Unt Vs. Fau; What Are Your Predictions?

He was probably trying to figure out what alternate universe he was in where Minnesota was playing ASU.

You're being too subtle. Try again.

Interesting comment... can you be more specific on the coaching?

I'll be the 1st to defend Todd Dodge and his coaching, but he has awhile for we can even consider putting him into the same category as Schellenberger. Here is his bio :

I don't think Schnellenberger has ever done headsets. Seems like I recall when he was at Louisville and Miami he went without headsets. The guy's been around forever, though.

The dude played for Bear Bryant at Kentucky, coached with him at Alabama in the 60s, was the offensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins during their 1972 undefeated season, resurrected the Miami U and Louisville U football programs during the 80s and 90s. He's taken FAU from scratch start-up to beating a Big Ten school. There's probably not much he doesn't already know about football.

So...

...he's either senile and wandering around, or just letting OC Gary Nord call all the plays. Probably both.

FAU-51

UNT-38

hehehe.... funny analysis.... I know he's been around the block, but it just didn't look like he was doing much on the sideline.

Hmmm. Well, it's a good thing they play at UNT then and not someplace where their coaches will get in their helmets when they screw up.

I can almost assure you that Dodge and his staff have used words a wee bit stronger than "crappy" when addressing the players about continual assignment busts. It's not pee-wee flag they're playing out there. Nor is it an "everybody who signs up gets to play" deal. These are guys on scholarship - i.e., someone else's dime - and they're not performing. Scholarships are only year-to-year deals.

So, until their play isn't crappy, we'll just say their play was crappy.

If you want to drive up to Denton and give 'em all a glass of milk and cookies, go ahead. Letting the likes of SMU's pathetic offense run you into the ground is crappy, no two ways about it.

C-r-a-p-py...crappy. And, so is FAU's defense. You'll have to make quite a trek to give them their milk and cookies, though.

#74 could probably confirm this one.
