Cr1028

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

I don't know how many of you signed up but I was looking at it today and we are in the top 20 as a group(fans vs. fans). I think that's great!

The moment you enroll as a fulltime student the clock starts, you cannot stop the clock whether you are in school or not.

I didn't realize it was so bad. All I've ever heard is the "American Dream" and how everyone wants to come here for a better life. I've never heard of someone wanting to leave the U.S. to go to one of the NHS countries for a better life.

Arkansas played Mizzou without a head coach. Iff Houston's Nutts was still there it may have been at least competitive. I challenge you all to look at the bowl teams who lost coaches before season's end and look at their records. This is the reason I'm cleaning up in Bowl pick 'em. Edit: Here is what I found: Bowl losers who've lost coaches: Arkansas-Nutt Georgia Tech-Gailey Texas A&M-Fran Houston-Briles Southern Miss-Bower Navy-Johnson UCLA-Dorrell

Wouldn't National Health Care be a disincentive to doctors? They would no longer have the desire to excel. Why should I strive to be the best heart surgeon in the nation when all the nation's heart surgeons are paid the same rates? Also, why would doctors who currently work for themselves want to now have an employer to answer to? These are just some thoughts that came into my head. They may be wrong as I don't have a great understanding of NHC, just some outside theories of my own.

Exactly. If he could not care less he wouldn't have given the effort to post.

Thanks.
