The Fake Lonnie Finch

Actually, since only a dozen or so athletic department broke even last year, I'd say this isn't a case of pure capitalism. I'd like to see how many raided school funds )gleaned from tuitions, donations, and tax-payer funded grants) to stay afloat.

I would venture to guess that Texas and Oklahoma transcend local squabbles of coverage and are classified more on a national scale. I'd wager and bet that you'll find coverage of the Longhorns and Sooners on and off the field exploits from here to the Abilene Reporter News and beyond. Call me crazy, but we don't yet have the cache built up that can touch the vast number of awards and championships (and, for Texas, asterisk championships and awards) that those two have and, therefore, will have to win and win and win and win and win and win and win for years and years and years and years and year and years and years before our neighbors in the town of the cow give our proper dues and respects.

Plan your work, work your plan...and hire college assistants. That's the take away from that there article.

What good is happening in Denton football-wise? Two words: Coach Mike "Chico" Canales.

You say potatoe, I say potahtoe...you call it greed, I call it government bailed-out capitalism.

It's amazing what a little education from little ol' North Texas will do for a man of conviction.

Dear Dr. Stupid- Charles Sims is ineligible this year and, thus, won't play a down for the Cougars in 2010. But, what the heck...the ruling came down on June 1, so maybe you forgot. Information is hard to find these days in the 21st Century. Anyway, revise your list and put Bryce Beall back in the Top Three and you have a list. Love, The Fake Lonnie Finch (who brings real facts to the table, mister!) P.S. - This is a good example of why internet journalism is what it is. I wonder who this author's all-time favorite pop singer is, Milli or Vanilli?

It doesn't matter to me who they stand at tight end and U-back as long as they bloody use them for a change!

I think he was using a metaphor...and likely without a prescription to boot!

They are just as likely to cover the Texas Christian(Disciples of Christ) University Horned Frogs as they are us. And, who can blame them? When you go to the store to buy their product, it says right there on the can "Fort Worth Star Telelgram" which would lead many to believe that the main focus of their so-called news coverage is the Fort Worth part of Texas and all things lying within said boundaries of such.

Both the quietness and introspection will lull opposing defenses into a false sense of security thinking that we're still going to have a quarterback who turns the ball over at critical times during the game. But, Nathan will give them the football equivalent of the the shocker all the way to the end zone, possession after possession, quarter after quarter, half after half, game after game, and season after season.

I figured it would come down to Tune or Thompson once Canales was on board to become the savior of the program and all around Santa Clause-type figure we've been waiting for since Corky Nelson was...well, since Corky Nelson. Either way, it'll nice to see either one of them hoisting that trophy-shaped Sun Belt Conference objet d'art and then have it on the sideline for all University of North Texas Mean Green Eagle fans to gawk at during our dismantling of the Kansas State University Wildcats who were formerly known as the Aggies until 1915 or 1920 depending on whose story you believe more but who still have an area near the stadium called Aggieville not Wildcatville because in reality the school is in the middle of a great land mass of farm territory that yankees fly over and take for granted when they are passing unweildy and unnecessary social program legislation meant to buy votes in their crappy big cities back in the northeast at the expense of everyone out here in the real world who works for a living and doesn't depend on the government for a paycheck or welfare check or any other type or check other than a tax refund check which is really nothing more than our money to begin with but they stole it from us legally so that they can metaphorically speaking bend us over and give it to us in places we don't want it so I'm all for Nathan Tune being the quarterback until one of the other quarterback from one of the other 119 FBS college teams transfers in and beats him out for the job which isn't likely since he's a senior this year and will just be sitting back and laughing at them next year anyway while he's up in Oakland competing with Jason Campbell for the Raiders starting quarterback position.

Bad idea jeans.

Replace the 1921 Centre College/Harvard affair with the 1994: Rice 19, Texas 17 and we'll call it a good list. *Also replace the other 1920's game with our 1988 win over Texas that the referees stole back for them. Spotty bastards!

Hey, it's all ball bearings these days!

Drugs are bad, m'kay?

My only question now is whether or not the people who plan the game atmosphere will do the right thing and play The Who's "Getting In Tune" Nathan takes the field. Have them call Mark Cuban. He's the master of game atmosphere overkill.

Well, it's been said for many years that we needed a new stadium and our own corporate jet for recruiting and whatnot. Now that the stadium part of the equation is out of the way....

Wrongo, my good green man...you mean 9 or 10, depending on if the Kansas State Wildcats can escape with their pelts on a drizzly Thanksgiving weekend afternoon in late November as the infamous winds of North Texas blow through their farm-tanned hides. Miami.

Why?

Are they selling parts of the stadium and various pieces of equipment and memorabilia on-line yet? I'd like to see that day and become one of the active purchasers using my U.S. cash dollars as quickly as I can before Obama turns our whole economy over to China, Mexico, Burkina Faso, Europe and the nether regions of Uranus.

The logo is gay/not gay and I oppose no matter what color they taint it with.

Rickey Bustle? Has anyone in the Belt wasted more opportunities than Rickey Bustle? Chico Canales is going to open some eyes. And, for the likes of Rickey Bustle, Chico Canales' offense may spell career change. Because once we run though, over, and around ULa-La, the Rajun Cajun faithful are going to be looking for new leadership. You can stick Arkansas State in that category, too, while we're on the subject, kids. Wow. 1800 posts. That ought to just about do it.

This is, in no small part, due to Larry Coker's ties. Who you hire counts in so many ways. In so many way. In so many. Ways. In so. Many. Ways. In. So. Many. Ways.

Have Rudy Schenker endorse the Flying V section. He'll be in town with the Scorpions Wednesday. Has anyone at the athletic department called him yet?
