He quit being "poor" the minute he stepped on the UT campus....and put on his football uniform. Not only is he now "richer", but so is UT from the great publicity, about their great athlete.

I'd be more in favor of Women's Roller Derby team. I fell in love with a Roller Derby Queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o' woman that anybody ever seen Down in the arena She was five foot six and two fifteen A bleached-blonde mama with a streak of mean She knew how to knuckle and she knew how to scuffle and fight And the roller derby program said That she was built like a 'frigerator with a head Her fans call her "Tuffy" but all her buddies called her "Spike"* Talk about earning the nickname "Mean Green". *Roller Derby Queen, by Jim Croce

Don't we already have women's softball?

I've tasted several "lights" and, so far, I've not found a better one. I recently purchased some of their "Cherry Wheat" ale.....mmmmmmmm I don't know if they would allow you to bring your own beer. I tend to doubt that they will serve any. Someone needs to ask when they RSVP.

Yes, I'll take some. Thanks for asking. Samuel Adams light will do nicely.....

Losing 85 lbs since Feb. doesn't sound right to me either. And 6'2" isn't all that tall for a DE either. I'm with Zeke. I call BS on this story.....as it's printed here.

If you're going to sell them retail at a store, or even at a road-side stand, or on a web-site, then you definitely have to deal with (God help us) CLC. But making something for someone (or having it made) for just the cost of the materials is somewhat different. If licensing was an issue for everything, then DallasGreen would have had to run his NT/SMU t-shirts by CLC.

.....when the whining can really begin!........

The car magnet under the "tailgating supplies" is pretty cool.

My first choice would be the North Texas exes logo. Then "son of worm", and then finally North Texas. Who would eat anything that had "Mean Green" branded on it? Sounds like some sort of fatal gastro-intestinal condition.

.....and just how is that possible.........

Bump

Where is it located? My wife and I love to shop at the World Market. Their beer selection is great. However, they still don't have my favorite "Roswell Alien Amber Ale".

"heavy sigh" Yes, call me archaic, but I much prefer the company of HUMANS......well, most of the time. And when I have conversations, I much prefer that the person that I'm talking to doesn't preface/punctate every one of their sentences with the word "like".....or "Ya know?".

* Harry, this would seem to imply that you believe that we are primarily a commuter school. ** It's my belief/opinion that this was the only expansion that we needed to do in Dallas County. From time to time we talk about and/or mention our raw student population growth at North Texas, and the great potential that it represents. I find it interesting that our average attendance at games is bascally the same now (mid-15K) as it was during the late 70's and mid-80's, when our student population was under 20K.

No offense, but I'd much rather hear about your assessment of your trip to Alaska.

If you're going to falsify information, more than likely you'd do it to make yourself look good.

Well, sadly, that's probably how a lot of non-UNT people look at our recent bowl trips. We made it because of our SBC record. A conference which a lot of people regard as 1-AA........ or provisional D-1.

Do NT officials continue to think Denton County newcomers will buy into all this with the 4'th largest university in Texas of which its on-campus football stadium cannot even compare to what their kids have at their own Texas high school football stadiums with all those venue's modern ammenities? I don't know what the officials (the ones above RV) are thinking about our venue. But every time I drive up 156 to Lake Ray Roberts, I pass within clear view of one of those new Texas High School venues.....Northwest High School stadium. All I can do is just shake my head, and try not to think what most of the HS recruits in this area are thinking when they're taken on a recruitment visit to North Texas. Let's see, HS venues that are probably far superior to Fouts. Southlake Stadium Northwest Stadium Birdville Stadium Denton ISD stadium Burleson ISD stadium.

http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/colleges/15109574.htm Breaking even more suited for BCS teams By WENDELL BARNHOUSE Star-Telegram Staff Writer College football's rich should get richer. A fifth Bowl Championship Series game debuts this season designed to increase access to the five conferences whose champions are not guaranteed a BCS spot. But if no team from those five leagues qualifies, the at-large bid will go to a team from the six conferences whose champions are guaranteed BCS bowls and lucrative paydays. The 12-game schedule and 6-6 win-loss records to qualify for non-BCS bowls also should favor the six major conferences -- Big 12, Big Ten, Big East, Atlantic Coast, Southeastern and Pac-10. "Yes, those six conferences have a bigger edge now," Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson said. "It could hurt a team getting an at-large BCS bid because of schedule strength. But with the 12th game, I didn't think that the guaranteed conferences would play a bunch of games against the non-guaranteed leagues." The six conferences control a majority of the available bowl slots. And those leagues' middle-of-the-pack teams will have a better chance of qualifying for the postseason thanks to scheduling. Of the 65 teams in BCS conferences, 47 have scheduled a I-AA opponent. That means those teams only have to go 5-6 against I-A opponents -- and, conceivably, win only two conference games -- in order to reach the 6-6 record needed for bowl games. Most I-AA teams will play I-A opponents for a game guarantee between $200,000-$400,000. *With the six conferences controlling more than 80 percent of bowl revenue, there is money available to buy games against I-AA teams. "The guarantee conferences have always had an advantage because they've got more bowl agreements," WAC commissioner Karl Benson said. "That's a result of the marketplace, and I don't think that's going to change." On the other side of college football's scheduling issue, the five conferences without a BCS guarantee don't have as much revenue to spend on I-AA teams. Of the 50 teams in those five leagues, only 29 have scheduled a I-AA team. That means the 50 teams from the non-guarantee conferences face a bigger challenge in qualifying for a bowl. Also, a team from one of those conferences could finish with a 9-3 or 8-4 record but wind up not playing in a bowl while a 6-6 team from a guarantee conference receives a bowl bid. * And what was our price again? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Only on the hospitality deck. MGC members only.

To me, all this means is that we will go back to winning SBC games, and not worry about the OCC games. This is unacceptable to me.
