  1. UTSA brings nothing in terms of improving the perception of any conference, I don't care how nice a trip it is.
  2. Would we even WANT to go to some ridiculous 22-team conference? I think at the end of the day, this "merger" or "alliance" or whatever it's called will fall through.
  3. And earnings from stocks are already taxed at the corporate level. As a shareholder (owner), I pay income taxes (anywhere from 15% up to 38%) on corporate profits as long as I hold those positions. And then I am taxed again (15%) on my realized gains when I sell. So even though on paper I am paying a 15% tax rate, in reality I am paying anywhere from 30% to 53% on my profits. This doesn't even take into account corporations who pay state income taxes. Talking points rarely align with reality.
  4. Rather than drone on about the difference between investment income and salary income, deductions, the 51% of Americans who pay no taxes at all, Warren Buffet having a personal agenda regarding tax policy, etc... http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2011/sep/21/does-secretary-pay-higher-taxes-millionaire/ In short, Buffet is full of crap.
  5. Besides, if we didn't have the super wealthy, Robin Leach- who was a controversial but frequently mentioned fan consideration for head coach at North Texas, would have to Transfer his day job.
  6. I don't transfere follow this explanation. Paterno was a god in Happy Valley. He could have demanded almost anything and his job would have been fine,
  7. Why is the board making the word "etransferies" look like "etransferies"?? Seriously, I've tried to correct it three times... very weird.
  8. Well, what he doesn't tell people is that 99.99% of his income is dividends and capital gains on long-term etransferies INVESTMENTS which is taxed at 15%. Wanna raise that? Then you raise taxes on seniors' 401K and pension earnings. But if Buffet really feels he is not paying enough, he can send a check to the Treasury Department.
  9. I highly doubt "very conservative" women (or men) would vote for Obama over Newt Gingrich. Moderates, maybe. But not conservatives. And I believe the hindsight of history has shown us that many of our presidents, even the great ones, have possessed deep flaws along with admirable qualities.
  10. I loved it when the band turned to play AT the Denver fans sitting in the next section.
  11. If true, that's it. We're stuck in the Sun Belt.
  12. She also claims she was discriminated due to a disability of the knee that prevents her from "lifting, sleeping, breathing, walking, standing, sitting for long periods of time."
  13. Gotta love the knee-jerk over-reaction in the comments section.
  14. There's also no way to know that he didn't audition for "So You Think You Can Dance?"
  15. Maybe the city of Denton can convince OU fans to stay in that hotel... and maybe, just maybe, check out the local college football game played that evening?
  16. #9 nationally in yds allowed/game last year. #8 in points allowed/game
  17. Given our tailgate atmosphere this season, are we really that worried about space?
  18. A hotel and convention center would no doubt require parking lots.
  19. Building codes change. Scoreboards get obese . *shrug* Just repeating what Rick V said.
