Thats where I get all my breaking sports news!

same boat here. firefox and a bunch o error 404's...

Interesting not, the guy has a masters degree in Professional Leadership from BYU. Not a bad piece of paper for a coach to have if you ask me. USF Bio

Assuming that the speculations are true I am very excited to have Coach Canales on the staff. However I am going to hold my optimism until it is official.

Why the hell haven't we even contacted the guy yet!?

I didn't realize that it had been a year already!

for as little actual content thats contained in a football broadcast I sure do love watching them....

laughed so hard I almost peed.

My brother was also a member of the 82nd! Best of luck to those guys and lets hope that they can help to ease some of the suffering that the people are experiencing over there.

Adman, for the first time I agree with Kieth Olbermann. Pat Robertson is in my opinion essential irrelevant to most of American society. It is shameful that Rush would politicize something as tragic as this without even taking a breath to let the weight of the situation sink in. What have we learned to expect from these talking heads though.... We have had the pundit conversation ad naseum (sp) around here and what I have determined is that they all suck but even amongst the worst of them this is very very low. Back to the topic at hand though... The country as a whole is standing up and lending a helping hand, I have heard reports of more than 30 million in donations from this country already! that is a truely staggering number and indicates the level of care and compassion that this nation as a whole has for the rest of the world.

Well said sir... Well said. It is very nice to see the world coming together for a common good, to see our country take a leadership role in this common good and the world stop, if only for a moment, just to focus on our friends in Haiti despite one nation's differences with another. Hopefully there will be a silver lining to this dark cloud but as of now, I am not able to figure out what that is. The displaced, injured and those that have lost family members down there are definitely in my prayers.

Lincoln Riley is making $190K last year, when our guy was making $90 K.... That might be just a little out of our price range. USA Today

Perhaps the quality OC that we bring in is given some sort of assurance that if Todge heads on down the road then he will be the first person seriously looked at as the next HC.

Maybe he saw the writing on the wall and figured that a secure HS gig for the nxt 5 or so years was better than an insecure position in Div1 college football that he did not know would be there in a year or not. Perhaps he left because he was jsut playing the odds.

As it relates to any personal debt resolution.... yes. Only the government doesn't seem to face any consequences for theirs, be they republican spending or democrat or both. At least as citizens we have to worry about foreclosure and bankruptcy etc if we let our personal spending get out of hand.

Best news I have heard in a while! Outside of the Cowboys starting to play football again.

Ditto... The republicans, if they wanted to be the "bigger man" would just say that they thought the remarks might be innappropriate and move on. Let the voters decide. If it is a big enough issue then use the language in the campaign if you have to but there is no way that Reid is getting pushed out of ofice until the voters do so. As for the Strom Thurmond / Trent Lott thing... probably just as overblown. The comments weren't as bad as some would have liked them to have been... I did meet Strom Thrumond in the Capital building in 99. I was a Senior in High School and in DC on a National Leadership Retreat. He shook my hand and the hands of the two girls that I was walking around the capital building with and then asked one of them if she wanted to "Sit on ole' Strommy's lap". I promptly bid fairwell to the Senator and the three of us left with me laughing hysterically as soon as we were out of earshot. More than 10 years later and that is still funny.

I ain't gettin on no plane!

Love listening to the Ticket, but I find that I no longer can listen to music radio, especially not new music radio. I travel so much that I have to listen to sports talk in the car, it is the only thing I can stomach. But they do pretty much suck everywhere else. boring and annoying

No snow, but my neighbor behind me in the alley slid on the ice in the alley leading to the street this morning. barely stopped before he tuck hit somebodys fence and took the whole thing down. That ice was not there yesterday...

Pretty freaking good, especially for a show they do once! I think that it is the stadium that makes the thing look bad.

Pretty much all of the above. Jazz, classical, Percussion! Voice, Pop, etc. Look around the famous bands in the country, the bands that open for Conan, Leno. Letterman etc many of those players are fron UNT. The rock bands / pop bands that hire musicians such as the Rascal Flatts etc. you will see these parts filled with UNT alums also. As for jazz, those players are easy enough to find too, as are the hundreds and thousands of NT alums that fill teaching roles at other university's, high schools, that take lead roles in symphonies and orchestras and opera houses throughout the world. Point being, we are a diverse school with many moving parts, all of which add to the tradition and grandeur that is U of NT. I am a proud grad of the School of Merchandising. and Hospitality Management and have nothing but respect for the rest of these other schools, we all should. We all have the same name on our diploma after all.

Have to agree with you... both with this one and your first post. MArching band, like every other style of music continues to evolve and change. Follow the DCI guys and you will see that the best at this style of music do not high step, they don't go for the pagentry / tradition model of marching band like Ohio and at UNT we shouldn't either. The band needs to be there to hype up the crowd, add that extra element of excitement to the game day experience and create some atmosphere in the stadium and the Green Brigade does that very well I would say. We have a proud tradition of being at the forefront of musical rends, styles, methods etc. The Green Brigade should be the same way. If we are going to cntinue to produce quality band instructors and other musicians then we need to equip them with the tools to compete for the best jobs at the best schools and that requires being a little more modern in their approach, IMO. In my high shcool drum line days we followed Paul Rennick and the NT drum line almost religiously. They are always the best and they are the trend setters. most of the High Schooler's in music, especially those who want to do it professionally seek out UNT. We shouldn't change that tradition either.

I think that I would laugh a little if JJ got money whipped into coming to tech

I walked my brother to his gate yesterday and watched his plane take off as he took off and headed back to the desert of Iraq.
