Damn! I miss attending one Coach Mac Radio Show because I have to take my daughter to her basketball practice and Coach Mac buys everyone a beer.

I'd love to see Scotty Young come home to play at North Texas. He could be an integral part of building something special at his home town college. His mother has been working with North Texas students for years as the owner of "On the Cuff" Embroidery and Gifts, the pink building at Dallas Drive and Teasley. Think of the opportunity that is currently presented to Scotty. He could play somewhere that he could develop his game and possibly become a legend. Yes, he can be that good if he's given the chance. Scotty Young selected AP Texas Player of the Year Or, he could go elsewhere where he may or may not have a chance to compete and simply be on somebody's depth chart as an insurance policy.

Jarion Henry available again Jordan Williams and several other members of the Mean Green are friends with Jarion Henry.

Congratulations Fanilow. You put the words and the melodies together.

The wholesale company that ordered the watches for us has now placed a picture of the North Texas watches on their web site.

Can you blame them? I can't blame them one bit. It's been less than two years since North Texas unloaded a horrible curse on them.

Penn State will be able to convince the world that they had nothing to do with this travesty. All they need to do is get Bill Cosby to come hold a candlelight vigil and miraculously everybody forgets all the indiscretions that the athletic department and the university committed. That way they can paint Penn State as the victim and not the entity that enabled the crime. Why not, it sure worked well for Baylor.

Guys, let's not speculate on UAB's situation. It honestly sucks for them that the Alabama-Tuscaloosa dominated Board of Trustees has continuously screwed them.

I believe Vito is 100% accurate in those statements.

Unfortunately I believe that Eric is wasting his efforts doing favors for the Talons Organization. They have displayed countless times how they do not appreciate favors that you alumni have done for them. I don't like to state it, but they are going to trash that vehicle the same way that they have historically neglected the tug, the cannon, and the Model A.

untgirl04, I think we probably have the most accommodating staff in the nation when it comes to issues like this. Please email Rick with your questions and concerns. I can almost guarantee that he will consult higher authorities on the subject (his wife, his daughter who has a baby herself, and the athletic department employees with babies) and they will come up with an amicable to this issue. Rick has delivered what I believe to be the most family friendly stadium in the country. It is wonderful in so many ways but, with the input of people like yourself, it can become even better.

Houston Fox Sports I wish nothing but the best for the Cougars as they move to the prestigious Big East Conference. This is a truly outstanding opportunity for Houston and I hope that SMU is very soon also extended a well deserved invitation to join this auto-qualifier league. It may not be the Big Twelve invite that each of these schools coveted but it is certainly an excellent consolation prize. Who knows, this move could be the stepping stone to the Big Twelve like it was for TCU.

WTF? The University of Louisiana has a much much better team, better market, and significantly better fan support than La Tech. Like North Texas, Louisiana uses a third party service to.accurately record attendance as recommended by the Neinas consultants. La Tech refuses to do so, and like ULM, they simply make up a number every week that they thinks sounds good.

One dark night outside of New Iberia, Louisiana , a fire started inside the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it exploded into massive flames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around. When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical company president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved. I will give $50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact." But the roaring flames held the firefighters off. Soon more fire departments had to be called in as the situation became desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the offer was now $100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the company's secret files. From a distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into sight. It was the nearby Cajun Hackberry Rural Township Volunteer Fire Company, composed mainly of Cajuns over the age of 65. To everyone's amazement, that little run-down fire engine roared right past all the newer sleek engines that were parked outside the plant. Without even slowing down, it drove straight into the middle of the blazing inferno. Outside, the other firemen watched as the Hackberry old timers jumped off right in the middle of the fire and frantically fought it back on all sides. It was a performance effort never seen before. Within a short time, the Cajun old timers had extinguished the fire and had saved the secret formulas. The grateful chemical company president announced that for such a superhuman feat he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave fire fighters. The local KJUN TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film, asking the chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?" "Whall," said Boudreaux, the 70-year-old fire chief, "Da first ting we gonna do is fix dem brakes on dat damn truck!"

