As some of you may know from watching the news tonight one of my brothers, a fellow Dallas officer, was killed by a murder suspect. I ask that, if you are the least bit religious, you pray especially for the officer's family and for me...and Lera because she's a wreck (again) right now.

Thank you.

I spent yesterday morning at the World Trade Center site in New York. While looking at the various photos of police officers and firemen I noticed many that had the captions: "______, an NYPD/FDNY officer, helps people to safety before going back in to help more. He/She died in the collapse." Between those photos and the thoughts of those in my own industry we lost that day, I got so choked up that I had to walk away for a while. I couldn't handle it.

I'd bet that every person who has ever murdered a police officer has been helped by one at one point in their lives... You guys do what is necessary to keep others safe all the time, no matter who they are, yet it takes the death of an officer to make people realize that the cops are more than just guys that hand out tickets when you're in the wrong.

Emmitt, you and your brothers have the most thankless job on the planet and are deserving of our prayers all the time...and especially right now. Your fallen comrade, your department, and you & Lera are in my thoughts tonight. Take care of yourself out there, my friend.

Pray for his family and his fellow officers who must now deal with the loss of a comrade and friend. When something like this occurs, I still get a vivid flashback to over 40 years ago when I & another officer knocked on the door of a close friend to notify her that her husband (also a DPD officer) had fallen in the line of duty. If you're ever at Police Headquarters, look at the Wall of Honor that has the photographs of officers that have lost their lives in the line of duty. A somber experience.

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of life of a man committed to serving the public good. I very much respect the sacrifice made by men such as yourselves, and I grieve with the family that has to suffer such a terrible loss. Emmitt, your family and the family of the murdered officer will certainly be in our prayers.

I am always grateful for the Police and always pray for your safety. You guys and girls deserve all of the respect in the world.

I am also very grateful and pray for the safety of Rick and all of the firemen.

      How FAU Could Afford To Fire Tom Herman (a sensible contract clause)

      The FAU head coach signed a five-year contract with a base salary of $750,000, including annual incremental increases. For the 2024 college football campaign, Herman’s salary will be $1 million. He’ll earn $1.25 million in 2025, $1.35 million in 2026, and in the final year of the contract, he’ll earn $1.5 million. Herman hadn’t been a head coach since the 2020 season when Texas fired him. He spent time as an analyst for the Chicago Bears in 2021, but made his return to college football when the Owls hired him after the 2022 season. With FAU headed to the American Athletic Conference, the Owls needed a coach who had experience and could recruit the area well. Herman recruited well at his previous stops, and the administration believed he could do it again in Florida. If FAU terminates his contract, he will be paid a lump sum of 20 weeks of his annual salary or the remainder of the contract, depending on which number is lower.

      Earth to GMG

      The coaches caused the NIL issue in the first place with their outsized salaries and ridiculous employment contracts. And you better believe these AD's and coaches all are in on it and look after each other's financial interest. The players saw this and said "screw it" I'm getting paid too. How many of you on GMG have an employment contract or make what these clowns do a year? If you add up all the players and coaches and staff, what is that? Like 150 people? Even Ohio State's annual budget is only $215 million. In the business world, managing $200/million/year and 150 people isn't that big a deal and you certainly won't be compensated like a college football coach. This system is rigged! I say that coaches should be at will employees like the rest of us, now that they screwed up College Football.

      No. I don’t want to reward my 6-7 team for beating another 6-7 team. #ReallyNewDenton

      Two years in....

      At the end of last year I graded Morris with a D (up from mid-season D- because he won the last two games). Many thought that grade was too low, but so far, I think either D or D- is still appropriate. Here are the wins under coach Morris along with the records of the teams we beat. 2023 LaTech (3-9) ACU (5-6) Temple (3-9) Tulsa (4-8) UAB (4-8) 2024 South Alabama (6-5) SFA (7-5) Wyoming (2-9) Tulsa (3-8) FAU (2-9) So after two seasons, the signature win in coach Morris' tenure is arguably Southland Conference and FCS-level Stephen F. Austin. Let that sink in. If South Alabama beats Texas State on Saturday, then we can probably elevate them to the signature win. Yay us. If it wasn't for Chad Morris falling in our laps, I'm not sure we get any of the five wins we currently have. This was/is the guy to take us to the next level? What a complete debacle.
