I worked with a woman who had a daughter in the MGB. I'm nearly certain she was remarking about having to purchase the summer uniform.

It's official as of today, right? Beginning of a new era.

BMWs? More like tricked out Hondas. This is from the last time SMU came to Denton.

I also specifically remember him talking about the perils of putting a true freshman QB in the lineup. I've seen this mentioned a couple times. Are we in for another year like we had with Jeremy Knott Good?

They'd be top ten if Mac were still voting.

I just went back and watched the highlights posted by Portland State. Man, I think you're right. I mean, maybe MiniMac was trying, but who gives a shit?

He got a few bonus points for not putting his shirt on inside out and backwards most of the time.

I have waaaaay more faith in Littrell than I ever did in Dodge (which was constantly zero), but the latter proudly proclaimed that his "system" was going to shock the world, starting with a road game at Oklahoma. I'll wait for results.

George will give you physical affection for your loyalty.

I didn't realize it. Just glanced at the calendar. Kickoff is a mere 16 days away! Enough with the off-season antics! (Dare I mention that I don't recall a single uniform thread this year?) Let's play some football!

Why? It looks to me like the kids have a hell of a good time catching kicks in the north end zone.

I'd gas a hooker gone to the convent for a slice from the Pizza Inn Nazi right about now.

I open up the website and all I see is: I just assume it's going to end with arrested or dismissed or abducted and probed by aliens or engaged on a lurid affair with Karl Benson. I am so conditioned to just expect the worst. I don't know how to react to something actually going our way.

Sky's the limit, I say!

Crap. Yeah, I was thinking of baseball. But still. I was surprised he didn't get at least a late round shot.

I really do wonder how he got passed over in the draft. Doesn't the NFL have like 385,000 rounds? How did NOBODY pick him up?

I wasn't around back then. So can somebody explain why we're celebrating a 2-9 team?

You're uh...not difficult to spot in a crowd. Not even in the Keep Denton Beard 940.

It is most certainly a scam. The IRS does not, in any circumstance, make contact via phone. Ever. Only written letter. We get that call at our desks every once in a while, put it on speaker and call the number back with a bunch of tax experts standing around the phone. Hilarity ensues.

I'm at work, probably grinding away at your tax return than you've completely kicked the can on collecting data for.

It is a mathematical certainty that EVERY year, we will either have a home game the same weekend as OU/UT or the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It happens every year, and it has nothing to do with the athletic department. I too tire of hearing the woe is me stories about how we have to play football in the same time of year as other programs. The real fun one was when the Rangers were in the playoffs all the way to the world series. Woe was poor lil' UNT! How could we compete with that? Externalities will always exist. Learn to coexist, adapt, and thrive in their presence.

I've observed this before, and yeah, that's roughly what an assistant manager at QT makes. I don't know if those salaries are set by the state or the university or if they can even be negotiated. They do need to increase substantially.

Two consecutive years in a row of tickets in the correct place AND parking passes in one convenient envelope for me! Thank the sweet baby Jeebus that my chairbacks are permanently installed though, because when I was considering buying tickets in the lower bowl, I would absolutely have purchased the chairbacks, and brother, there would have been one shitstorm of angry middle aged man temper tantrum if I'd suffered through the "Yeah, we know it's December. We're working on getting those installed. Meanwhile, thanks for the extra money." But yeah. That f'ing ticket office. Horrible. I remember last year, I found an active club ticket on the ground. I took it to the ticket office to see if they had a phone number on file to call the rightful owner. The response I got was akin to clubbing baby seals to death with the frozen corpses of child trafficking victims. I don't remember how I found the rightful owner on my own, but I did. On my own. The ticket office had no such f'ing interest in taking care of their higher paying constituents.

It's not a North Texas game until I've got one of Tony's balls in my mouth.
