I see 1 win on 10/07/06.

Any word on where J.D.'s contract extension is? This latest influence for Hixson is another example of what a gem we have as a coach. Not that Domenik didnt deserve it, but a coach that can influence our players getting drafted is such a plus. Since he has been here;MAC Champions1st Bowl GameFrye DraftedKept Frye for senior yearTop Recruiting class 2005Top Recruiting class 2006Undefeated against Can'tWhat else?

Uhhhhh......Rio Grande? Loss?Rio Grande Wins

No resemblence?Mcnees

He looks like Nick Dials.......

Seems to me we should roll over these teams..........Zips Soccer

Where do you see that?

Will this additional press for him put us in any jeopardy of losing him?

We just won our first postseason Basketball game. Cheers all! If attendance is not improved next year based on what our major teams have accomplished THAT would be a slap in the face as bad as the NCAA or any committee has given us. (If I was JD, I would be discouraged)I would expect nothing more than a sellout for Football's, Basketball's and Soccer's 1st home games. The community has gotten as many combined wins and titles as any university this year I can think of - also postseason wins.

Lets win tonight and make a run in the NIT. Hopefully our guys are PISSED!! If J. Wood comes back next year, WATCH OUT! We should start next year with the highest ranking we have ever started with, and a chance at cracking the Top 25. The momentum began with Fball, soccer and should be sustained with a win over Temple and.....................more?

Thank you............very nice

Don't give them any ideas, they may come after Proenza! :blink:

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King. and consensus is defined as lack of leadership

I knew it! Nice way to follow-up a #1 ranking year. Thanks Lolla!

That was an interesting quote and what got me thinking about this. Can you make the assumption he is happy with his future here because I agree, the three youngsters at QB are not going to want to sit on the bench.

This should be interesting, we are extremely deep in the offensive backfield. Obviously, the guys need to get on the field and show their stuff but does anyone have any insight or opinion on how these battles will play out.QBGetsy - incumbentJackson - top recruit from last yearJacquemain - I hear he was a nice sleeper from last yearHakes - the videos look spectacular and he is enrolled alreadyRBAlex Allen - top RB recruit from last yearDennis Kennedy - looks strongAndre Boone - one of the highest rated recruits everAaris Reed - everything I have read about him spells gamebreakerIt is nice to have the depth

Any word on these recruits or any recruits if Wed was signing day?

ABJIt sounds good.

Sounds good. I will agree.Hey Lebron!!!!!!! Just do it.

Seriously, I have wondered the same thing. We could transfer from the generic "Rubber Bowl" to the GOODYEAR DOME! 30-40 million to dome the sucker is a drop in the bucket for them and great advertising. I have to imagine it has been proposed.

Is he going to be a player of "Chris Webber proportion"?

I was suprised Lolla didnt stay for that exact reason. If he had stayed, I would be shocked if they didnt start as a Top 5 Team and potentially carry that forward as long as success continued.

TXZip, I sure hope you are right! That would be amazing, is there anything you can share to substantiate this?

BTW- Lets not necessarily focus on the numbers or percentages but more on a creative way to keep great coaches and incent him to help us build something. We can't pay BCS money for mediocrity in the MAC but if can make headlines, play on T.V and postseason, that is worth a lot to the school, alum, etc. Make em' rich for doing that.

How about MAJOR bonuses for postseason play that would equate to BCS money. Make it incentive laden.....MAC East Champs - $50kMAC Champs - $100k AND then give him a percent of the draw (say 40%) from whatever bowl we get in......If we have a year like last year he would get $450,000 in bonuses on top of salary.....Get us to the Alamo, he might make 1 MILLion Dollars.
