I could not agree more as DD was a crony move by Helwig. If RV tries this I say adios to him as well, promote Hank to A D and get a coach with the savings from DD and RV's termination. With that we can entice a Todd Dodge, Major Applewhite, Charlie Waters, or Steve Kraigthorpe. An RV crony from old ties is way too much like what drug us down to this point in the first place!!!!!!!!!

It was called stumble, fumble. and fall. We carried it out to perfection.

Charlie Waters has coached in college before and would probably consider an offer

Heard we were considering OC @ So. Miss. If true we'll just perpetuate the demise of this program. We need to great real with recruiters who are known in Texas high schools, i.e. Todd Dodge, Major Applewhite. It was sickening to see players from McKinney, Plano, etc. playing for ASU, but until we make a hire who can recruit in TX and decide to fund a D-1 program and not a wannabe, expect the same results.

Game of ALL games for Fouts Field. Never has so much been at stake in a Denton home game--lose and we might as well tell 1 AA to make room ' cause we are on our way!!

Good point on the DD situation. Numerous winning coaches at NT would have done back flips to have had the facilities, players, salary, and benefits that he feels obligated to bemoan every time he opens his mouth. Saturday is showtime--DD is not outclassed and there should be no whinning--either get out there and WIN the biggest game on the schedule or look for the door ' cause if you don't the fans will have already found it for this year. This is not the only game of the 2006 season--JUST THE BIGGEST FOR THIS OR ANY OTHER YEAR TO COME TO FOUTS!!! WIN IT---KICK THE PONIES REARS!!!!

I beg to differ with the subject of this thread--- THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN SAT IS A LOSS TO THESE ARROGANT HORSES' REARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am ready and fired up even after the not so great effort I witnessed in Austin. I am hoping for the best Sat and will be at Fri. night Clark Park Pep Rally and early Sat. tailgate, Spirit shirts in hand for sale @ $7.each at each venue.. As I have feared since this game was scheduled, alums and fans appear to be more fired up than players , coaches , and students. I never, ever wanted to win a game more than this one, and that includes this year's Rose Bowl that I attended with my two UT grad sons. I like some others on this board consider this a lost season without a victory over the horses' rears from the hilltop!!! I listened to them vs. TT on the road back from Austin. I truly don't believe that there is a great talent gap, and that the home field can be the difference. We just can't be subdued or bashful and MUST RAISE HELL THE ENTIRE GAME!!!! You can bet I will do my part--I may need some help from FFR and Emmitt with those clowns in the yellow shirts before this one is finished!!!

I would take that attendance right now for our game with FIU and it's homecoming. Ditto for Stebo's comments ---fantastic draw all considered!!

I should have one extra ticket in the North Texas section and also have access to two tickets high in the upper deck of the press box side but on about the 40 yard line, but in the UT section. You can pm me before noon. I will be at the party at the Doubletree Club Hotel tonight and the tailgate tomorrow morning. I will be selling the "Kick Smu t-shirts" at each .

I'll be there just as I have for every game of the series, but I truly hope our perception of ourselves after the debacle does not carry over to the next week's real contest with those hated, arrogant horse's rears from the Hilltop. That's when the performance really counts. No matter what happens in Austin --BE THERE SEPT. 9th. Come early, be loud, be proud. GO MEAN GREEN!!!

1) This is the last year of the UT series and it WILL NOT be renewed 2) Our gaurantee is $285K while UT rakes in $4 million 3) We refuse to play home games out of Fouts Field, which means you get none of the top 25 for home games. Playing overmatched on the road gets more injuries and no good press 4) Fighting hard could have some effect but depth will finally come through. I just don't want to see a "run up the white flag effort" after any UT success, i.e., Benson's run the last time ended the game almost before it started.

I agree that losing to the defending national champion is no disgrace. Losing to an SMU team that figures to be thrashed by TT in the home opener would be disgraceful to say the least!!! Take that you horse huggers!!

First play -quick kick UT 77 NT 3 Godzillatron short circuits from overheating trying to keep up with the rapid fire scoring

DD is lamenting our strength of schedule while any other D-1 coach would be doing handsprings. If players believed they could win, 11-1 would be a possibility, but with staff's attitude 4-8 is reality. If you want to feel sorry for someone just look at the rest of the SBC's OOC schedule.

Your reaction is just what I would expect from the #1 Horse Hugger on this board!!

How about turncoat leads horses' rears to metro brilliance? Everytime I see the Collins Athletic Complex I feel it is a monument to the lack of cooperation from what has to be the strangest college town on the planet.

Yeah but if Flannigan will not let him run the offense let Flanny do it himself. He proved you can remain eligible for at least 7 years while at SMU. I'm sure he could pull another year of eligibilty from somewherte.

NT took over 10K fans to UT in the game vs. Earl Campbell, but that was back when we had coaches that actually made players believe it was possible to WIN OOC games!!! DD (0-92) just wants to get the Sat. morning check and get outa Austin ASAP!!! Winning an OOC is only a delussion enjoyed by GMG posters. Ditto for SMU, Tulsa, Akron, and La Tech!!

Didn't you know that all OU players are on the payroll?? How can Benson be overrated after that first almost humorous if not just plain sad run 2 years ago where he shreaded NT tackles like water off a duck's back. If he is overrated what does that say about our defense??

BEWARE----PHIL BENNETT IS DD'S OLD KSU BUD AND THIS IS ANOTHER OOC GAME WHERE DD & STAFF SELDOM SHOW UP---MEANS MUCH MORE TO FANS THAN COACHES, PLAYERS, OR STUDENTS---ALL ARE CONTENT TO HAVE NOSES RUBBED IN IT BY 'STANGS ONE MORE TIME. ONLY FANS CAN DEMAND A WIN OVER SOUTHERN MISERABLE UNIVERSITY HORSES' REARS!!!!!

The new President EXPECTS to BEAT SMU!!!!

COACHES INTO IT AS MUCH AS FANS????? What a laugh---this is an OOC game as are SMU & Tulsa which translates to DD & staff fail to show. As I've said before if we beat UT I will be in the market for ice skates because HELL will have frozen over and it will be mighty cold up her. I'll be there for FRI. party and Sat. tailgate--- bring plenty of booze --UT 72- UNT 3

HOW ABOUT 0-92 UNDER DD IN TWO GAMES?????

As I've said before this isn't about profit, it's about getting the word out that Sept. 9th is a BIG game. I see where DD's long time buddy from KSU days, SMU coach Phil Bennett, says his " much easier" Sept. schedule should propel SMU into its first post death penalty bowl game. I wonder how TT feels about that since horses' rears kick off the season in Lubbock. With DD being buds with PB, this smacks of DD treating it as just another ho-hum OOC game much as he did KSU last year when the visit to Manhattan, KS was just a good ole homecoming with little emphasis on the game. My message is go to Austin, party down, hope our kicking game can limit the carnage, but put on your game face for 9/9 as it will take enthusiastic students and fans to motivate the dept., coaches, and players that North Texas people EXPECT to beat SMU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
