No problem...send them a different number. They'll dance while we run over their asses.

That about sums it up. Very well deserved, D.J.!

This just in... SMU wants to be a remote campus site, and will provide qualified adjunct faculty... This was proposed after a wealthy donor offered to pick up the tab for the convenience of Highland Park students who have an aversion to commuting.

Sadly, we're still fighting the battle for recognition and respect. Even though we made it to the championship game, "at the end of the day" we got our asses handed to us twice by FAU and then by Troy. It is going to take a couple more nine or ten win seasons before CBS and their ilk come around, IMHO.

Hey, I think this is serious. They will probably have joint programs with well-known schools. There is some talk of offering a minor in theology... they may have athletics... and they might approach us about sharing the Mean Green nickname. Their fight song will be really exceptional!

Now that you 'splained it JW, I see that the benefit could really outweigh the cost. This first season will be a bumpy ride.

I wonder if there is any surveillance in the bar area. I would hope some video exists that might clarify some of the allegations. Just a thought, I have no clue as to the answer and what systems exist in that bar.

After reading how it is supposed to work a couple of times...I still don't think I "get" it. Is any team in the league subject to more or fewer home games? The tail-end of the season looks like it could be a logistical nightmare for our travel planning, etc. Kinda made me feel like this...

Wow! I totally overlooked that aspect. If the new design will only last one year, it cuts back on potential gameday "looks" because I don't think all of the options you cite are just "slipcovers". It may depend to some extent on exactly what material the exterior is made from and what could be done with it without surface damage. JMO.

That was my first thought when I read Rick's reply above. If they only last a season, that could get real expensive in a hurry. Agree with Rick that shoes are expendable items; helmets tend to be big bucks. Rick seems to insinuate (and it's hard for me to disagree) that you can't put a price on player safety and long term health.

I think it was my sophomore year of high school in Indiana when I was first issued a hard plastic helmet. That would be circa 1960-1961. Those early plastic helmets were awful. In the years prior to that, we had really snazzy leather helmets in school colors with a design that looked like a Notre Dame knockoff. To be fair, we were less than 10 miles from their campus. Those leather helmets were the best shock absorbers and most comfortable, by far. Those VICIS helmets described in the video look interesting but I'm not sold. They look a little TOO soft and the material looks like it would tear up over a relatively short time. JMO

Count me in the group that thinks that is a good price. Here's my uneducated, WAG: Field Turf wanted the job, and their earlier generation product was already in place; their existing installation was not ancient; they knew they had to do minimal site prep for the new surface; and so, they could sharpen their pencil when they submitted their proposal. JMO.

Thanks Rick! Folks, go to that URL and read the whole story...worth your time.

I'm sure The Wren knows, but I noticed that this study was performed by Joyce Julius and Associates in case he wants to entertain such a study. The previous administration would most assuredly have approached Orange Julius.

Agree with everything you said. I don't think I articulated my opinion correctly. What I felt was that "bouncing from pillar to post" and not forming a sense of community and allegiance to one's alma mater might result from repeated semesters of his experience. We are all different but speaking for myself, I might have been at risk of developing a case of the "giveashits".

Wrestling with getting a baseball program going just got more painful.

This is massive incompetence by the DISD. Then, there is the sicko who managed to pull this off. How many more situations like this must be out there waiting to be exposed?

And then they wonder why it is so hard to get all those alumni to engage after graduation. I would think that prolonged experiences like cited above would tend to give one a bad case of the "giveashits".

Long, long overdue. A great way to recognize this man...but I still want to see the statue!

More likely, the ones that would pull such a stunt are a little more philosophical and snobby; they would do something like this...

Time flies! It seems like yesterday when I filmed you at a tailgate party behind Fouts. You look a little unsteady, are you sure you were legal then? No doubt you can handle it now. Have a great day.

Here's the perfect shirt for you! Best wishes on your birthday!

To clarify, that means to go there and show up like THIS ... NOT like THIS...
