Ah! Pollock, sweet fastback dude. Light metalic Blue, very nice. By the way, if I remember correctly Evan also has a classic Stang and I believe his is Orange? That's three of us here on the board, I wonder how many others? It would be cool to see how many alumni have classic autos. It would be cool to get a shot of a nice collection of them in front of the admin builiding by the Eagle statue. Rick

I voted for the Talons-Out Eagle as well. Something similar to the version above would be great but since we will have "Mean Green" in one endzone already it would have to be left off, which is no problem. I say since we gave the Daffy 10 years at the center of the field then the new T.O. Eagle deserves it's chance too. Rick

Well, fortunately for me and a wise $500 investment with my summer lawnmowing earnings back in 1981 I don't have to dream about a real car...I still own one. Here's a couple more shots of my 1966 Mustang. Click here. Click here It's hard to believe this member of the ORIGINAL PONY CAR has never been to Denton since I have owned it? Truth is I'm almost afraid to cruise it up because it would probably intentionally die on me out of spite since I spend all my play money supporting the Mean Green instead of all the many upgrades I have originally planned for it. Amazingly this car is 95% original stock, still has some great launch power and drives like a dream down the highway. But as I said before, I would like to upgrade many things such as build the 2V 289 into a K Code version like the GT 350 had in it, add front disc brakes, upgrade the original A/C to a lighter, aftermarket aluminum job and re-restore the interior(seats, carpet and headliner). Rick

This is huge for us. Of our 5 starters on O line, 4 of them have over 50 games under their belts while blocking the way for two separate national rushing champions the past two years. Rick

Meager will start, Warren will backup. That's my guess. Rick

Looks like it's past the 50 now, just to the left of my seats. And there still seems to be a bit of a crown, just not as much. Rick

I'm in for $50, plus I owe for my Joe Greene jersey. Rick

I think you would be interested to see the June Issue of Road and Track where they compare U.S. Muscle vs Europe and Japan muscle. Ford GT 40(Talk about bang for the buck $124K for the Ford vs $189K for the Farrari) vs Farrari F35?, Ford Mustang GT vs Nissan's 350Z, Chevy's C6 Vett vs Aston Martin. Very interesting numbers and very impressive for the U.S. Rick

The 2005 GoMeanGreen.com & Greenbackers Mean Green Kickoff BBQ is Saturday, August 20th. This is our chance to let our players and coaches know how much we appreciate their efforts. It will be approximately around 11:30 al.m. after that morning's scrimmage. The BBQ will take place at the Athletic Center, however the scrimmage may be in one of three places. Either at Fouts if the turf is complete, at the Denton High Complex or at the Athletic Center practice fields. We are planning on serving around 200 people for this. Please list again what you can bring below so that we can keep track of who is bringing what? We have the meat supplier lined up and the preparation for it. I'll also bring the pickles and onions etc... Stebo is bringing the meat warmers and now states he has the placticware(plates, forks etc and napkins) covered. Steve, VeryGreen had volunteered to bring this but I'll let them know it's taken care of and see if they can bring something else. I know y'all have posted this twice before. Hope and others(I apologize I cannot remember everyone who stepped up for this) have offered to bring desert. Please repost that here if you can. We still need: Baked Beans(P.M. on what kind your bringing as I have some ideas for this). Tea and Water(P.M on this also, I have a tea server I think we can use). Potato Salad(P.M. me on this as well) Any other deserts you can offer to bring. BBQ Sauce(KC Masterpiece is a favorite) Bread for sandwiches etc... Servers/General help to set up and cut brisket. I have recieved a lot of offers in this area but it will help us better if you sign up below so that we will know who is willing to do what I think that is all? Any other ideas please let us know and please post below what you want to do. Rick

I'll be there but I doubt DJ will be. I'm still trying to find a flight to Nashville because I know I'll be driving down for the LSU game. I hate the thought of having to drive to both. As for our effort in early games, if we play as good as we did in our second game of the season against Colorado and NOT fumble on the 3 yard line early, we kick the hell out of the MUTS. Rick

Pretty Cool. Rick

Showed some good clips of SPJMo running through Colorado. Rick

Recieved info from the supplier. The price breakdowns are as follows: 3x5 flags Order 1-3 cost = $20.00 each ..........4-10 cost = $18.75 ..........11-20 cost=$17.00 4x6 flags Order 1-3 cost = $25.00 ..........4-10 cost= $23.75 ......... 11-20 cost = $22.00 Let me know what y'all want to do. If I order them for you figure in $4 for S&H. Rick

Three of our hogs have been working for a friend of mine during their summer job. They have been working as movers and the company owns several large commercial moving trucks. Usually a team of three to four men travel in the moving truck, riding up front in the cab to and from the residences. But when these three particular guys show up together for a move job only one can fit in the cab with the driver while the others have to follow behind in their own car. Evidently the regular movers have stated that it's quite a sight to see them all try to cram into one vehicle. I can only imagine. Rick

Even though I'm glad that Voertman's took my advice 4 years ago and started to sell them, and now the bookstore has followed, that's still way too high. If enough people were to want one, say 10 to 20, I can probably still get them for less than $25. I think that is what we sold them for? I'm thinking about ordering myself a new 6x10 for the road so let me know. Rick

The kids can't vote or they would have done the right thing. Worst part is, hey suffer the most even though it's not their fault. Therefore as the original title to this thread still stands: This Sux, especially for the football team. Rick

OTHER! The only possible way the Mean Green Club raises it's membership to the point of raising a million bucks is due to one thing, WINNING!. And the only reason we have won in the past and will win in the future is because of our players and their coaches. With that said, not another dime should go to another project or to another individual in the AD dept until our ASSISTANT FOOTBALL COACHES get a very LONG OVERDUE RAISE. Rick

I don't see Bobby Davis or Lee Bridges listed as the head coaches down below but I could be mistaken? Not sure what "Chairmen" means either?

Kevin played with my brother at Granbury in the 80's. I suppose he will be the head coach of the North? Good coach and a good guy. I wish them luck this year. Rick

Report from ESPN Correction, Ullrich will finish third after today. Still, it's a finishing touch to have him on the podium tomorrow. Rick

Armstrong shatters the field to win today's 20 stage by 23 seconds over Ullrich during the individual time trial. He can now cruise into Paris tomorrow. It looks as if the German, Ullrich will finish in second place on the podium which will be fitting as he has been Armstrong's greatest adversary all these years. http://www.olntv.com/tdf/newsflashes/newsf...sflashes&e=9999 What an amazing story this has been these past 8 years. Rick

I can't find a flight cheaper than $317 from Dallas to Nashville. Anyone else having any better luck? We may be doing the ol' pack-a-rent-a-van trip again. Ideas? Rick

untgirl04, have you been away from Granbury that long? My brother's team made the playoffs in '89, finalizing it with a first time win over Cleburne by blocking a last second field goal attempt. I guess it just seems like it was 35 years ago when you have had Stephenville, Cleburne and Brownwood all in your district for 40 some odd years? By the way, that little league baseball tournament in Burleson I attended two nights ago was won by the team from Granbury tonight. They are a very well coached team, there are no weaknesses in their batting lineup. In that division(Bronco?) of the select league, they will represent this area in the World Series in Florida. Rick

According to the Texas Bible(DCTF) this WH team has 6 returning offensive starters and 9 defensive returning starters from a team that went 10-2 last year and lost a close one in the 2nd round. The defense has a DB named Webb(1st team All State defense for Class 3A in '04) that had 11 INT's last year. All 15 returning starters are three year starters. That's a hell of a team and a hell of a situation to be told, "you have no school to play for now?". Rick
