...try and keep up, Rick.

One has a choice to go to College. One has a choice where they go to College. This isn't a "Taxation without Representation" issue. Students (and Alumni) with degrees from this insitution get a bigger bang for their buck in terms of the visablity of that degree when we have a strong Athletic Program. Nobody put a gun to ANYONE's head go to UNT. Sorry. ...and most on this board DO ante up and contribute probably the vast majority of what gets contributed (with the exception of the big money doners) so screaming at this group to do more isn't really very constructive.

As it should be.

Word, Cotton!

My vote for "Most Wise Post in this Thread."

ABSOLUTELY. I think the BCS sucks donkeyballs, but Congress has WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more important stuff to be working on.

...least I admit it. You've been...

Agreed. Rivals never has info I don't get here first. I don't pay much attention to them anymore...

Now THAT is funny. ...anyone else wanna see the bandwidth spike on this thread?

THAT's a GOOD IDEA... ...here's one...

Made it to the 15 minute mark. I'm shocked. ...happy to put a smile on your face.

Let's examine why you got the hate and vitriol you recieved in the last thread... Undisclosed staff member. Undisclosed player. Then why post it until you could, for darn sure, make sure that your source and facts were right? If it is a FACT and you would stake your reputation on it... it isn't speculation. The board hates speculation. If you have a fact, it isn't speculation. Fact > Speculation. ...see a pattern? Why? Why even post this? Why not put out there what you know. Then when it was released by big media, your creibiltiy goes up. The way this was done just seemed whiny to most. You had good information, I'll give you credit for it (and so will the rest of the board), but don't expect a line around the block of people seeking to kiss your ass. Post facts that include real information, or just keep your mouth shut.

You, sir... are an ATTENTION WHORE. This thread will be locked in 3... 2... 1....

Agreed. Pure brilliance in one post.

YES!!! EXACTLY! Congress should be doing the PEOPLE's business, not regulating a stupid game that has ZERO impact on the quality of life of the people of this country. Players jacking themselves up in baseball is NOT an issue the federal government should be wasting their time on. Hold on, let me read the Constitution real quick... ...after a very close examination of Article I, I couldn't, for the life of me find any of the following words - Baseball. Steriods. Sports. Drugs. Trainer. Human Growth Hormone. ...one would have to conclude since the Legislative branch's powers are enumerated (quite well, might I add) in this Article that Congress really doesn't have any business in the middle of this. Let me be clear. The Congress should be working on making this country safter, enacting policy to protect and strenghen our economy and working to fix the various social programs in trouble. Congress has enough trouble with it's own ethics - there is a saying about he who lives in a glass house? I'm sorry, Rick. I just don't care about this issue, and I don't think the federal government has the money nor the time to be telling baseball players what they can and can't inject into their bodies. If baseball wants to regulate itself, they can make rules. If the players union doesn't want to protect it's players and refuses drug testing as any part of contratcs, and the players are OK with this, who the hell does congress think it is to tell them otherwise? How is this an issue that congress should be involved in? We have a DEA already, right?

Don't confuse the issue with things like... Facts.

Ok... this is going to be the LONGEST offseason ever. We're arguing about how we calculate friggin' enrollment figures. It has to stop.

...and what do we burn apart from witches? MOOOOOOOORE WITCHEEEES!!!

This could well be the funniest thing I've read on this board in a LONG time. I can't stop laughing... ...and back to the original point of this thread...

Mavs went from really bad, to good but unable to get past the choke, and now are mediocre at best. Kidd was here when we were really bad.... ...I'm trying to see the benefit here...

Aren't we fighting a war? Isn't social security bankrupt? Isn't the border still wide open? Aren't our social programs out of control? Isn't spending run-amuck? Isn't the Economly sagging? Aren't we having massive problems getting the energy resources this country needs? ...then why, for the love of GOD, is congress screwing around REGULATING A #&$@ING GAME?!?!?! It's a bloody game. NOTHING MORE. NO, LISTEN! IT IS A GAME! You hit a ball with a stick, then run in a circle. Can someone PLEASE help me understand how this congress (who has an approval rating 15 points lower than this President who is about a the lowest point I can remember ANY President being in) finds the friggin' time to deal with this issue. How does this affect the American people?!?!?! ...please don't tell me that Clemmens demanded the hearing. CONGRESS CAN'T TELL SOMEONE WHO PLAYS A GAME FOR A LIVING TO STICK IT?!?!?!?! Please don't talk to me about the children. As a parent, this is simple. "Son, you see this guy. He's an idiot. Don't be like him" SIMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't there some random highschool dodgeball tournament going on that ESPN could be covering instead?!?!? Christ on a crutch!!! ...rant off.

If we can get the real thing, I'm in for 2 this year...

Think we can get jerseys that look like the real thing this year?
