  1. I think considering UTD's beginnings and its current student body makeup, they just don't go after the same type of students you'd find at UNT.
  2. UCF. We're not as much of a destination school as Central Florida, but a lot of the same elements are there.
  3. Hard for me to believe A&M ranks that high. I know they have good programs for certain subjects, but I've known some absolute morons who have been accepted there. Granted some of them ended up dropping out, but still.
  4. There's no doubt that LBJ had definitely turned in favor of Civil Rights as a congressman where previously he hadn't exactly championed it. It was my understanding that the film wasn't wrong about him being hesitant in pushing for the Civil Rights Act of 1965 as he felt he expunged all of his political capital on the 1964 act. From what I remember, he was in favor of what King was doing at Selma, and had even encouraged it, but wasn't as quick to push for more action as rapidly as King was.
  5. Despite lacking the shade of grey that historians paint LBJ with during the civil rights era, Selma was a really, really well done film.
  6. Maybe we just need Dunbar to convince a few of his Cowboy friends.
  7. Are you asking rhetorically? My title got cut off and I was asking if we still had room for a 3 star running back.

  9. I NEED A 6TH HOME GAME OR MY WIFE WILL LEAVE ME
  10. 6-6 and we clinch a crappy bowl game. Why the hell not.
  11. I'm talking about building a time machine and your beef is that Tom Robinson is fictional?
  12. She's like 90. What she's gonna do with that kind of money?
  13. Sold 40 million copies of To Kill a Mockingbird. It's no wonder she never bothered writing another book until now.
  14. I'm glad Del Tacos started opening up around here. Their 99 cent chicken soft tacos are excellent and while not the highest quality, $2 fish tacos are a great fix if you're looking for something quicker and cheaper than Fuzzy's.
  15. If he was making great grades as the articles say he was, what made him ineligible at Guyer?
  16. Still can't believe we lost that match to Portland....
  17. Seen Selma or read any of the reviews on it? I still want to see if but will be going into it a little weary because of the way the director portrayed LBJ as some sort of antagonist to MLK. Yeah I've always heard "the computer was essentially invented during WW2" but never read much of the details about it's beginnings. It was really cool film that didn't get you caught up in the minute details of it all and focused more on Turing. The flashback sequences did well to explain enough as well, there was no need for a full biography of it all. It's a damn shame what happened to him after the war though. Pretty good film but I still put it behind The Theory of Everything and maybe Wild. I really gotta get around to finish out the Best Picture nods.
  18. Have fun with that. Imma be in Coronado with my...umm...medicinal tobacco.
