Tasty, Props to you for your article on the ULM game. It is unbelievable that you picked up on the fact that teams know when we are going to run vs. pass.

How do you feel about your buddy Rick V. being on the sidelines? I read somewhere that he is now giving out instruction on the sideline.

These game recaps are getting behind with these other stories....I guess Tasty is just going to have to quit his job. :D

Why would RV need to be on the sidelines?

RV's been on the sidelines since day one. He yells at the ref and yells at the team to cheer them on. In that sense he is no different from the dozen or so VIP sideline pass holders that are out there for every game. At least he usually doesn't step in front of the people with cameras. :)

It's not like he's diagramming plays and yelling them out to Coach Dodge.

Thats the worst Cheech impression I've ever read...

1) Homes, not holmes.

2) Ese, not esa.

3) 2008 season, not 2008-2009.

He's stoned while doing it, so wouldn't the way he had it be more ... um ... "accurate." :ermm:

I just wish that Dickey would have done this. As the article stated and I COMPLETELY AGREE... gateway drugs lead to harder drugs and eventually someone will get hurt, or die. It has happened before and I am sure that Dodge does not want that on his hands. I also know that he put personal feelings aside for this and I am glad that names were not released because kids do not deserve to have their lives ruined because they screwed up in college. THE ONES THAT WANT TO PLAY WILL SAY THAT THEY ARE SORRY, GO THROUGH THE COUNSELING, AND MOVE ON... the other ones... well, many of them have left the team. When you have plenty of money and your scholarship is just a "bonus" to your family, it doesn't really matter - you just go somewhere else to play and your parents pay your way until you get a ship. People wonder about the breakdown of Senior leadership... well, Dickey looked the other way.

Some of the cover ups from the Dickey Era: Thefts, Assaults, Drug Use, Guns, Accusations of Rape, thefts from other players, thefts from the locker room, selling of stolen goods... just to name a few. Was the lid kept on it pretty good? Absolutely. How would you all feel about those 4 conference championships if the NCAA revoked all of our wins from the Dickey era and made those losses? Dickey and his staff were a walking time bomb. I will take an 0-12 Dodge coached team that is trying to raise our kids to be MEN over a 5-7 team that went to New Orleans with a waiver. Sorry for the harsh answer but I like to see things run cleanly, especially when our Mean Green Club donations pay for these scholarships and so does the bodybag game money. Are things in turmoil right now? Yes... Do you REALLY BELIEVE that Dodge created this turmoil? Not.... Dodge was brought in to clean up Dickey's mess, put in an exciting offense, and have a positive attitude... I would bet that he thought he could just lay down the law and the kids would listen but some of those habits started to bleed into his young team. He put his foot down and I am proud of him for doing it. We should be PRAISING Dodge, not scolding him. Why test the whole team? You kinda have to when your son is on the team or some jerk will accuse you of favoritism or trying to get rid of Dickey's players (clears throat... looks like someone already is accusing him of that). Younger players look up to the veterans and pick up on their habits. This is the time to clean things up... when there is no winning percentage to protect.

I don't know what to think about Brett pulling a FOI act on this one. Nothing was being covered up... it is being fixed... and I would bet that the majority of us on this board already knew about this (I know that i knew about all this weeks ago). We need 2 more years to exorcise the demons in this program. I say that Dodge should do this by any mean possible. Thank you Coach Dodge for taking the hard road and doing the right thing. If you were winning right now, people would be praising you. Unfortunately the team is losing so your good deed is looked at as if you are somehow the problem. I guess that he supplies the pot to the kids, huh?

Come on guys - it is easy to be a fan of a winning team. Be real fans and support your team when they are down. You will feel better when things turn around (with or without Dodge).

Well put, Stebo...I'm as guilty as anyone (or at least those of us who knew about much of the "goings-on" during Dickey's time here) for forgetting the covered-up transgressions of those teams.

As for Brett's filing an FOI request...I say, "thank you for having the balls to do it". I think those of us who give to the program, either in time or monetarily, at least have a right to know what is going on.

Man your stepping on some toes accusing the older boys of influencing the yougsters into bad habits. I would love for the test results to be posted. You can bet the boys know who they are... To insinuate the bench sitters = positive test is wrong & insulting. I wish the positive tests would sit. We might win some games.

Sorry, I didnt know there was a standard of written Cheeh impressions :P

But, UNTFan23 is right, he would be stoned while doing the video, so it actually may be more accurate :lol:

Should we change our fight song to Lowrider?

Or better yet, Our new fight song is...wait for it...

People should be careful about making allegations. I have removed posts. Do not make allegations without some proof.

Hell if we start going down that path who knows what someone might make up? Alumni paying players for no work? Alumni taking players to strip clubs? Who knows, it could get crazy.

So lets keep it factual.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.
