Let's work on consistently selling it out before we worry and complain about adding more seats.

I say tear it down and start over whenever we see that we're actually committed to being a successful Division 1 program.

Unfortunately I'm not at the match but my daughter called to let me know that our ladies beat the Razorbacks 2-0 in the first of two spring soccer matches at Tulsa University. Kelsey Perlman and Michele Young scored for UNT. We play University of Tulsa in the second match at 5:00 this evening. Way to go ladies!

Man, I'd love to see him make the 2014 Olympic team.....congrats Johnny!: http://pressrepublican.com/0300_sports/x10257533/Cunningham-Quinn-lead-US-to-first This post has been promoted to an article

That really is amazing--congrats, Johnny!! BTW, if he does make the Olympic team . . . all the commentators are going to be wondering how such a large contingent of bobsledding aficionados came to be in Denton, TX, and why they made the long trek to Russia.

Just posted by MG Sports on Facebook: Alysha Adams just ran a 13.08 second 100-meter hurdles at the UTA Invite, good for the second fastest time in the nation!

It says the chat starts at 9:30, but the practice schedule says 9. I might check it at the early time, just in case. http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=1800&ATCLID=205127919

Seems to me we could cram (sorry Mark) another 150 seats in there and have a 31,000 seating stadium.

In a perfect world, that first number would start with a 4. But the world is far from perfect.

I don't want to know who #3 and #4 are because that implies we are concerned about loosing #1 AND #2 to injury again. Let's hope we can talk about #1 (with a sprinkle of #2) all season long!

You mean to say that Coach C shouldn't burn Cooper's redshirt in the last series of the season?

Well, according to Texas Hoops.com In its final & updated rankings for the 2011 class, 3 of the 4 HS recruits moved up the charts. As expected, Chris Jones jumped up to #12 while Trey Norris' stock improved to #29. Forrest Robinson, of 2A Eastland High, moved up to #30. Jordan Williams didn't move much and finished the year as Tx Hoops 8th best senior. Good luck to these guys and congratulations to the coaching staff for signing 4 of the the state's Top 30 recruits. JJ just missed out on the 11th ranked recruit, Devonte Abrons (Arkansas) and the #7 ranked recruit Terran Petteway (Texas Tech). With the help of Jordan Williams, we just missed out on convincing #13, Jordan Green to switch his commitment from A&M to UNT. #18 Kyan Anderson made a visit but ended up @ Providence. Chris Jones' teammate, Toddrick Gotcher (Texas Tech) came in at #19. With so much senior talent leaving Garland's Lakeview Centennial, coach Mauldin elected to retire today. Uncommitted forward Jarion Henry finished the season at #15. Grades appear to be his problem but many feel that he would love to join Williams. For those who think this program isn't improving, reread what I just typed! From the 2010 class, JJ just missed out on the Player of the Year in Texas (Brandon Peters) but ended up with the #2 recruit in Texas and Metroplex's Player of the Year, Tony Mitchell. http://texashoops.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1203525

I wouldn't count ESPN3 as a game on ESPN. It's only shown online, not television. I would only count games on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU.

Goof grief. 'Best ever' was referring to the signing class, not the graduating class. I don't know of a group of high schoolers who've been thought of as highly ever coming in together. Of course we can't judge them as a graduating class because they haven't played yet.

Good point. But we are in agreement. Great class. Best ever. Lets let them play a little before we put tons of pressure on them though.

Funny. I say the same thing and get ripped apart. But I agree. Lets hold off on the 'Fab Five' talk. Let also not lump Tony Mitchell into this class just yet either.

So you use an example of two people acting responsibly with guns and being sure of their target as an example of what could go bad? That is an example of the situation being handled correctly.

So funny to see those that are in complete support of the Iraq and Afganistan war to be against the Lybian action. Even more funny to see those that were so against the "Bush oil war" in Iraq be in complete support of Pres. Obama's unilateral, non-congressionally approved action in Lybia. If Bush had done the same thing, these same folks would be going ballistic with the fascist rhetoric. As long as it is "my side" doing it, I'll defend it, critical thinking be damned!! Quite amusing.

History shows that the highlighted is never a good argument in support of a war, especially when you expect them to take a major role in the front line fighting on your side. The only problem I have with Lybia is that we probably waited too late to make an impact and we are not targeting the guy that we say is the problem. I understand the sensitivity of the issue, but if you don't have the balls to go after the main criminal (which he is), don't go in at all. I would be interested to know what you think we should do on Syria now, since they are also slaughtering their own civilians. The situation is fairly comparable, minus one thing. Oil. Have you suddenly become George Bush?

