Just about every American generation has it's "signature" tragic event. For my grandparents, it was the stock market crash and the resulting depression. For my mother it was Dec 7th, 1941. For my generation it was the assassinations of the Kennedy's and Martin Luther King. The definition of "normal" has changed many times in American history.

.....and the answer IS?

....and the answer is?....anyone?

My wife was getting ready for work and listening to KRLD. She called out to me that KRLD was reporting that a plane had flown into one of the towers. Speculation was that it was a small plane. I then turned on NBC (the Today show) and they had live coverage from a helicopter that was about 1/2 mile from the towers. As I watched the coverage I could see a flying object enter the right side of the screen. It continued on and hit the second tower. I couldn't believe my eyes, and hollered to my wife "Oh my God! Another plane hit the other tower! I was just sick.

Coach Dickey is going to do things his way. Keep in mind that in spite of his easy going manner, and self-depregating humor, he has an ego. How large is anyone's guess. But it is large enough that (IMHO) he's never going to give the appearance of making decisions based on fan's demands....especially clueless North Texas fans. I speculate about his statements this way because he couldn't possibly think that his cautious statements about giving Woody "more playing time" is going to fool any competent coach.

Great tailgating pics! Sweet pics of the L-29. plus just he dropped 200 gallons of Jet-A in the l-29. How much flying time does that buy you? I have never hung my feet out of a flying airplane. Next thing we are flying along and tap a cloud and I can feel the moisture of the cloud on my feet, it was a first for me to drag my feet though a cloud at 4000 agl. That is fantastic!

"Good Gosh, college kids have been sneaking alcohol into stadiums for years! Isn't this why the hip flask was invented?" I remember talking with an alumnus who attended North Texas during the 50's. He said that part of his gameday experience was being in the student section and, shortly after North Texas scored, he could smell the distinct odor of burbon wafting through the crowd.

Okay, here's my alzheimers statement of the week (the first anyway). I thought you guys were already engaged! CONGRATULATIONS! BTW, she does know you're from Alvord doesn't she?

It's B Jamario's numbers reflect the committment of the SMU defense to take him away from us. It was VERY evident that that was their plan. They basically lined up and said "you're going to have to beat us with someone besides Jamario". Our coaches finally got the message and started using Woody and Johnny Quinn more in the game plan.

It was moved to the Orange Parking lot. The GMG smoker was parked by the fence that separates the "Village" from the Orange lot, and the tents were set up just east of it.

It's been mentioned several times in other threads that our D seems to be back. I noticed that as well. So....THANKS COACH BLIEL!

Other than the win, the best news I've heard.

My wife is not so knowledgable (X's and O's), but she knows a good product when she sees one. She also loves my passion for my passion. Only now, she sees more pain than passion, which is why she offers to beat me with barbed wire just to get it over with quickly. She's such a humanitarian.

I'd like to know as well. I'd also like to know if our back-up RB's have gotten over the little dings that kept them out of practice the last week before the Texas game.

Okay, I'm going to beat every smarta$$ on this board to the punch on this one. OH LOOK! IT'S SILVEREAGLE!....SOMETIME AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE SECOND QUARTER......

Here's my question. Were they both running the first team offense?

And PLEASE! FOR GOD'S SAKE don't make some grand announcement about it. If anyone with the athletic department is reading this, just announce it like you would any other statistic.

Uhhhh, that advise would apply to every ticket at Fouts.

I think it's Emmitt.

Well, it's asking a lot, but I'll try and come out of my shell.....just this once.

All I have to offer is a Section D ticket, but only if UNTLIFER doesn't need it.

Not unless you ordered them last week. Otherwise, they should have mailed them to you by now.

....and yet, they are in CUSA and virtuous & humble North Texas is not.........

Section D, Row 14, seats 29 & 30.
