Turner is bullet-proof.

Of course, he delivered the Dubya Liberry.

Good. And I would have been just as happy if he delivered the Barbara Boxer Library.

HE DID HIS JOB!!

And I would have been just as happy if he delivered the Barbara Boxer Library.

Barbara Levy Boxer (born November 11, 1940) is an American Democratic politician and the current junior U.S. Senator from the State of California. She holds the record for the most popular votes in a statewide contested election in California, having received 6,955,728 votes in her 2004 re-election over former Republican Secretary of State Bill Jones.

(yeah, I didn't know who she was )

I'd like to see a football and basketball degree added. They would be similar to dance and music programs in that a significant portion of their degree relates to achieving excellence in their field. I'm surprised no school has tried this. I guess the NCAA has a rule against it, or that accrediting bodies will not sanction it.

Your idea has some merit. Call the program sports coaching with elements of PE and Sports management + a year of student coaching as a requirement, it is a field of interest to most players and something they already have a background in This would enable a sports grad to work as a coach or pe teacher in demand .

Agreed, but he is responsible for not improving it--yet. Copeland was his hire and we sat there mired in obscurity for a number of years without any improvement.

Turner did not hire Copeland.

Turner did not fire Copeland either, and Copeland's goal was to be 6-6 every
year.

Back on topic, Texas Football is out. Got mine at Kroger's (Park @
Preston) yesterday.

[Dooby]

Actually, Turner did fire Copeland. He just waited too long to do it. And that is one of the common criticizms of Turner-he is slow to terminate people that deserve it.

[Dooby]

FYI, the magazines seem to consistently say that in SMU's CUSA-East slate , SMU plays the 1st (ECU), 4th (Marshall) and 6th (UAB) ranked teams.

[PlanoStang]

I guess Turner fired Copeland under guise of Copeland's health problems.

DC's UTexas Football has UAB 4th, and Marshall 6th in the East. SMU is
5th in the West predicted to go 4 - 8. Wins over SFA, UAB, Rice, and
Tulane. Maybe we have a good shot at Marshall too for 5 - 7.

BTW, Big portrait of Colt on cover with "Colt McCoy will lead Horns to
National Title".

I guess it sells

[StallionsModelT]

Texas is primed for a national title run. Wouldn't shock me in the least to see them win it all.

I have been reviewing this link: http://preseason.stassen.com/

I have reached one conclusion: Nobody accurately picks year to year what C-USA is going to do. Now, I would suggest that most magazines are not as accurate with non-BCS conferences as a whole, but C-USA is the hardest to predict, and particularly C-USA West.
