Eagle-96

Prayers to you and your wife for strength and healing.

DC is just calling it like they see it. - Tulsa and LaTech pasted us last year. - UT is the defending National Champs. Their 2nd string could beat us right now. - SMU is a toss-up but if you base it on our OOC record under DD then??? - We can probably win the Belt but that would just make us the best of the worst

Sadly, Sam Houston will probably play UT closer than we will. And the beat goes on.

great post in the comments section of the video: "Imagine how that poor guys parents feel, they raised a son who is doing horrible investigative reporting. Poor Mr and Mrs Monday. "

I don't think Hastert is concerned with the audio/video of Jefferson accepting the bribe. He is concerned with the fact that the DOJ searched the congressional office for addtitional evidence to bolster their case. I don't think the DOJ will need any additional evidence if they have the guy on tape accepting a bribe. There are scumbags in Congress on both sides of the aisle.

After what they did to us last season, what makes you think it won't be an easy win for LaTech.

He has already fixed it. Next season the 3 division winners plus the best 2nd place team will be the top 4 seeds. The teams will then be seeded according to record. If it was in place this year it would have been: 1 San Antonio 2 Dallas 3 Phoenix 4 Denver 5 Memphis 6 Clippers 7 Lakers 8 Sacramento

First game was in 1994 when we lost to Montana 21-17. Mitch Maher had us driving for the win at the end only to come up short at about the Montana 20 as time expired. First victory was in the rain in 1994 38-17. "See ya later McNeese State" I've been a Mean Green junkie ever since.

Akron's page and dates have been added.

I can hear the sounds of crickets as we all bow in awe of your great football talent evaluations. Inexperience at QB = doom. Wait and see.

So by that logic you are saying that: Sweden has the best hockey league in the world? Brazil has the best soccer league in the world? Argentina has the best basketball league in the world?

Fans may boo him at the start of the first game but that will all stop after he catches his first touchdown. If he does sign here he will come out at the press conference and make a statement about the Star incident. He will apologize and explain himself and that will be that. After his first TD at Texas Stadium he will either get a sideline prop and pretend to clean the star or get on his knees and kiss the star or something to that effect and the crowd will go crazy.

All you gotta do is keep livin' man. LIVIN.

No, she just ate Colon Blow for breakfast.

Did any of you guys watch us play last year? We had an abysmal defense that lost it's 2 starting corner backs which will leave us with even less experience in the defensive backfield this year if that is possible. We will employ more 3-4 this year and will rely on a kid who has never played a down in a live game in Ike Thomas. The rest of the line is a bit small for a 3-4 scheme. Our linebackers should be solid though. Our offenseive line was pretty awful last year with Lineberry as the only one that showed much. We are adding Stanley who will more than likely need half the season(like most other JUCOs) to adjut to the speed and new scheme. Charley Brown is the only tight end I would rely on to catch the ball but we all know that DD doesn't throw to tight ends. We have a deep receiving group(like we did last year) but without a QB to throw accurately to them I don't see it changing much for them. I feel bad for Johnny Quinn because he has real talent and if he played for UT, A&M, OSU, etc... he would be a first day draft pick next year. The way DD uses him, he will be lucky to be drafted at all and that is sad. I see us at around 4-8 with wins over 1-AA, FIU, LaMo, MUTS.

The only two people that really know anything about this are RV and Tom Holmoe. It is ALL speculation as to what was or is being offered to play BYU. Some are slamming RV without knowing anything about the situation.

