Noticed two former UNT players were drafted Friday by the Texas Independence of the new Major Football League which will kick off this spring .Antonio Johnson was taken in the 15th round and Marcus Trice in the 40th round. This was the territorial part of the draft , the open draft was to continue Sat. The coach of the Texas team is Robert Ford a former NFL  and college coach.

Robert Ford coached running backs for the Cowboys during the Johnson era.

Robert Ford was my next door neighbor when I lived in Coppell during the early 90s.  We played golf a few times...once with Butch Davis.  That was cool.  One night, fairly late, Rich Dalrymple knocked on my door by mistake.  He was looking for Robert's house.  I haven't thought about those days in a long time.  Glad to hear he's doing well.

Anyone know what the 8 cities are? It's not loading up for me.

It looked to me like the cities aren't determined. The teams are named after their coaches (Team Ford, Team Cottrell and so on) on the draft list.

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?
