Agreed.

Is it just me or does Riley not have the size to be a QB at the d-1 level?

Give me the Tigers....(calling bookie)

I don't think anyone has the energy to debate this tired discussion.

Who is your dealer?

That is about right.

The newspaper industry across the country is in a bind financially, the DMN for the amount of cutbacks they have had in the past 2-3 years does a pretty decent job of covering the 5th major media market in the country. SMU is in their backyard, and any good news/sports director knows you give 1st crack to the team in your own backyard, especially with a new high profile coach. If we remember they did make TD a front page story above the fold. If our economy wasn't in the crapper, the paper wouldn't rely only on Brett's fine work in the DRC and it would have more extensive coverage. As a NT alum, I hate to call a spade a spade, but this is a losing program. Granted, things could get better, but until they are - none of us should whine about not having a full page in the DMN about getting murdered in a game that is not even on television. I also don't want people to blame the media as a whole for ignoring the program either. NT does get coverage, even in Dallas. Yesterday we had George on the Ticket for a full segment to look at the K-State game, and we referenced it all afternoon. During the week Jub mentions the program on his show too. Granted it isn't always taken seriously by others, but in their defense there is a good reason for that.

I know he had a rough debut, but I think that Bo Levi Mitchell will thrive and be a real badass in a few years in Jones offense.

Rice does look beatable. They would be trailing if SMU had ANY defense. I am sure that a DeLoach led unit would not be making the same mistakes. The Owls QB is pretty good though, however I think that Gio is already up to his level. I am soooo cautiously optimistic this season.

I hate to be a bummer here, but I am hoping we simply cover the spead. I know nobody here wants to think about 'moral victories', but a 2 win team from the Sunbelt needs that against a BIG 12 school to open the next season. Hoping for the best.

And grow your own for that matter.....

About f'ing time. Way to go Doogie!! I do hope that these games will be available in dazzling HD.

amen

still arguably more fun than a game at Fouts

If I remember correctly, Jomario was used the same way. His redshirt came off against Texas his freshman year.

Really?? Beau Davidson tiled my shower.

If Todd wants to build this program into a winner and keep winning for years to come, then Riley should be red-shirted this season. There is no reason to have a an under-sized Riley having to deal with a shaky offensive line. Gio is a more physical QB, and at this point in his career a better QB. You have a stable of backups in Meager, Tune, and Phillips that could hold the rope for a game or two if Vizza gets banged up (which could very well happen with this line). I am as intrigued with Riley as much as anyone, but you do have to consider the long-term success for the program. I think Todd does.

Yes, I can confirm this. You will probably hear them for the rest of the Fall I would assume.

Yeah this is North Texas...we are not really into effort. Just ask our administration.

Oh snap.

I love you.

They also have Notre Dame at #49....I wish I could land a gig on the Playboy College Football division at the Mansion.

Just as long as he is no longer here sparing us to death. It doesn't really matter why he is gone to a number of us.

I applaud your willingness to date a broad with a pair of kiddos.

I think I speak for a lot of alums who appreciate the daily blogging of practice on meangreensports.com. Been able to get a good general idea of what is going on up in Denton on a daily basis. Thanks much. High five.
