Just combine the headlines on the board with something relevant.

Here are some extremely tongue-incheek examples (please don't fight me, angry posters. I'm fragile:)

Jesse: Todd Dodge made Chase Daniel a hero but he can't get Mandy fired

Plumm: Todd Dodge is a great coach but he needs to remove us from a miserable Sun Belt existence and onward and upward into a hells bells (sing out of room)

Cerebrus: Todd Dodge. (Clever joke deleted.)

Emmitt: Todd Dodge is great but everyone watching on TV sucks and is a bad fan. Wait, that came out wrong...

Justins and CBL: Todd Dodge merkin boner balls corso alabama hot pocket sticky donkey nuts

TastyGreek: Todd dodge and 14 pages of research no one will include in conversation

UNT-Playmaker: Todd Dodge makes super duper happy fun time. Yay cowboys! Boo stadium rumors.

Quoner: Todd dodge. Gay joke. Passive-aggressive make-up PM

GladtobeGreen: Did you see I hired Todd Dodge and invented green?

Greenbat: Sometimes I miss dirty jokes but that doesn't mean i'm not cool

Kram1: Ban Quoner from life

Dodge2007: Please look at what I'm saying, f***face!

MeanGreenEngineer: I'm the f'ng balls but I never post. Less is more, bitches!

any others - and feel free to rip me at will.

There's a new Holiday Inn in Denton?! I've been in town a couple of times in the last year...maybe I wasn't paying attention.

Quoner is my daddy. (Tina Yothers is my mommy.)

Last time, OU won by 10. I think Missouri is way better and has solidified really well, so I'll say it's gonna be within about 4 points either way. Any other predictions?

Yeah, stayed in it during homecoming. Pretty nice, actually. Got it on priceline for around $50. If you aren't paying attention, you'll miss it. It's tucked back behind the Carinos (Italian for mediocrity).

I must not have looked at the sign...because I know there were new buildings there, just didn't pay attention to what they were.

Little-known fact (at least to most people I tell):

That road next to Carino's runs out to Bell/77/whatever other names it has, and comes out next to the paint store and what used to be Payless Video. Just in case you ever get stuck in weird traffic (that's how I found it).

      Enough of this PAC nonsense with two teams. Honor the rapper and call it “2PAC”.

      Welcome Army

      Weren't their rumors that VCU was gonna be added...along with Army? I thought they turned us down. I'm not sure the A10 schools would consider AAC an upgrade. I think they're all A10?

      Welcome Army

      If we're sticking with the American I'd still like to see some aggressive expansion plans to stay relevant. I'd like to see some non-football options like Dayton, VCU, Richmond get some consideration.

      Is D1 Split Coming Soon?

      It would make the most sense. We don’t need to be playing UT, OU, A&M, LSU, etc…all of whom have hundreds of millions in revenues, humongous stadiums that are sold out, and rosters that are full of NFL caliber players. Let us play teams that play in stadiums that are between 25k and 50k. Play teams with similar attendance issues and funding that is not completely out of whack with the lower programs in this level. And if SMU, TCU, Baylor, UH, and others want to play in a conference without us, go ahead. But we can play on their level. We can’t play on the levels of these NFL-lite programs. And as I’ve said many times, it’s blatantly unfair to everyone associated with a G5 program and never being able to play for a national title, like every other level Of football allows.
