The next funny thing you post will be your first.

Thanks Team for a great opportunity to support the Mean Green. Here is my summary for the area around Sack and Save: Chase Bank - said they wanted to post it but needed to check with regional leadership before posting. He took my number so in case they said "No" I could pick the poster up. Econo Cleaners - large poster up Supercuts - large poster on employee bulletin board area; Octoberfest sign in front window Natural Nails - large poster up Dollar General - large poster up and Octoberfest up (both in window) Jefferson Clinic - large poster up and Octoberfest up (in waiting area) Planet Tan - large poster up Smoothie Factory - left 5 brochures on community table North Texas Laundromat - large poster up Roys Wash n Dry - left poster with hardcore Mean Green Fan and active financial supporter after manager said nothing could go up in window (Tim is the owner of this business and I think he should be called to find out how he would like to support the University that sits directly across from his business) Chicken Express - large poster will be framed on Mean Green wall New York Subway - owners said they would place the sign up and I believed them Campus Bookstore - two small posters up in two windows Oriental Chinese Fast Food Express - small poster in window Subway - small poster that they would put on the employee bulletin board IHOP - left 5 brochures Metro PCS and Taco Cabana said they were corporate and could not place anything up with the logos. I too think these corporate offices should be called to find out how they would like to support the University that so many of their patrons come from. My statement was "Good morning, I am from the Alumni Association and we have the brand new posters for the upcomting football season. I was hoping I might be able to put one up in your window?" I was not met with any resistance and I couldn't help but think how awesome it would be for students, cheerleaders and players to descend upon businesses with goodies and literature. I would even have Scrappy make an appearance at some lucky child oriented businesses. Sorry for the long message but this was exciting and has the potential to grow into a true distribution force. I was finished distributing all of my materials less than 90 minutes after leaving the Mean Green lot with my supplies. Great job team! See you on the Hill. GMG

I'm coming out of thread retirement and pulling a Brett Favre for this one post. You sir, are an unfunny douchebag. For someone who complained about namecalling and insults, you sure do seem to enjoy being a dick.

Happy basketball pants

Football season is just for finding out which BB recruits are visiting

Based on that rant, I'm pretty sure this dude keeps a sheet with a hole in between bodies and never makes eye contact.

No BJs for you, buddy!

I remember one guy who thought he was MJ and was too good for unt.

The sign is GREEN and WHITE, and has 'North Texas' on it. Looks good to me !

Chris averaged 4.26 Assist and 2.36, that's more than a 2-1 ratio. That must go down to about a 5-1 ratio if he has any LEAGUE asperations. If Chris attempts to go to the LEAGUE after this year. He will end up on the bench in Isreal behind some other point guard. STAY IN SCHOOL. STAY ELIGIBLE. GET A DEGREE. MAKE A GOOD LIVING.

Shut it doooown! Let's go hoooome!

SPORTS!!!!!!

Almost willing to skip football season to get to basketball. Almost.

Where do you get this figure? It's really difficult to get an accurate estimate of global monetary supply, but my best guess would be somewhere between 14 and 20 trillion dollars. Every time I see this TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS!! I realize that global warming, obamacare, social security and welfare are eating up several times the amount of money that exists in the world, and I can't help but think of Dr. Evil demanding $100 trillion in 1967 to a very amused United Nations. I won't argue for or against any of these things being prohibitively expensive, but they don't require the totality of money in existence.

Good to see Clarke's first two shots were made threes.

NT has two representatives, Dutton Watson and Dylan McDorman, on the north team. Streamed live at 7:30 on foxsportssouthwest.com tonight.

WOW! Don't know how I missed this until now. This really helps to close a potential hole in our overall game. This may be the most stacked college team from top to bottom that I've seen in a long time. If ever. Coach is going to have some tough decisions to make, but somehow I think that is a problem that he doesn't mind having one bit.

I am basing it on ratings and OU/MU connections, but in the end I think you'll basically see Jones/Taylor/Alzee using up most of the available 60 minutes at the 1 and the 2...spot minutes for either Walton or Overlander if no one is hitting from the outside, or spot minutes for Jordan at the 2 if we kinda go with an athletic, smaller line-up. Mitchell will probably see about 15-20 minutes at the 4, 15-20 minutes at the 5...Coleman's development and conditioning will hopefully keep Mitchell more at the 4. Spot minutes for Niko That leaves 40 minutes at the 3 and 20-25 at the 4 to basically be split by Franklin, Jordan, Patton and Holmen. That's a hell of a rotation.

