One of their donors (on their board)......said that Orsini had his man, but the guy had to coach one more game at the school that he's at. Navy has one more game---Army this weekend.

So, there may be some validity to this......we'll see.

Navy also has a bowl game.

Paul Johnson would be crazy to go to smu... he is better off waiting for a better job. He's done pretty well for what he's got to work with at Navy, SMU is a coach's graveyard.

Not so fast... I learned this morning that SMU is already talking to Dennis Francione. (I would be shocked if he took that job, but if was offerred to him) As if that is not wild enough info for ya, Coach Fran is rumored to have his eye set on a former NT coach for his staff. That coach won 4 SBC titles back to back as a head coach. That's all I was told, but the info has always been good before.... it ought to be. Those who know me know who I get my info from over there.

I would be really surprised if coach Fran takes the HC job at SMU, but they sure have a lot of money to throw at the guy. As I was told this morning, "Hey, we got Forrest Gregg to coach here, and he coached in the Pro's...is Francione a bigger name than Gregg?"

I guess there's a point to be made there.... we'll see.

How much would that crank up the rivalry between SMU and UNT? Could you imagine playing SMU with Dickey on the SMU sideline? Or would that be a death sentence for renewing SMU-UNT games?

      Caponi fired

      I understand that his decisions to go for it on 4th down so much or not to kick FGs or play the field position game are bad decisions. Just playing Devil's advocate. Could it be that those decisions stem from a lack of confidence in the defense? It feels like he believes he has to score TDs on every possession to win because the defense will not stop anyone. So, that takes me back to he should have never kept Caponi after year one.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?
