You and your facts!

USA! USA! USA!

Nope. I think his numbers are a reflection of games at Texas Stadium, and a result of a big time attendance push in 1994 to meet D1A requirements.

UNT needs all the fans it can get. For a coach to call any of the UNT's fans "f@#&ers," is idiotic. Of course, so is having our OC physically restrained to prevent an assault on a fan in the stands. Nothing surprises me anymore. As far as the "us versus them" mentality, it sure would be nice if the "us" included UNT players, alumni, fans, and coaches, and the "them" included the opposition... As it is, it appears DD is fostering an atmosphere of resentment.

I thought the funds would be earmarked for the scholarship fund...

Why don't you see if you can get someone to donate the shirts (like the AD), then use that $15.00 fee to go the scholarship fund? If 30 people play and you charge $15.00 for shirts, then you've just raised $450 right there. just a thought...

Perhaps next year we should have an RHA season promotion. Getting the college kids to the game makes all the difference.

Who are these people advocating going 1AA?

What would Sigmund Freud say about the above post?

Come on, dude.

My last post on the issue. One thing is for sure: this game will involve big time hoopla, as well it should. I think your quote above is a slippery slope, E. Cannot the same be said about USC's schedule? USC had 3 games where they won by 10 or less: Ariz St., Fresno St., and ND. Ariz St. lost to Stanford. Yes, 5-6 Stanford. Fresno State lost to LaTech. Shoot, we stayed within 40 of LaTech, so you know they must be horrible. Notre Dame lost to 5-6 Michigan State. ... I'm not putting any stock in this argument, I'm simply saying that that which can be criticized about UT can also be criticized of USC. No doubt, the Big XII was down this year - especially the north. Nevertheless, I think TX actually lived up to the hype this year... for once. As for USC, no doubt they've found a way to win, which is definitely impressive, and though the Pac-10 is historically known as a weaker BCS conference, running the table is running the table. I don't think the Austin media market is quite up there with L.A., and trust me you will not find a greater ally in terms of frustration with the UT hype machine... but that's pretty much a Texas thing. In New Orleans, if you say UT, people aren't sure if you're talking about Texas or Tennessee. The hype, outside the state, is not comparable. I will be cheering for the less-evil empire (UT) against the evil empire (USC) in January.... Does that make me a commie?

Listen, my argument is well-reasoned, though-out, and wholly dependent on logic and wisdom: Me no like USC. So what if I don't conjugate or mess up some pronouns here and there. And I agree, USC is good. Shoot, they probably would run the table in the Sun Belt. I simply think they're overhyped (as in they get the L.A./national media attention much more so than any southern school)... I think LSU would have beaten them a few years ago, and I hope UT beats 'em this year.

Southern Cal is much more Texan than the University of Texas. Trust me, I'm no UT lover - I get sick to my stomach with all the UT talk here in Austin - there is no sports radio, only UT sports radio. But I really, really don't like USC - the overhyped team that is the Trojans. I'll be cheering for UT come 1/4/06. That doesn't happen very often.

Me no like Trojan. Trojan bad. State of TX good.

I think it speaks volumes to the hype that USC gets, and that the Heisman is really decided based on 1 or 2 games at the end of the year.

Good post.

Good post.

Ease up, hombre! The SBC hasn't earned much respect at this point in its existence. The national reputation is exactly what this writer opines. Until we and other teams in our conference start winning OOC D1A games, the reputation of our league and our league champion's bowl will be pretty bad. No one to blame but ourselves... and the other SBC teams...

The Phantom Professor

Wow. I can't believe an SEC team like Tennessee would bend the rules like that...

You make the point that some people "are taking this hating Dickey thing a little too seriously" in response to a post that references Animal House and the pop-culture icon Donald Trump? That, my friend, is ironic.

RV: let's put DD on double-secret probration. If he doesn't win 2 OOC games next year, sit him down in the board room and point at him with your left index finger and say "You're fired."
