I'm having football withdrawals so bad that I have to resort to watching LSU vs North Texas to get my fix.....

Worth repeating from the ESPN Insider Ryan McGee:

Three weekends ago, I was sitting in the sparkling new press box of Apogee Stadium, home of the North Texas Mean Green, with my mouth agape. Why? Because I hadn't been on the Denton, Texas, campus in more than a decade, and I couldn't believe where I was sitting and what I was seeing. It was as nice a press box as I've seen in college football, the product of a nearly $80 million stadium construction project and a larger Mean Green athletic village that will soon be home to 13 of the school's 16 sports teams.

Looking out the south end of the press box tower, over the three giant turbine fans that sent power through the village, I saw cars rumbling by on I-35, the main corridor between Oklahoma City, Okla., and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. One thought kept rumbling through my mind, the same thought repeated after the game by Arkansas State coach Gus Malzahn.

"Located where it is and with the commitment they're making to facilities," the former Auburn offensive coordinator said, "this place is a sleeping giant."

Yes, it is. But while UNT is still in the midst of a pace-yourself construction project, what are the other sleeping giants of college football -- the programs quietly on the cusp of something big, or at the very least on the verge of a long-sought breakthrough?

I've always believed that we're a sleeping giant, but since I've been hearing that quote since the late 70's, somebody has just got to finally ban sleeping pills campus wide.

In the medical community they call that a "coma"

[UNT90]

Well, at least we are off life support (Dodge years in Fouts before the student vote) and seem to be breathing without to much assistance. Only time will tell if we emerge from the coma this year or another 10, or never.
