.. which we only lost 24-14...

With that gutless Leach throwing at the end zone to end the game.

No, that was 2004. The game being discussed was 2002. Unless he was throwng into the endzone in both of them which could be possible.

both, when they tried to keep scoring in 2004 was the one that stood out more since they still had all there starters in and were throwing fades (which is what caused PB to go after Leech)... in 2002, they were lucky to walk out of ford with a win... they benched kliff in the 2nd qtr, and it looked like we had a chance to pull it out early in the fourth.

IRVING -- Former Tarleton State and Grapevine quarterback Richard Bartel will be sticking around with the Cowboys.

Bartel (6-foot-3, 230 pounds) signed a free agent contract after a tryout during the Cowboys’ three-day minicamp that ended Monday. He will begin work next Monday with the team during the OTAs (organized team activity).

"I have an opportunity now to prove something,’’ Bartel said. "It’s pretty exciting.’’

Bartel and Oregon State free agent Matt Moore will battle Matt Baker for the third quarterback spot.

TCU linebacker Eric Buchanan, who also tried out during the minicamp, was not signed.

He also rushed 29 times for 34 yards and one score. Prior to transferring to Tarleton, he played in six games at Southern Methodist completing 89-of-148 passes for 1,078 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.

250? That sure does seem like a lot of weight for him to be carrying. Last time I saw Buster he was closer to 6'4 220lbs. Granted he prolly put on a little weight during his Senior year but I can't imagine him being much bigger than 235 without being overweight or overly muscle bound.

MustangIcon, when did you see him last?

Those are the stats someone very close to the ex-Mustang told me. If anyone could detail how to add a pic on these posts, I'd add a photo from the camp this past weekend.[/url]

I haven't seen him in a little over a year now, so I'm not saying he is not at that weight, just saying I have a hard time imagining him with all that weight on- he must look pretty big.

Before the draft espn had him at 231 lbs here. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/dra ... id%3d10484

Doesn't deal with Bartel, but was looking at our other NFL QB.....man this read is terrible, thought I would share the misery. SMU!

"Sam Houston State offensive coordinator James Ferguson wasn’t so sure McCown would be ready to play when he initially transferred. He had thrown 27 touchdowns and 34 interceptions at SMU, including nine touchdowns and 16 interceptions his junior year. Ferguson questioned his consistency, but later realized why he had trouble making decisions.

In the middle of McCown’s sophomore season, the team reversed the roles of its offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, changing the offensive terminology and many of the reads that McCown had been taught to make. Three games later, the two coaches reversed roles again, changing the offense back to the original system and leaving a mixture of the two offensive systems in place.

McCown’s older brother, Randy, was the starting quarterback at Texas A&M at the time and Josh frequently conversed with his brother during the season. Neither Randy nor Josh had ever seen such a change in the middle of the season. After SMU’s third sub-par season, McCown felt the program lacked stability and was headed in the wrong direction. Losing was draining the fun out of the game. He wanted to win again, like he did when he led Jacksonville (Texas) High School to a 12-1 record."

Cry me a river. he should have been smart enough to keep up.

And if Bartel is 250 I'll eat my hat.

[NickSMU17]

Only reason McCown isn't starting in NFL is because he can't learn NFL playbook....

At 250 maybe Bartel will eat it.
