Thanks Steve, but I found out that IMDB.com is a paid-for service, not free. Since I'm already employed I'll skip it. There's not that many jobs out there for washed out Armadillo mascots anymore. But as poor as Scrappy has been performing at the basketball games this winter so far I could certainly think of a class or two I could offer to him........for free. I'm sick already of having to go and get him to come over and walk by my kiddo, who's only reason for riding in a truck for the hour and 10 minute commute to Denton is to give him a hug. Pitiful. Rick

You suppose correctly. Rick

Me as Rowdy the Armadillo Cast and crew of Necessary Roughness. Fouts Field, Spring of 1991. I scanned a closeup of me from the group photo. Not sure that would be best? I also have some stills that the wardrobe folks took of me during a scene where I'm simply standing in place, but with the head off. Either way, how do I send this photo to the website. Any suggestions NT Drummer? Rick

Great idea ADLER all around. Rick

With Troy's move to go with an explosive offense I expect we will continue to see them sign high ranking QB's and recievers. Rick

It's not getting anymore out of hand than what you have going on in Austin and Columbus Ohio at the college ranks where win at any cost is the norm, yet thousands continue to be proud of it. As it has in baseball, it mostly makes for sorry competition and it will continue to do so until someone finds a way to cap it. Rick

This would have been a nice road trip to go on to see the ladies play. Rick

What in hell happened tonight? Hard to believe I was listening about the same team I saw play Thursday night? Rick

No problem. Yeah, the guy I referred to was selling them out of the back of his car, 1,000's of them. It was genius, like when Bozworth sold the "I hate the Boz" T shirts in Denver. No one knew he was doing it himself. I suppose it's possible the same individual in Norman could have been tU connnected, but it's highly doubtfull. He was moving from corner to corner and left quickly after he sold out and none of the hats were stitched with any licensing marks. Since it was at a game against NT I am guessing is why he felt brave enough to do it? Who knows. Rick

Were you drunk when you wrote this? Instead of a knee jerk reaction to this as you would have to me, I'll simply ask you what gives you any idea to think that the leading cash cow for CLC like tU would give an outside, private manufacturer who is NON CLC licensed, permission to pirate and sell a derogatory product with their protected logo on it out of the back of his car? Explain yourself and then I'll answer to the rest of your meaningless questions. Rick

Awwwww, does the upside down horn sign upset you that much? LOL!!!!!!!!!! That's FUNNY, don't care who you are. I only wished I was the guy up in Norman who came up with the hats several years ago. He probably retired off of it. At least we know what side of the fence those in the photo sit on and we know tU didn't go out and buy a national championship for them. How's the song go, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything"? Next, I don't think the red tent belonged to E but someone else who was a big enough Mean Green fan to donate it for the cause. Finally, thanks again to those who bleed green and stand for what you believe in... the only team that matters, The Mean Green! Rick

Sounds like a match made in heaven then to me. He could be D coordinator and make a perfect set of book ends with the OC. Rick

We NEED some serious speed/size/bad-assnes at Defensive Tackle. Otherwise the only area Brent's speed is going to help us is at kick off returns......................all game long. Rick

I played for Coach Mills in high school and I hated his guts....Because he was hard on me and my teammates. And I loved him for it afterwards. That's just football and part of young people learning disciplne. I talked to Coach Mills at the Hall of Fame breakfast on homecoming this past year. I'd take him back at NT in a heartbeat. He looked as if he could go right now. He was part of some of our more exciting years and we owe a debt of gratitude to the man for all of the hard work he put in for us. Rick

Emmit, MedPilot and crew had the grill going when the F5 and I pulled up this evening to get things going. Good burgers E. And an even better game against the Cajuns. It looks to me that Michael Southall isn't full speed from his layoff last year but my friend George reminded me he would take a loafer with 10 blocks and 19 points anyday. True. Overall good game. 1-0 in conference. This team showed some maturity towards the end to hold on. They still have a ways to go but now they are on a decent run. You never know but this team could respond in such a positive way to do something really great? We'll see. It was also a pleasure to get to visit with one of our past hardwood warriors Wendell Williams. He came here from New Iberia LA in 1996 and never left after helping Deion Hunter and Tony Worrel take us to our only trip to the big dance back in '88. He's coaching at Denton High and also helps Hunter teach during his basketball camps. Good trip north tonight. Rick

Rick

No, but considering the Startlegram reported in 2000 that tU's endowement at $6.8 Billion was second only to Harvard' $8 Billion so it doesn't surprise me. Rick

Glad this Texan made your imaginations come true. Rick

Here in Texas us non-sheep college football fans are used to seeing Texas receivers and running backs clearly fumble and lose a ball only to have it given right back to them. I agree though, the review process failed miserably tonight on both sides. Rick

Like I said, one of the best bowl seasons in recent memory. Wrong team wins tonight but regardless great game. If I were a horn fan I would say that was money well spent..........finally after all these years. And I suspect we won't hear any more bitching about bad calls coming from the Belt refs, right? Rick

Bingo! texas University in Austin does not in any form or fashion represent this 6th generation Texan. I hope they lose, and lose big, and in defeat again, I hope Young shows his @ss like he did up in New York last month. Rick

Ken, it wouldn't matter if it was the YWCA playing tU, I'd be rooting for them to send Mack and Vince home crying on each others shoulders. Rick

This bowl season is turning out to be one of the more entertaining bowl seasons in recent memory to me. Toledo routing UTEP, Nevada/UCF ending in overtime, Memphis/Akron going down to the wire with DeAngelo Williams rushing for over 230 yards, Rutgers taking Arizona State down to the wire in their first bowl game in many years, Boise State getting down by 24 in the first half and coming back to within 3 before losing in the Human Bowl, the Alamo bowl with that crazy ending in a close win for Nebraska over Michigan, Tech losing on a last second, carreer-long, golf-slice that after only reaching maybe 15 feet high, inches into the corner of the goal post from 46 yards out in the cotton bowl, LSU beating the hell out of Miami(FL) 40-3, West Virginia running all over Georgia in the Sugar, TCU beating a big 12 team in Iowa State in the Houston bowl. Then tonights triple overtime win for Penn State over Florida State. Two amazing defenses, but due justice all the same for Florida State for even being in this game with 3 loses and a 22nd ranking, to lose again in the Orange bowl with all the missed field goals. Now if only Southern California can do it one more time? Rick

http://www.lids.com/pid/20047434 They have it in white too. Kind of wild, but interesting. Rick

Does that whatnot part include the "whisper promotion" for the post-season conference basketball tourney we hosted last spring, or the day before promotions for the mail-outs for year end football games, or that email I got the day before the Houston basketball game last month just to name a few?
