Would love to see SMALL battle flags. ALL the one's I've found are the full size 5x3 flags, of which I have 3, but I need a couple of smaller battle flags for the boat.

Damon was our suitemate at Kerr Hall his freshman year. He was a good guy and always had a smile for anyone. I was saddened to hear of his downfall, and am equally heartened to hear, in his own words, his return from the depths of despair. There is always a way back. Be it through God or a belief in yourself. Proud of you, Damon!

Well done!

IS it to our detriment to have the OC/Offensive Manager, whatever you want to call him of the National Champs as our HC? How could that do ANYTHING but help recruiting? I'd love to see him go all the way and then announce the next day he's coming to Denton.

This. We need a new AD and make this whole debate moot.

No question that the time has come for change. And after tonight, I think there's very little doubt that it needs to be wholesale change. The team was certainly better this evening, but now is not the time to look within the program for answers. It is fundamentally broken, and it needs to be repaired from the top down I will always appreciate the positives that RV has brought during his tenure. We would be foolish, however, not to acknowledge his apparent limitations in moving this program to the next step.

I oppose the seizure of private property from corporations or citizens for government use. Period. I'm very black and white on eminent domain. Sorry, even if it is something we agree with. I love the person talking about "free market" and using it as a reason to allow the GOVERNMENT to seize private property. Greatness.

Damn. Y'all turn on a guy quick. So, he had one good season on Dodge's players?! Did you really just say that?

Again. What do you want them to do?

At some point you have to focus marketing to those who respond.

No. That's why they send out daily emails to thousands of people. You tell me. What should they be doing? I get mail, I get email. I mean, if you didn't care when you were here, what can the AD do to make you care now?
-
Why do they need to? I'm here. ...and I'm calling bullshit. I an email once a day from the MGC or athletic department. At least. What do they need to do? Personal invitation?

The Future is Electric
yyz28 replied to SilverEagle's topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
I'm a BIG TIME gear head, and I'm not at all afraid of the hybrid thing... BUT there are some things that have to be understood - 1. The environmental impact of building the batteries on a Prius is greater than the environmental impact of the fuel burned in a V8 Camaro or Mustang, much less a more fuel efficient vehicle like a Malibu or Accord through around 200,000 miles. Currently, our battery technology isn't where it needs to be and the manufacturing process is quite dirty. 2. Hybrids and Electrics ARE more difficult and expensive to repair. Any shop that would charge $500 to change the water pump off the front of a Ford 4.6 (like was on the afore-mentioned Grand Marquis) is called a dealership, and anyone who has a dealership work on their cars after the warranty is out needs to be educated on the car game. No, a Ford dealership (known in the industry as a "stealership") is not necessarily the best place to have your Ford serviced. 3. The driveline components on today's gasoline cars are FAR LESS prone to failure than in years past, AND are far more reliable than the early technology that is today's electric and hybrid cars. 4. Electricity is not free. Shifting en mass the demand we currently put on burning fossil fuels for personal transportation onto the power grid will require more than simply putting some charging stands in. plus, you may have to consider supply vs. demand. As the demand on power goes up, so does the cost on that supply, and Washington is making it harder, not easier, to ensure we have the electricity we need to keep up with future demand. Some of today's most exotic super cars are hybrids, and use the hybrid mode for power, better performance and in cruising mode, greater efficiency. Frankly, I disagree at the core that Electric is the Future. Hydrogen IS the real future.... Electric may be a step in between, but it isn't where this will all go. -

Might as well be for the past few years. -
“I believe in natural gas as a clean, cheap alternative to fossil fuels,” she said at one point. Natural gas “is cheap, abundant and clean compared to fossil fuels,” she said at another. This is what Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday about Natural Gas, which IS a fossil fuel. Shall we lampoon her, call her an idiot, or simply accept that it was a mistake and move on? Using one sentence soundbites to discredit someone makes NOBODY smarter, or more educated on a subject. I plead, again, with the folks engaged in this thread to stop trying to discredit the opposition, and rather listen to what they have to say and argue the MATERIAL, instead of try and destroy the person delivering it. ..the point being, we don't elect politicians because they are scientific geniuses, but because we agree with their philosophies overall, and feel they will evaluate what is presented them and come to conclusions similar to what we come up with.
