ESPN's Jim Donnan To Interview Dickey, PCobbs &

PlummMeanGreen · July 23, 2005

This from the new SBC website which one of you may want to link for the entire SBC Media Day schedule. SBC Media Day will also be broadcast "live" on SIRIUS Satelite Radio beginning this next Monday, July 25'th at 9:00 AM.

ESPN's Jim Donnan interview with our Coach Dickey, Patrick Cobbs and Jamario Thomas is scheduled for Monday, 10:30 AM--11:00 AM on the SIRIUS Satelite Radio.

SBC Media Day will actually be "Days" as it is being held on both Monday and Tuesday of this upcoming week.

Also, watch your local newspapers for coverage on those 2 days as well. The Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and (certainly) the Denton Record-Chronicle have given SBC Media Days pretty good coverage in past years. Hey all you Houstonians who are North Texas Exes or Mean Green fans, does it get coverage with the Houston Chronicle, too?

GMG!

Jim...are you sure about that?

When I looked at that schedule....it looked like Jim Donnan was going to be interviewed by the hosts of this Sirius show, and that our trio would follow on that show. It doesn't say that Jim Donnan will do the interviewing, but that he will be interviewed.

At least that's what I read.................

My bad....

I think you are right, SUMG. Maybe they should let him interview our guys since he is most familiar with Darrell Dickey and the Mean Green football program since Donnan has been on many of our ESPN broadcasts the last few years.

I believe the ESPN broadcaster said in a TV broadcast of one of our games that he had coached with DD's dad (Coach Jim Dickey) in the past.

I think you are right. It really is great that the former Bulldog coach has such an affinity for us, as this can only help our cause...
