What are you trying to say? ESPN doesn't care about UNT? Blasphemy!!!

Wait, we play soccer in the US? There is a league for it? Learn something new every day.

Why is this such a big deal? This almost ranks lower on my Why Should I Care Meter than soccer. Almost.

They just ended a 7 game road trip at 5-2. That is a pretty good week of work. They may not finish the season in first, but at least we have some hope for the future. GODD THINGS ARE HAPPENING FOR RANGERS FANS! Who is FC Dallas and why should I care? (I already know the answer, this was said to make the point that how no one cares about soccer)

That makes sense to me. Now, if we can only implement the plan...

I agree with almost all of this. I do have a difference in opinion about the bolded statement, though. The college degree has already been devalued some by the fact that such a large portion of the nation is able to attain one due to the recent trends that make getting into college easier and then easier to pass. I am not saying that we should stop this trend, but to require it seems to go against the idea of higher education. The people who are more gifted will then need to spend another two years in school to get a Master's in order to set themselves apart from everyone else. Besides, college isn't for everyone. I have known many people who didn't go to college, and were better served for it.

Either way.

Let's not overstate our importance here. We have input on the elephant, but not control. There are always other factors that come into these decisions. Besides, I don't have the money to have significant input on the elephant. I love speaking in code, it makes me feel like I have a secret.

I saw it in digital at the Rave at Northeast Mall, and that was pretty awesome. I have also seen digital at the Cinemark that you mentioned, also awesome. Digital projection is definately a very enjoyable experience.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

We all know the record. Mentioning it every third post does not change it either. And as far as I am concerned, I have no control over the elephant, so it can stay in the corner and I am not going to concern myself with it. Recruiting is what is going on right now, and we have seen improvement in this area, so at least we have that.

He is not telling you what to post, but voicing a complaint about mentioning the record over and over. A lot of people on this board have complained that Vito mentions it too much and it has gotten old. OT is just saying the same thing about certain posters on this board. I think it is a vallid complaint.

Since when was the Daily a reputable source of information about the stadium? Either way, as long as we are breaking ground and opening a new stadium, I could care less about the date we break ground.

Even more surprising is that they educate people.

Couldn't the same be said for people saying to opposite? Teams make big turn arounds every year.

I am not sure that I want to go completely into methodogies here, but your opinion stated above appears to be misinformed. Becuase everyone's opinion counts in the general election, then everyone's vote counts in an opinion poll. What you are proposing is not exactly representative. If you want to go down that path, then here is what you might experience. One could argue that all of the younger people don't have the experience needed to formulate an opinion, so let's just slice out the 18-24 year olds. And the people over 65 are not in touch with everything like they should be, so they are now gone too. And let's be honest, the less wealthy are not contributing as much, so they're opinion doesn't really count either. Now, let's see if we can find a way to take out the people who live on the coasts, since the sea water has probably rotted their brains or something. Now, doesn't this start to look a little skewed? This could be used to go the other way too, so be careful what you wish for. And I guess opinions are a little as you say. How many people understand the concepts of survey design and methodologies and how best to implement them? Not as many as probably understand the high finance of the auto industry as I would guess. A lack of understanding does not mean that people cannot have opinions.

I don't think that it is possible for me to disagree more with you here. You cannot make decisions about whose opinion counts and whose doesn't. Just because people are not well informed or intelligent does not mean that they don't count. In order to create a poll that is statistically significant, and therefore representative of the opinions of the US population, you must adhere to certain standards. The most important is that you cannot throw out good responses because they don't fit the mold of the perfect citizen. Do we start throwing out their votes next? A poll is a measure of public opinion. If a portion of the public is uninformed and uneducated, then so should a portion of the poll that represents everyone. Are polls always 100% accurate? No. But they can give a feel of what the public thinks, usually within ~5% above or below.

There's an old reference. Mmmmmm.... I'm telling!!!! I think I may have created a monster of Haiku proportions. Let's hope I am wrong.

I was just noting the recent outlash against the b-word. There is discussion about b-word dogs being bad and flu of the b-word variety. Must be a bad word.

I respectfully disagree.

So, would it be ok if we use Morse Code since few actually know it? Just a hypothetical. .- .-. . / .-- . / -.-. ..- .-. ... .. -. --. ..--.. / -.-. .- -. / .. / .--- --- .. -. / .. -. ..--.. / .... . .-.. .-.. / -.. .- -- -. / ..-. .- .-. - .-.-.- / -... .- .-. - / ... .. -- .--. ... --- -.

Watch out, Hillsboro and Waxahachie are passing us by.

Yeah, you need to become more like this... Okilie Dokilie?
