http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_koreas_nuclear North Korea has been threatening the U.S. for years and have nearly 30,000 artillery shells in striking distance of Seoul South Korea and has the ability to attack our bases in S. Korea and Japan. Also this regime has the capability to hit U.S. soil in Hawaii and on this 4th of July is planning to aim its long range missle in that direction. North Korea is similiar to that of Iraq, a crazy dictator who cares only about himself and gives a rats ass about his own people. Hopefully things wont escalate to war, because alot of innocent people will be killed especially on the N. Korean side who have nothing to do with the actions of its own terrible regime. Things could quickly escalate at any given time...Obama has alot on his plate at such a short amount of time into his new adminstration.

Saudi Royals linked to terror across the globe. This article displays what is already well known around the world. If any country in the world needs to step up and revolt against their own government it is that of Saudi Arabia, worst regime in the world. What is worst is that a large majority of the insurgency in Iraq is funded by these filthy bastards and results in the deaths of our U.S. Soldiers and Iraqi police, military and civillians trying to desperately rebuild their country. The iraqi police came out with a report stating that most of the suicide bombers are saudi nationals and have also paid money to other neigboring arab countries to cause violence in Iraq to destabilize the country. The last I remembered any country that is responsible in the deaths of americans and or her allies gets dealt with by the American govt. This is just ignored by the media and too many innocent people have died as a result. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/world/mi...saudi.html?_r=1

My favorite tradition was when an ecstatic student section would tear down the goal posts every year we would clinch the Sun Belt Conference. I really miss that tradition.

Im not one to condone violence, but damn this mofo deserved what he had coming, what a hypocrite. Too bad Mrs. California can't get a few licks on him too.... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/22/p...i_n_219088.html

I will take 2-2 in conference, thats awesome. Really. We havent won two OOC games in over 5 years.

Travis, i believe that you work for the city of Denton and the departments that are responsible for the undevelopment of Denton is the planning and zoning, bldg inspections, and engineering depts. I have been working for a year to build three bldgs here in Denton and scaled back my plans to build just one, but encountered so many problems that the entire project is in jeopardy. I asked the city about UNT's process for any type of project and was told the universities do not have to go through the city at all and are immune to any city oversight and they go through the state. If UNT had to go through the City of Denton it would be 1/5th the size it is today. Accommodating? What has gone up in Denton since the shopping center across from Wal-mart, back in 2003, Unicorn Lake where the Pourhouse is located was originally supposed to be a large grocery store/ Whole Foods/ with large retail anchors such as Kohls and several great high end restuarants. Until now in 2009, things have just now started to go up and is such a waste of great land near I-35 to become offices to real estate agents and bank branches. Fry Street Village: The developers had so much interest in making Fry Street a new tourist destination for Denton, they were going to have a chipotle, snuffers, cafe brazil, apartments, coffee shops, and scrapped all plans after the city butted in, now the land sits as a reminder as to why new development isn't in store for the city. Rayzor Ranch: after talking with several civil enigneers and former city officials, the Rayzor Ranch was told to upgrade and put in so many things by the city that they werent required to do in other cities. The city told them to build a 2 million dollar drainage channel that wasnt initially in there immediate plans, the Rayzor people fought it and made changes and by the time they wanted to proceed the economy caved in and you have an what it is a 420 acre disaster. Port 35: 2 Major Business Parks and an Industrial Park faced alot of back logs with the city because of the undeveloped land, developers were very interested in the project and were ready to get started this year on the ten-year project but cited economic reasons and no interest from other developers and pulled the plug on the project this year. Hunter Ranch, Cole Ranch, and Craver Ranch: All housing developmetns expected to bring in over 30,000 new homes in the Denton area: All have either been canceled or stalled by the city and in the process of being pulled by the developers. 2005-2006: Tom Thumb wanted to build a large grocery store in South Denton which is a great market since all that Denton has is Krogers and Albertson's. City denied them to even set foot in Denton because they wouldnt issue them a beer and wine license, not kidding. They left Denton and never looked back. Kroger was allowed to build their third store in the area in 2008. 1990's: Sam's Club wanted to build a store in Denton desperately because of the success of the Wal-mart Supercenter in Denton, they faced obstacles and went to Lewisville, which was happy to accept all the new developments that had been turned down in Denton. I know these things because I haved lived in Denton my enitre life and have lived through all of these debacles. Also I havemy own property management company here in Denton and deal extensively with all departments of the city. I have talked with Mayor Burroughs about my project in particular and he to was disgusted with cities policies, which is why he ran his campaign to allow more development and be more pro-business. As he noted more than 50% of Denton is undeveloped. If anyone still believes that I dont know what I am talking about, look at how fast other shopping centers and developments have gone through in Keller, Frisco, Allen, Mckinney, Lewisville, and Grapevine. Since Rayzor Ranch was first mentioned in 2006, many other developments have been proposed in other cities and completed. While in Denton, they are still just turning the same dirt, waiting to get permission from the city to get started.

