Total idiocy! Dews is a great kid and this will bite JJ for years to come. Even if he was questionable on qualifying (he isn't) why pull the ship? Let it work its way through.

E. Tex is an area that coaches holds grudges and to have someone come from OOS and pull ships will long be remembered ...

I'm still puzzled how can hiring the Coach with easily the best lifetime record and the best season record since the Death Penalty set the program back 10 years? That Don't make too much sense.

Whatever system he used worked for awhile, but in the end, we were 1-11 this year. Let's just put the last six years behind us as a noble experiement that did not work out.

Gilbert was o.k. - but he aint no Stafford. I would put him with Colt skill-wise.

What?

The kid is just a Jr, he's huge & got an arm like a rocket.

Daddy played QB in the NFL & the kid's probably forgot more about FB than PB (sorry, couldn't help myself).

With the inevitable playoff system, I believe the Conference championship game goes away. Thus, the big conferences will have to breakup and realign.

That opens up more regional conferences, and we could see part of the West CUSA possibly consolidate with Baylor, tcu, UNM or NMSU, some ...

I like it because it raises the game stakes of poker for everybody.

No doubt tcu's "F"atterson will demand more or he'll be gone, same for UTEP, Tulsa, even Denton State will have to PonyUp.

Tomey is a great guy & solid coach, but he is a little "long in the tooth" to make a change.

That said, Hawaii beats SJSU by a long shot.

From what I saw, he threw the ball well in their 5-A State Game. It would be good to pull a couple of QB's into the new JJ system for for 2010 or 2011.

Slight change of subject, but from same website:

NMMI JUCO BBall Coach & Asst AD is ex-SMU player & Harlem G'Trotter, Reggie Franklin.

A good contact to grow if we've truly opened the door for JUCO players.
