Everything.

There is a difference between doing away with and scaling back certain programs. Some however must stay in place to keep us from becoming 3rd world in certain areas of our nation. There needs to be some balance, and open minded yet reformative leaders to fix things so we can have the right balance so we can move forward best we can. I do feel it is un-American to turn backs on our fellow citizens and neighbors. I do agree that we need more individual accountability in our society. IMO that goes back to parenting, but that is a differnet conversation.

This is the civil rights movement of our generation. No matter how you feel about gay marriage, it is flat wrong to repress a segment of our population. It's sort of bitter-sweet that on the same day our great country voted in it's 1st black president, the people in California decided to disenfranchise tax-paying gays who want to marry. We still have a long way to go.

Hopefully Obama supporters help our country move forward and improve itself at every turn. I also wish the McCain supporters would do the same. We need to figure some things out here and we need everyone on board working for changes and progress.

Oh snap.

Just....wow....

Sorry I meant to type Jaydub in response to one of his replies. My apologies. But for what it is worth I tend to agree with 95% of what you do type or blog Tasty. Again, sorry.

This moron like thousands in our great land need to come around and pull their heads out of their asses. It's 2008 people. We need to have a greater sense of being a progressive country and not cling to the ignorance of the past.

I agree with most of what Tasty has posted, but Bush did have some knowledge about plans of Al Queda planning a terrorist attack before 9/11. Just sayin... And to answer the overall question of the thread....yes, he was that bad.

Well said.

No matter how you might have voted.....We truly are a great country tonight and as we step forward into a new tomorrow. We strive forward as a progressive nation. Which says oh so much considering what our recent history might have said about all of us. God bless us all and God bless the greatest country on our Green Earth. God Bless America! Tears from my face flow as we unite as one great land and one great people. We have come so far as a great nation. Thank you all.

You see the forest for the trees.

Totally agree

I smell pot.

This is great and all, but it doesn't mean much when our QB's are running for their life.

It is good some of us are using some reason.

I understand that the spread is popular around the country, but it is clearly not working here. I am not opposed to NT running spread formations, but to roll with it exclusively and not utilize a TE or have a short-yardage/goal-line package where the QB is under center with a blocking back or backs is is just simply ridiculous. This is division 1 NCAA football. Not high school football where linebackers generally have no real speed and the DB's have next to no instincts (yes, even here in Texas). Our program not that long ago had a reputation of toughness defensively, and lining it up and running over people offensively. Todd Dodge has effectively killed that. Unless he swallows some of his pride, and finally plays to the strengths of his players and runs a more traditional offense, then there is not much hope as things move forward for years to come. The offensive line is awful. Why? Many at the previous level probably thrived in offenses that ran the ball. I can tell you that most HS o-linemen do not like pass blocking as much as run-blocking. It is a more difficult thing for most to grasp, and when one truly figures it out at that level it is a rare thing. I, like some on the board feel the splits are way too narrow. It seemed our offensive line was a hell of a lot better under Dickey because we made a real effort to run it. Our line was considered better, we produced 1K yard backs like it was not big deal. I do wonder if some of the current linemen that have not panned out would have thrived in our old offense. Vizza is now gun-shy. He took a beating last year and now this season. Gio showed great flashed at times in 2007, but now the lack of success and running for his life has caught up with him, and he is regressing a bit (see David Carr with the Texans). If we didn't run this offense, he would probably be flourishing right now and getting better because in the back of his mind he would know that the running game would be strong enough to take some pressure off of his shoulders to do it all. Which is exactly what Todd is asking of him. None of 'his' recievers are really thriving in this system. Not becuase they don't have talent, but because his system has become somewhat predictable and not that difficult to gameplan for. Teams in the past could gameplan for our running attack, but it didn't matter that much because we could directly oppose our will on the defense. That is not happening at all right now. I am sure all of you Todd apologists will try to shoot holes in my argument, but until this guy checks his ego at the door and overhauls his offenive system, many more sleepless nights, trying to solve our programs problems will occur. You can say what you will about the youth on this team, and the obstacles that TD has to overcome, and the crap about DD leaving the cupboard bare....But the reality is....HE is not making adjustments (like the defense never did in '07)and it is causing this thing to go up in flames. Fire away.

I like your sports

Sorry about all of the confusion. Love you. GMG.

If you actually read my post, I believe I said that I see no real reason to go to Fouts on a Saturday or tune into Jub and Hank, but it doesn't mean that I don't. I still attend games and tune in. In fact I will be there Saturday, I am just having a harder time giving up my time on a Saturday to drive 45 minutes and watch a product that isn't being managed well. Chill out.

How am I shooting the bird at my school by being frustrated over what the hell happens on Saturday afternoons in the fall? I want us to play well and prosper as much as possible, however when there is a true lack of progress on the field under a head coach that was sold to the fan-base as the savior - people are going to be a little ticked and I am one of them. Deal with it. I am not alone here either. If you don't like what I have to say ignore it and move on with whatever point you want to make. Nobody says you have to call me out as a 'fair weather fan', when I pay as much attention, if not more than the vast majority of people that post here. It does bug the hell out of me that members (like you) get so upset with the tone and mood of what members post. Maybe you should get a LIFER.

Eff Bob, I always vote for the most over the top call. Miami's wasn't.

Were they? The lack of Enco is effecting all of us.

Sorry if I don't have my foam finger out and my knee pads on for an 0-7 team that is showing no real signs of improvement. I guess one can't be a true fan of the program if they take off their green tinted glasses and take an honest look at things. Get off your pedestal.

Sadly I am not related to a single Bass on that list.
