read that he had to perform was rehearsed at some point last season and this past fall/spring. Whether a UNT player is in his face or not, a bad decision was made because he's thinking he has to make a play before too long, or a UNT player is eventually going to be there to kill the play. On top of that, the UNT player has to actually be in his own position to make the interception/play/what-have-you. If the UNT players are not on the field, does he make the same bad decision as if it's simply playing catch with his recievers? That may be a weak argument, but to some extent, that can be argued to be a forced turnover. correct me if I'm wrong. -gm

So who invented the 12th man?

I was in the College of Music's Concert Hall lobby when a couple of us noticed it on the tv. It took about 5 minutes, but the whole lobby became standing room only, shoulder-to-shoulder packed; all of us just soaking in how mind-boggling that really was. -gm

Ashlan Davis, I believe. He killed UTEP last year. -gm

You beat Vandy?

TEXAS!!!

In a less-than-shocking result, the NCAA has now banned any use of the mascot "Dr" from OU games. Including post-season play, you will only see "OU Peppers", because Native-Spriters believe it too exclusive to those who only drink that particular carbonated drink.

Point taken. The irony of the whole CU situation is that usually when the team is WAY behind, they start thinking pass. Like I pionted out earlier, Thomas had 117 before CU went up by 2 scores. That's Dickey-ball for ya. -gm

An interesting fact from the UNT athletics preview (not really significant, though). UNT has a 16-0 series advantage in sacks over MTSU. And this "could" be our best o-line yet. ##crosses fingers##

interesting find. what can we learn from this? -gm

FWIW, Thomas had 117 yards in the Colorado game last year when CU went up 28-14. I would think coaches lean towards slinging around a bit more when they're down 2+ TDs. Dwone Hicks got front page in USA Today in 02. It doesn't mean he's the best in the country, but how many MTSU posts did we read claiming he could start for [insert SEC team here]. BTW, we finally have a competent secondary coach. I'll take this stat: 2001, UNT (0-5) 24, MTSU (5-0) 21 I was FAR more concerned back then than I am now.
