This will be the year we go down to Austin and take care of business (and I do not mean somewhere in the middle of Sixth Street).

Really, though, Coach Dickey has not distinguished himself during his two coaching trips to Austin. However, this time it's gonna be soooooo different. Why, you ask, football breath? Because Coach Dickey wants this game more than you can even imagine. Win vs Texas and no one can ever complain again about not winning OOC. He will be enshrined in that hallowed hall called the NT Football Hall of Fame. He may even be considered for College Football's Hall of Fame.

He did beat Texas Tech in 1999 after losing to LSU, 0-52. I have always like Coach Dickey. I heard he even is thinking about joining the Hair Club for Men, but they told him they could only go so far. One thing also is sure...he will coach the Mean Green to a victory over the SMusless Mustangs, September 9th at Fouts Field.

Shock value noted... As much as I wish you were right, even Coach Dickey knows the real deal. He said specifically that he could beat UT in Austin and we would throw a ticker-tape parade on Fry Street for the coaches and team.... then lose against SMU at Fouts and everyone would again want the coaches shot! I laughed at that, but I think he is probably right. If some fans have turned on him after four straight trips to New Orleans... then only one losing season?, I thnk we can safely say the UT game doesnt matter as much to the fans as the SMU game here. We all know that and so does Coach Dickey. I promise you he wants to win them both, but he also knows we stand a better chance against S&MU. That doesnt mean he wont game-plan for the win in Austin, but Jamario will have to pull a "Colorado Game" for us to have a chance.

I do like the optimism. As for me, I would love a 10 win season, but I will take an SMU win and a few days in Harrah's New Orleans!!! (Which just re-opened by the way)

GMG!!!

What I'd actually like to see is bodybag games removed from this record as a point of reference... If we remove all losses to top 5 teams what is the record? huh.gif

I can't tell you about losses to top 5 teams; that's only a handful. But, here is the final record of all of the teams that we lost to during Dickey's tenure:

12-2 1

11-1 1

11-2 3

11-3 2

10-2 1

10-3 1

9-2 1

9-3 1

9-4 3

8-3 1

8-4 1

8-5 2

7-4 2

7-5 4

7-6 1

6-6 1

5-6 3

4-7 1

4-8 1

3-8 4

2-9 1

1-10 1

Of the 5 non-conference Division 1-A wins:

7-7 1

6-5 1

6-6 1

3-9 1

1-10 1

Admittedly, we have played some very tough teams. There are 11 games that we lost to less than .500 though, and with all of our conference championships, you'd think that we could've won at least half of that number. Our only win over a better-than-.500 team was over 6-5 Texas Tech.

Although it wasn't asked for, here are the season records of the conference teams that we beat:

10-3 1

8-3 1

7-5 1

6-5 1

6-6 1

6-7 1

5-6 5

5-7 2

4-7 3

4-8 3

3-8 4

3-9 5

2-9 2

2-10 1

1-10 1

1-11 1

We dominated a league whose teams average about four wins a year. We have won five games in the last six years over a team whose season record was above .500.

      Sell Out Next Week?

      I think everyone knows this. It doesn’t make the practice any less dumb. With everything being electronic nowadays they could easily announce the actual attendance. Last night was a jarring example. There weren't more than 22-23K. And what annoys me the most is because of the announced attendance, last night is officially the 5th best attended game in stadium history, which is total BS.

      Did we dump the 3-3-5 for good?

      I mean I’ve spent lots of time talking about this defense (which I do not love) but there aren’t too many gaps. The scheme accounts for gaps, but relies on excellent linebacker play to go along with excellent safety play. For me, it always comes down to the defensive line. In 2013, we ran a 4-3 base and Flusche et al generated pressure with that front four and it made the whole group very good. The next year with the same base we were leaky. The difference was the line. Reffett had a solid defense with Nate Brooks and Kemon Hall at corner and would bring LB blitzes (to make up for the lack of great line play) and it worked. The next year they struggled as the corners couldn’t man up and the pressure was late. Littell’s defenses post Reffet were awful until he lucked into the Murphy twins and upset top 25 UTSA. Mazin Richards helped him get enough to get to the title game the next year. Last year? Awful line play. This year? Better line play. It’s always about line play no matter how many you put out there. Get pressure on the QB or else you lose.

      What's at stake as Pac-12, Mountain West and American Athletic Conference plan their futures

      Memphis and Tulane are weighing their options of joining the Pac-12 or remaining in the American. Depending on who AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti can acquire, staying in their current conference might be the best option for the Tigers and/or the Green Wave. Pernetti is known to desire UNLV and Air Forcefrom what's left of the Mountain West. If the Falcons and Rebels jump to the AAC instead of the Pac-12 then all the sudden the AAC might look more desirable for Memphis and Tulane to stay put. Both Memphis and Tulane are desired by the Pac-12 for their consistency and recent success in football. Both are essentially top 50 TV markets, but Memphis brings a record of success in basketball and Tulane is attractive because it's in New Orleans. (Don't think that presidents and ADs haven't thought about fun weekends in N'awlins while watching their teams play. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/whats-at-stake-as-pac-12-mountain-west-and-american-athletic-conference-plan-their-futures/amp/

      Great Week 4 Uniform Video

      Never was a fan of the script, but I’ve got to admit, we looked GREAT. I like the all green more than I realized as well.
