My son and I had a great time. The boy wanted Jamario Thomas and Johnny Quin to sign his football and he got his wishes and then some.

I want to thank the players that came and gave their time for us and coach Dicky for making me and my son feel like part of the mean green family. Coach Dicky looked like he was in playing shape. I wish him continued health. ncaa 08 will have to re-animate him

We too had a great time. It was an amazing turnout considering it was around 100 degrees. The endzone upper deck was packed. The food was good and the band was excellent. It gave me a chance to see all of you again and start talking together about the greatest time of the year coming up very soon.

Props goes out to Paul Batchelder, Mandy McKinley, RV, Hank, Eric Capper, Brian Bethea, Jamie Adams, Gabe Kirkpatrick, Mike Berela and the rest of the NT AD dept. I want to especially thank the coaches and players for giving up their last free saturday evening to spend it with us. Monday the pain begins.

Next friday is the first day in pads. Next saturday is simply a two a day practice and the first outright scrimmage is the following Wednesday the 16th.

I want to also make a comment about Coach Dickey and the majority of the coaching staff. There has been a noticable difference in the outreach of the coaches to extend friendship with the fans and program supporters. We have all been critical in the past of the perceived "coldness" in talking with coaches when approached in public. I have had more meaningful and enlightening conversations with DD and staff in the past month than I did in the entire 8 years before - combined.

Whether you're a skeptic or not, the bottom line is this - there is an effort being made and that's all fans can ask for. This is how you begin a serious outreach with the alumni and community and I for one are glad to see it happen. Ups and downs happen within a program. It's happened at UT, USC, Michigan etc. very few get on top and stay on top. However, a down year is much easier to take when you can feel for the staff, talk with them, understand their thoughts, and know where they are coming from - thank you.

BTW, I know how some on this board can be. This is not an excuse for a bad year or accepting losses. It just is what it is. If you have a relationship with those involved, you have better understanding and can empathize.

Saturday was a great time. Did anyone check their Mean Green car flag? On the one I got the flag is on upside down with spikes holding it down so I can't remove it without damaging it. Did anyone else have this problem?

I didn't have a problem with my flag.

I did however wonder what sort of "ice cooler" we were being given as a MGC gift. I thought that it looked rather odd for a soft-sided cooler, so I looked up the web-site for the product. Here is the link.

I thought that it looked like a wine bottle cooler. And sure enough, that's what it is.

I wonder, does that mean that we can start bringing wine into the games? rolleyes.gif

hey, we mean green fans are a classy bunch! Its all Beaujolais, caviar and Perrier over here laugh.gif

I dragged the girlfriend up for the festivities Saturday and we enjoyed it. Got to meet a few of the players and spoke with RV for a little while. Was very encouraged by the things he had to say. He also indicated they would be having some sort of similar function in Houston next year for all the Houston-area alumns.

Great job, athletics department! Glad I made the trip

Funny. I was just about to start a thread called "Can anyone explain this cooler to me?" I don't understand where the snaps come in. I'll check the website.

      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.
