  1. Speaking of choking, UAB better open white, bc it's whining time, baby! When legends like James Dean Smith and Kenny Gant pass away, theirs only won way to honor them - just explicate and play your game the best you can! I think where about to see what happens when you corner a tiger - the clause come out and start shreddering like Himato Yoshi in a Gap Band covers band. Look out, Dragons; it's are turnt to finish the job and show you what a light to greatness is all aboard! Us - 73 Them - 62
  2. I would definitely consider the free trial if it's a one-off build. If you can demonstrate the value, they know it might pay off down the road (and if you wait until the end of a month or quarter, the commission based rep will start working with you on budget.) Since your beat is so specific, you should be able to get what you need backwards - I would start with education, lifestyle, assignment desks and then any reporter you see who has done something either on you guys or any similar group.
  3. You've been on a strong uptick lately - this is like the 4th or 5th +1 I've sent your way in the last week or so. What is happening?
  4. You know he's talking about a man's wedding ring, right? You can get one from a good wholesaler for less than $250; and if you're a dude adding a bunch of designs, diamonds or want to keep a softer, fancier metal on your hands, you deserve to pay more and be unable to sell it later.
  5. If you have any kind of budget, there are services that range from high end tools like Cision's media database to others like Vocus and Cision. Most will give you a free trial if you contact them with interest for a week or so - just be willing to sit through some demo meetings and be prepared to be a regular follow up contact (which is fine and manageable.) You can also figure out your main outlets (TV Stations. DMN, FWST, FW Business Press, DBJ, dailies and relevant blogs) and work backwards. This can involve reviewing relevant coverage, assignment pages, adding general contacts/news desks/tip lines oreven the old school calling of the main station number, introducing yourself to an editorial assistant and asking who the best contact is. Hopefully that's enough to get started, but if you have questions or need anything else more specific, feel free to post or PM me. Good luck and congrats on the new job!
  6. In season hasn't been that fun, either.
  7. There's still time...anyone from ages 8 to 80 can make a good sock puppet account I hear. (Also, very well executed post.)
  8. Game threads now have about a page per conference win. That's cool.
  9. Now that we got out scheduled lose out of the weigh, Penny Marshall is going down in flames like Jack from Lost. The Blundering Colin Cowheards will half to parden the interrogation once we get done running our fowl conserving Mano y Mano D!
  10. No point in doing a preview bc Andrew said we were going to lose this one if we beat Rice. Should have just cancelled the game
  11. To Kill a Mockingbird Cage...the movie Robin William's estate is currently fighting over, also featuring Nathan Lane as Fatticus Finch. (Also, kind of messed up we are potentially only getting this because her sister died and she is too senile to control her affairs. Hope that's not actually the case, but the timing raises an eyebrow.)
  12. Wasn't disagreeing with you - just hoping the question gets asked.
  13. It's just a press release, so maybe a reporter or two will call the AD for comment as well versus running with what's been handed to them?
  14. Optimist could say: We opened poorly, tried to play through it, made the adjustments and then outclassed them for a half plus a minute or so. Pessimist could say: A flat, unmotivated start, a glaring lack of response to an obvious problem that should have been addressed sooner, followed by having so much more talent that once it was pointed in the right direction, the outcome was inevitable. I'll just say GMG.
  15. Great defensive half after they went man (plus Rice didn't seem to have a plan B.)
  16. Well, now we know what happens when a team gets a third half to adjust.
  17. Oh the Fun That We Have here on GMG...
  18. Don't rush to judgement. He may have just shot a pointer sister.
  19. I was piggybacking off the 22 wins as a Mavs coach thing. In reality, he's won more games than 3 Mavs coaches did in their whole careers though and in way fewer games!
  20. Tune in next week when Ben Gooding reviews Provo, followed by a quick jaunt to Laramie!
  21. MGS fact of the game - at 22-60, Benford has passed both Gar Heard and Quinn Buckner and sits only 6 games back of Jim Cleamons for the 7th most wins in Mavs history.
  22. Did someone say spunk!? Ahhhhhhhh yeeeahhhh, the boys are mack tonite and ready to make Uncle Ben's there bizzatch. The last loss was tuff, but they where cheetahing anyway. I fooly expat a big Victor and a final push to the top, baby. Green means go!
  23. http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/12/chain-reaction-subways-new-big-hot-pastrami-melt-review.html Lay down.
  24. Wow - I've never met someone who's ordered pastrami from subway before. Can I (MS)Paint you?
  25. Frisco has 11 Subway locations. Denton has 13.