Boudreaux walks into a bar in Denton, orders three pints of Shiner and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. The bartender asks him, "You know Boudreaux, a pint goes flat after I pour it; wouldn't you rather I pour fresh pints for you, one at a time?" Boudreaux replies: "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is now in Oklahoma, and the other, in Arkansas, and me, mais I'm from Louisiana. When we all left home, we promised we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. Boudreaux becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way: he orders three pints and drinks them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the regulars notice and fall silent, speculating about what might have happened to one of the absent brothers. When Boudreaux goes back to the bar for a second round, the bartender says, "Hey Boudreaux, I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss." Boudreaux looks confused for a moment and then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs and says: "Oh, no, no, no, arrybody's 's fine. I've just given up beer for Lent."

Boudreaux's Two Worse Pains Mais, Boudreaux stuck a splinter under his fingernail. So, he went to the docteur. The docteur say, mais Boudreaux dat must hurt! I'm gone have to stick a needle in your finger to deaden it up so I can get dat outta dere. Boudreaux say Doc just go pull it out. The docteur say mais Boudreaux dat gone hurt. Boudreaux say dat's ok Doc I done had the two worse pains dere is in the world. Just pull it out. The docteur say mais non Boudreaux you don't onerstand...dat's gone hurt bad.

Mais sho nuf Boudreaux holds still sweating buckshot but the doc finally gets the splinter out. The docteur say mais Boudreaux I just wouldn't believe you stand dat! I just gotta know man what was the two worst pains in the world worst than that? Boudreaux say well doc I was duck huntin' a while back in the swamp when here come some ducks.

But what could be worst than dat? Boudreaux said mais doc the worst pain was when I got to the end of that CHAIN!

Boudreaux gets home from work late one night and hears a voice in his head. The voice tells him, "Hey Boudreaux, quit your job, sell your house, take yo money, go to Vegas." Boudreaux is very disturbed at what he hears and ignores the voice. The next day when he gets home from work, the same thing happens. The voice tells him, "Quit your job, sell your house, take yo money, go to Vegas." Again Boudreaux ignores the voice, though he is very troubled by the event. Every day, day after day, for about four or three days, Boudreaux hears the same voice when he gets home from work, "Quit your job, sell your house, take your money, go to Vegas." Each time he hears the voice he becomes increasingly upset. Finally, after two weeks, Boudreaux succumbs to the pressure. He does quit his job, sells his house, takes his money and heads to Vegas. The moment he gets off the plane in Vegas, the voice tells him, "Go to Harrahs." So, he hops in a cab and rushes over to Harrahs. As soon as he sets foot in the casino, the voice tells him, "Go to the roulette table." Boudreaux does as he is told. When he gets to the roulette table, the voice tells him, "Put all your money on 17." Nervously, Boudreaux cashes in his money for chips and then puts them all on 17. The dealer wishes Boudreaux good luck and spins the roulette wheel. Around and around the ball caroms. Boudreaux anxiously watches the ball as it slowly loses speed until finally it settles into number .. . 21. "Damn Boudreaux," says the voice!!

Boudreaux and Thibodeaux were driving on the highway, on their way to go bear hunting. They come upon this fork in the road, where there was a sign that said " BEAR LEFT". They turned around and went home.

Boudreaux calls the doctor and says, "Doc, doc, my wife Marie is in labor and da contractions are only two minutes apart!" The doctor asked, "Is this her first child?" Boudreaux shouts, "No, you idiot, this is her husband!"

Well, would the other team celebrate if they were upsetting your team. I don't condone use of obscenities or personal insults, but good natured heckling and disturbing them through excessive crowd noise is part of the game. Just keep it within good sportsmanship, and remember that many of those visiting guests are friends & family of the players that you are pestering. In otherwords, don't ever act like a bunch of dumbasses leaning over the rail shouting "Hey you! You Suck!"

I'll be there with the Bride and kids. Staying Friday and Saturday night in Lafayette.

Don't ever fudge with the tailgating. The tailgating incredibly adds to the atmosphere. Even if the games are occasionally letdowns, many fans still have a great day because of tailgating and want to continue to come out to the stadium.

The above was posted on the CUSA board and the Sun Belt board. If any of it is true ....especially concerning Air Force or SMU, things are going to get pretty interesting pretty quickly in Denton, Texas.

In other breaking news, they are going to tear down the Radisson on the golf course.
