The Fake Lonnie Finch

Pizza.

I've come full circle on this - yes. Let's have SOW helmet stickers.

Sonic, yeah.

The prices are great. We'll renew. Anyone else with kids under 10 are welcome to join mine in running around the end zone bleacher seats during games.

They take a vote before the hearing. The justices already knew the verdict before the lawyers argued. Having the lawyers in allows people to feel like they are getting their day in court. Most of the justices' work is already done before the arguments. They vote again after the hearing, but rarely are votes changed.

OU really opened up the recruiting of black athletes in this region. It really chapped Darrell Royal as well. Screw Darrell Royal. If not for the ass-kickings OU/Barry Switzer started to give him with Texas guys like Greg Pruitt and Joe Washington, he'd have never recruited anyone other than white kids.

I love American Rules Football! Look at coach Mac, with his summer buzz cut and all! That's a coach!

http://www.wnba.com/shock/Kathy_mcconnellmiller__assistant_coach_tulsa_shock.html http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/blog/8/entry-54-kathy-mcconnell-miller/ Come on, Rick; she's just up the road in Tulsa as an assistant now in the WNBA. She took a historically crappy Tulsa women's program to a couple of WNITs. She took Colorado to the WNIT while fighting among Sherri Coale and Kim Mulkey and the rest of the strong women's Big 12 basketball field. Stopping clowning around and interview this woman. She's good. Here she is in her current job of coaching freakishly big professional women's basketball players in the WNBA: Here she is during Colorado's WNIT run: She comes from a basketball family, with a brother who has been a college head coach, brothers who are high school basketball coaches, and a sister who is the head basketball coach a Duquesne: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_4736696 Come one, Rick...I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'...two former Big 12 coaches - Dan McCarney in football Kathy McConnell-Miller in women's basketball, yo:

When we were looking to move, we looked into Allen. Didn't like the one giant high school concept for our kids. Fell in love with Lucas...but, my wife had friends banging on us to move to Frisco. So, here we are in BF Frisco.

She was nice to me and my kids at the Plano coaches caravan last year (when Jub was forced to announce my name as a winner of tickets and whatnot). I hope she stays, but let's be realistic: (1) Texas is bigger than us and has more money (2) Texas is bigger than us and has more money That being said, if Aston leaves, it's our chance to hire Kathy McConnell-Miller away from her WNBA gig.

By the way, that helmet site has "concept helmets" that they've designed. Here's their concept for us: Hmmm...totally objective third party considers us UNT despite more than a decade of having script or stylized "North Texas" on the helmets. Oh, well.

I'd go for something of this nature. I still like ...the longest tenured logo we ever had on a helmet at 11 seasons, 1983-93. Something in the Wing and Letters neighborhood that you propose was on the helmet for one season, 1972: The beloved worm had the second longest tenure of any UNT football helmet, 10 season, 1973 to 1982: I'd love the original worm back. It really was unique.

Agree. But, I think he also needed some seasoning. I think he had the tools to go the Gus Malzahn, Art Briles, and Todd Graham route. It just doesn't seem to me that any of those guys had any more or less on the ball than Dodge - and, Dodge seemed to have more. The thing that was a shame was that 2007 defense had eight or nine starters returning and they were wasted. Also, Daniel Meager wasn't Troy Aikman, but he wasn't so bad as to have to pull Vizza's redshirt. The QB position was misplayed. Too many things to re-discuss here. Happy for Todd Dodge, happy for us as well. With Texas State and UTSA moving up, I guess it isn't inconceivable that he perhaps takes a job at either of those places in the future. He's got roots in that region.

Yeah, this isn't great. As much as I like football, the focus here is wrong. Hard to believe adults would spend money on this kind of thing when there are other educational areas needing funding that would benefit the student body as a whole, not just those in athletics. Pretty sad.

It's this type of ad that makes me proud to be unregistered. There will be plenty of this in the days ahead from both parties...and, whichever third party whack job emerges.

No. A dictator.

Eight games. I say we win eight games this year. I base it on this report alone.

Thousands of years ago...same as today: Proverbs 6:6-8 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. Proverbs 10:4 Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. Proverbs 13:4 The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied. Proverbs 19:15 Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless man goes hungry. Proverbs 20:4 A sluggard does not plow in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing. Proverbs 24:30-34 30 I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment; 31 thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. 32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-- 34 and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.

Okay, but let's be fair - Bobino was trying to fight a girl. Okay...ambush a girl. He had no idea a guy was going to step in. Also, with the whole Zimmerman vs. Martin thing.... Although there are two sides to every story, this is America: Zimmerman has to understand that just being half-Mexican or Puerto Rican or Cuban or whatever isn't minority enough. He's not minority enough to not be racist.

Yes. But, you have to understand...people who throw money away on expensive cable plans, cigarettes, beer, etc. on a regular basis don't want to pay out of pocket for small, routine medical expenses. So, again, we're back to the lazy wanting the prepared and productive to subsidize their slothfulness. Everything you do in life involves a certain amount of risk. If you choose to use your money on things that are largely unnecessary and don't plan ahead with your health and health insurance, that shouldn't be my problem. Oh...and, I'm not a millionaire either, Rick. So, throw me into the category of non-millionaires who takes care of his own health expenses. The bottom line is, what kind of society will we have: One which rewards responsibility or one that rewards laziness?

Not everyone has cancer, heart surgery, or falls off a roof and becomes paralyzed. I think the motto is: "Get a job and take care of your own business like an adult." Yes. I would consider Canada socialist. Easily. Without question, Canada is socialist. And, when they can, their citizens come down here for medical care so they don't have to wait for their socialized medicine in Canada.

Agreed. I never understood this until I was in the position of having to hire and manage. Your hands are tied on what you can ask candidates. It makes for an uncomfortable interview process because you never really get to know the candidate. So, when you hire one whose personal life is constantly pulling them out of their job and screwing up your company, you have to walk on eggshells and document to the moon to be able to get rid of them. To me, At-Will is simply a give back: You can't totally qualify someone up front without threat of discrimination, so we give you a pass on the backside if the hire is screwed up.

You don't have to be a millionaire to be able to pay for your own health care. You just have to be willing to do it. Yes, it takes planning and budgeting and stuff that means you'll have to work and use your brain and be thrifty, but it is done by people who are not millionaires. Although, it is fully recognized that for people who aren't bright enough to pull it off, it's easy just to say "oh, only millionaires can do that." It's an acutely familiar give up line of the lazy and the politicians who strive to keep them lazy. There's nothing conservative about making one class of people subsidize another class of people. That's socialism and communism. And, that's what this bill is.

Except you skip the part that says we have subsidized them upfront by being forced to pay into the system. If I carry no insurance and can pay cash for my own medical treatment, why should I be forced by the government to buy into a plan...just to make it easier for someone else to buy insurance? No way. This bill, nor any other that will ever pass in the history of this country or any, will solve the problem of some people not working as hard as others, yet wanting what the harder workers have. There is an ingrained jealousy in the lazy and unproductive of those who work, create, produce. Nothing will ever be enough. No tax rate less than 100% will ever do. Insurance plans that gave more benefits to those who could pay more upset the lazy. Nothing will do except to drag by legislation the productive down to the level of the unproductive. And, that is what this bill does. If I can afford to pay without carrying insurance, too bad. If I can afford to buy a better health insurance policy than most, too bad. Because 20% of the American population finds an excuse to not buy insurance, the government will try to force me to buy into a one-size fits all deal, or they will have the IRS collect a "non-tax penalty" from me. As I said yesterday, supporters of the bill should simply admit that what they want is socialism. That's all this bill is.
