Soccer guy calling out hockey players toughness - that's awesome. Most of the fights are not a grab and shove match - that is just a roughing or a scrum that nothing comes out of. to get the 5 minute fighting major, you've got to earn it. Hokey even has misconducts and suspensions for repeat offenders who cross any lines. There's even a diving penalty that has been actually fairly well used for the league after it got to be an embarrassment with the Colorado and Detroit teams of earlier this decade. Also, all 5 hockey players are going full speed for their shifts and all have a hand in what happens at both ends. You can go a few minutes depending on the flow of the match on the soccer pitch. I think hockey players are the best overall conditioned (imagine if soccer players sprinted every second on the pitch and could rotate in waves of 3 and 2) and I will give you that soccer is second of the major team sports in the same category. To even compare hockey fighting to soccer is just...well, typical you. As always, you truly are the evil genius of the entire board.

I'm about 90% sure you're wrong - although it would explain why Sheldon is part alien in certain photos.

It's been like a decade and that clip never gets old.

Exhibit D is on the VVIP board as we speak.

I heard rumblings from news folk who had to cover it that someone screwed up and accidentally sounded the alarms after we were all clear in Dallas last night. I'm sure it's in a paper today, but I've been too lazy to look it up.

I'll go

Or watch the Stars game at 7:30 pm on FSN -- or use the DVR and catch both. You can make it a Northern and Southern border appreciation night - and we know how much you guys all appreciate foreigners!

You could improve your quality of life 100% with a sharp reduction in your Randy Galloway intake.

I'm all about breakin' necks and cashin' checks. POW!

Do they have towers there? Perhaps with ways to help tell time? /pulls collar nervously

How many Texas Douches do you think that school has?

We've got uniforms, numbers, helmets, chinstraps and even extra jocks too!

Retro - think anyone will get it? Why do I even ask such questions?

and yet Todd Dodge can't get a fair shake anywhere on the board...

But does Gretchy Poo like the sexy ladies around our men folk?

Yeah, but a lot of those kids where here when Dickey was still coaching. They probably just couldn't hack it when things changed around them.

Alright kids - you guys obviously know how promotions, PR, marketing and advertising works. As a board full of successful businessmen innovating the business world and mastering free market economies, you wizards know that selling North Texas is not just some half-ass job some douche with a $40k salary can do. No - you know how to interact with the students, alumni base and even the locals just looking for an entertaining time. So, here is the ultimate place for your wizardry - how do you sell North Texas next year? Crazy hat day? Hawaiian shirt Fridays? Free tickets? Hot dogs? Beer? Gitmo-themed dunking tank? The possibilities are endless - so have it at it guys. I'm going to compile this entire thread and send it on to some AD folks later today, so please try your best!

It was really hard to think up and analyze this stuff because it is so complex and hard to figure out. I can't imagine what it would be like to actually get out there with those big scary men and try to matriculate the ball down field. Whew!

Figures - the leap was just too much for folks.

I love those billboards - I saw five people pull over and contact the university on 635 the other day. That or there was a wreck. I can never tell.

I really can't stress enough that this was a joke.

Seriously - did they hire anyone good lately?
