TCU has 30,000 season ticket holders, so they are not going away, and will recruit up to the level of Big 12 conference, just as we will in CUSA.We last played @ TCU in 2002, losing 10-16. We had lost 5-19 in 2001.

In retail sales the view is that if one person complains there are 10 others who feel the same way but don't say anything. What difference does it make who wrote the article. Where there is smoke there is usually fire.

I wouldn't discount UTSA. They are the only game in town, and I would take living in San Antonio over Denton in a heartbeat.Looks like we are recruiting the same football players as Texas State and UTSA, so I don't understand looking down our noses at them. As I recall they beat us at home when we were playing for West Division Title and being host of CUSA championship game, and they were playing for pride.If anyone is a sleeping giant in the next 10 years it might be the Roadrunners.

We don't do the simple things when it comes to marketing. Since we have throwback helmets left over,I would have had some at this event to sell. Also,I would have had mean green club information available at the HOD helmet table, as well as introduce Jessica and announce that if anyone needed information regarding joining see her. I had a successful sales career of 35 years in Health Care and am just amazed at the opportunities we pass up.

Call UNT Athletics @ 940.565.2662 and ask for Dan Johnson.He will hook you up with helmets.

Bleacher report, for what it's worth, ranked our class 11th out of 13 other Texas schools,ahead of such powers as Texas State and Southern.

If they are 12 head coaches in Ft. Worth, then its a problem. If 12 assistants, not so much. Regardless, whoever is responsible for our recruiting in Cowtown should be made aware of this article.

The number of Ft. Worth coaches responsible for our low rating doesn't matter, and last I looked Dickey has been gone 6 years. So far the response of this board appears to be denial. Its like asking customers why they don't like a product and if you get the answer you want it must be them, not us. Regardless, perception becomes reality if not corrected.

We still have one scholarship left for a DT, which we really need. Any ideas as to who is left on the radar?

Sometimes I think our assessment of signees is like 2 people seeing a car wreck. One says the truck hit the car,the other says the car hit the truck. Rivals ranks our class as #107 in nation,#14 in conference.Granted we signed a smaller class than most, but 107th?14th? Are we watching the same movie as Rivals?Perhaps a better way to grade a class is to divide the total number of players sighed into total numbers of players stars to get an average ranking per player, though I haven't taken the time to do so and don't know for sure if it changes overall ranking.

To your point,how does our recruiting class rank within CUSA?

Dan Johnson still has throwbacks for sale at $300

Sorry. I meant wiseass.[just a joke] Go mean green!

I would hope that our recruits would be a step above those of schools like Texas State and ULM. We have arrived, in my opinion, when we win more that we lose going heads up with T.C.U. and S.M.U. We really have a hard time competing with those two privates.

According to DMN 1/29, he had offers from Houston,UNT,La. Tech, and Houston Baptist, with no mention of Southern Miss. However, thanks for the update, smartass.

What about J.T. Williams from Denton Ryan?I don't see him on either Houston or La. Tech's list of signees.

Current update?

Is 22 a small class? I don't know, just asking. UTSA with 11 seems small.

We still have to play at least one money game on the road, which is a long way from the 3&4 we played while Darrell was coach. It's hard for us to schedule home and home with the power conferences on a regular basis. We were able to do so with Kansas State and Indiana, but that is the exception rather than the rule.Anyone who has an idea on how to accomplish this can speak up, otherwise as long as we have 6 home games I don't see what the bitch is.

We seem to spend a lot of time on fashion instead of football. What's the deal?Anyone for pink gloves?

Who was whining about only 5 home games? We could/should be 3&1 when we go to Indiana.

I tried to renew my stadium club season tickets today, was told ticket office can't do it, and transferred to Roy in sales, where I got a recording. After an hour I called back,connected with Roy,put on lengthy hold,and told that Jessica was handling stadium club renewals. Roy also said renewals going out in mail this week, and it would be easier just to wait.Since Troy was promoted, I can't tell who is on first.

I am sure things have changed since I retired from the business community 10 years ago,but at that time degrees from Texas,Texas A&M,SMU, and TCU opened the most doors in DFW. I can't speak to non-business majors.

We lose recruits to schools such as SM,TCU, and in this case perhaps Northwestern because their degree is thought to be more valuable .If Xavier's goal is to play as soon as possible, then either UNT or UH would work.If its' about education, hard to turn down Northwestern.

I recall SMU taking 2 linemen committed to us on last day. Its not over till its over.
