I bought one of these (the big sized) tumblers at Bed, Bath and Beyond in Denton today: http://www.tervis.com/store/retail/product...D=535&CID=5

I agree with you, for the most part. However, there is no way that I'd want us to have the kind of deal that ULM has with Arkansas.

Mr. McKay had many great moments as a sportscaster. None however, topped his brilliance in covering the 1972 Olympics, where he went from sportscaster to newscaster. He was a great one.

If FFR had been at that game with Jennie pitching....the fire would have been caused by "pants friction."

I realize that Tulsa may be decreasing their stadium size (to 26,000?)...but that isn't preventing OU from playing there in 2014. It's a part of a three game series, with games in Norman in 2013 and 2015. Texas will go to Wyoming and play in that 32,000 seat stadium, and now OU agrees to this. FWIW.

A reporter on Channel 11...said that there was a national softball tournament being held out at the park.....and they had a FIREWORKS show tonight. What kind of morons think a fireworks show is a good idea with 40+ mph winds in the area? Anyway, the early word is that they suspect that the fireworks caused the grass fire.

Congrats on your upgrades. And if you all need any expertise in the area of waterless urinals....man, did you come to the right board. Finally, we all YEARN for the day, when there's a webcam set up, showing the progress on our new stadium. May it happen soon.

I haven't found confirmation (on the net) of this yet...but: Channel 8 news (at 5) reported that the Amon Carter Foundation is giving TCU $15 million to renovate the football stadium. I know $15 million isn't a huge amount...compared to what UT and A $ M do, when they renovate...but man would I love for us to have $15 million to work with. GMG!

If Notre Dame hired RV....I predict that the Jesus statue would stop signaling a "touchdown"....and would immediately start flipping the bird.

I'm proud of this young man. Good luck to him and his family: http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...0.41ba0757.html

I do know that I gave the Mean Green Club a donation of $5,000 last year. What did you give, superstar? And for that $5,000...I didn't receive one of the benefits that I was promised. When I brought it up to the AD...he twice (via e-mail) promised to "make it up to me." That was 7 months ago....he hasn't "made up" anything. And so, I lowered my donation for this season (to $1500). WWRVD? Not much. Oh, and I let that one slide. But the next time I get F'd over by him and his Athletic Department....I'll request a visit with Dr. Bataille.

Only at North Texas...is an inefficient Athletic Department....absolutely not the fault of the leader. None at all. But, he should get the credit for everything good that has happened. Maybe at a game next year, you can touch his clothing as he walks by. It might cure the brain tumor that you obviously have.

First of all, RV had nothing to do with Mattress Mac's donation. (MM was Darrell Dickey's boy). That donation was the one, remember that allowed the athletic center to be finished. Oh, that and the bailout from the BOR, because your hero couldn't even raise $6.7 million. Yet, you bring up the thing again and again, about how RV had plans to raise $90 million for Athletics. But somehow when it came to nut crunching time...he couldn't even raise $6.7 million. Also, from what I understand...Mr.Waranch contacted the school wanting to make a donation. The school, referred him to Athletics...where they then cultivated him and he made his donation for the tennis facility. Anyway, this was supposed to be a thread about TSU...which you decided to turn into a RV suckoff. Call me an ingrate, but I don't worship him like you and countless others do.

Sounds to me like a lot of these plans of yours, are the responsibility of the Athletic Director. Maybe the next time he has a Quarterly Meeting you can ask him how things are progressing. Speaking of crickets........

That wouldn't surprise me. Coach Price is 4th in the pecking order of men's b-ball coaches at UNT. I'm sure that if Lamar offers him a #1 assistant position, it would be better for him than being our lowest paid assistant.

Just to let you know, there's some wacky sh!t happening in Ft. Worth, too: http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...h.1fa236a5.html

Oddly enough...the city of Denton just ended its' experiment with bio-diesel: http://www.dentonrc.com/sharedcontent/dws/...4.facf3d01.html

I think the wheels are in motion on the fundraising campaign. While exiting off of I-35 near campus...I saw a bum holding a sign that read: Homeless Viet Nam Vet. Will Work for UNT Stadium Donation. God Bless You. That's phase two of the campaign.

An interesting article. BTW...I've always thought that T Boone Pickens was a shady character. This guy sure seems to imply that, as well: http://seekingalpha.com/article/78440-the-...es?source=yahoo

There are so many "experts" out there...and their predictions are all over the place. Some say the oil price bubble is about to burst...some guy thinks the price of oil will go down after China has its' Olympics...some think the price will continue to rise. This is the scariest predicition that I've seen: http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2...0521145247.aspx

Here's another option for them...the Mid Continent Conference: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketbal...ferences/midco/

IMHO...Wright Waters should have told DU to start looking elsewhere when Utah State, NMSU and Idaho left the Belt. Having them in hoops...creates an unweildy 13-team league. And because of unbalanced divisions (7 in one, 6 in the other)....we play one Eastern division team twice a year, while playing one Western division team only once.
