I'd heard Ice Man Wim Hoff was being considered to join the staff as a consultant!

I'm like how they're asserting themselves as well. They've really been getting after it.

It is difficult for me to comprehend how there are people adamantly opposed to this hire. I don't know what others experiences are. I've had people throw fits, sulk and be reluctant to communicating. It is just terrible...This "guy" doesn't know what he's doing. One convinced himself that Mickey Joseph was set up as part of a conspiracy. Matt Rhule is a good coach! And one that I think is a very good fit for us. Everyone has to prove himself of coarse. I don't know what it is, if it's that he lived on the east coast, they're not impressed with what he's accomplished or something else. It's a small minority. Maybe it's because they've made a financial contribution and deem themselves entitled to call the shots. He simply wasn't their guy. I think that if it were so upsetting of a coach being hired and I were that against him coaching here, I'd quietly excuse myself and move on elsewhere to what would bring me satisfaction. The vast majority of the fan base is at least encouraged by the hiring of coach Rhule. The doom and gloom and temper tantrums are silly. Laugh if it makes you feel better.

Every single opponent. We have to instill a never satisfied mindset.

At present I'm seeing 3-5 wins. Five is a stretch. That's the reality of it.

While it might not take as long as some think, next season could be pretty rough for us.

That could be involved!

It's bowl season. The struggle is real! We can relate.

Celebrations of that not deserving of it should be avoided! Also, activities that are less meaningful involving rewards should be minimized. Ultimate aims are more likely to be achieved by making the process the reward. Good practicing, the development of one's skills and successful plays. Not celebratory reactions occurring in relationship to that which is not representative of winning. Otherwise, in reality we're rewarding unfavorable performances and loses. It becomes habit forming in relation to dopamine spikes. The feeling associated with these elevations should be reserved for that which leads to most valued, positive outcomes. And, limiting or altogether avoiding that which is associated with less desirable/valued outcomes. Reserving commemorations for practice accomplishments and successful game play rather than lower valued activities that compromise a higher level of performance (Smart phone activity, gaming, Etc.) would increase one's baseline too thus lending to objectives successfully being achieved as well. The brain is changing all the time. Significant then, does this add to or take away from what has more meaning for oneself? Chose carefully!

Oh yes..Chili cook offs and dead lifts can be brutal for sure!

The alert goes off at every time imaginable for a call that you need to respond to. Friends and colleagues are seriously injured or killed. Your family wonders if it might happen to you. It happens to people you attempt to rescue. Maybe it's the multi-vehicle accident out on the interstate you and your team respond to that's particularly gruesome involving traumatized children or the guy locked up in a public restroom that won't come out threatening to kill himself. Calls involving fuel tanks, electrical lines and explosives. In the hospital for days as a consequence of smoke inhalation. A broken leg you suffered when a wall collapsed. Or, maybe it's much worse, a busted neck. The scenarios are endless. When you're on call it can come at any hour. Few consider themselves heroes. And to think that many fire personnel and other first responders actually volunteer to perform these things and more to protect and save us!

I like that there's a commitment being made to Special Teams. We need to start reeling in some good tight ends. The Texas connection should prove helpful.

Associate Director S&C

What about Kenny Bell...Possibly he could come in here to coach receivers.

Lol In about five years it'll be burned to the ground right!

Not spacious enough. Bland, uninspiring design.

Addition staff information.

Out of the list, O'Brien was the most disappointing to me. I really had high hopes for him.

That's my thought as well. UNLV seems most likely with Baylor next I'd say.

I'd heard it was using chili powder making cinnamon rolls instead of cinnamon!
