I have no earthly idea if the Big East will expand or not. If they do, then ECU is a likely candidate. If that happens, then based on their past behavior and attitude toward us, C-USA would pick Troy or one of the Florida-who schools before inviting us. If that happens, then I would like to see Texas State move into the SBC.

That's when they don't show up.

Please let any of us know if you need any help with anything. Many of us (myself included) live in the metroplex, and would be glad to help out. Your child is in good hands at Cooks, and you are in our thoughts.

That has been the case for some time now. We never know who is going to show up....either physically and/or mentally.

Nine out of ten of us that post here on gmg would conduct ourselves EXACTLY THE SAME WAY that Mark Cuban act if we became owners of our own professional sports franchises. I tend to agree with this. I don't particularly like Basketball, but I like the energy and zeal that Mark Cuban brings to the Mavs. You can call him a whiner all you want (you'd have to call me one too, because at Football games, I yell at the refs even more than I do at the coaches ), but the Mav's are playing somewhere (the NBA finals) that no one in Dallas ever dreamed they'd play. And his decision to make Avery Johnson his head coach is turning into pure genius.

The part of the service road that curves around the NW corner of the library is a remnant of the track. They just paved over it. When I was in High School, we attended a spring UIL band contest at North Texas. I think it was either the spring of 65 or 66. During a break, we stood out on the back porch of the old Lab School and watched the spring Greek Olympics. The track was fully intact then, as were the west stands.

The NCAA rule is tightly tailored. All this tells me is that you admire their legal work. I'm interested in knowing if you think that the NCAA has any business trying to dictate (or establish) political correctness or not. Fabus style pandering. You mean Steve Fabus? If so, I just have one question. Do they have bath houses at ND State? Or perhaps you're talking about the former Governor of Arkansas.

Is this your way of saying that you don't show up to lose? What a concept.

I was in a Wal-Mart in North Fort Worth (White Settlement) and noticed a display of college hats. They had the "usual suspects" but they also had a hat very similar to this one. http://store.fansonly.com/marketplace/stor...roduct_id=61473 Except that the color scheme was maroon/stone instead of stone/maroon. It didn't say "Texas State" anywhere on it, but it was a CLC licensed product, and it said "Bobcats" on the back. It was a very nice unstructured all-cotton hat. It was very reasonably priced. Imagine that! A 1-AA University that is selling their hats, hundreds of miles away from their main campus, through a large volume retailer. Can I assume from this experience that I can find a similar North Texas hat (unstructured all-cotton) at least at a Denton Wal-Mart?

Isn't that interesting. This hat has a CLC tag on it, which implies that the UNT athletic department (and the North Texas Exes) approved of the design. Two years ago, Greenstock (actually Pro-Line) came up with a much better design, and had tentative approval from the Exes to produce it, but the athletic dept stepped in and derailed the process. I wonder who in hell approved of this monstrosity.

Well, I know that I have several size 8's. I'm not sure about the rest. I'll have to dig the box out and look.

Wouldn't a bird of prey analogy (silently waiting to swoop down on their prey) be a bit more appropriate.

Actually, I have quite a few green "script" hats.

....OR! it could be that I take to heart those words from our fight song "VICTORY'S IN STORE WHAT 'ER THE SCORE OUR TEAM WILL EVER FIGHT,... "FIGHT, FIGHT FIGHT" .....actually, in my case, it's more like ANNOY....."ANNOY, ANNOY, ANNOY"

You didn't include a "renew" button.

Yes.

Med, what I was suggesting was that maybe someone else might want to join in the fun this year. Two years ago, I had an "incident" with a young (and obnoxious) Texas fan who insisted on standing on top of the bleachers right in front of me. It's time for someone else to 'step-up".

Michael Wallis, who has written many books, but most notably about Route 66 is the voice of "Sheriff".

Thanks. My son's girlfriend (a TCU graduate) wants to attend the game with us. The last time she attended a North Texas game, FFR was escorted out of the stands by security. And shortly after that (and after my son had moved her over by me so that she might be safer) I got "visited" in the stands by one of the North Texas coaches. What could we possibly do to top that?

OHMYGOD! It's a Bill Brasky highjack.

Yeah, that's my wife's attitude. Every time I make plans to go to a NT/UT game she just asks if it wouldn't be easier (and faster) if she just beat me with some barbed wire.

There is a much better design available. FFR has the graphics.

That's a lot of stuff to see in a player considering that he sat out most of the spring practice. Are you just trying to yank someone's chain?

Then we need to make Johnny Quinn our QB........

I found my renewal package yesterday and put it in the mail. When can we purchase tickets to the Texas game?