Sometimes nice guys finish first. Great story.

http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/13943800.htm North Texas jumper reaches for the sky By JEFF WILSONStar-Telegram Staff Writer DENTON — She says she’s going to the Olympics in the same tone that a 9-to-5’er says she’s going to work. No big deal. Just a matter of fact. That’s the only area where North Texas freshman Brandi Stanfield has an advantage over most of her peers. She’s convinced she will compete in the triple jump at the world’s most prestigious track and field meet before she’s done, whereas others need to be convinced. “She can be that good,” Mean Green coach Rick Watkins said. “Her potential is, as far as she wants to take it.” First, though, Stanfield has four seasons of NCAA competition. Year One has been a record-setter so far and could be a landmark one for the Mean Green program. Only two meets into her freshman season, Stanfield is on the verge of becoming the first UNT athlete to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships on March 10-11. “If I don’t jump any worse than what I’ve already jumped, I think I’ll be OK for the NCAA,” said Stanfield, 18. “I hope it gets better before then, so I can get higher on the list.” Stanfield is 14th on the provisional qualifiers list with a leap of 42 feet, 6¾ inches. The NCAA took the top 17 triple jumpers last year, and Stanfield can improve this weekend during the Sun Belt Conference Championships in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Her qualifying leap shattered the UNT record, which she would have broken as a high school senior. Her top prep jump of 42 feet, 5¾ inches was the best in Texas, third-best nationally, in 2005. She won the Class 5A state title and landed a spot on the USA Today All-USA track and field team. Stanfield had her best performance at the Mike A. Myers Track Stadium in her native Austin, but Texas didn’t recruit her. She wanted to leave Austin anyway, and chose the Mean Green over Miami and Baylor because UNT people are her kind of people. “It’s about where I’m going to fit in the most,” she said. “I know wherever I go, I’m going to try I hard. I really just didn’t want to be around people where I didn’t think I could grow in four years.” Before heading up Interstate 35, Stanfield went to the USA Junior Nationals, where she led most of the meet before finishing fourth in an event that Watkins said is the most taxing in track and field. Stanfield, who also has UNT’s top long jump this season, said she suffers from knee tendinitis. Watkins said that can be offset with building muscles in the knees and improvements in her technique. “If you don’t do it technically right, it is really bad on your knees,” she said. “I have been slowly trying to add the technique. When you learn technical stuff in practice and then go to a meet, you really don’t think about that. You just try to do whatever you can do to get the furthest that you can get.” For Stanfield, the furthest is the Summer Games.

My wife and I took our honeymoon in Santa Fe and took a daytrip to Albuquerque for some hot air ballooning. The scenery in NM is amazing and the food is some of the best there is. Not a bad destination at all.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...s.3309a979.html Carroll's Dodge flattered by Cowboys' interest By TIM MacMAHON and TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News Southlake Carroll coach Todd Dodge said he interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys about their tight ends coaching job this week. Dodge said Cowboys coach Bill Parcells informed him Wednesday that the team would go in another direction. The Cowboys announced the hiring Thursday of Freddie Kitchens, a former Alabama quarterback who spent the past two seasons as a Mississippi State assistant after three seasons at North Texas. Dodge, a lifelong Cowboys fan, said he never thought of coaching in the NFL until he was contacted by Parcells last week. “I appreciated him thinking of me,” said Dodge, whose team was named the mythical national champions the past two seasons. “On a random winter day, I got a call from one of the legends in coaching. I was very flattered.” Carroll has used a spread offense, which does not employ a tight end, to go 63-1 and win three Class 5A Division II state titles over the past four seasons. Carroll set a 5A record with 764 points last season. Only Vince Young’s 2001 Houston Madison team scored more points that Carroll’s 2002 and 2004 teams. This is the second time Dodge, whose son, Riley, will be Carroll’s starting quarterback next season, has been contacted about a job this offseason. Dodge said he declined an invitation to interview for Rice’s head coaching vacancy before Todd Graham was hired. Dodge’s only coaching experience above the high school level was as UNT’s offensive coordinator/receivers coach in 1992 and ’93. Jeff Ireland, the Cowboys' vice president of college and pro scouting, was also an assistant on that staff. In addition to finalizing his coaching staff, Parcells delegated some new roles to old faces Thursday. Tony Sparano, denied the chance to become Sean Payton’s offensive coordinator in New Orleans, was promoted to assistant head coach and will continue to handle the offensive line and running game duties. Wide receivers coach Todd Haley will replace Payton as the passing game coordinator. Payton was the assistant head coach and passing game coordinator in 2005. With Chris Palmer on board as the quarterbacks coach, David Lee is now the offensive quality control coach. It will be the second straight year Parcells has not used the offensive coordinator title. It's not clear who will call plays in 2006 after Payton handled the job last season. E-mail tmacmahon@dallasnews.com E-mail tarcher@dallasnews.com COWBOYS COACHES The Cowboys’ assistant coaches for the 2006 season: Todd Bowles, Secondary Vincent Brown, Inside Linebackers Todd Haley, Wide Receivers/Passing Game Joe Juraszek, Strength and Conditioning Freddie Kitchens, Tight Ends David Lee, Offensive Quality Control Anthony Lynn, Running Backs Mike MacIntyre, Safeties Chris Palmer, Quarterbacks Paul Pasqualoni, Linebackers Kacy Rodgers, Defensive Line Tony Sparano, Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line/Running Game Mike Zimmer, Defensive Coordinator

