Moves closer to becoming a reality. My Tongan neighbor and I are headed to Denton to watch the Euless Trinity vs. Allen game Saturday. He says there is starting to be a lot of talk among current Euless players about UNT. Let's all give the Euless folks a big Apogee welcome this weekend and let them know what some of them are already thinking: that UNT and Denton are places where that Polynesian spirit can thrive.

I had a Euless dream once, but a storm front blew threw and knocked me away for six months in the aughts. Now all that's left is an old statue of a Euless eagle and a tattered Chone Figgins jersey. I hope yours ends much better.

Maybe Mac's gonna' get us a big ol' Tongan and put him at QB.

Totally fits the ball protection mentality.

Big hands to protect the ball.

We'll run a QB draw every down. Three yds and a cloud of dust.

And it's easy to know the playbook backwards and forwards.

Seriously, hope we are able to get a pipeline into recruiting these players.

Nope. No UNT coaches could be spotted by my eyes, yet I saw two SMU coaches one is the new recruiting coordinator. Parking was a joke. Traffic flow was also a joke. Even more so than game day for UNT. Heard several sly comments from Allen fans that this "wasn't a UNT game and they needed to get more staff." While I couldn't have agreed more about staff. I was kind of pissed so I replied sir, we actually have the same type of attendance for our home games as well. I did hear multiple people complaining about restrooms. One woman said 2 out of 20 stalls she went into had TP. THAT WAS 4 minutes into the game. Womp womp.

On the flip side I did hear a ton of fans from both sides remark on how nice of a stadium we had and how they were very impressed.

I want to believe they were up in the boxes or a suite possibly? Who knows?

If Rules allowed,... They should have been green head to toe and stuck out like a sore thumb. And that "event" at club level... Hmm 7 people sat outside in the seats to watch the game. Looked like most of the suites were being used.

Lifer suggested in another thread that host schools are not allowed to be on the field with potential recruits.

Then they forgot to tell Chad Morris because he was on the sidelines at SMU today and was interviewed on the sidelines in the 2nd quarter of the Cedar Hill vs Southlake Cheaters game.

I know that used to be the rule, but I wasn't sure anymore. It's one of the few recruiting rules that actually makes sense.

I'm surprised at the number of SMU coaches at the game since their football team was playing (and winning!) at UConn today. Did someone take a Concord out of mothballs?

I hope the Trinity players thought the stadium was great although the game didn't go their way.

Folks from Euless commented about how nice the stadium is (probably the first time most of them saw it). I think the attendance was very close to the best (Houston?) that we have had there, so yeah kinda weird. I hated it that Allen won. As I was leaving, I heard one of the Allen fans saying that he "hoped the next game wasn't played here", so now I really hate them. Sorry, just the way I feel.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      3 times within 15 yards and walking away with 0 points. There is nothing about that that is on the defense. Emmitt is right.
