Also of note is that the 2-pt per season ticket thing is capped at 10 pts. Thus, to get to the 11-49 point level you have to make at least a $100 donation.

From Our Brethren Over At Ponyfans
Texas Stranger replied to emmitt01's topic in Mean Green Football
Respectfully disagree. They would only interpret that as sucking-up or pretending or somesuch. Attitude is the way to go with those nancy-boys, preferably upside the head. Take the series at both sites, and they literally have nothing left to say. Even though that hasn't stopped them before. -

Why ? It would just clang off the empty seats and cause a loud racket. On second thought, that might be kinda funny. -
U Gotta Luv Those Trash Talking Hillbillies Muts
Texas Stranger replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
While ya can't blame them for trying to get as much mileage out of a 35-0 score as possible, here's a score that's a better indicator: 4 - 1 (and unbeaten in MUTSville.) -
Middle Tennessee Should Make A Conference Switch
Texas Stranger replied to MeanGreen61's topic in Mean Green Football
They DO have more "co-championships" than we do, gotta give 'em that... -
I agree with Ken. It's poorly done, just look at the first sentence of the WR section to see what I mean. Man, they've gone downhill.

Now That We Have Four Months Without Football

This is my second can of Dr Pepper today. I need to cut back. -
Why would UT do a NORTH....TEXAS chant ? Except perhaps to encourage their team not to take a money game too lightly.

Gmg Bowl - Last Post Before The Game.
Texas Stranger replied to medpilot21's topic in Mean Green Football
It makes more sense to have a down-by-touching rule for a player that loses their flags inadvertently. That is how 7-on-7 is played (touch), and is consistent with most Flag rules. Some other rules points: There are only 3 things you can do with your hands: Throw , Catch and Grab Flags. Anything else is most likely illegal. Offense: OL Blocking - think of this as "screening". Keep arms in, and move feet to keep yourself between defender and QB. A good technique if you are playing OL in Flag is to grab your waistband or belt with one hand and grasp your wrist with the other. This will help you to not reach out and "hook" a rusher (excellent way to get a Holding call). You cannot "chuck" an opponent. Charging - in Flag, is a foul similar to basketball. Since you can't be tackled or blown-up, neither can you run-over. If a defender is established, you must go a different direction. On incomplete passes, the offense chases and retrieves the ball, even on 4th down. 25-second playclock in effect, starting at ready whistle. I will give a 10-second warning to the QB, if you don't get the play off, well, you DID get a warning. Defense: Pass rushers - Do not jump the count. Do not bull-rush a blocker. Do not swim-move a blocker. Do not knock the QB down. If you jump up to bat down a pass, and miss, and land on QB, ask Pierow how that works out. (hint: Automatic First Down) Fumbles - live only while the ball is in the air. Once it hits the ground, it's dead with the team last in possession keeping possession (unless there's a turnover on downs). The spot will be where it was fumbled. You cannot strip the ball from an opponent (unsportsmanlike). Simultaneous possession of a pass between offensive and defensive player goes to the offense. If trying to de-flag an opponent causes you to accidentally tackle them, you still tackled them. You cannot hold-up an opponent in order to de-flag them with the other hand. Miscellaneous: If there's no applicable Flag rule, NCAA rules will apply. Punting - Will not actually kick the ball. The offense simply announces "punt'" and the ball is moved 30 yards downfield and possession changes. If the walkoff goes into the end zone, it's a touchback. At no time will the ball be placed inside the 5-yard line on a punt, regardless of where the punting spot was. There are no actual kickoffs, either. Unsportsmanlike acts include, but are not limited to: - Tying the flag belt so it doesn't come off. - Stripping the ball - Trash-talk/verbal abuse that is not good-natured, or is the result of hot-headedness. Best thing is buddy-system, don't let your teammate do something everyone will regret. Coaches, if you see someone getting out of control, replace them for a few plays to let them cool off and regain perspective. - Dropping trou. While doing a Heisman pose after a generic, ordinary play is not unsportsmanlike, it is rather doofish. I reserve the the right to adjudicate as I see fit. -
If You Want To Tailgate At The Smu Game Bring $$$
Texas Stranger replied to Baby Arm!'s topic in Mean Green Football
Look at that sea of red in the stands in the first picture Obviously the Tech game a few years back. -
Those T-shirts are great ! When we play Air Force in a couple of years, let's do one that says "Shoot Down Air Force !" Maybe put a picture of a plane being shot down in flames. To satisfy the "liberal PC crowd" that might object, we can show the pilot ejecting safely. And if we ever play Army again, let's have one that says "Roadside bomb the Army !" Good times, no ? In before the lock.

Gmg Bowl Iv - Official Draft Bios
Texas Stranger replied to medpilot21's topic in Mean Green Football
- Wheels-off egomaniac who thinks it's all about him - Blind as a bat - Dearly loves the sound of his whistle - Early in career, worked many Pee-Wee games, which was excellent experience for the GMG Bowls. Except that the Pee Wee kids are more disciplined. - After working over 50 games as a Back Judge, (apparently) still doesn't know where the back of the end zone is. - Has jumped out of moving airplanes. It's hard to take life too seriously after doing that. - Knows all about Post-scrimmage Kick Enforcement (Do you ?) - Unlike GMG Bowl coaches and captains, knows what to do when the other team wins the toss and defers their option to the second half. (hint: receive) - If Jay-Dub drops trou again this year, will throw flag hard enough to make it "stick" - Saving up money to buy a new lawnmower. Not saying it has anything to do with the game, just putting that out there. -
From what I've seen, he can't play in Denton, either so it shouldn't make a bit of difference.

If he does come here, somebody PLEASE introduce him to Whataburger.

Although I do like me some Meatloaf, Don Henley blessed us all with 'Sunset Grill' in 1985, so that's undisputed greatness. But Meatloaf does have to get some credit for singing a song with the words "Hot Patootie" in it while dressed as a biker.

I noticed that, too. Apparently, we play 4 or 5 Superbowls a year. Next year we play Superbowls in Norman and Fayetteville. Remember when we won those Superbowls in Lubbock ? Good Times.
