What I don't understand is that you can still buy as many tickets as you want in section A, B, or C without a donation or you can complain about paying extra to sit in the "premium" seats.

Why not just move over to section C with the po' folks, like me?

Do you guys use chairbacks? If so, are they worth it? This will be my first season on the alumni side. On the student side you simply do not sit down unless it is halftime or someone is injured. I wanted to know if the rowdies are up all the time or if there is a good deal of sitting to warrant the extra $30 per seat.

I always thought he needed to put on a little more weight to be an effective defensive tackle. Just my opinion.

Well, if there is a bright spot at all, we had a GREAT student crowd tonight and we hit 7 3-pointers so those who stayed got the Wendy's burger coupon. It's sad I know but I try to look for the good in everything.

From 8/23/07 We bought out of the Miami game to receive more money from Loser State. What do you think the buyout would be for them? 700K? Also, Tulsa may still have some bowl payout money leftover seeing that they just finished the biggest blowout in bowl history.

I don't think we can afford to buy out of our contract with LSU this late in the game.

Not total support, I bought 4 season tix and have my exes membership.

I love my University and will give it all I can. I have a problem with helping someone's numbers who I cannot stand. "MGC donations are up X number of dollars since I arrived" type of thing. What about 4 conference championships, 4 bowl games, and what about hiring a popular coach that has brought in the best recruiting classes in decades? If I have an issue with a salesperson or company, I will not buy from them, the problem here is that she has a monopoly on MGC donations. I will wait in the hopes that she leaves for "better opportunities". P.S. I know I'm stubborn and hard-headed but that is just the way it is. I refuse to give to any cause being run by someone who has called me a nobody.

Mac: But our shenanigans are cheeky and fun. Thorny: Yeah, his shenanigans are cruel and tragic. Foster: Which wouldn't make them shenanigans, at all, really. Mac: (Irish voice) Evil shenanigans!

Burnt bridges need to be replaced. I'll wait until their is new leadership. Until then, I will continue to purchase season tickets and maintain my exes membership.

I think it is $5 per ticket because I paid $20 total in fees for my 4 tix. These are my first set of season tickets though. Go Mean Green. I'll be sitting somewhere in section C. Come say hi!

I lived in Houston until I was was 13. I was a DIEHARD Oiler fan until Bud "insert expletive here" Adams moved the team to Tennessee. I moved to Dallas at 13 and became a converted Cowboy fan. I can't root for the Titans and the Texans just aren't the Oilers to me. I was a Rockets fan with Clyde and Hakeem but once I moved to Dallas I quit watching basketball until a few years ago when the Mavs peaked my interest. The Astros are still my baseball team. I'd go watch a Ranger game now and then but Bags and Biggio were my boys. I've only been to one hockey game so I guess you'd have to say the Stars are my team in that respect too.

What a great time to be a sports fan in Dallas. First the Mavs and now this garbage. We are becoming quite the choke artists.

You won't get that kind of mileage in any truck, compact or full-size.

You can't truly "tailgate" without a truck.

I'll have to disagree with you on this one. The majority of the reasoning for the notion that UT has a higher quality education is that they have higher enrollment standards. More students want to go there(partly due to name recognition<see football>) so they get a higher quality student. If we are going strictly on the quality of education basis, I would argue that UNT would give a higher quality undergraduate education than UT mainly because of the smaller classes and access to professors. At UNT, you are taught by PhD professors who have experience in research in their respective fields. At UT, you are taught by graduate students who are primarliy concerned with their own education and will view yours as secondary. At UNT, you are taught by a professor in the form of lecture. At UT, you are taught by reading a textbook. I will not go out and say that UNT has better graduate programs than UT. I will say that UNT has at least as good, if not better. undergraduate programs as UT. If UNT receives more name recognition due to athletic success, higher quality students will enroll and every one of our degrees will become more valuable. Also, here is the abstract from an article in the Dec. 2006 issue of Social Science Quarterly:

It's called growing up. He apologized, that is as far as he can take it now. You'll just have to be satisfied with that.

Ahem. Maybe this will rub off on some others they will work around.

Wow, Awesome! It sure feels good to see that Vizza run again. After that touchdown, my buddy and I ran down to Vizza's family and thanked them for their son and his coming to UNT! What a feeling and what a rush!

dang it! I did yahoo and espn, I didn't even realize this topic was here. Crap.

I was wondering that same thing all day today. I could only imagine the headbutting that would go on with a difference of opinion. Could it be a Buddy Ryan/Kevin Gilbride relationship in the making?

This thread leads me to believe that it wasn't MacDuff's fault at UT
