SMU had Don Meredith and Roger Staubach at the coin flip for their game against Navy. Since it is Veterans Day weekend perhaps another branch of the armed forces would be willing to salute another with a flyover.

How would you compare Justin Howerton to Justin Barnett? JB was redshirted and played a lot more his first two seasons, but I think Howerton if he continues to improve can be better.

I think Hillary will run a play right out of the Denton High School Playbook called the Time Warp. It is just a jump to the Left (to secure her base), Then a step to the Right (To prove she is no left wing radical), She will put her hands on her Hip (to show she is tough), Then bring her knees in tight (to prove she is no Bill), Then a pelvic thrust (to divert attention from her real agenda). Then she will do it all over again.

Did anyone else notice that Jean-Jacques Taylor of the DMN referred to CUSA as a "bad conference" today in his aricle on the front page of the sports section. I am sure that he has no love for the SBC, but I did find that statement interesting. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...or.396eed1.html

If they are making changes I would recommend that they move the Courtyard Couch to the floor by the student section. It would be a greater reward for the winners and would be more aesthetically pleasing.

Notice that he played 26 minutes against Tech and 17 minutes against Georgetown in the NCAA Tournament this year.

Was that the 1.5mill donation, or was there something else?

I played Golf at Tour 18 today and one of the employees noted my NT cap. He said they had some folks from NT play earlier in the day. He said that they were affiliated with the University and he asked when we would get a new staduim. He stated that one of the persons identified himself as the guy in charge of getting it built and that person said it would be ready in 2009. I asked if the guy was Rick Villareal and he said he didn't recall the guys name.

I don't believe he ever started or saw much playing time.

I saw it. It was one of the best stories done on UNT sports I have ever seen. I was going to try to link it from their website, but it appears that it is unavailable.

Channel 5 was also there and spoke with Dodge and also played film clips from practice.

They do own Mrs. Bairds bread and Vernon Baird is a UNT Alum. So there is a connection. Imagine "Welcome to Bimbo Stadium in Denton Texas." It has a unique ring to it.

According to a post on the Sun Belt message board the CBS Evening News will have a story on Rich Young and his military service.

MUTS beat a team that has already made the tournament (Belmont). They are a good basketball team, but if we play to our potential we will win. I hope that KD finds his shot tommorow night.

He looked physically like he belonged on the Jr. High B team. He is only a freshman and scored 16 points and grabbed two rebounds in the last two minutes right under the basket.

Everyone has different tastes. Siam at Carriage Square if you like Thai food. Green House on North Locust. Hannah's just south of the square. Three Finns just off of I35 and the Loop for seafood. Frilly's on Denison just north of University for Cajun. Chinatown Cafe on West University is popular for Chinese Buffet. Sweet Basil is also popular for Thai and is located at Denton Crossing. Burgundy's ($$$) for Steaks is just west of the square on Hickory. Bari's is near campus on Oak for Italian.

Did anyone else see this? I will try to link it if I can find it on the WFAA website. It was the 10 o'clock newscast.

He played at Ft Worth Christian until his Senior Year. The SMU poster said he had seen him recently and that he had grown bigger than he was in high school and also said he may be a diamond in the rough.

A post from the SMU board says Trevor Ashlock (starting safety from Southlake in 2005) decided not to play college ball and went to Arkansas. It says he has transferred to UNT and will walk on this spring. Anyone know anything about him?

Great press and a good story on a quality person. Talked about his service in Iraq before playing college ball.
