They killed 4 people and injured and mutilated 280 others.

Rick

The bombing itself killed 3 people though, which is what he wrote. He didn't say they killed four total over a few days.

I never said it was but that part of it is incomplete.

Rick

Yes Rick, but if we are to be fair, it wasn't so long ago that hundreds were killed by Catholic and Protestant extremists in Northern Ireland. Currently there is a Christian extremist group

in Africa that utilizes child soldiers (Lords resistance group in Uganda). I don't think that Christians necessarily need to apologize for them when they talk of their faith nor do I think that

is the case with any other group. All of us are appalled but such activities, but none of us can claim to be part of a group that does not have its own skeletons in the closet.

I actually think Ahmed served his faith well by saying that the extremist hurt all Muslims and don't represent his religion.

If more Muslim leaders spoke like Ahmed, the world would be a better (and safer) place.

I mean.... you're misspelling that on purpose right?

What? We're talking about the Boston bombings and a newspaper article that failed to mention the full extent of the crime committed there. Nothing more.

In that case we won't be able to trust any of your east Texas recruiting observations. Unless you can hear things in a player like Clint Eastwood in Trouble with the Curve... Edited by Army of Dad

Back to sports, I don't understand why Benford gave most of the minutes to Flanagan over Ahmed. Nether were good, but Ahmed should be returning next year. NT better recruit some big men for next year. Other than Combs, NT has a little used Ahmed and a promising freshman.

Because Flannigan is two inches taller and more athletic.

Maybe, but he didn't exactly excel. He did have a few big games, but overall he was very inconsistent. Time is earned primarily at practice, so who knows. It just appeared to me that Amed was never in the game long enough to get any kind of rhythm and I have little confidence at this point in Benford's personnel decisions.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Agreed. No issue at all. People said for years that Kyler was too small. He’s pretty OK, I guess. We don’t need or expect a Kyler, but JimJim should be given every opportunity to compete, regardless of height.

      We rarely get pressure without blitzing people and leaving gaps in our coverage. Moving, I hope, to a four man front and running a more traditional system should help. I don’t think this is purely a talent issue. I think we have very capable players on D that are being put into a system that they’ve never played.

      What to expect from Odom?

      I played baseball and coached softball. No football so I’m lacking the game plan knowledge. I realize there only 2, potentially 3 games left. Know you can’t install a new system or overhaul. But there can be some tweaks, I’m sure. historically, what kind of defenses was Odom associated with? 4-man fronts? Blitzing? Heavy man-coverage? Will we / can we notice a difference as we close out the season? The players will notice a difference, I’m sure, but will we? Honest answers and discussion.

      I appreciate Morris’ honesty and lack of coach speak. I would like to see him succeed here but he has to dial back the aggressiveness on fourth downs a tad. I think getting the defense squared away will help greatly just by taking pressure off of the offense where they feel they have to score every possession. I am intrigued to see what Odom does with this group the remainder of the year. He has a pretty solid resume.
