Re: DMN Top Recruiting Lists and SMU

For what it's worth (I forgot where I read it this weekend) but I think it was Rivals, indicated Tulsa has so far the best recruiting class in the WAC, second best was SMU.

Re: Mid-year defections

McAndless - Most of this is hearsay and some speculation. Williams was apparently called in and told he didn't perform at the level that was expected. You would think after a couple of years the coaching staff knows all the players abilities and limitations. We all know scholarships are a year by ...

Re: Mid-year defections

I have heard from a good source that Tate Wallis , Chris Poulos, Mark Hodges, Tommy Adams, and many other walkons have quit. The most interesting however is Bennett calling Keith Williams into his office and telling him he no longer has a scholarship because of no apparent reason. He was out of ...

Re: Bring Back the White Helmets!

Dont look like ole miss??? Please, all Nike had to do was send out a double shipment of the same uniform and let the printers put on SMU instead of Ole Miss. People can talk about having the same colors all they want, every other college team makes it work without all of them looking the same or ...

Re: If we go to CUSA this year?

About scheduling an easy team: take a look at Tulsa playing Texas State early in the year and beating them bad. Their coach said that was the jumpstart to their 8-4 season and trip to a bowl game. People underestimate how much a win boosts confidence and moral no matter who it is against.

Re: Bring Back the White Helmets!

Tell me about, cant we at least be original with our uniforms instead of stealing them from another 1A team. I could see if we were division III but we took exactly the same uniforms with the exact colors. The only difference is that Ole Miss has a stripe on the shoulder which they just got this ...

Re: Anybody know anything about the OC???

gostangs, i think plano is exactly right and about your comment that we are better off, I dont recall any 0-12 seasons so I cannot see your logic. Even with Cavan we could squeak out 5-7 every year. He is no second coming and we are nowhere near "better off".

Who is this guy

Enough about the very questionable recruit in Romo, what about the receiver from JC who only caught 5 passes??? Do we really need to waste a scholarship on someone like that? We must be in more trouble than we thought.

Re: BS- Flanigan Not Even Being Interviewed

Has anyone heard a name that is actually being considered for the OC job? I haven't heard any. [/QUOTE]

I heard Coach Bennett was having a hard time getting any interest from his "private list", rumour is his treatment and attitude towards his assistants has gotten out and interest is waning.

Re: Meanwhile, Tulsa Wins 7th Game

Just so I'm understand, if we we would have only brought in 2-3 JUCO players in August, and that being the only change, you are saying would have a 7 game winning season.

Re: What we should have expected (in hindsight)

Our past recruiting classes may have bottomed out but I still would match our Junior and Senior class against Tulsa and UTEP, I think we still out would out athlete them. There seems to be a significant lack of leadership on the team, like most problems it is a combination of several factors lack of ...

Eavsdropping

I went up to see us play Tulsa.

After the game I hung around just to get see what the mood was. I overheard several conversations that were interesting to me.
First an older man introduced himself as a former college coach and I assume relative to a player to the first [deleted]'t coach that ...

Without knowing anything about deepsnapping, my guess as to why Simmonds isn't playing: he's listed at 6-3, 221 and might get shoved all the way back to Mentzel before the ball gets there. I don't know that - purely speculation.

I admit I'm a little biased but ...
