Seems like I remember TCU inquiring into, or negotiating with Texas Weslayan Law School. Anyone remember why the talks fell through?

I hope this has not been posted before. Two articles on graduation rates in football and basketball in USA Today, acknowledges that the media(TV)showcase the BCS, putting the pressure on those programs to succeed on the field or court. Graduation, or lack thereof.

An 80 year old man went to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in. The doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?" The old timer said, "I'm a golfer and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out golfing up and down the fairways. "The doctor said, "Well, I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your dad when he died?" The old timer said, "Who said my dad's dead?" The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your dad's still alive? How old is he?" The old timer said, "He's 100 yrs old and, in fact, he golfed with me this morning, and that's why he's still alive...he's a golfer." The doctor said, "Well, that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it. How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died? The old timer said, "Who said my grandpa's dead?" The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! How old is he?" The old timer said, "He's 118 yrs old." The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "I guess he went golfing with you this morning too?" The old timer said, "No... Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he got married." The Doctor said in amazement, "Got married!! Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?" The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?"

Some of us older Greenbackers were at UNT when the "NT marching band" didn't even have flags. I'm not opposed to using various flag colors.

Going through my morning mail, what do I find? A complete 16-page, full color mini-catalog from Land's End on nothing but Texas Aggie stuff. Hats, sweatshirts, jackets, you name it. What that high profile name recognition can do for a Univerisity. Land's End for crying out loud!

Being a Viet Nam Veteran ('70-'71), I will probably see this movie too. I view VN war movies to see how close they are to the real thing. So far, one of the best is Platoon. If you want to get an idea of what it was like being a Grunt(Infantry Foot Soldier) in Viet Nam, I highly recommend Platoon. Very, very realistic.

Someone(Plumm) needs to email Newsweeks "letters to the Editor" and mention that old Phil is a UNT Alum.

...Or am I wrong? If he is, he's on the cover of Newsweek Magazine. Here's the link. Dr. Phil I scanned the article and there's no mention of North Texas.

So why doesn't the state of Texas appropriate funds to UNT so that 4 or 5 more dorms can be built?

Very, very nice. 100% improvment over the old site.

Student Recreation Center construction link. http://129.120.124.7/view/view.shtml Would that be a newly paved road(old Ave D) in front of the SRC? It was just dirt a few weeks ago.

This a very good Scrappy. I like it.

Well, when the fans find out that Calipari just got a committment from Kendrick Perkins they will change their tune

I may be showing my ignorance on this subject, but I was under the impression that MD's spent a couple of years long in medical school/internship than a DO?

Top Texas basketball recruit Kendrick Perkins of Beaumont Ozen HS has committed orally to Memphis University.

"Knight made a recruiting visit to Ozen(H.S.) last week, but it wasn't to visit Kendrick Perkins. He is said to be interested in 6-7 forward Keena Young."

A really nice story on former Lady Eagle BB player Jalie Mitchell. http://www.dentonrc.com/sports/college/sto...l.33e4b234.html

Check out the progress being made on the Student Rec Center. http://129.120.124.7/view/view.shtml

emmitt01, some of those older posters out there may have a hard time reading the small font you are using. Try a 10 or 12 pt for. Those "older" guys would appreciate it.
