It sounds to me like the game's being dropped had more to do with UNT's record than anything else. I don't think we can blame ASU for any of that, at least not yet.

Point is, if the game stays on Saturday, it's on. Ultimately, Ch. 21 didn't want to interrupt its weekday programming, which is their option.

I just can't believe that they have changed a game time due to the Deer Season - didn't they know when Deer season was when they decided to televise it right before the season? You know you are in the sticks when they change the day of a game because of deer season.

Someone ought to let the Startlegram reporter know you don’t hunt deer with a shotgun. But, the idea we should go so far to help the folks in Arkansas is correct!

I had a law school professor do the same thing. We had read a case for Torts about a guy who got hit in the lip with some shotgun pellets during a hunting trip. So, we get to class, and the professor asks us, "Who wants to tell about this case where the guy was hit in the head at close range with a rifle while out hunting."

I raised my hand and said, "Ms. Law Professor (named withheld to protect the ignorant law professor), this case isn't about a guy being shot with a rifle. It's about a guy who was hit with some shot from a shotgun."

She then asked, "What's the difference?"

I answered, "If the guy had been hit in head at close range with a rifle, this case would be for the Decedents' Estates and Trusts class, not Torts."

Because I was at a law school in Oklahoma, the comments drew laughter. However, the professor still didn't get it. I finally told her the different between a rifle and a shotgun. Mind you, this was a grown woman with two advanced degrees.

Now, I don't personally own any firearms, but when academics start wanting to tinker with the 2nd Amendment...I've got a problem with it. I've never been convinced - and this particular professor cemented my feeling - that people who know nothing about firearms should tell people whether or not they can own firearms.

I say we make Channel 21 to go hunting with Dick Cheney.

Hey Smitty, did you get slapped with a warning from the Admins for this? Cause when I mentioned a political debate was going to be on TV, I got slapped with warning and was accused of being a "troll". I then was threatened to have all my posts screened.

Just wondering.

Pretty sure the Startlegram wasn't trying to make this a gun-control issue. Way to veer off the cliff.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
