I have no idea what the debate is all about. The state of the Mean Green is...TEXAS!!

A mistake often made by the younger, less experienced crowd. Mark Grace's take on that situation has proven time and time again to be a long term winning proposition.

One of the reasons I chose UNT over other area alternatives was because of the guy with the foundation repair company. I look at UT Dallas and UTA, and I see a lot of people going on to rot their lives away in cubicles. I look at UNT alumni, and I see people going out into the world with real practical knowledge and making a living on and of their own accord. I decided to stop working because I was sick of the corporate life and knew that it was truly going to kill me before the age of 40 (that is, if marriage and/or mass consumption of self medication didn't get me first!). I looked at UNT's program, and saw the opportunity to get out from under the corporate thumb in eight years or less, and I jumped at the chance. I think the so-called "commuter" schools like UNT should market this quality more heavily.

Further proving universal adoration for all things Orange County, no one has ever given me grief for donning my UC Irvine stuff! Surprising considering we've never lost a football game. You'd think people would be jealous! This brings up a question. For guys like me who didn't have football in college, who are we supposed to root for? I was always a Cal fan by virtue of a couple graduate students who were in my fraternity and absconded with me in the night one year to attend the Cal Stanford game (if you count sitting on tightwad hill drinking mass quantities of alcohol as attending). I've been a fan of the Golden Bears ever since. Is that legitimate fanhood? Should I in reality be barred from being a fan of college football? Of course, the answer for me was to start this whole college thing all over again and choose a school with football, thereby getting it right this time!

I don't know whose toes I stepped on with helmet stickers and I don't know why, but so it is. Metallics, on the other hand, are for the 80s era night clubs, not the football field. I hated it when the NFL went to shiny pants, and I absolutely loathed it when some teams started donning metallic helmets. They look like a bad paint job on a Datsun 280ZX driven by a guy who hasn't heard the news that Magnum PI has been cancelled. If we're gonna' do metallic helmets, I think we need the coaching staff in linen blazers with the sleeves rolled up, and everyone should be required to maintain a 3-day growth.

The more I watch college football, the more I wonder if anybody anywhere has offensive huddles anymore. Hell, that was half the fun of playing the game! "Alright guys, we're gonna' do a right fake screen. Got it? Good. Did you see that blond in the stands? I think she's making eyes at you Steve!"

Vanderbilt must be a great place to coach. You get SEC money, but not the level of week to week pressure one would get at the LSUs or Tennessees of the world.

Isn't there an NCAA moratorium on moving up in division right now? I know a school can't go from D2 to D1, but does it include FCS to FBS?

What? No mention of the empirical pier foundation repair guy who's on the radio 24/7 touting himself as a UNT alum and has a business phone of 1-877-Meangreen?

Thanks. How does one capture video like that? I wasn't able to figure it out.

I was talking about the NCAAs because I misread the OP. Is the Sunbelt a multi-bid conference in women's soccer?

I don't know about that. I hear tell that past Frisco Mayor Mike Simpson, in his mission of unmitigated expansion for Frisco, extended a bid for relocation to UNT before Dallas Baptist came to town. The proposed site for UNT ended up becoming IKEA instead. I like to call him Mike "If you build it they will come (on the undeveloped 2-lane roads in and out of town)" Simpson.* *Sorry, this would really only be funny to Frisco residents.

Yes, I am a former pot smoker. But then I learned to cook, and all my pots stopped smoking. I never did try cooking with seeds and stems though...what's that all about? Steamed broccoli and roasted pumpkin seeds?

You mean this?

UNT should have green helmet stickers. This week, Tobe's helmet would look like the days of old, and he'd have stickers on his shoulder pads. I was both bummed and impressed that UNT didn't engage in an end of the game grenade celebration. WKU's helmets frighten me. Are they meant to stimulate dancing? Couple's skate? Bell bottom fashions? One word for the WKU PA announcer -- qualudes Bowling Green, KY...Site of a provisional 1A college, or on location shooting destination for Deliverance 2? Bowling Green, KY -- World leaders in maintaining US dominance in BMI! (Anyone notice that guy holding the sticks? I think he had Mark Mangino for breakfast!) Do they try to stuff the linemen into middle seats on Southwest planes? Do UNT players get free peanuts on Southwest charter flights? Watching yesterday's game on ESPN 360, I wonder if the math department has redefined the meaning of 19,000. Were they counting attendance in binary? It's fun to read opponent's message boards and watch the despair and misery from the outside looking in. If we could score 51 points a game, we'd be 6-3. Encouraging or frightening? After that shoestring incompletion by Casey last night, if he doesn't make the NFL, he's got a brilliant sales career ahead of him. I believed it even on the replays! I love Scrappy, but felt something was missing last night with no mascot altercations.

'tis true. Prior to my student days, when I flew more than I drove, I used to run into the football team quite frequently on their outbound flights.

I sense a challenge!

About 5 or 6 shots worth. Speaking of which, I'm showing up at 9am on the 29th. Ribs in the smoker, and green jello shots in the cooler. Hope to see you there!

Great article in the otherwise worthless Texas Monthly this month titled Texas Inc. or how UT turned college sports into big business. Love to see power houses like this with their 9 figure budgets go down.

I am a huge fan of Lubbock Texas right now. That street with all the dollar shot bars must be going nuts right now.

What's the tourney like in women's soccar? Is it a field of 64?

Hah! Nice try, I checked the calendar!

Mark today on your calendar ladies and gentlemen. Something fundamentally changed today. It's the anti-Tulsa game.
