I am making a statement about my views!

Green Grenade II · May 27, 2006

Often I make posts on this board...and my comments make some really ticked off, while others just think I'm nuts! For those people who take huge exception to my rantings pro and con...all I have to say is...get a life!

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and often my elevator stops before reaching the second floor.

What I am trying to say, is, (gasp)...we have Darell Dickey as our head coach. That is a fact! We, so far, have Ramon Flanigan as our very offensive coordinator, and I do mean "offensive." I'll really be impressed when he is able to read a playbook.

I like our chances to win our first two games. But then, again, it's sort of like winning the lottery. Which odds are better. Stay tuned. On beating SMU, I know for sure our older alums hate SMU. I do. Hopefully, our coahing staff will have a game plan ready for both Texas, and especially SMU. Any thought of using whatever semblance of a game plan used against Tulsa last fall...should be shredded, post haste!

I am a "died in the wool" Mean Green fanatic.

My friend Plum knows about wool, right?

Rick, that would be mohair for goats--wool for sheep, CITY SLICKER! I am a goat ropin' son-of-a-gun who raises 32 GOATS! (plus 3 quarter horses)

Still, funny stuff, GGII...

If someone will enligten many of us as to how are MG DL is going to make a rags to riches transformation from last year to this upcoming 2006 campaign with players that have little or no D1-A playing time (unproven commodities in other words) then there might be more believers of our improved competitiveness this Fall, but after looking at Lindy's 2006 National NCAA D1-A college football magazine today at a Fort Worth Borders Book Store, a Mean Green football team that Lindy's ranked #105 among all other 117 D1-A schools might find an SMU (or similar) to be a more than formiddable opponent as we play the Ponies the 2'nd game of this season @ Fouts Field (& that only after we open against the defending national champion Texas Longhorns the week before down in Austin).

BTW, Lindy's 2006 College Football Magazine picked NORTH TEXAS to finish 3'rd place in the SBC this Fall with both ULaLa (ranked #83) and Troy U (I believe it was) in front of us. I thought that a generous ranking on Lindy's behalf in light of what we witnessed last Fall. Lindy's does have some extremely nice things to say about our Mean Green's Super Jamario Thomas, though.

Somehow/someway, this football program is going to have to find a way to get out of the century+ numerical rankings that the large majority of SBC football teams seem to annually find themselves with most of the pre-season and post-season football season rankings. Any dramatic or novel ideas on how we get started with such a bold project as that?;(
