Hang in there folks. The million dollar man, June Jones, isn't doing much better his first year at SMU. SMU is 1-5 and the 1 win is over D2 Texas State by only 11 (and Texas State put 36 points on them). Do these scores and record look familiar:

DATE OPPONENT W-L (CONF) RESULT

8/29 @ Rice 0-1 (0-1) L 56-27

9/06 Texas State 1-1 (0-1) W 47-36

9/13 @ No. 12 Texas Tech 1-2 (0-1) L 43-7

9/20 TCU 1-3 (0-1) L 48-7

9/25 @ Tulane 1-4 (0-2) L 34-27

10/04 @ UCF 1-5 (0-3) L 31-17

Mean Green football is ugly and gruesome to watch. But Dodge is basically doing a complete rebuild from the ground up. Hang in there. Sure, we will have a horrible season, but don't give up on this team.

We had a horrible season last year. At least, to me, it was fun to watch. This year we are having a horrible season and not very fun to watch. I hate to say it

but I believe we may have at least another 2 horrible seasons after this one.

Chris im sorry, but Jones and SMU would beat us by 30+ this year. They are in year 1 , while we are in year 2. Jones had like 2 weeks to recruit his "own" players.

Bring on the roundballs!!!

Couldn't agree more. SMU would wax us. I'm starting to think Texas State would beat us.

I hear you. This is ugly. Maybe they would beat us. I don't know. But nonetheless, even a multi-million dollar coach that just went to a BCS bowl game is having many, many problems winning games. This doesn't excuse our extremely poor play either. I was just pointing out a similar situation with another team.

That was a powerful piece. Some people got angry tonight when I feel they should have been sad. We are even seeing a few Dickey "nostalgia" posts. It can't get any worse than this, it is impossible. I really appreciate the opinion by Harry that we need to give FIU a little credit. They are a good team. I have always been in the camp that believed FIU had much much more potential than FAU. Both have massive amounts of money to play with, both are running true Div I budgets and pay their coaches a respectable wage for this level. We desperately need this vote to pass - not for a stadium - but to fund this program at the Div I level. I am not mad tonight, I am sad.

For some reason this one hurt more than any losses we have taken in the recent past. I really thought we had a shot. I felt like this was a must win and if we didn't we may go 0-12. This was a deep burn.

"As Mean Green Fans, it’s not time to throw in the towel or give up, the program needs us now more than ever. It is however time to start realizing the deficiencies we suffer with, come up with a game plan to address them (i.e. recruiting) and readjust our expectations and timeline for success."

I think that one of the stinging aspects of this loss was losing to a school that sounds like an airline---later we have to play a school named after an insurance company--florida atlantic.

Everyone needs to go back and read Harry's Go Mean Green.com blog. Then go and read the September 28, 2008 *Telegram "Facts about UNT's mess" by Troy Phillips.

Points in *Tele article

1. TD inherited a program that lost 19 of 24 games After going to 4 bowls

2. As of 2007 LOI day NT had lost nearly 30 ship players with remaining elgibility

3. DD's last 3 years APR ratings of 925 passing were 907, 916 and 917....this cost TD and NT 5 scholarships

4. 2 CB's filed racial discrimination which were determined to be false...but cost 2 DB's

5. Since TD's first season a starting WR and S left the program with off-field issues.

6. 4 presumbly impact OL TD inherited left the program after injuries, academic or other issuers...3 would still be playing

7. TD inherited more tight ends than # at any other position

8. "Don't even get me started on Fouts Field. How the previous staff won there is a mystery, but its a compononent of any "mess" you apply to this program.

IF NT were to fire DD now or after his 2nd year...NT can forget about finding a "Quality" coach who would come in a two year rebuilding situation.

It was DD's 5th year in the program before he had a winning season, and he left after 9 seasons with only 3 winning seasons and the SBC teams were not nearly as good as they are now.

Take this to the bank--the grunts from Unt if you want to play on words instead of realizing just how sad the plight of UNT really is will not or have not) even show that they belong on the same field with either. It's time to quit belittling the SBC until we prove that NT can be competitive in the conference. To run down our conference mates when we are far and away the dreges of the SBC is just ignorant. FIU has won 3 games in 3 years with two of those against NT. THEY ARE NOT A TOP 50 BCS TEAM BUT WE SURE MADE THEM LOOK LIKE IT

How on earth does this keep getting brought back up????

PLEASE READ ME. PLEASE!!!!!!

SBC teams weren't nearly as good then as they are now? PLEASE, PLEASE READ ME!!!

The fact that it's getting so hard to make excuses for Dodge speaks volumes.

I agree that you can't fire him right now. But this Troy Phillips stuff needs to DIE already.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