He is still in jail, yo. He got a solid 7.

Avon Barksdale will be picking up the costs

So excited for basketball season.

0 for 1,484...

He's now working at Cowboys Stadium.

Thanks, Grant...very kind of you, Sir!

Offered by Va Tech Confirmed he will take a official visit to UNT later this year

He also competed in the 3-pt competition at halftime. He didn't win (3-way tie for second, I believe), but his shot was the purest/most refined in my opinion, and he also took his time much more than anyone else so he did not take as many shots overall. (All "FWIW")

I think those 2's main priority should be staying on a college basketball floor for a full year. Jones has a lot of work to do before he is ready for the NBA, starting with working on his handle and jump shot. His defense is also not anywhere near where it needs to be for the NBA. Of course, this is only based on the 1/2 season of college basketball that he has played. He is not a talent on the level of Tony Mitchell, but very, very, very, very few are. He would be smart to play his full 4 years in college and work on his game, then see where he stands with the NBA.

UNT

I really can't wait to see this thing when I get back to campus.

Not so bad, coming from a Mid-Major sports outlet like Fox.

They (THSCA) really need to seriously consider doing away with this game in its current form. Gone are packed houses in the largest venues in Texas to a half empty NAIA gym. They've gone from primetime cable broadcasts to live internet streaming. If most of the 11,000 high school coaches, attending the convention, don't bother to show up, why should anyone else? It doesn't seem to be an honor anymore for the top Texas kids to get invited or play. Kids prefer to travel the country with their AAU teams to play the top talent nationally; in front of the top coaches. Overlander had about 15 points (all on threes, I think)

I agree, but in the event that two potential employees are identical in qualifications, go with the UNT grad. If for nothing else, that person already has pride and will probably be more enticed to stay at the school long-term than a non-alum. I'd hate to have someone do great things in the athletic dept. just to see them get scooped up by their alma mater.

Last statline I heard was 4-6 from downtown. His team is getting clobbered. Also, high school all star games are painful to watch.

Does anyone know how well he played?

Now confirmed via Mean Green Club email sent today.

that's too bad about the attendance numbers. hopefully they can get that fixed and moving the other direction. this looked like a really good time. why don't they have something like this for the men? not necessarily a football 101, but a fantasy camp of some sort. i know texas tech has something like this because my tech friend was willing to pay the $1200 fee for me to go, so that he didn't have to go by himself. that money paid for your food and room for the weekend and a actual helmet and authentic jersey with your name on it. i'm not sure what you did there, i think you run drills, play a pick up game or something, tour the facilities and have a dinner with the coaches. this would be something i would pay a lot of money for and would be very interested in. also, i think the numbers that would attend this would be worth the effort and a good money maker. i know it wouldn't be attended like a ut version or even a tech camp, but i think there would be great interest in this. does anyone else think something like this would work here, if the fee was a little lower?

Next time we need to have a pre-arranged meet up spot for lunch and beers after the work is done. After all, work deserves reward.

Give me the person that excells at what they do, regardless of where they graduated. Hire the best candidate and them let them do their job. If they are a UNT grad, great. If not, so what.

If I heard Coach Mac right at the women's clinic, fall camp starts next Monday, August 6. The kickoff cookout is tentatively set for Sat. August 18, but not confirmed. GMG!

For me, I'd prefer to see a good mix of both UNT grads and non-UNT grads. having too many UNT grads does not bring in fresh ideas from other successful places...having too few UNT grads makes for lack of tradition and continuity. For me...give me a good mix of both. I know of several UNT grads working in areas all across the UNT campus including athletics these days. The days when a UNT grad could not get hired at UNT seems to be pretty much over if you actually look at the numbers.

A good friend of mine works at Mozart and talks to Tony pretty frequently. The other day he saw Tony in the dorm and said he liked his shirt. Tony took the shirt off his back and gave it to him. My friend sent me a picture of the shirt and it was a Nike A'Mare Skills Academy Shirt. The kid has a good heart.

I believe the 5K is now in April.

Pretty sure this has been posted before. But that's a more than kind review. Good thing he based his review on one of the most rowdy nights in the Pit's history.