Apologist at work.

The issue is very specific. The last President was BBQed for playing golf while the troops were at war, so much so that he stopped playing completely. Pres. Obama does the EXACT same thing when we are still at war, the economy is in the crapper, and our friend Japan is facing a triple tragedy of unimaginable proportions. No consequences from an ever idolizing media. Like I said, just let me know when the rules change again. Oh, and thanks for coming out to play

Well, your just no fun.

So would I, but unfortunately that is not the standard that was set by the media with our last President. Just trying to follow the ever-changing rules. I guess they changed again? Please let me know when these changes happen, or should I just assume they will change yet again when the next republican is President?

A friend just text me that hoopshype is reporting that Tony Mitchell is going to declare for NBA draft. Tried to find a link, but am on cell. Conformation? Edit: http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/

Someone make it stop! The windmills have taken over!

Today is April 1. Just saying.

If we have a supposed "liberal media", 1/5th of America wouldn't think that Obama is a Muslim. If we have a liberal media then 50% of Americans (last I checked) wouldn't think that Saddam was involved in the 9/11 attacks.

Most recent as in long after Saddam was hanging from a noose. How about in the lead up or at the peak of the war?

I sometimes listen to a "conservative guy" on radio when coming home from the evening classes I teach.... A week a two ago they were criticizing our President for not getting involved in Libya situation... Last night they were complaining because he now has. There is no pleasing these folks. ---I am amazed their "fans" never question or realize it when they start saying the opposite of what they were saying earlier --- They complain about the economy and ignore when it all started (2008). Same with the national debt.. the last guy's administration increased it more than all previous 42 administrations combined. The radio guys have no credibility. My only hope is that we absolutely do not put ground troops in the country, even Reagan bombed Libya back in the 80's and it was the right thing to do. It sent a message about so many terrorists coming from and hiding there. My largest concern is that we don't have a worse government take over any of those countries as happened in Iran during the late 1980's. I thought the same same about Iraq.. Saddam was an evil person but at least terrorism wasn't being done to us (or Europeans) by them. Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11, most of those people involved were Saudi citizens (as is Ben-Laden). I suppose time will tell if we are doing the right thing, but I want us to stay away as much as possible from those Middle East situations. At least our President didn't declare this to be a Crusade as the last one said a couple of times. Crusade to them means Christian war or invasion.... which is exactly what the original ones were. ..

lol!

Prove it. /raises level of discourse...

Did we have permission of congress when we invaded Granada, Panama, or bombed Libya under Reagan.... Nope. We have not only declared war (by congress) only 5 times in US history... we have had over 200 "warlike" incidents, most done by the White House only... includes a lot--including a lot of Viet Nam escallations, the Gulf War, and Korea. There was no declaration fo war in the Gulf War or Iraq invasion (which was not provoked at all... and no mass killing of local citizens was taking place as has been taking place in Libya. You are just trying to find fault and not looking at history. Guess you aren't listening to those networks... several on there have criticized him and even these actions, just as they did the previous person.... Some Democrats even oppose this ---as did Bob Dole who opposed Bush Sr. when he began the Gulf War in 1990 (he later agreed that he had been wrong to do so). I thought the Iraq INVASION was bad mistake then but I approve of this which is not an invasion either (not that anywone cares about my oppinion) ....as long as we keep ground troops home. Let the locals fight it out and decide the situation.. A no-fly zone keep evens the situation a bit and doesn't allow a few to conquer the many. ..

So funny to see you package people's complex thoughts and opinions into simple little amusing tidbits so you can make cute little comments.

They only picked him cuz he doesn't play D!

...at which time Craig tunes out Jub because Mitchell didn't sign with or enroll at blOw U.

The Belt teams have a history of playing on TV at the beginning of the season on a Thursday or Friday.

Yes Johnny, I'd like to purchase the movie rights if I may. What's that? There's a similar movie but with Jamaican guys who missed the Olympics in track? Sonuvabitch.

30,850........according to a post from Mean Green Sports on Facebook.

It appears I was the victim of.a cruel practical joke at a time when I had already had several opening day beverages. My apologies to the Mean Green nation.