What else is new......... Denton, do you really need to hire a consulting group to decide about a breath-taking project such as this.. Does anyone else wonder why big projects always seem to falter in Denton??? Rayzor Ranch Marketplace, Rayzor Ranch Town Center, Tom Thumb in S. Denton, Sam's Club a few years back, Fry Street Village.....Many other numerous exciting projects as well throughout the years. Actually I am proposing to do a bldg project here in Denton, and found that the REAL problem with Denton is the Planning and Engineering Departments here in Denton, but enough about that. Hotel likely to be similar to the one in San Marcos, with 283 rooms and being 10 stories tall. Beautiful. Hotel construction will likely start at the same time as the new football stadium's construction in January, lets only hope so. http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...21.e6bfc31.html

And the way things are moving for them they might have a better chance than us in a few years, especially with the way our program has been handled the past few years.

Its a common housefly.....Get a life, actually that might be too challenging, Get a grip.....

Thats a start

Thats amazing. huge test for Dodge, if you know what I mean....

I have always been a very vocal opponent of moving to the WAC but for the first time I am going to say YES to UNT moving to the WAC. The WAC has alot more to offer us. They have teams in the top 25, BCS contenders, and teams that people have heard of. Picture this: UNT vs. MTSU or UNT vs. Hawaii or Fresno St at Fouts Field here in Denton, Texas. Pros: More bowl invites More nationally televised games More national recognition More attendance numbers for home games More of that BCS money More rivalries ( we are really lacking in that department, look at my thread on the HOF) More interest from DFW WAC member alums as opposed to Sun Belt alums More of a turnout for conference games. Cons: We arent covered much by the DMN or FWST ohhhhhh big loss there I am all for any move to any conference, we have been waiting for a long time and nothing. The Sun Belt is not a conference that is built around us or our needs. We dont fit in, plain and simple.

Any Prez that has a food taster is a smart man....Alot of weirdos out there.

Which countries?

Why should anyone be suprised really. Our top pick starting QB left after his second year and along with him most of the top picks in our recruiting class. Its no suprise... But dont worry it will all be worth it after Dodge's fourth year when everything will finally be turned around, like everyone assumes. It will all be worth it.

A real serious football program would never sell a loss for money- That is what our program has been all about for the last several years. If you need to sell your first game of each season then you shouldn't have a football program. This is just plain ridiculous, let our boys play a decent similiar team not a national powerhouse that just won the freakin BCS title game. What looks better on paper 1-0 or $500,000.... Can anyone remember the last time we were 1-0 to start the season. Thats what I thought.

The stadium is magnificent in all of its might. I mean we are in Texas and everything is bigger. But do you really have to putt the stadium is a horrible location in Arlington like you do. The stadium would be much more accesible to people near i-30 or 360..... Also the stadium would have been better in Carrollton, Dallas, Irving, Grapevine. Arlington is far off for most people in the metroplex. Its has if Ft. Worth now has its own NFL Football Franchise. Traffic will be a nightmare when college and NFL games start.....Just watch and see..... Texas Stadium had 114, loop 12, I-35, and 183 all nearby Texas Stadium and traffic was horrible. Jerry Jones truly is an idiot and this was one of his worst ideas ever...... Also Good Job Jerry in securing a corporate sponsor for the new 1.1 billion dollar stadium, just truly pathetic, even UNT's new stadium has bites for corporate sponsors....

Yes Brendan Morrows wife is such a hottie, saw a pic of the two of them in the DMN several years ago, bonus points for being Guy Carboenaus daughter too...ha ha

Enjoy!!!!! Luckily nobody got hurt...and the person injured didnt sustain further injuries http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/31/h...a_n_209500.html

I m actually really excited that we are finally playing six home games, I really pushed for this when I was an undergrad and its finally happening.... Six times to tailgate and go out to Fouts Field.

Vito has done a great job with this....This demands results from the Mean Green. I predict 1-11...Thinkin about this upcoming season in reality.

Hillarious.....I think Pro-Dodge people are the only ones who are aware.... Where are all of those SLC people who were supposed to come up for every home game....

HEEEEEELLLLLLLOOOOOO THE LION KING!!!!!!! Disney Greatest Creation. Classic Period. Cars is good also..

I think you are thinking of the new Michael Irvin reality show which airs on Spike TV. I find that alot more entertaining than any Cincy training camp, lol. I think every other team in the NFL passed on the opportunity to do Hard Knocks after the disaster which was the Cowboys Regular Season last year. Cincy needs any publicity it can get.

Great News Fantastic News.... Hooray for Mean Green Nation Totally made my day great... Great job Texans