I'm going to attempt to respond as kindly as possible, but I may come off as rude in some instances. This is not on purpose, I'm just in a very blunt mood today, and I'm probably going to put things bluntly. If I offend you with the way I say something, then I am sorry. End disclaimer Thank you for the basic high school anatomy brush up. You're science is somewhat sound, I will give you that. And I am glad someone has actually tried to use logic and science in an argument against this, this is actually the first time I have actually seen that anywhere. But there are fundamental flaws with using this argument in general, and your astounding level of ignorance tacks on many more. I could be wrong, but to me your post wreaks of Christian bias. The first flaw is bringing up the matter of anal sex altogether. Before your post, not a single person explicitly mentioned that; the forum was about gay marriage, not gay sex. While the two may go hand in hand with gay male marriage oftentimes, it is a blanket statement to assume this is always the case. And it is never the case with female gay marriage, you know, since they lack....an appendage to use. Regardless of the science behind the dangers of anal sex, which are very true and it is sound science, that has nothing to do with the legality of gay marriage, for a couple of reasons. For one, it has nothing to do with actual marriage and relationship, since a gay male couple may exclusively perform oral sex on each other, and a gay female couple is not going to do it at all. Regardless, you can't legislate what happens in the bedroom, since it's just flat out wrong to do, and there is no way of actually enforcing that. Secondly, allowing a gay male couple to marry isn't going to make them more or less likely to have anal sex anyways. If they are a couple, and they'd get married if it were legal, then they're going to do it anyways. So, this point is completely invalid towards the argument of the legality of gay marriage. A second fundamental flaw is that you bring up the point of nature, and how a male and female are needed to have a baby. This was probably the most laughable part of the argument. First off, no sh!t. I don't think any gay couple has sex in any capacity thinking they're going to get pregnant. That isn't the point of sex for them, and it isn't the point of sex for a large amount of heterosexual couples either. They have sex because it's the most stimulating and amazing way to show your partner how you feel about them. The majority of mainstream America does not view sex as just a way to make children. It's a beautiful and incredibly diverse part of life that people embrace regardless of their sexuality. This is again, an irrelevant argument. Another part of that argument's laughability is how other mammals engage in homosexual activities. If it was just a conscious and irresponsible choice by the species of higher intelligence, this would not be the case. Conveniently, someone posted a list of all mammals that have exhibited homosexual behavior in some way, shape, or form (listed with legitimate sources, and the page has been up for quite some time; if it was incorrect the wikipedia mods would have edited it by now...I've experienced firsthand how quick they are). I'll link it below this paragraph. We aren't talking about a list of 3 or 4 mammals. There are well over one hundred listed mammals that have been documented to act in homosexual ways. So, clearly it is a natural phenomenon that wasn't invented by humans, considering there are countless examples of it happening in nature. Again, I sense a very strong Christian bias. Science gotten from a Christian Apologetic website is not actual science. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammals_displaying_homosexual_behavior Now to go back a bit, to the subject of how anal sex is unnatural and the point of the anus is not to be penetrated, but to expose of waste. Fantastic, I'm glad you cleared that up for me. I was also convinced that my nose's secondary function was to be penetrated as well, but your point got me doing some research...never mind. Look, obviously the biological function of the ass is not a sexual function. Neither is the mouth, but I don't see anyone trying to outlaw oral sex. So why anal sex? I mean, haven't you ever heard of a man and a woman having anal sex? It really isn't that uncommon. The fact that you imply that gay couples are the only couples to do some sexual exploration is both baffling and another strong indicator of your strong Christian bias. Now, onto your point about AIDS. I really can't believe that you think that AIDS is still exclusively in the gay community. That's honestly baffling. How sheltered are you? Have you ever watched the world news and seen that AIDS is a major issue in some of the poorer parts of Africa? AIDS has nothing to do with the gay community; it is where it first appeared in the US, but AIDS and gay are not something that goes hand in hand. Due to the fact that no one knew about it when it was first surfacing, blood transfusions were one of the biggest spreaders of the disease, and it is in the general population. Magic Johnson has AIDS, and he is not gay. Obviously that is just one example, but you get my point. Being sexually "responsible" does not reduce your chance of AIDS. Your partner could have been born with the disease due to his mother unknowingly having it, and he could be a virgin when you guys first have sex, and there you go, now you have AIDS. Now yes, admittedly, there are more gay people than straight people with AIDS, especially in the United States. But that is merely due to the fact that it was introduced in the gay population for whatever reason. It has nothing to do with the fact that they are gay, and worldwide this is not the case. Being gay does not cause AIDS, as you insinuate. Your point is both ignorant and bigoted. Please point me in the direction of a non Christian scientist who is against gay marriage. Please do. I am calling your bluff here. I have never heard a non Christian scientist come out against gay marriage. But, if you can give me a link, a name, something, to point me in that direction, I'll accept your point. Regardless, even if they are any, they aren't the majority. Not even close. They are random statistical outliers, who in the scheme of things, are meaningless. But that is even if you can point me in the direction of just one, which I doubt you can. That being said, there literally is no reason other than religion to outlaw gay marriage. Not one. Science is not a reason, as everything you pointed out is easily shown to be flawed as an argument against gay marriage, namely because marriage or no marriage, gays are going to have sex. So if science is ruled out, what else is there? Any other argument has to do with religion. If religion is taken out of the argument, there is literally no reason to tell gays they cannot get married. I agree with you that anal sex is not a safe thing. I disagree with you that that is a good reason to outlaw gay marriage. To go with my reasoning from earlier, gays are going to do it anyways, it doesn't apply to all of them, and you cannot enforce a law against anal sex anyways...let alone that legislating the bedroom is just disgustingly immoral. But, to take that a step further, if you're going to use the argument that allowing gays to have anal sex should be against the law because it costs us unnecessary money in health costs, then fine. As you put it: "...as well as costing the health care system billions and causing R&D in the pharmaceutical industry to divert time and money away from tragic diseases that do not arise from behavioral choices." Okay. Then, in order to be fair, we need to outlaw every other activity that will divert time and money from tragic diseases that do not arise from behavioral choices. It is now illegal drive a car, ride a bike, go outside for long enough to get a sunburn without globbing on tons of sunscreen, play sports, run, go swimming, go on a plane, go on a train, drink alcohol, work any kind of blue collar job like construction, etc. The government now needs to enact legislation to prevent the companies that process food using chemicals that have been known and documented to cause cancer. Coal mines need to stop, because they're too dirty and cause too much bodily harm to the workers. Minor injuries, such as broken bones, concussions, fairly bad cuts, muscle pulls and tears, need to go untreated because we need to focus all our attention on people that have fallen victim to a tragic disease, so in order to maintain the safety of society without basic medical care, the government has put many bans into effect to prevent them from hurting themselves, including but not limited to everything listed. Basically, the only thing that is allowed is to grow food that isn't too dangerous to maintain, on your property, without using pesticides or other potentially harmful chemicals, using and drinking water that comes from your faucet that uses a government mandated water purification system, and then sleeping. Have fun with that life. While you try to legislate what others do in the bedroom, think of the potential consequences of ensuring that this group of people does not get equal rights. That opens a pandora's box, your group may be next.

