Coffee and TV

Frisco is growing a lot faster, but Denton is still bigger. Frisco also has a wealthier tax base to keep up with the growth. Frisco's main economic engine is growth, whereas Denton has always been more established. Tiny prairie towns generally have an advantage when it comes to rate of growth to a city that has older infrastructure and residents that aren't as transient. Not to mention a commute from Frisco to anywhere with higher-paying jobs is much easier than from Denton. Denton is transitioning from college-town to suburb and the growth will come with it. City officials have gotta figure out how to balance that, and from the complaints I hear they don't seem to be doing a great job.

Yep. This team looks like it has a ton of talent. We'll get it together come conference time.

Good lord Chris Jones can ball.

Better than nothing, but this broadcast is pretty poor quality. The commentators don't even sound like they're at the game.

OH GOD WHY DID I EVEN ASK. Now I remember...the mystical foul.

Ah, gotcha. And just for the record, I cancelled whoever neg repped you for this post. wtf was that about?

I agree with you on most of your points (including your previous post), but I still buy NCAA for whatever reason. I guess they make enough little quirks every year for me to really enjoy it. I'm a baby though, I play it on easy level so I can win. It rolls off my shoulder when I lose in life or when one of my teams does, but I buy video games so I can win dammit. On regular level its absolutely impossible to gain more than 3 yards a carry, or complete a pass over the middle of the field. Even on easy level its really hard to run the option unless you're running the "load option" which keeps your QB from being slower than molasses. My biggest complaint about this year's game is the ridiculous amount of scoring. I've played multiple games where I'm only the offensive coordinator, and I have to score in the 60's and 70's just to keep pace with the AI. Its pretty bad.

My brain is always on soccer memory overload, did we have a crap offside call that negated a goal?

NIU is in Rockford, which IIRC, is like saying Baylor has the DFW Market. I think that's comparable.

No new stadium. I'm not certain about the uniforms, I haven't paid much attention. The Couching Carousel feature in Dynasty mode is really really cool though.

Big 12 going for West Virginia and probably Louisville/Cinci though. Suppose it has something to do with market size?

Screw tradition, they gotta find a new name for this conference.

Would have to check the lineup for Slovenia, but this is the same team we had to fight to tie in the 2nd half in last year's World Cup.

Well that's enough internet for me today...

It was the same day as the defacto Sun Belt Championship against New Mexico State. That was probably one of my favorite UNT football games I've ever attended. Was slightly bitter that Gameday didn't come to Denton for that one.

They looked respectable against a solid VaTech team, but yeah a 28th ranked team doesn't lose to Illinois the way they did. Nor could they hang with someone like Auburn.

huh?

TARP was bi-partisan and signed under Bush. Funny that Obama gets the socialist tag for this.

lol. Funny thing about that statement is that you're partially right. Reagan was much more moderate in practice than the right likes to believe. Reagan the politician was much further to the right than Reagan the President. I doubt Reagan could even get the nomination in the modern Republican Party. BTW, if I have all this lost credibility then you should stop wasting your time debating me. I'm sure if you just worked a little harder instead, you'd be a lot wealthier.

Based on what? What The National Review had to say? Cato? Funny how in 2004 John Kerry also magically had the "most liberal" voting record. Its hogwash. This president had a moderately liberal Senate career and has been very center since being president. The public option proposed that was so socialist during the health care debate? Originally conceived by Orrin Hatch as a compromise to Hillary Care in the early 90's. Spare me the uber-liberal nonsense.

Oh right, Obama's "far left". Well yeah, to someone maybe to the right of Pat Buchanan. Obama's legislative accomplishments look more like Nixon than they do Carter. I know that's awful to hear, but its true. EDIT: Bad example of someone on the far right.

Nobody was a strong candidate for Republicans in 2008. They had everything working against them, and Obama actually made McCain look even stronger. I'm convinced Clinton would have wiped the floor with McCain. It just wasn't happening for the R's in 08, the cards were stacked agsint them. And if anyone else is nominated then moderates will flock to Obama. They mean a little, but its less about what they show now and more about what they'll show in September after the conventions. Take all the states Obama won in 2008 and put whatever candidate you want against him. You're not going to see Romney flip a lot of them. You're going to see Perry, Cain, ect flip even less. But the economy is pretty stagnant right now, and every R still doesn't beat Obama. If the economy has a normal growth rate (say 4%), Obama will cruise. What election are you gauging this statement on? The last one I can think of is 1992 when Dems ran Clinton. He was far from a core Democrat, he was very blue dog.

Western Kentucky has been unpredictable this season, but they'll get slaughtered tonight. Maybe that'll do enough to give'em a hangover next week. Middle Tenn is terrible. We might be looking at a bowl game folks.

No, the left doesn't want Romney. He would have the best chance at beating Obama than any other candidate. The left would love to run against a more conservative candidate that would be too far right for the middle. Cain wouldn't stand a chance in the general.
