  1. the golf course sucked, end of story. for the amount they charged we used to drive to indian creek in lewisville to get at least some value. sure it was better than twu but twu was half the cost. i hated that course, we used to play it just for convenience sake but the cracks, lousy fairways, and bad greens used to drive me crazy. good riddance to it and the radisson.
  2. Blow it all up, nothing gets out alive.
  3. 10 bones? not sure how i feel about that. quick back in the day story. in the mid 90s simon had a "press" conference to announce the class and there were only two reporters there (drc and nt daily i think) and when simon took questions each asked one question and then there was this long uncomfortable pause. so i said what the hell and raised my hand and asked a question. after he answered i looked over at the then SID (who shall go nameless) and he just shook his head. whatever, my question was the best of the bunch.
  4. nice podcast. nice intro tune. keep up the good work.
  5. 18 for 36 and around 200 yards. granted there were some drops but check out Brady's or Favre's numbers for the weekend. it wasn't romo's fault the cowboys lost. but he didn't lead his team to victory either. and great quarterbacks aren't remembered because it wasn't their fault their team lost.
  6. i loved the colts but lived in houston at the time and followed the oilers. when the colts moved i became a huge oiler fan. those playoff losses in the 90s just killed me. then the oilers moved and like you i wasn't becoming a titans or texans fan. now i root for the cowboys but i don't live and die with them. as a kid i watched sports 24/7. now not so much. i live and die with unt and newcastle and follow the cowboys. all the other teams have fallen off the radar. funny, baseball was number one as a kid but the strike, changes in baseball, and the rangers killed the sport for me. back in the dome, i loved those 3-2 games where every at bat mattered. watching 13-8 rangers games soured me. granted, being at the dome was horrible, but the games and teams back then were a lot of fun.
  7. a couple of things. first, i was a military brat and we moved all of the time. so my teams were all over the place. basically i rooted for the first teams i remember seeing and any against any team my dad liked. long story. secondly, as someone else said, as a kid every cubs and braves game was on tv. i'm not a fan of either team but as a kid i was a huge baseball fan and i saw more of their games then i did my beloved astros so i can see someone becoming a fan of those teams. plus kid's seem to lock onto players more than teams. i become a colts fan because of bert jones. i loved george brett and the royals. after he left, i was ho-hum on them mostly because i was living in texas by then. kids are exposed to way more teams then when i was growing up. you can see every game now, back then you were lucky to have the home team on tv. forget watching a browns game in dallas. most of the astros games when i grew up were only on the radio, even in houston. i think the rules are out nowadays. but that might just be me. by the way, when i was a teenager we had one thirty minute show that showed highlights from english soccer. and it wasn't even on every week. now i get highlights every night, a channel devoted almost entirely to soccer, and can watch almost every newcastle games. and that's from a sport from another continent. yeah, the old days of listening to games on the radio were sort of romantic but i'm not complaining about what we got today either. especially with almost all of UNT's football games on the tv or internet.
  8. if you want to be mentioned with the greats, you gotta play great. you don't take sacks when being chased and then ground the ball when no one is around you. all around stinker by the cowboys but who didn't see this coming. i won't say pathetic, but close to it.
  9. LSU at #23. The talking heads act like that's the toughest place to play at, especially at night. oooooohhh. Not so, that place is so overrated.
