Oh I've been around. Had a lot going on this last year or so. Crowd last night was awesome guys. Thanks for coming out. Hopefully that emotion carries over to tonight and the MG get a great and much needed win.

Scott, Not a dumb question in the least. As Gabe mentioned the event is very family oriented so come one, come all. Thanks for the good words guy. We were very impressed with the turn out both times last year (one was freezing cold and there was still a great crowd). Weather/temp looks good for this week so we're looking forward to another great time. Any songs that you guys have seen from our list that you definitely want to hear let me know. Matt

The Pour House is always packed when we play there. Its one reason that we've never gotten tired of going there even after 5 years of gigs there. I've seen a ton of UNT people there over the years both when I was in school and once I graduated. That place is just a lot of fun. It gets kinda scary on stage sometimes because it's easy for drunks to get up there but most of all because of the floor. Since its on the second story you can feel the floor bending when there's a lot of people dancing a jumping around. I haven't spent much time at the Saucer, though I know of its popularity. Its one of those places on the list of "to check out".

Sure thing. Our website has a couple of samples that we recorded in our house when we were students and our myspace has some too. Not sure if they're the same songs on both sites. They both have a playlist on them. www.SpaceMonkeyBand.com and www.myspace.com/spacemonkeyband We haven't played in Denton except for the UNT gigs but we've been around for 8 years now. We've played most of the popular sports bars and night clubs with live bands in the DFW area like Sherlock's, Carson's, and The Pour House. I'd say our draw is playing music that people know and also throwing in a lot of songs that people know and don't hear every day.

Hey there fellow eagles. It's been a long time since I've been on here but I've been reading every once in a while when I could. This Friday is the pep rally before the LA Monroe game. A band called Space Monkey (relation) is the nights entertainment. We played a couple of pep rallies last season including the night before the SMU win. We do cover music - top 40, dance and rock, etc. Myself and another band member are NT grads. We're looking forward to it as both times we've played these events it has been an awesome time. Come help keep that spirit and tradition going. Free food, free stuff like t-shirts, the cheerleaders, and free music from Space Monkey. Hope to see both students and fellow alumni there supporting the team and some NT grads.

My fault, I missed that line in the career stats page. You're correct. I think its disingenuous (not to mention presumptive) to think of them as the same player except McGwire was "juiced up", but I can see where that thought is derived from. Fact is McGwire's numbers were still better than Kingman's before the alleged period of "hormone growth garbage". There is in fact a lot of debate that Kingman should be in the hall. If Kingman were in the hall, would you say McGwire should be too? And yes, I would say Bonds should be in the hall.

Way to keep your feet on the ground amidst all the new coach hysteria!

Kingman is hardly comparable to McGwire. He hit roughly 140 fewer homers in the same number of seasons. Kingman never hit more than 37 homers in a season and didn't even reach that high until 5 and 6 season into his career . McGwire hit 49 his rookie year. And he did that hitting 4th and 5th behind Jose Canseco the vast majority of the season. McGwire averaged 38.25 homers his first 4 years in the majors. He only dropped to a measly ( ) 22 when he had significant injuries in 1991. McGwire has the highest HR to AB ratio of all time. He's won at least one gold glove, maybe more I don't recall. He has a world series ring, several LCS titles, played in 12 all-star games, won the all-star home run derby in the mid 90's. Those who say he only admittedly did andro are 100% correct. Subsequent evaluations have been shown that Adro doesn't really do as much as people thought it did. It is much less potent than supplements like creatine, which I might add Sammy Sosa (during the famous home run chase season) and a large amount of MLB players have admitted to using for many years. People want to say he used roids with no proof of such useage. I'd say its likely, but most people also agree that a lrage amount of players use/used roids too. That essentially levels the playing field across MLB each season. Maybe it tarnishes past records, but if McGwire hits 70 home runs off of pitchers who are also using roids, then why is he worse than them? I'd bet you money that Bob Gibson and a lot of those old time pitchers probably weren't throwing fastballs in the high 80s, low 90's in the 8th inning. And yet, McGwire, even if all juiced up, wasn't htting homers that went miles beyond those hit by Mantle. He just did it more efficiently. You're going to say that the most prolific home run hitter in the history of baseball does not deserve to be enshrined in the hall of fame? I don't think you can keep him out because what he did in 1998 for baseball is probably the biggest thing that has been done for baseball in my lifetime thus far, and will quite possibly stay that way until I die. From a personal standpoint, he's one of the most humanitarian and giving stars that most professional sports have seen within the last 30 years. Name another major athlete who has started his own foundation with his own money to help abused children. Beyond all that, you really think that there's not a single player already in the hall of fame, who if I named them you would probably go to great lengths to defend their place in history, who didn't do drugs? I'm sure there's pot smokers, crack addicts, wife beaters, etc aplenty in Cooperstown.

Thus the face. I was curious why the original poster put Iowa State

Oh man.........I hope he doesn't take the Iowa State job.....

Tuesday 11:31 Washington, D.C., Hart Senate Office Building, room 216 *********Excerpt********* Senator Carl Levin: "Dr. Gates, do you consider yourself a candidate for the head coaching job at the University of North Texas?" Dr. Gates: "Senator I have no had contact with Rick V at this time, but when Osama Bin Laden is at large you never know where he might turn up. If coaching North Texas could help keep our nation safe then I'll gladly coach "

I wasn't digging this post until the jab at the end. Nonetheless, I think it's unlikely for a coordinator at a well regarded program to leave to be the coordinator at a struggling well regarded program. They'd be more likely to have visions of head coaching jobs dancing in their heads.

UPDATE: Things are the same since the last post. /UPDATE
