Well, I think ours is slightly more challenging... we're playing two teams who were arguably in competition for a national title last year.

Oh I definitely agree with you on the "heavies" on our schedule. I just think Memphis and Virginia compared to SMU and Navy gives them an edge in the "lighter" portions of our OOC schedules, thus evening it up.

As were Louisville and LSU.

"Dodgeball" was a Ben Stiller movie.

This made me start to think of SBC teams that could have movie nicknames:

FIU - Fight Club

ULM & ULL - Dumb and Dumber

MUTS - Brokeback Mountain

ASU - Pocohantas

FAU -Howard the Duck

Troy - Revenge of the Nerds

Fixed that for you. :D

Smith: Clear.

Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: Yes. I don't think I've ever seen such a flat calm.

Smith: Like a mill pond, not a breath of wind.

Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller: It will make the bergs harder to see... with no breaking water at the base.

Smith: Hmm. Well, I'm off. Mantain speed and heading, Mr. Lightoller.

How is it that Troy is Revenge of the Nerds? It doesn't take rocket science academics to get a degree from Troy. Plus, Larry Blakeney's team is top-heavy with junior college transfers and partial qualifiers--more recruited than any school in 1-A. When I think of nerds, I think of intelligent geeks. Troy is hardly a school for high quality intellects.

fyi: Sam Houston was also from Tennessee. Folks from Tennessee played a big part in Texas winning independence from Mexico but Sam Houston played a much bigger role than Crockett.

Yeah but they can't really claim that Houston was born in Virginia before moving to Tennessee. And as all Texans know you've gotta be born here for it to count.

You are getting a lot of whistling in the dark by NT rivals. They don't know what to make of all these early commits so they are hoping that the players won't stick or that TD is busy offering fringe players.

I want them to stick. We need all teams in the SBC to improve. We also need to make sure we have players who want to be in the SBC, not players who feel like they are settling. I hope the players are good players and I hope they stay true to their word. Dodge could be setting a trend that could benefit all SBC schools.

Maybe something to do with trojans? I can't remember that Adam's mascot. Anybody?

      They ran a video at every game of Jared asking people to give to the "Light the Tower" collective.

      Were we really more negative about Rogers leaving? Sorry, I don't see what @Cooley sees, but maybe I have forgotten some after a year. Regarding some collective donor being pissed Poffenberger isn't starting next year, that's your gamble when you donate to a collective. I pray that they aren't being promised a starting job as it should always go to the most talented, deserving young man.

      Recognition: Thanks MG Teams

      I dont respond much, but I read your posts. Easy for people to point out problems, a loss, holes in defense or missed buckets, etc. Yet, the teams have really stepped up lately. We may have lost a few but i see the hustle and grit. And that impresses me. Ladies BBall broke down in 4th Q, but found a way to win against Memphis. Playing well in the AAC thus far. 11-4 and 3-0 in conf. looks nice. Mens BBall lost to Memphis, but played with heart. Sissoko, Newell and Walker in particular. Great effort. I also think Floyd managed the game, solid performance at the point. Football - I didnt know what to expect in the bowl game. Great effort. I am in Austin and wearing the logo on consistent basis. received a lot of input from others after that game. Stinks to come close and lose, same as with the last Boise game in Frisco. But proud of the team. So THANKS MEAN GREEN !!! Looking forward to Soccer, Softball and Diving/Swimming, Golf, etc.

      Attendance question

      Here's my take on the First Responders Bowl. * I thought they did a fantastic job honoring first responders from all lines of work throughout the game. Very impressive presentation for people that deserve to be recognized. * Location isn't terrible and Ford Stadium is fine, but I had to shower four times to remove the SMU stench. * Concessions were pretty good although it would have been nice to know if advance that they were not accepting cash. * Would have been nice to have First Responder Bowl souvenir cups instead of the stupid "Pony Up" cups. Nobody's taking those home. * Nice taking the train, walking over and then getting out quickly. This was managed well by whoever is in charge of getting people from the station safely across Central Expressway. * In spite of all of the above, $100 plus for sideline seats to this bowl/matchup was ridiculous.

      Attendance question

      The anecdotal evidence I heard from people was that it was "too expensive" and "not an impressive matchup" or "we are just going to lose"