http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/13880540.htm PATRICK McGEESTAR-TELEGRAM STAFF WRITER ARLINGTON — The University of Texas at Arlington's new logo features a large blue "A" and is embedded with the Star of Texas. But for the first time since becoming part of the UT System in 1967, the letters "U" and "T" are absent from the university's emblem. Instead, in smaller letters under the main logo, reads "The University of Texas." Under that, in larger letters reads, "Arlington." UT-Arlington president James Spaniolo said the new logo is not an attempt to downplay the university's affiliation with one of the nation's best known university systems. "It doesn't downplay 'University of Texas,' it highlights Arlington," Spaniolo said after the unveiling of the new brand to hundreds of cheering students showered by confetti. Dipankar Chakravarti, a University of Colorado marketing professor said the name "University of Texas" must be at least somewhat prominent. "If people can identify what the logo stands for very quickly then they tend to judge it favorably," said Chakravarti, past president of the Society for Consumer Psychology. He said he would give UT-Arlington's new logo a five on a scale of one to seven. "It's hard to have something spectacular that will knock your socks off, but in terms of logo design it seems to hit the checkslist of the criteria pretty well," he said. UT System officials said they support the new brand. "We congratulate the University of Texas at Arlington and President Spaniolo on the launch of their new branding initiative," system chancellor Mark Yudof said in a statement. "UTA is a great university with an important story to tell about the success of their faculty, students and alumni." Using an outside public relations firm and focus groups, the university spent nearly $355,000 developing and promoting the new brand, which was designed by a staff artist in the university's publications department. The University of North Texas spent about $200,000 less for the new brand it came up with last year. Several students pointed out that the new logo is highlighted in orange, anchoring UT-Arlington to the flagship university in Austin, which has orange as its school color. "The simplicity appeals to me. I like how they include the orange, it's there but it's not intrusive," said Stephanie Holljes, 20, a junior studying information systems. Jeff Mooradian, 20, a sophomore was also won over. "I like it a lot. The old one was kind of plain and boring. This one's got a little bit of flair and style," the mechanical engineering major said. UT-Arlington's logo and new slogan – "Be A Maverick" – will be a spring board for an advertising campaign that starts with an advertisement in Texas Monthly magazine next month and a capital campaign that will come later. Experts say a brand is not just a logo, but the image – or promise – an organization tries to project to the public. Spaniolo said the promise of UT-Arlington's brand will focus on the university's excellence. "Our promise is UT-Arlington is a comprehensive research university committed to empowerment," he said. "This is UT-Arlington, and this is what it means to be a Maverick." Spaniolo said the university will follow up with advertising campaigns in North Texas and Houston that target high school students and their parents about the quality of undergraduate education UT-Arlington offers. Spaniolo and other officials said they were stunned by the huge turnout. Many hundreds of students had to be turned away from the brand launch event for lack of space in the Bluebonnet Ballroom where the brand was unveiled. Students in the ballroom cheered to performances by the university's drum line and cheerleaders. They cheered louder when the logo was first shown on large screens. Confetti was pumped from the ceilings, and cheerleaders threw a few baseball hats with the new logo into the crowd.

Best wishes and continued prayers for a quick recovery.
