  1. MEAN GREEN! Actually, I'll probably have one or two Shiners at most, and I certainly won't be driving.
  2. I hate to bring up the Rice fiasco of 2008, but we travelled pretty well for that game - and that was only a week after Hurricane Ike. Between those living in Houston who didn't go because they were still cleaning up, and those who didn't make the trip from DFW because of Ike, it could have been even better. I'm in Sugar Land - I can't wait for us to play UH down here!
  3. Eddie Lacy Martin Lawrence as Shenene
  4. David Blalock Flat Top from Necessary Roughness
  5. Mark Barron Flat Top from Dick Tracy
  6. And I already have my DVR set!
  7. Aren't we supposed to have a road game at Tech this year?
  8. Another reason to go to the ULL game - there's a big Cajun festival going on in Lafayette that weekend. It's in Girard Park, adjacent to ULL, and it's free! Festivals Acadiens et Créoles Lots of music - Beausoleil and Wayne Toups perform on Sunday. Thanks to the ad in the AAA magazine for letting me know about this!
  9. That's similar to the bridges over the Southwest Freeway in the Montrose area of Houston: Graustark Bridge over US-59 Although there are no vehicles in the picture, these bridges aren't just for pedestrians.
  10. Maybe add MEAN GREEN, and just do it once, then wait a minute (or a couple of minutes) before doing it again? NORTH...............TEXAS MEAN................GREEN And maybe the cheerleaders could alternate which side of the stadium starts.
  11. I'm old enough to remember Benny's (jazz club named for Benny Goodman), before The Library.
  12. The Tomato opened in the early '80s, actually as "The Flying Tomato", a franchisee of a chain. The chain didn't survive, but the Denton location did. There were two things that made it successful: - The location, and the unique loft 2nd level, made it a great student hangout. Just before it was the Tomato, the building was a Rock & Roll club named Crossroads, and I didn't know anyone who actually went there. It was completely brick, with no windows. The Tomato renovation was incredible, and immediately drew in a crowd. - The Tomato was the only place in Texas to get a Giordano's-style (Chicago) stuffed pizza. NOT deep dish - stuffed. Especially a spinach & mushroom stuffed pizza. A High School friend of mine went to Northwestern (Evanston IL, just north of Chicago), and I had experienced Giordano's when visiting him in 1980. While the Tomato undoubtedly wasn't nearly as good, there was no other place to get a stuffed pizza. I went back at least once every football season until it burned down, even though the service really was awful at the end. So the question is, is there enough demand in Sanger for stuffed pizza for the Tomato to be successful there? Because there's no way that they'll draw the students to Sanger.
  13. Weren't Mazatlan and Guadalajara owned by the same person(s)? I haven't been east of TWU on 380 since I moved from Denton, so when I saw that Guadalajara was gone (Ft. Worth Dr.), I assumed that Mazatlan was gone as well.
  14. Hmmm... You didn't mention Lee Jackson. Oversight? I think not.
  15. #47 Michael Cal Topo Gigio
  16. #32 Justin Halley Neil Patrick Harris
  17. Harry & Evan - will either of you be able to attend the press conference?
  18. #93 Andrew Mattox Chumlee from Pawn Stars
  19. i like e. e. cummings but you are no e. e. cummings
  20. I tried to look up "funk and waggle" in my Funk and Wagnalls, but couldn't find it.
  21. They might be more impressed knowing the truck is for the NT Dancers.
  22. Wow, I just checked a few minutes ago, and still saw Fouts. So once again my company's proxy server still had an older page cached. Thanks, AAUNT! Are those KingDL1's photos on World Stadiums? I know the one above isn't - it was a much clearer day when King flew.
  23. The more important question might be: Fresh or Stale?
  24. Seconded! I usually time my trip home on the Sunday after a game so I can have dinner at Sam's. Great BBQ, CFS, and of course, pie!
