  1. "Maybe, maybe not" Here's your enlightenment.
  2. Yes. UMAR MUHAMMAD CAREER: Muhammad is a versatile veteran who arrives in New Orleans for his ninth AFL season with a proven track record of quality play on both sides of the ball. He is an outstanding short yardage threat and also is regarded as one of the AFL's most physical, intense pass rushers by his peers and coaches. The fullback/linebacker played for the Georgia Force in 2007, where he enjoyed his finest season, recording a team record eight sacks and has also had stints during his career with the Tampa Bay Storm, Grand Rapids and Albany/Indiana Firebirds. In his career, he has collared 118.5 tackles, 13.5 sacks, three passes defensed, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He has posted 165 rushing yards on 92 carries with 19 touchdowns from the fullback position. College Tallied 151 tackles and 19.5 sacks in 31 games as a defensive end at North Texas...Named first-team All-Big West Conference in 1999 following his senior season...Led the team in sacks (7) his junior season in 1998.
  3. Maybe Defense Helps Propel Mean Green Soccer Over UALR, 1-0 was the :ph34r: Big Story :ph34r:
  4. T minus 10 minutes and counting....... Prepare to commence countdown........
  5. T minus 30 minutes and counting..........
  6. This is available from a Dallas designer and fits well with Johnny's (and my own) southern Louisiana heritage. The style of Sportin' Life!
  7. Are those the won-loss records or the range of how many first downs the team earned per game during Dickey's first three seasons? Tapes of the Houston and UNLV games have been approved by the FDA as cures for insomnia.
  8. Remember that it was Jesus that said "Blessed are the Cheesemakers". Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products. The chosen one for the Cheesemakers was the deciple Saint Farve Faver Farev Brett who crusaded through the air to do the Lord's work.
  9. I believe the children are the answer. - Whitney Houston Now a passage from the Book of Hudson........... mc1x--hqpPs
  10. Hey, it worked for Troy Aikman.
  11. Oh, just in case the Daily is as challenged at math as they are at research, the 2004-2005 per student athletics contribution at Houston is still 30% higher than the maximum in the proposed referendum for North Texas for the 2011-2012 school year. Oh, and another thing, the University of Houston didn't have to pay for it's stadium either, it was built with city taxes.
  12. NT Daily OK, now for the facts: for the 2004-2005 the University of Houston provided $12,437,318.00 in institutional support to it's athletic programs. Of it's $22,648,933.00 budget that was reported to the NCAA, $8,900,000.00 was in direct institutional support through student service fees and $3,537,318 was through student athletic fees. For Houston's 32,000 students in 2004-2005, their contribution to athletics per student was an average of $388.66 for the year. And that was 2004-2005. Their budget has grown since then.
  13. Well, if we have the right concessions, We'll Have Pizza In Our Time.
  14. I believe the womens basketball team has twice been invited to the NIT where they were shipped off to be first round cannon fodder for one of the bigger name teams. Both games were lost in convincing fashion. I think the latest game (2002?) was at Washington. The women's basketball team has never once won a conference basketball tournament and advanced to the NCAA's.
  15. Yeah, kind of. Dickey's most highly touted quarterback, Spencer Stack from Flower Mound Marcus had actually been signed to his Letter Of Intent before Dickey was hired. Although Spencer was given very little opportunity, remaining continuously benched in favor of other players, I never knew of him or his parents bitching like that.
  16. Yeah, imagine that, the quarterback and his daddy badmouthing the coach to everybody after said quarterback hadn't produced results and had been replaced by a younger more highly recruited prospect. Gee, this sounds so much like pee-wee football.
  17. Back in the 1980's North Texas was required by the Southland Conference to have a baseball program. North Texas had no facility, team, money for scholarships, and coach. A coach was hired who did a remarkable job with what he was provided. The little scholarship support was divided as best possible, and the team actually won a few, but very few, games. Since there wasn't a stadium, UNT played in a neighborhood park several miles away in east Denton. The baseball field at Mack Park Yeah, that bleacher was the home field stadium.
  18. Great job ladies!
  19. Greek, I have to say that I agree with Rick on this. Maybe he should have worded his response more carefully, but what he said in both his quote and in his explanation was accurate. "We keep saying our football program sucks. Well, it does. Okay?" It does, and overall, so do several of the other athletic programs at North Texas. One post-season victory in the past 60 years in all revenue sports combined (football, men's basketball, women's basketball, and baseball) indicates that the program has an established history of sucking. Alumni and the community haven't just been distancing themselves from North Texas for the past two seasons or for the past two decades, they've been keeping away for generations because nobody really believes that North Texas can really ever compete with the "big schools" of college athletics. North Texas is horribly underfunded and can't realistically be expected to compete. During the 1980's, Oklahoma State baseball fans laughed their asses off when the North Texas baseball coach ran the concession stand between innings. The men's basketball team has only been in postseason play twice during that 60 year span; the recent 2007 team and in 1988, winning a weak Southland Conference after going 3 and 10 in non-conference play. Both teams lost by double digits in their first round NCAA game. The women's basketball team has never qualified to play in the NCAA tournament. The 5 point football win against Cincinatti in the 2002 New Orleans Bowl remains the sole post-season victory in the past 60 years. That is a history of futility, and everyone knows it. And what makes it so sad is that it is happening at a school with so much potential to have excellent athletic programs. Like him or hate him, Rick is fighting like hell to finally get that fixed for this university. He's telling the truth and the truth hurts. Yet he's getting crucified by the student paper at every opportunity, a paper that is actively campaigning against what their own research indicates the students of the university desire, a respectable perception for their school.
  20. I'm right there with ya'. That whole Rodge and Todge routine is played, sooo played. HivmmiUKEjw
  21. Rush! Halftime! VIZZA!....Rush! Halftime! VIZZA!....Rush! Halftime! VIZZA!.... The message was clearly being conveyed to Giovanni's as he ran the clock in the waning moments of the first half. Problem was, the signal wasn't being sent in from the sideline at all, it was being telepathically sent from one of the spirit groups...and Vizza was just a misspelling.

  23. Although I admire your dedication, I certainly question your methods of celebration. If you're going to hire hookers, why don't you have one of them take care of your friend?
  24. Holy Smokes! That was unbelievable! We get a gift in their end of the field with 24 seconds before half time, actually RUN two plays and have to burn a timeout after each, and then attempt a field goal with 8 seconds without first taking a shot at the end zone. Seriously, what the heck was that? I am still a Dodge supporter, but tonight was some of the worst playcalling I have ever seen. How many times on third down must we throw a completion short of the first down line before we decide to throw the ball long enough to actually gain the first down. There's a damn good reason they are all giving up that short pass to North Texas, it's because it rarely gets the first down.
  25. Twice. North Texas led 3-0 and 10-7, then our special teams took over and insured that wouldn't happen again. Thank you Mr. Drake.
