Euless asked me if I thought TD regressed between his time with DD and his return to UNT. I pointed out that TD was never a coach under DD. Nor was he ever on the coaching staff of UNT during a winning season.

Oh yeah... I'm aware. It was more directed at Mein Fuhrer, who loves to "tell it like it is", despite getting smacked around the interwebs after almost every error-filled, baseless post, yet never comes back after the dissection is complete. Just commenting on the absurdity of getting a superiority complex and challenging TY's statistical research while at the same time claiming TD coached under DD.

Many people here have some challenge with reading comprehension. So, here's the breakdown (read slowly...or, as Irwin M. Fletcher suggests, "Find someone who can read it for you."):

(1) A former OU player is transferring to UNT.

(2) That player could be given a waiver to play this year because of circumstances related to Hurricane Katrina.

(3) OU is helping with the appeal.

(4) OU has a history of success in asking for things from the NCAA, such as requests for sixth years and appeals from sanctions (unlike our athletic department), so it's good that they're helping us.

(5) There is a history between Stoops and Dodge that makes it plausible that OU would be helping us.

(6) Todd Dodge is the coach of UNT, where the player from OU is transferring.

(7) Someone remarked along the lines that OU was only helping because they don't have us on their schedule while the kid will be here.

(8) Follow up remarks doubted that OU was ever worried about us being on their schedule no matter who was on our roster.

(9) A summary of Dodge's poor performance here as both an assistant and head coach were used to underscore the point further - OU has nothing to fear in helping a player in need because we don't have a coaching staff that could handle gameplanning against anyone except Western Kentucky anyway. And, even then, the games come down the final possessions.

(10) Those who worship Dodge and his history of losing and mediocrity everwhere except Southlake were predictably defending him. Those of us who understand he's a snake oil salesman predictably countered with facts, the anathema of Dodge and his defenders.

why is this necessary? whatever you have to say...will fall on deaf ears. bye bye...

Nothing beats people who can't do math knocking a guy who can do actuarial science and pass complex probability examinations and what not.

Ignore this man. I'm a moron and I can't even add and subtract reliably.

I make my living dancing at a male strip club for sweaty, wrinkled dollar bills.

i didn't know finch would get SO upset with the "faux" comment about TD & DD. well, maybe i did.....but to write so much???

anyway, i think "Lifer" and i agree (and with many others) that we must wait, patiently, to see how the TD recruits will pan out over the next 2-3 years before "anyone" can make an "honest" judgement about the team.

"Lifer"....free pancakes, ALL DAY, at I-HOP on Tuesday, February 24th....National Pancake Day.

What are the odds of beating people who can't do math knocking a guy who can do actuarial science and pass complex probability examinations and what not?

A better question might be, what are the odds of a guy who can't do math being able to kick the ass of a guy that can do actuarial science and pass complex probability examinations and what not?

10 to 20?

Depends on if the actuary was a tournament kickboxer once upon a time.

Unfortunately, it also depends on if said person had a 5 year bout with rheumatoid arthritis. So call it a toss-up of outside variables.

Also, quick edit- 10:20 odds is the same as saying 1:2 odds. Simplifyyyyy, maaaaan! You've got 2 chances out of 3 for success!

Intentionally unsimplified and without the colon to imply a double meaning of odds and years received for assault and battery. (insert forehead smacking emoticon here)

Lots of layers. I like it, but I'd be lying if I told you I picked up on it.

No worries. I don't much like odds notation anyway and try to use pure ratio probability whenever possible.

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to grab my Weather Girls CD and hurry to the club. I'm on stage in 45 minutes.