I agree that we cannot change each other's minds, but it just saddens me that you can't properly read what I type. I know I'm long winded, but c'mon man, I'm not difficult to understand. I have said explicitly, multiple times in fact, that being gay may not be genetic. No one knows whether it is genetic, whether it is caused from occurrences in early childhood when the brain is still developing, whether it's some form of birth defect that effects brain chemistry and hormones, or by something else entirely. The point is though, it is not a conscious decision. I understand what you're argument was, but unfortunately your examples were so ignorant and poor that it didn't prove a single thing that you were trying to say. Like I said, research first, then argue. To reiterate, no one consciously makes a decision thinking that it will make their life more difficult. In the heat of the moment, a decision may be made to do something stupid. But, being gay isn't a single decision. It is a part of someone, and thinking that they can turn gay on and off is just absurd. You don't choose to be straight, you just are. Try getting aroused by gay pornography, if it doesn't work, you're straight. If it does, you're probably bisexual. It really is that simple. Besides, if being gay was a choice, don't you think that at least ONE out of the closet homosexual would say that he chooses to be that way? Don't you think that at least one of them would have let the cat out of the bag at this point? Doing some simple math, there are roughly 15 million gay men in the United States. Every gay person that has ever talked about being gay, says it is not a choice. Look at the entire world, in which there is a population of 7 billion now. Cut that in half to divide between men and women, and divide by 10 to get the rough amount of gay men. That is 350 million gay men. Do you really think that every single one of them is choosing to be gay, and every single one of them is denying that they are choosing that? Yeah, I don't think so.

Fixed it for you. Emotion and agenda fuels most everything on both sides.
