(Note: It was announced Todd Dodge will be let go today as I was finishing this article. Offensive Coordinator Mike Canales will be taking over as the interim coach for the rest of the year. I have decided to print the article in it's entirety anyway as it covers many ...Published on: 16th October, 2010
Welcome to the seventh in a series of weekly articles that pose the big question facing The University of North Texas in their upcoming game. A late penalty killed a great looking play and ended up snuffing UNT's gutty climb out of a 21-3 hole against Arkansas State last Saturday. While I hope ...Published on: 29th September, 2010
Welcome to the fifth of a series of weekly articles that pose the big question facing The University of North Texas in their upcoming game. UNT pulled off what most Sun Belt followers would see as the biggest upset in Sun Belt play so far this season in beating FAU on the road. No doubt it was ...Published on: 27th September, 2010
Bravo Mean Green! Last week I wrote an article talking about UNT desperately needing a course correction from their offensive brain trust of offensive coordinator Mike Canales and Head Coach Todd Dodge. That offensive brainstrust certainly delivered vs. Florida Atlantic and their head coach Howard Schnellenberger. 54 rushes and 15 passes later UNT had taken their ...Published on: 21st September, 2010

I see 4 obvious paths forward for TCU: 1) Stay in the Mountain West Conference with it's high travel costs, small TV payouts, and non-existent BCS AQ hopes. 2) Attempt to land ...Published on: 31st August, 2010
(BYU joined the WCC as I was finishing editing this Bleacher Report. Please see post script following this report.) This is the second Bleacher Report in a two part series of dealing with BYU and WAC D-Day. The first dealt with reports that BYU is considering joining the West Coast Conference. ...Published on: 22nd August, 2010
There has been a whole lot of congratulatory backslapping in the media for Craig Thompson for his Mountain West Conference's strafing run on the Western Athletic Conference. MWC fans are celebrating wildly and proclaiming that this has ended BYU's dreams of independence and has removed the WAC from consideration. I think this ...Published on: 4th August, 2010
The WAC announced a moratorium on expansion recently. I am disappointed that the WAC did not choose to add any non-football members either. I understand the logic of postponing a move to a larger football membership rather than trying to force such an expansion to occur today, but I am disappointed by the ...Published on: 28th July, 2010
This is the final installment of a series of five Bleacher Reports dealing with the near impossible issue of Big East expansion. The first report dealt with where the Big East is today after the near implosion of the Big 12 . The second with problems that must be addressed by an ...
