I'm sitting here watching Baylor destroy St Mary's and wishing I was watching Tennessee and Ohio State when the doorbell rings. Kid next door said his football was in my backyard. I said "OK, let me get it for you." I go out back and find his football. As I pick it up and turn it over, I see the SOW logo and "Mean Green" on the side.

This is exactly what I hate about watching these games on CBS. This Baylor game is obviously over, yet we have to sit here and watch it while we have an upset (small at that) in the making in the other game, far closer.

Sounds like we already have an edge on recruiting him. Is the kid any good and what position does he play, although he is probably 12 right? B)

He's 10, I think. But they are Iranian and the kids are all about soccer. It's usually a soccer ball that ends up in my yard.

They might be learning if you found a football.

Go Iranians!!! I am hoping a certain fellow countryman drops another game winning bucket tonight vs Michigan State!

He obviously needs to improve his accuracy if he didn't intend for the football to end up in the backyard.

It all depends, I remember when NT played North Carolina in NT's first NCAA tournament that a lot of the game was not shown were more interesting and closer played games could be shown. Nothing worse than watching your favorite team and having several minutes long periods not televised. I actually think they are doing a much better job of that now showing most of the scheduled games and breaking away at time outs. Of course, the scheduled time-outs were not part of the game back in the day.

ESPN had the first several rounds of the tournament back then. God how I miss those days.

You know,one of our best kickers for NTSU was Iranian. Who can name him?

Goodness...it was something like Iseed Kourihee but please don't quote me. I recall Fry saw him playing for the soccer team and the rest is history.

Except that Iseed Khoury is Israeli, not Iranian.

When I worked with him back around 1980 I thought he said he was Iranian but I have been wrong so many times I lost count. Iseed is a great guy and deserving of being in our hall of fame.

So deserving that he is already in the NT HOF. Has all time longest field goal as well as being a great soccer player.

Still... Khoury may not be Iranian, but all the best Dariuses I've ever heard of were.

Well, the Bible does call Darius "righteous", so I'll give you one on that. Will you be at the open scrimmage again this year? It won't be exactly my birthday this year, but close enough to have a cake.

Thanks for the info Euless. I was a kid back then so I stand corrected. That article was very good. I was one of those kids that got involved with soccer. Telmo Franco saw me playing tennis at Nettie Schultz park and had me kick for him and put me on his team. One night the doorbell rang and it was Telmo and Iseed. Mr Franco asked my Dad if he had a job for Iseed and my Dad put him to work as an electrician and of course I worked for Dad as well and got to work with Iseed everyday for a couple of summers in Denton.

      Bye Bye Chandler Morris

      Loved everything about your post but I wanted to highlight this section. I believe a lot of the fans on this board want to stick their heads in the sand and minimize the absurd mismanagement of the football program the last 20 years. We have a ton of alumni locally that could be won over. But the decisions made are insulting to the intelligence of people who casually pay attention when the program makes a big move. I harp on Odus Mitchell because his tenure shows dramatically what can be done with hard work and competence. And it is totally incompetent for program with upwardly mobile aspirations to hire first time FBS level coaches. And what is worse when we do hire a FCS head coach they don't hire the best one available. Dodge, Littrell, and Morris were bad hires. They may have been fine when it comes to the X & O of their sides of the ball. We need marketer, Adminstrator and culture builder. They selected the coaches I mentioned like a good functional Air Raid Offense would fix everything. I attended at least 3 home game a year since the last couple of season at Fouts Field and the game atmosphere more dead now than ever in my opinion. You can just feel the disappointment in fans. There is no structural disadvantage here that prevents North Texas from being on par with programs like Louisville, Memphis, Tulane, UNLV, San Diego State, UCF, SMU or USF.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      DC comment is regarding Caponi, I love his new choice, but Defense suffered for 2 years. As for Hodge, think team is a once again middle of the road AAC, losses to McNeese and High Point highlight that and negate the Oregon St and Minnesota wins, should not expect to be a Top 3 team in conference, especially when expected to only be a 1-2 bid conference max

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      For FB only would be a good move by NIU, then either join Summit, Horizon League for other sports, save $$$

      Is it really brave to laud your boss publicly?

      Coach Akers has done a good job, but he should stay away from this type of blatant public self serving politics.

      THE BAND (Bowl Version)

      Nope, but I'm sure the game being on a Friday influenced it. I'm also not sure how much the band director's discretion has to do with it. I would hope and assume the band would be in Dallas, but last year there weren't even student busses arranged for the SMU game. All the social media accounts were pushing people to watch on ESPN2 instead of attending.
