Y'all missed this topic in the Denton News forum: http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/topic/108119-most-valuable-houses-in-denton/ Mac just missed the cut...

Sounds like Mac v2 to me. Especially coming from ISU. No thank you.

I'm imagining replacing the image of Goldstein with Larry Coker, and then at the end, replace the INGSOC flag with the NT battle flag and the music replaced with "Glory to the Green". And maybe, replace the burning building with some "lowlights" of the game two years ago...

Perhaps this quote sums up being a Mean Green fan the best: "The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million: they were the worst, too. The third ten million I didn't enjoy at all. After that, I went into a bit of a decline. "

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgment of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? Yeah! There's nothing in the streets Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no! Yeah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss

A Point-of-View gun?

...learn to work the saxophone, I'll play just what I feel... Actually, the song fits too well: They've got a name for the winners in the world, I want a name when I lose They call Alabama the Crimson Tide, call me ... (Fill in the blank)

Outcast? No. But, the etymology of the word Pariah is interesting (courtesy of wikipedia): Drummer to announce the king's (Smatresk) notice? It won't be me!

I didn't see CBL's original, unedited post, so I can only reply to what is there now... This is a scenario I've been thinking could happen. I've seen it a few times during my career (in IT, but it really doesn't matter). As for the person's title, I'm thinking "Special Assistant to the President for Athletic Affairs" - something which doesn't imply permanence. I'm not arguing for or against this, just that it could happen.

Is it a 3 man committee? Or a 4 man committee?

Don't know if everyone knows who Fertitta is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilman_J._Fertitta The wiki article only mentions the Golden Nugget in passing, but he undoubtedly thinks of himself as a high-roller. He opened a Golden Nugget in Lake Charles in the last year. I think he wants to try to outdo, or at least match, another Houston bigwig, Drayton McLane, whose name is on Baylor's stadium. But he has a long way to go if that's his goal, as he doesn't have his name on UH's status - a credit union does. And, he never owned the Astros. So, good luck to him.

Agreed. The crowd was loud? Not even when the score was 0-0.

Of course it wasn't you - no, you wouldn't get the name of your school wrong! Actually, I thought it was funny for the guy to mistake Irvine for Irving, in a pathetic kind of way.

Thanks to all GMG members who posted comments to that editorial, including: Jim Plummer! Side note: University of California at Irving?

I thought for sure that the highlights would be "The Eric Keena Show".

Happy Birthday, Rick! If I had known on Saturday I would have said so then...

The main forum page says it's Green Grenade's birthday. I'll assume that's correct. Happy Birthday, Rick! Birthday 10/09/1937Is anyone in touch with him? I hope he's doing well. For those who don't know, Rick Spears designed the "Flying Worm" logo for Hayden Fry. Except, I don't think he much liked it being called a "Flying Worm". On GMG.com, he was originally Green Grenade http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/profile/14-green-grenade/ until 2003, then Green Grenade II after that http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/profile/660-green-grenade-ii/ Has it really been almost five years since he posted, and more than four since he was online??? Green Grenade II added a post in a topic Wow, Ugh, Dodge... 15 Nov 2009 Last visited 8 Jul 2011

I'll have one unused ticket. And if my friends bail, I'll have three unused tickets. I hope you have a place to stay, because the Horns and Sooners pretty much have every hotel room in the metroplex taken.

No, I don't remember that - maybe I got there after he left? But I seem to recall he was on the UT sideline during the game and was announced and shown on the jumbotron.

The Bruce Hall Lobby. Back in the day (79-81 for me) when the lobby & cafeteria were the only places air conditioned in Bruce, everyone spent all their time in the lobby, day and night. Constant games of Risk, lots of pickup jazz combos playing, Dominos and Chanellos pizzas delivered, and... impromptu stand-up comedy by Dave Zalud (I'll be surprised if anyone other than @Danish43 knows who he is).

Yes - the Friday night event at the Doubletree is when DD made his notorious speech telling Bataille "When you look at the scoreboard at the end of the game, just remember how much money we're getting"

Not on DISH in Houston. :(

If you belong to a secret society... which sometimes it seems like we do.
