I know that our history's heroes are all flawed in some way, except for Christ of course. However, I heard that this new version was to portray the Texans as war mongers, evil, and as the bad guys. Hope Im wrong.

Isn't this version supposed to portray the Mexicans as the good guys, or at least the Texans as not the great heroes we were taught.

AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! They just started the game and they are wearing those God aweful things again. They litterally hurt my eyes. I'm sending a letter to the stars. This is ridiculous. They should never have left their original home jersey, just make an adjustment to their road ones.

I was being sarcastic, you obviosuly dont know be very well. You'll know when Im pissed

Darn, you guys beat me to the topic. I have to say that these are horrible. They may be one of the top 5 worst uniforms in pro sports.

I think we need to hold a candlelight vigil in hopes they bring Reunion back.

Ahhh yes, Im a typical Cowboys fan. If by typical you mean someone who follows them through their hard times, then yes I am. I have been a big Cowboys fan all my life. One of my earliest memories is watching a game with my dad. I think I have earned the right to be pissed and need a break from them.

Never implied that Don was their ticket to the Super Bowl, although the defense will be on the field alot. But with Don on at least the practice squad, I had some reason to give a crap.

Well, its official. Screw the cowpukes. I hope they lose the rest of their games this season. When they get a real QB, draft better, and sign a good CB, I may be able to overlook them releasing Don. Till then, GO TEXANS!!!

Turco was shaky at times during the playoffs, but remember this was his first year. Many good and hall of fame goalies are shaky in their first playoff run. This guy has the skill and the ability to be a stud. Man I hope we sign him.

I am a huge hockey fan, and I have not liked this off season one bit. But now I am getting concerned. Turco still has not signed with Dallas. This guy is going to be a top NHL goalie. However, he is young. He needs to get signed and practice with the team before training camp progresses. I feel he is going to resign with Dallas, but I feel he needs the most practice time available.

Ain't that the truth. That whole scene down there is just wrong.

Word is that the new AD will be David Koresh. His style fits nicely with Baylor's problems. <_

I see alot of speculation about hockey and the rink at UNT, so here are the facts. First off, there will be no rink in the forseeable future. There is no land available. When the highway constrution is done, its going to run right on the doorstep of the Murchinson Center, and the Exxon and McDonalds are going to be gone. So, there is literally NO land available. If the Stars were to do anything it would be for non-profit. Its not feasible to give up PRIME UNT land for nothing in return. We will not have a NCAA Hockey team for a long time. First off it would through Title IX off and we would once again be non-compliant. There are no other teams in this region with NCAA teams. All of them are club teams. In order for us to move to NCAA, all of the other schools would have to move up at the same time. Even if they wanted to, there is still the problem of facilities. If I remember correctly, you have to have your home venue within a certain distance from your campus. So, even if we DID have a rink, not all of the other schools would have a venue. All of the schools have to go in together, or its a waste. Also, We will have a baseball team long before a hockey team. As much of a hockey fan and student of the game I am, I have to admit that baseball makes more sense. Being in the D/FW metroplex, we are sitting on a gold mine of talent regarding baseball players. When TU won the national championship, I was amazed at the number of players that were from this area. While hockey is booming at an incredible rate, and i enjoy it more, for us baseball makes more sense. Maybe in the future...

YYYEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so long jerk ass!!!! I can officially be a Mavs Fans again.

Extra room, 2nd floor, poolside view, right outside the sand volleyball court. Let me know if you are interested.

If you haven't heard, the Rice Owls defeated the tu shortwhorns Wednesday in the CWS semis. I don't know about you, but I'm always happy to see the failure of one of those sorry sob money whore schools. I never realized just how much I hate them until just recently, but now I am full fledged anti bcs. If anyone did watch it, did you notice how many of the tu kids on the team had that country boy redneck look? Also, I got sick and tired of those horny camera men panning in on the hot tu girls every five minutes. I agree they have some attractive girls, but come on, try taking a cold shower every once in a while.

It appears that the first two causalties of the Stars offseason are occuring. Kirk Muller will not be offered a contract before the July 1 free agent period begins. This is not unexpected, as the Stars have some vrey promising talent looking to take over the ranks. I expect Kirk to sign with a different young team who is looking for some veteran leadership. Also, Ulf Dahlen will apparently not be offered a contract and is contemplating retirement, and a return to his native Switzerland. Hate to lose them, but professional hockey is a business.

