Top 10 after one season. freakin' ridiculous -gm

Pending the bowl finds a new home, I would like to see the bowl game do something to honor the victims of this tradegy...a la the '01 NO Bowl game with Colorado St. Following the 9/11 incident, most Mean Green fans here I'm sure can remember the field-sized American Flag in the shape of the States being waved in honor of those that were lost. I was fortunate enough to be in the Green Brigade that year and I got to be on the field holding the edge with other band members...including those from the Colorado St's band. I don't think I'll ever forget that. Is something being considered for Katrina vicitms? Should something be considered? -gm

I was thinking about this today. Obviously, Coach Dickey and Co are going to take advantage of the situation and get more than a few extra days to look at MTSU film and prepare the team. The flip side of this, and it worries me, is that MTSU will go into the game against us with a veteran squad AND a game under their belts. I think that is a HUGE advantage for them. I would think the biggest learning curve of the season is after that first game, when the players put all that practice into the situation for the first time and walk away having a much better idea of how things are going to feel. Thoughts? -gm

Why the UTEP hate?

I don't think there's any question the coaches will look to MTSU when/if the LSU game is cancelled. And an extra week of MTSU preparation would do wonders for the worriers on the board. As for Mac and Southlake Carrol...I never knew of the connection. Did Mac actually coach there before he was at MTSU? How long has he been in Mufrees'? -gm

Considering a game hasn't been played, there's nothing to say why not. We've won a bowl game with a freshman that took his first snap in front of 70+ thousand fans. Just like Troy last year, we had a fantastic defense in '02, but after 4 consecutive bowl games, many can make a case that the recruits on the field today are more athletic than what we've had in the past. Who's to say they can't play better than 3 years ago? Considering our track record against OOC opponents, I'm not holding my breath on this one until we start getting wins again (OOC). But streaks are there to be broken, and how many LSU fans would go home cursing Miles' name if the Mean Green some how pull it off? We've got nothing to lose. Here's to an injury-free game -gm

Man! you're a good read, GGII. Always good to see your stuff. -gm

Oh the irony If Mac wins with that passing game that has lost to us 4 years running, he gains rep. But if Dickey wins with the running game...oh wait; he has been. Where's the mid-major quip in our direction? w/e...say what they want because I want Dickey to stay. I dont see any national passing leaders or recievers coming from this "solid teacher of the passing game". So tell me, who'd you take if you had to pick one: Andy Mac or Dan Hawkins (Boise St)? -gm

Ransom should consider a new 'do. Just a thought. -gm

Lets give a cheer for U of N T!!!

it's been brought up a couple times. Specifically, I remember a link given to his profile on the NY site. -gm

I can't help but wonder how the defense will fair against the running backs of other teams as they get used to practicing against the likes of Thomas and Cobbs everyday. -gm

I never even thought of that until you said that. I took it more in line with "is he going to enter the NFL early". -gm

HUH? Last time I checked, the Sun Belt is the reason we've been to the NO Bowl 4 straight years. Do you genuinely believe that being anywhere else [in any other conference) we'd be in the position we're in with the athletic buildings/stadium? You can throw all the TV exposure/contracts/# crunching at me about other conferences and what they have to offer, but, face it, we weren't ready for anything else 4 years ago and our current dominance (in the Belt) is the only reason we are afforded the opportunities given to us now....that and RV. It absolutely boggles my mind; not how people wish we were somewhere else, but how some people competely underappreciate what the Belt has done for us up until now. Am I the only one grateful for it? -gm PS: I for one, however, could do without the recent favors that the conference has granted the MUTS in their favor regarding our series with them. 2 years in a row at their place, and now this second-week-of-the-season crap?

I'd give the Bowling Green QB a shot: Omar Jacobs.

Don't laugh: one day that will replace the "Eagles" as our official mascot. -stv

How bout mini-Ditkas...driving a bus? Concerning Basher being the best D coach ever...anyone want to argue for De Loach? I can't say I'm in a position to do that since I know nothing of Basher's coaching days. All I CAN say is that miss DeLoach A LOT. -gm

In the red backpack? Who's carrying you? sorry had to do that -gm

I noticed that...did we actually have a player with that name or is that a little snl humor inserted in there? TO BILL BRASKEY -gm

I have to also add props to Ark. St for being #8 in the Special Teams list. Go Belt! -gm

Not much to complain about from cfn RB rankings: clicky

"more raw speed" What does that mean?

Man, I'd love to be able to put that in my resume, but all i know is basic html coding and flash. php/css/etc...the stuff where it gets interesting is something beyond me for a little while. Hopefully I can say differently before next summer.

is gmg.com ever going to have a front page again? -gm

Good to have you as a UNT fan. Don't take my perception as a knock on UNT though: I think any athletic director in the country, including ones in Austin, Ann Arbor, Tallahassee, etc would DREAM to have a 1/3 ratio that gives 1000 dollars.
