Nahh, I hear he hates families.

Quiet, you. Don't screw up this opportunity for us. Play your cards right, and maybe we can get you off the Ticket payroll, out of that cesspool of anti-family filth. Start working on our website for no money. Once you're pure as the freshly fallen show (like us), we can put you on the broadcast team somehow. Slap a wig and some heels on you, and make you a sideline reporter. As for this nonsense about Dunham being a "family man we can all admire"... Don't you morons realize that George Dunham was the Chinese Premier who instituted the mandatory One Child policy? I was at McDonalds once, and I saw George Dunham climb into the playground ball pit to smoke a giant cigar. When one woman came over to politely ask him to respect both the "No Smoking" and "No Children Over 4' Tall" rules... He punched her 7 year old daughter in the face. Every morning, George Dunham eats a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios from the hollowed-out skull of a child he kidnapped and murdered back in 1994. Also, one time... I think he accidentally mixed up and said a Kevin Dickerson (80) reception was caught by Roderick Johnson (88). Took him like 2 or 3 seconds to correct himself! Obviously, it's time for a change here. We could have me doing "zee fooht-BAAAHL" play by play in a delightful and occasionally comprehensible foreign accent. Quoner speaks like a man constantly doing a As long as he doesn't have to talk about Esteban Santiago (and as long as he doesn't coat the press box window in saliva), you'll love his zany voice and brilliant observations. And once we put Green Guy Bass in a push-up bra and a miniskirt, you'll all forget about Erin Andrews. This could work, people. With George Dunham and his mandatory, violent paddlings of all Junior Mean Green Club members out of the way, we could all enjoy a glorious new era of Mean Green broadcasting. BELIEVE IT!!!

I'll call you next month and tell you all about it.

GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING ON RARE OCCASIONS FOR OTHER SCHOOLS!

Just be glad I haven't started dancing the Tsamiko in my new Nick Calathes jersey.

Why go with Sean Bass? He's got Ticket stank and all the family-unfriendliness that accompanies it all over him. Screw that guy and his super sexy voice. I used to do play-by-play for a 5-A Metroplex high school's TV broadcasts. And Quoner once had three sacks in one game when he played against Denton Ryan, which makes him a perfect ex-jock color guy. Plus, we're both in relatively good shape and we're good with kids. Family friendliness galore! Forget Dunham and his years of experience and his exceptional aptitude and his strong passion and enthusiasm for all things Mean Green. That guy is OLD NEWS. What we need is some fresh blood, and blood doesn't get any fresher than the two of us. Because Quoner and I bathe daily in the blood of human fetuses (helpfully provided by CBL and his east coast abortionist-communist cabal). Think about it, people. Who wants Dunham and his Marconi award nominations and his prominent position with a local radio powerhouse that allows him to promote our university and teams to almost every man ages 18-49 in the Metroplex? You could have two guys, one who barely speaks English and the other with a horrifying speech impediment, who have arguably the 5th or 6th most popular North Texas-centric website in the greater Dallas/Fort Worth area. The only stumbling block may be the fact that I'm a Haredi Jew. But all we have to do is get the Athletics Department and all our opponents to reschedule any games that might be on a Saturday (I think we may have one or two... No big deal!) so that I can work and use the necessary technology for broadcasting. Let's make it happen, people. BELIEVE IT!!!!

He's almost as good as Chris Anstey, the "best running big man in the NBA".

More family oriented?! This is George Dunham we're talking about, not Dennis Rodman. What exactly is it about Dunham that you don't find "family oriented"?

You'll know that it was personal if they go out and hire Bill Mercer to take over the job.

This post from RV had 808 words in it. A very good, accurate typist can usually average about 80 words per minute. That means that the mere act of typing this missive almost certainly took more than 10 minutes. My biggest takeaway from the DRC article is that Al Goldfield specifically asked to be called once a month or whenever there was news/need. Once a month, at his specific request. And he was directly quoted as saying that he hadn't been contacted for four months. If someone took two minutes on the first day of each month to call Goldfield and tell him that we were having our campaign kickoff, or that final blueprints were in the works, or a new design was in place, or that our fee had been approved by the legislature, or that the bill had been signed by the governor... ANY of the things that have happened in the past four months... I'd be a lot more comfortable with the fact that our single biggest donor ever just decided to take a passive role in the largest Athletics Department undertaking in the history of our University. Two minutes per month, just to drop one or two little factoids about the baby steps forward that this project has taken in the meantime. Just the time it took to type the original post in this thread would have been enough to handle that task, with two extra minutes left over to pour a cup of coffee.

HEY-YO!!!

Good things are happening for surprisingly snappy retorts and uncharacteristic humility!

You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone. Then you realize what you've got was maybe just a little above spare, and start to resent its limited game.

Not to discount the critical "Jawline Factor"... My point is that some of these grit guys get way, way overrated because of their appeal to local fans. Eddie Najera would be another good example. As lovable and scrappy as some of these guys can be, teams usually survive their departure without even so much as a hiccup.

If he pulls it off, it'll be insane. Totally nut.

Every time I hear the anxiety about potentially losing Bass, I think back to how uneasy I was when Calvin Booth got away from us. It makes me feel better.

It got Bill, too. Six years earlier. And then, four years earlier. He saved up the $150, He was going to live it up like the big boys, swimming with the dolphins. It was going to turn his life around, get him his confidence back. And then...

He won't respect it. The only things CBL respects are a strong pimp hand and a hammer/sickle combo. Brandish one or the other at him, and he'll bow down faster than Obama kneeling towards Mecca.

Can Gortat pitch? Maybe we can use him as a specialist reliever against Chone Figgins.

Looking it up now, you're right. The last time we were above 6.6 before October 2008 was 15 years earlier in October 1993. 15 years instead of 20, but hopefully you'll give me credit for a history of trying to be intellectually honest. Especially since I don't really have an axe to grind in this argument, I just thought it was wildly intellectually dishonest to compare today to one year ago, given that exactly one year ago was just a few weeks before our giant economic meltdown. Knowing where I remember hearing it from, I'm not surprised that the station would screw up a detail like 15 years not being two full decades. Anyway... Comparing July 2009 data to July 2008 data to concluding that Obama can't run an economy is like comparing the mortality rate under James Buchanan vs. the mortality rate under Abraham Lincoln, then concluding that Lincoln was inept at handling health care issues. There's a pretty significant intervening variable at work.

Agreed.

I generally try to avoid the politics threads, but I remember distinctly some key unemployment rate details and the associated dates. I left my previous job in early November, before the election. The day after I left, the BLS announced the highest unemployment rate in two decades.

From what I've been reading, it's kind of a Phil Hartman situation. Any seediness and drama isn't really tied to McNair.

Suck on that, all you haters. 1-11 and 2-10 aren't hurting our recruiting at all! We just need to find 20 more talented kids who are accustomed to one win seasons!
