The WAC is like France in 1939. Nice place. Living here serves us well. But you don't want to be here when the invasion begins and your neighbors decide collaboration is better than resistance.
...

Very disturbing information if it went down as you stated. One angry call can make for one angry family. That family tells their friends. And that one family can turn into 5, 10, 15 or more...

The point about promoting the program off-the-field as you develop it on-the-field can't be emphasized enough.

Look at South Carolina. Several coaches have failed to win consistently there. But...

Have been very opposed to turf for a number of years, but I wouldn't mind as long as it is the state-of-the-art product that has come out recently (the kind with the black rubber "sand" that flies up...

Spurrier was big into The Art of War. Bob Neyland and Woody Hayes articulated some of those same principles with an eye toward defensive football.

Historically, some of the best coaches have...

I look at his program and see a coach who has managed to give Stoops all he can handle at Oklahoma State. Don't think there is a program over the last three years who have taken the fight more to...

Not a very good football coach. He doesn't know the percentages regarding the risks he chooses to take. He'll cost his teams as many games as he wins for them with the trickery and fakes.

But,...

Might be best to look for the guy in his 50s who has developed capable programs only to be fired because of unrealistic expectations of boosters or one error in judgement. Price was a great hire for...

I could actually see some realignment taking place with the regional CUSA programs, the stronger Belt programs, and Tech.

If I knew that a certain four programs were staying in the WAC...

Count me as one of those who would like to see that out-of-conference schedule toned down a bit. Ole Miss instead of Auburn. Kentucky instead of Tennessee.

We can still get plenty of mileage...

Now RougeDawg, what gave you that idea?

:laugh:

Seriously, I wish Tech would start thinking regionally. We have the good fortune to reside in a region where football is king and the local...

HogDawg:

Sometimes the best ideas are stolen ideas.

:D

When Monroe's contract expires, our people can contact Frank's people and set up the series.

Monroe is merely up in Little Rock...

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing Tech seek out Broyles for a yearly series of games up in Little Rock. Every other year it would be a "home" game for us and it would also give more exposure in the...

Davis would say no if the rumors are true and he has experienced a nervous breakdown over the past year. Otherwise, he is the obvious choice and would serve LSU well.

They could opt for...

I like what Texas State has done with their flock of wannabees. Here is an example from a fansite:

When you are representing Louisiana Tech in a...

Thanks for the correction, DFIH. Also forgot the basketball angle that would hold Memphis out.

I honestly do not see the Big East holding on to that automatic bid unless Petrino sticks around...

The Big East will be on 9 football programs in 2005, adding Cincy, Louisville, and USF. That will be where CUSA feels the impact. I can't see Memphis wanting to be away from their long-term...

Where there is ambitious and courageous leadership, you will find that ambition matched within their rank-in-file.

I think it is important to identify the kids on our list who are being recruited by or holding out for LSU and make a serious push for them. There will be a void while LSU gets their new coach and...

I wish him well. I know he'll do well. He is the type of player who has had to work hard for every distinction achieved at the college level. He has the talent to make it up there, but I think his...

Perhaps you feel like this columnist regarding the Cincinnati Reds. Change some things up and I think it sums up the overall mood of the fanbase at Tech:
...

All too true, ST5. But there are ways to pay for it that would make the cost a bit easier on both player and family.

I'll go on record saying that I'm all for Moats going if his current draft...

One of the things they could sell Moats on is the fact that he could improve on his draft status the next year. He could also secure a Lloyd's of London policy protecting his value as an NFL player...

You've got to develop the quarterback and the offense before you they can make you look good. Cutcliffe is one of a handful of coordinators I know who can win operating a pass happy offense under...

jetstorm, the quarterback situation this year was Cutcliffe's worst error this past year. He fell way too much in love with Spurlock's athleticism and stuck with him as the starter too long. The...
