I read that while waiting for a haircut. Impressive. Looks like a new stadium is not that far away.

He doesn't have a "real" freakishly large head (he may have a big head from the hype of his talent but he does not have a physical large head).

I would say NO but if it were put in place, I would use the claw emblem as the sticker. Put some of those "Spirit Marks" the university spent so much money on to use. Except not quite this big....

Oh leave it to Jimbo Jim Jim to get us thinking there really is a classic Mustang painted up for the Mean Green.

FFR and Stan.... "You are so funny!!!!" Oh ah ha ha ha

Never watched Friday Night Lights so this is no big loss. Never watched The View (only the YouTube clip of her fight and demise). Would NEVER watch The Price is Right anyway so they could put a trained monkey in place of Bob Barker and I still would not watch it.

Yep...Gumble blows.

The rumor mill grinds on. Big 10 REALLY WANT Notre Dame. Never happen. "Why should be share our success with other schools?" Big 10 courted Iowa State, and now Missouri. See if it happens. Maybe the Big 10 should scavenge from another conference. A lot of C-USA teams want in a BCS conference. There are some MAC teams that would like to be in the B10. Both of those conferences have geographically compatible teams.

I know what I am wrapping all my gifts in this year....

And the beef and broccoli that came with it was great…but I am hungry again.

Only 7 plays where he is running the ball and I think 5 of those were him geting out of jail to avoid a sack. We know he has an arm. It is nice to know he can evade the rush. The way to beat a spread iis to send one more defender then they have blockers. Let's see him do some of this against Zero U and Ar Kansas (if he plays in those games).

This shirt is not that unusual. There are always "off colors" shirts available. Other colors of T-Shirts I have seen include pink, black, grey, variations of blue and red.

I just hope he can get on with a team. Hope he doesn't have to go to Canada.

What was the worst travisty of the old system was that BYU was a national champion. They played Michigan in the Holiday Bowl. A Michigan team that was 6-5 that year. The problem wasn't that they won the championship, it was that they played a soft schedule and played a bad team in the bowl game. BCS is better then the old system...but still a far cry from what needs to happen.

The slogan is pretty creative and actually kind of nice. (pardon while I wash my mouth out with soap) The logo of a pony next to a child's drawing of an arrow pointing up...I think I would kill my self if I were with SMU and had to wear something like that.

Or better yet, INTERNATIONAL tuition rates.

don't get me started on the double standard of the NCAA on this "indian mascot" crap.

What disturbs me is that you can go to any store and find UT, aTm, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio State, et al CRAP to buy. Not just t-shirts but ANYTHING. And not just major stores but convenience stores too. I remember a few Christmas’s ago I was at the Frisco Mall and there was a kiosk selling college and NFL logo wooden footballs. Very professional. Nice trinket to put on a mantle or display somewhere. No North Texas available. “Can’t get the license to produce it.” Then the branding committee starts up and they spend a lot of money for a logo, emblem, and all the stuff that goes with it. ok. They spend all that money on branding and DON’T USE IT! There is still a very limited range of items you can buy(shirts, the car decals, hats are about all I have seen) and only a slightly larger number of stores where to buy it (I got my polo shirt from Sam’s Warehouse in Lewisville and I see more NT baseball caps at Lids). It would be hard to convince me that the local stores of national chains (Sears, JC Penneys, Wal-Mart, Dillard’s, etc.) do not want to carry UNT branded merchandise. I like Voertman’s but that can not be the ONLY place in the world to get merchandise.

Regardless, we are stuck with the BCS as is for at least another 3-4 years (2010 or 2011). Maybe a few years of getting screwed out of the championship or left out of the BCS bowl (see Wisconsin for the last 3 years) will soften their tone. Wisconsin has been the third team in the B10. BCS can only take 2 teams max from a conference. Wisconsin finished 6th in the nation last season and went to the best non-BCS bowl for the 4th year in a row (Capirol One Bowl). Their only loss was to Michigan. They didn't play OSU last year. Lets see what USC says when UCLA, Washington, Cal, and Stanford come around in a few years and USC ends up ranked in the top 12 but the thrid team out in the P10.

First they wanted Iowa State since Iowa is in the B10. Refused. Then they wanted Notre Dame. Refused. (Why should we share all our money with a conference?) Now they want Missouri. They will be a bigger whipping boy then Northwestern or Indiana in football. I doubt it will happen. But if it does that opens a big campaign for schools for the B12N. Tulsa, Memphis, Colorado State. There are probably another 6 or so that would be a good fit.

I thought you picked the letters when you applied for the license... They are given randomly? And the license plate printers are sure to remove sequences of letters that could be taken the wrong way (KKK, FUC, FUK, et al).

Don't get me started on the double standard by the NCAA and the indian mascots. I have ranted many times before.

Hope they didn't pay money for that.

Now up to 6 pictures. 2 helmets, gloves, shoes, sox, and wrist bands. This is like a Chineese Water Torture.

Not that suprised. Coming off a 3-9 season, new coach...I would expect a lot of predictions to have NT at or near the bottom. I think a lot of people will be eating crow if NT can score some points (14+) against OU, beat SMU, and score some points (20+?) against Arkansas. First 4 games are going to be very interesting.
