  1. Here are some of the inconsistancies in this case: Getting extra Testosterone is something that will take a long time to work. The effects are not immediate (like the BONK in stage 16 followed by the superhuman effort in stage 17). I believe the Yellow Jersey, Stage winner, and even the top finishers in each stage and the top ranked riders overall are tested. Landis was tested before stage 17 with negative results. Now, one day the ration is inflated. That is very inconsistant. In Landis statements today (8/7), he explained that it is partly the fact that his level of testosterone is not high, but the other part of the ratio is exceptionally low. Lots of media people are compairing this to Berry Bonds. Unlike Bonds, Landis body "structure," performance, and riding technique have not changed over the years. Like Armstrong, his performance has been consistant. So there is no history of Landis using performance enhancment drugs. The testing facility violated its own rules by anouncing to the public the results of the tests. What other inconsistancies do they have? I know I have been pee tested for work or pre employment screening. Those are VERY STRICTLY CONTROLLED and I watch the packaging of the test and even initial the tape across the bottle. While it has not come out what the exact procedures are for handling the tests and tamper prevention, I can see this coming out in the case.
  2. Does the term "Sellout" apply to Craig? Granted I cheer for a lot of other teams but I definately have my school at the top of the list.
  3. And Craig graduated from UNT too!!!
  4. Lots available on eBay. Search North Texas.
  5. And it isn't "Whisful Thinking"... it will just take till 2012 before it is a reality.
  6. Not sure where UNT enrollment is ranked in the state. It's true...UNT is no longer the "little bitty comuter school" it was when I went. Time for the Administration to stop thinking like a comuter school. I would think everyone else (Alumni, students, staff) has already thinking like a big school.
  7. Barajas has gotten less playing time because he is slumping. Laird is atleast hitting his weight lately.
  8. I think that is the same reason I started channel surfing on the way home one day. Stumbled on Russ Martin. Pretty stupid too but Russ admits it is stupid and does not advertise itself in the shell of a sports talk program.
  9. Bought this one over the weekend in Tyler. Not bad. Granted it was the only UNT hat they had in the store.
  10. I can't list just 3. I can probably list about 30 with a valid arguement for each. But no one wants to read a post that long.
  11. It was just added today (7/31). Play of the day...big run even thought he threw a shoe.
  12. I'm kind of suprised that there are so few listening to The Hardline. I am usually listening to Russ Martin at that time. What is everyone else doing/listening to?
  13. With the pickup of the pitcher Wells and 1B/DH Stairs, this may help the Rangers down the run. Interesting observation though. On the Rangers website, you can look at each player and the results and BA over the last 10 games. Except for the recent arrivals this last week, only Young and Tex were hitting above their season average for that span. Everyone else was way below average. The pitchers have the same statistical history. Almost all of the pitchers had worse ERAs over the last 10 games and many with losing records. To me this does not bode well for a strong finish. I'm not writing off the season yet. Too much time left. But the Rangers can't afford to be slumping now and can not recover from falling back 5-10 games.
  14. This is exactly what happens in cycling. The accused is left twisting in the wind for days or weeks until the final verdict is made. Right now Floyd is getting judged in the court of public opinion. They still have to publish the results of the second test. No one will remember that the second test was negative (if that is the case). Everyone will just remember "Oh, he had a positive test." I am withholding my judgment till the report of the second test is final.
  15. The only one in the list that I dislike is Dr. Phil (shocking).
  16. I bet it was after midnight too. "Nothing good can happen to you after midnight."
  17. There's their problem. They're from TENNESSEE.
  18. I was going to do that a couple of years ago when I was going into surgery. She wouldn't let me.
  19. I'm not as fat as the guy in the commercial...but I am the "Way too proud of Texas guy."
  20. I don't recall right off, but didn't we get dissed like that in 2001 when we won the first conference title? That was so sweet. Sort of an "IN YOUR FACE" type response. "UNT will suck so bad...what's that...they just beat the pants off everyone in the conference...humph." Guess UNT will have to do it again. I love getting the last laugh.
  21. Other then Mean Green Online and Voertman's, depends on what you want. Lids.com for hats. That is about all I can think of right off.
  22. Available brands So these are the only teams available right now? Contact Us Fan Brands 255 Satellite Blvd. Suite 100 Swanee GA 30024 Fax: (678) 730-0604 Phone: (678) 730-0600 Email: info@fan-brands.com OF COURSE Georga is going to be available.
  23. CRAP! There goes half my arguements. Kidding. I get when others bash my school so I will refrain from bashing other people's schools in such a derogatory manor.
  24. CRAP! I gota work that day. Save me some grub. I guess I will have to save myself for the SMU game.
