In talking to my brother, who's a cop, he mentioned that as long as the word "Texas", and the license letter/# combination are not obscured in any way, most police will leave you alone. He specifically said that he felt they probably would have better things to do.

Nice!

We're making some calls now. Fuggedaboudit.

Grandstand seats are still $6. Parking's $10. Not too bad. The wife and I went alone to one game last year and were out $16. We got a free ticket w/Star-Telegram Press Pass. You can also bring a cooler if it's soft and no bigger than 12"x12"x6". We brought in more food and drink than we could eat, and only spent another $20 bucks on ballpark-specific items. Anyway, FWIW. Also, the FW Cats put on a pretty good show, and the kids love it. Tuesday's are 1/2 price, so you can get in for as little as $2. Parking is $3 I think.

Why yes. Yes it is.

Very true. This board is no different than any big 1A school's board. In fact, it's LESS vicious, if that's possible, due to it's smaller size, and relatively lower # of nutjobs. But, like the others, it's still populated mostly by people who don't really know what they're talking about--but think they do. (includes self in that list)

Awesome OT! Congrats. Must be a chip off the ol' block.

UNT Listed...

Here's aggy perspective of their own team: "no more real bonfire, fake bonfire failed to burn (my personal favorite), lost 6 in row to hated Texas, 77-0, loss to Baylor, two losing seasons in 3 years, disastrous 2006 recruiting class, openly mocked by Texas Tech coach in NYT, Cotton Bowl debacle, Iowa State farce, VY vs. Reggie, L'il Debbie snack cakes, list eater, **** tosser, booing at half-empty Kyle field, "can you help me with this", Whataburger drive-thru racial epithets, drug dealing starters, reliance on JUCOs, worst defenses in school history, rectum crew, "WOW", "Hold the Rope", Bama resurgence, TCU resurgence, $ 1 million "donation", post-season weeping, MacIII looking for back-to-back Rose Bowl wins, **** bookstore hurricane preparation . . . "-----An aggy perspective on the aggy football team.

The free board at OB sucks. Too many nitwits. The pay board is much better, and lots of stuff going on there. GMG is a breath of fresh air sometimes.

Those are very sharp, Rick. Nice job! And congrats on the new pickup.

Amon Carter is very good. Not blown away by the atmosphere, but there is some there. Good place to "see" a game, though. Cotton Bowl is a great place atmosphere-wise depending on who's playing--which goes for a lot of stadiums--UT included. Also thought SBC Jones is a great places to see a game, as far as the sightlines. Fans and atmosphere: obnoxious when they're winning, and disappear when they get their teeth kicked in. Sun Bowl is great. Pyle and the cult are loud, except when they're getting their asses beat, and 75% of the students disappear in the 4th. Gameday at Fouts is better than I've ever seen it, but the old girl has seen her time.

Continuing the vintage SNL: And after eating SCB, you'll need "@ss Don't Smell".

I have no issue with this either. I realize that it's sometimes impossible to get a 1A school as a 12th.

This, IMO, is a band-aid. As UNT is a D1-A school, they need to play as many D1-A schools as possible. Beating up on 1AA schools is not 'moving forward', in any shape or form. The coaching staff/athletic department/team does not need the "out" that victories against D1AA schools provides. They need to produce results at the level of competition that UNT plays. If they are not delivering at the level expected, then changes must be made to achieve that result. Gimme victories against lower-tier schools delays that process, IMO. I'm not against UNT scheduling a 1AA school, but keep it to no more than 1 per year. There need to be no more excuses.

I agree w/UNTGirl and 1855. Which is a better matchup for the metroplex entertainment dollar: TCU vs. Air Force, SMU vs. Houston, or UNT vs. Sam Houston State/Angelo State/Altered State? Which is more likely to attract ESPN coverage? Which is more interesting/impressive to a potential recruit?

Could it be that grades are an issue in some cases?

Yeah, but it's not nearly as much fun!

Hold the rope.

Rivals: "The move reunites Malone with A&M defensive coordinator Gary Darnell after Malone served as cornerbacks coach at Western Michigan from 2004-05 while Darnell was head coach at WMU. Malone also played for Darnell at the University of Texas from 1990-93 as a defensive back. Malone takes the position vacated by former A&M defensive backs coach Melvin Smith who left to take the same title at Mississippi State earlier this month."

I almost hate to post this, but I'm so disgusted, I must. At Lowe's on 183/Ridgmar, there are Lowe's gift cards with NCAA logos. Represented are UT, aTm, Tech, and...UTEP.

These two are very suprising omissions. Both are very good players.