I know this is a a couple of weeks late, but c'mon Ive been busy. Anyways, I am a student of the game of hockey. It is my favorite sport followed closely by college football. Here are my thoughts on the season and the players. Personally, I think it was a successful season. True, they did not win the Stanley Cup, but they made some impressive strides. They have made some major personel changes from the previous season, and have added some new players. These new components need time to find their place on the team, who had a new coach and new system. They found some future stars for the team, I think they will contend for the cup next season. With a little more time to come together, they will be a serious force for several years to come. Jason Arnott - Center: Big physical forward with alot of skill. When he was not injured, he showed the ability to contribute. I think he will continue to improve. he will be a solid anchor for your third line for several years. Stu Barnes - Center: Good acquisition at the trade deadline. Proved that he still has a lot of talent left. Gritty forward with skill in front of the net. He will be back and contributing next year. Philippe Boucher - Defense: Brilliant signing in the off season. Proved to be a very valuable asset on the blue line. Very dependable and will continue to do so for 3-4 years. Ulf Dahlen - Right Wing: Another brillian move in the offseason. Played for the Stars during their first season here, before being traded. Came back to Dallas and impressed many with his reliable play. Still has scoring talent and is a hard working blue collar player. May finish his career with Dallas, but with so many young players, he may be forced to finish elsewhere. Still, I'd hate to lose him. Rob DiMaio - Right Wing: Blue collar winger, that plays well. can conrtibute on your third of fourth line. Not sure how much is left on his contract. With some of the players that were brought up, I would like to see him go elsewhere and get more playing time. Aaron Downey - Right Wing: Your future enforcer ladies and gentlemen. 6'0, strong, and physical. If you need someone put in their place, send in Downey. Probably won't play alot if he is strictly an enforcer. If he works on his skill, especially around the net, he will get more playing time. I would love to see Downey kick the crap out of Donald Brashear. John Erskine - Defense: Possibly the next Matvichuk. 6'4 and another strong and physical player. Also seems to have some decent offensive skill at the least. Is very young, will probably have his first full year in the NHL next season. He looks to be very promising. He may replace Richard Matvichuk. Bill Guerin - Right Wing: Good acquisition. Very Physical and impressive offensive skill. Offensive skills compliment Modano nicely. Can take some, if not alot of the physical pressure off of Modano, opening the ice up for Mike. With his strength and physical ability, Will be happy to drop the gloves and defend the franchise player. Will be here for many years. Derian Hatcher - Defense: Team captain and leader. Physical ability is impressive. Has proven to have offensive skill inthe past. Would like to see him strp it up in that department more. Tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, having goals unluckily bounce off him at times. Regardless, still a solid player and good team leader. Niko Kapanen - Center: Another young player. Seems to have some very promising offenisve ability. I look forward to seeing him improve and have a future on the Stars. Jere Lehtinen - Right Wing: One of the MOST UNDERRATED players in the NHL. Solid defensive forward. Versatile and can play on either wings. Time and time again comes through with excellent defensive play and hardworking forchecking in the offensive zone. His dedication and hard work often leads to scoring chances. Has quality offensive abilities to finish what he starts. Is a good rolemodel and example for the new Stars, as well as the young hockey players out there that need someone to imitate. Claude Lemieux - Right Wing: Big, Physical, true tough guy. Once touted as the most hated man in the NHL. Will step up and mix things up on both sides of the ice. Physical play can createn chances in front of the net. With the future of the Stars already arriving, I would not expect him to be here next year. However, with the uncertainty of the future, and a possible play stoppage, the Stars may keep him. It won't hurt thier pocketbooks. With his physical ability, they may find a use for him. Manny Malhotra - Center: Promising young player. Sees limited playing time, but I think he was a bargain. Looks to have raw skils that need more developing. Does not get pushed around either. I think he has a bright futire in the NHL, hopefully with Dallas. Richard Matvichuk - Defense: Solid defensive player and contributes offensively. Physical like a d-man should be. Has said that he wants to stay in Dallas. With the development of Erskine, Richards tenure here may be over. He could stay here in a limited role while Erskine gets more playing time next season. If