  4. Last few years: Trophy Club, TX. about 20 miles, stop at the store at 407 and 35W, Justin exit, for tailgate refreshments. Now: Houston, TX. about 310 miles, probably stop at the in-laws outside of Waco.

  6. And one of the nicest men you could ever want to meet. I grew up with his grandchildren and to this day remember Coach Mitchell riding around the old golf course in his gas cart with the fringe around the roof.
  7. DRC Article Men's Basketball: UNT's Hopkins headed to Las Vegas for summer league 08:14 AM CDT on Tuesday, June 28, 2005 By Brett Vito / Staff Writer Leonard Hopkins will take the next step toward what he hopes will be a career in professional basketball this month — even though he is all but assured of being passed over in the NBA Draft today. DRC file photo Former North Texas guard Leonard Hopkins is hoping to find a home in professional basketball, either in the United States or overseas. The former North Texas standout is working with a personal trainer in preparation for the Global Hoops Summit, a league in Las Vegas that features college players who are not selected in the draft, NBA free agents and foreign players looking to catch on with teams in the United States. “I have not had many NBA teams contact me about tryouts,” Hopkins said. “The Las Vegas league will be my chance to showcase my skills and make some noise.” Representatives of the NBA, CBA and foreign teams are all expected to scout the event, which runs from July 16-21. Hopkins secured his place in the camp with a solid career at UNT that saw him finish as the school’s eighth all-time leading scorer with 1,340 points. The 6-3 shooting guard was named second-team All-Sun Belt Conference in both his junior and senior seasons. Hopkins battled though a series of injuries before his final two seasons at UNT, which left open the possibility of the NCAA granting him an additional year of eligibility. The school dropped an appeal for an extra season after Hopkins decided he needed to move on. Hopkins’ brother, Bryan, a starting guard at SMU, also considered declaring for the NBA Draft before deciding to play an additional college season. Despite receiving little interest from NBA teams, Hopkins is still happy with his decision to give up his appeal for an additional year of eligibility at UNT. “I still feel good about it,” Hopkins said. “I never regret any decisions I make.” UNT coach Johnny Jones is confident Hopkins has the skills to play professionally. “When Leonard puts his mind to something, he is successful,” Jones said earlier this year. “There is definitely a spot out there for him in pro ball.” That place could be in the CBA or ABA, a pair of lower-level professional basketball leagues where several former UNT players have landed roster spots. Chris Davis was the leading scorer for the Texas Tycoons in the ABA last season, while Shawnson Johnson was among the league’s leaders in rebounds. Hopkins could join Davis and Johnson in the ABA or travel overseas to play for a foreign team. The NBA Draft probably won’t have an impact on where Hopkins ends up, but he plans on watching as several other college and high school players are selected. Some of those players will be guaranteed millions in their first contracts. That likely won’t be the case for Hopkins, who will follow a different path to a life in professional basketball. “It would be a blessing if my name is called,” Hopkins said. “But I know that no matter what, it will work out in the end.”
  8. I don't recall this being posted. CFN.com's
  9. San Jose State fans questioning other school's financial stability? What next, Slick Willy questioning people's fidelity?
  10. I was very critical at first, but this looks nice.
  11. From the linked article above:
  12. I've seen many, Lance White, Byron Gross, Cody Spencer, Burks Washington, although I was pretty young, but I personally have always liked the way Brad Kassell and Chris Hurd played the game. Both were smart on the field and rarely out of position, had more hustle and heart than pure skill and never gave up. Just good football players.
  13. Best and Why?
  14. I think I might have confidence, but I'm not sure.
  15. ebay
  16. I'm sure the spies have already read this.
  17. Before picking Nebraska. Rivals.com Then again, I have faith that Byerly or Meagher will step up and surprise us all.
  18. Looking at the list of players on the watch list, I noticed that there are nine players listed from non-BcS schools. Two of the nine are from NT. Pretty good recognition two outstanding young men have brought to our school. Louisville is now BcS, correct?
  19. Well, it does have the worm's talons.
  20. Anybody, besides me, find it funny that a professor from Alabama made this statement? Alabama should have been given the death penalty a couple of years ago for their infractions.
  21. I guess that also means that the Green Brigade forgot how to play our fight song! Wow, and because they have #5 under center, then our QB battle is over. I don't know why DD frets over these decisions when all he has to do is wait for EA Sports NCAA Football game to hit the shelves. And another thing, that new turf is sweet, but why did they keep the old logos in the endzone?
  22. Very underrated post!!! I thought Cuban was paying him not to play.