the Stars do resign him, it will be a short term contract, and if Erskine does look to develop like expected, look for Matvichuk to be traded. I don't expect Richard to have much time here left. Mike Modano - Center: Widely regarded as the best all-around player in the NHL, by players, fans, and everyone in the hockey world. Speed, skill, accurate and powerful shot, excellent passing, quick, smart, and not afraid to be physical. Does not let himself get pushed around, and now he doesn't have to with Morrow and Guerin on his line. Has improved his defensive play over the last few seasons. Not really anything else to say, he is just simply awesome. Brenden Morrow - Left Wing: A newer version of Pat Verbeek (one of my favs) Not the biggest guy, but a hard worker and it pays off. Likes to play physical. The only catch of the other guys, he has quality offensive ability to go with that physical play. He can score in front of the net, or between the faceoff dots. He will also drop the gloves, and despite his size, not a bad fighter. Great decision to move him to Modano's line. Gives Mike a great passing target. Many scoring chances this past season were due to Mondano and Morrow. I would love to see them together next year. Kirk Muller - Left Wing: Gritty forward who knows what it takes to win. would like to stay with Dallas, but once again, due to the new talent coming up, may not be back. Good stable anchor for your 4th line. Reliable defensively and can be a role model. Lyle Odelein - Defense: Trade deadline acquisition, but did not get much ice time. I think he was hurt during most of his stay. I probably don't think he will be back. The defense looks pretty solid. He will porbably go to a team that needs a good physical, experienced, blue liner but doesn't have the money. Will probably end up with a team that needs some leadership. Steve Ott - Center: A future stud for Dallas. Ive been tracking his progress trhough the minors and Im glad he is finally here. He will be a good scorer and wont take anything from anybody either. I look forward to seeing him develop. Stephane Robidas - Defense: Promising young d-man. Got more playing time as the season went on. Looked impressive and promisng. I think he has a bright future. Darryl Sydor - Defense: Quality offensive defensman and reliable on both sides of the ice. I would like to see him stay here, but with the younger players, could be on his way out. Ron Tugnutt - Goaltender: Veteran goaltender and quality backup to Turco. May be too expensive to keep and not start. Dallas will probably turn to a less expensive backup next season. Marty Turco - Goaltender: Promising young goalie. Very talented, but sometimes risky. Will be an exciting goalie and fun to watch. Did very well in his first season, but the playoff pressure may have gotten to him. Expect him to come back hungry next season. Pierre Turgeon - Center: Has not shown much his first 2 seasons. So far a dissappointment. Cleared waivers, but will probably be back next season, at least going into training camp. Scott Young - Right Wing: Quality pickup. Has come thorugh with offensive play several times. expect him to contribute on the second ot third lines next year. Sergei Zubov - Defense: Very offensive minded defenseman. Anchor of your power play. Great passer and hard shot. Sometimes lacking on defense and seemingly lack of effort, though. Would like to see him try harder and definetly take more slapshots from the blue line.

Once again, it seems the point of my post has been missed. I never said that gold did not require talent, or skill, or practice. I am happy to hear that they represented the university well, even though this university has treated me like crap the past year, but thats another story. Classifying golf as a sport all depends on which perspective you take. if you look at it from the "entertainment" perspetive, its a sport. If you look at it from a kinesiology perspective, and actual athletic ability, it is not a sport. Sorry, but when I see a pro golfer smoking a cigerette in between putts, that erases any thought in my mind that it is a sport. As far as car racing, personnally, I view it as a sport. It takes alot of physical strength and stamina to control a race car. Futhermore, one wrong move and you could DIE.

DANG! What is your problem? If you don't like the post, just hit the backspace button instead of padding your post numbers.

well, actually eagle chick, I did not take a potshot at them. I am glad they represented the university. But Golf is not a sport. There is no physical exertion in it. It is very sedentary. And don't try to throw the old, "lets see you carry a golf bag across a course. If that is the only thing that makes it a sport, then carrying my 20-30 pound backpack across campus is a sport too. And the fact that I have only played golf in my beginners golf course has nothing to do with anything. Brian, by your reasoning, the fact that I have never played chess means that I can not say it is not a sport.

If you don't like my posts, then dont read them, much less respond to them.
