A reasonable person debates the merits of the death penalty...a reasonable person debates the merits of the half back dive on 3rd and 8...a reasonable person debates the merits of supply side economic theory. Bigots seek justification 52 years of violent oppression and racial segregation or for hundreds of years of human trafficing. I mean...UNTFlyer is as free market as they come but I doubt even he would support the economic value of owning individuals. And...me too. Again it is your inherent bigotry that won't allow you to believe that anybody but a white christian is capable of running a nation. You argue that unemployment and poverty were the result of Mandela...not the CIVIL WAR that had just taken place. America wasn't exactly the best place to look for a job from 1866 right up until around the turn of the century. I'll be nice here and say that these "indelible" images simply pushed from your mind any concept of geography since the Hutu's and Tutsi were warring "tribes" (arbitrarilly segragated by the Belgians and Dutch) in Central Africa, most notable Burhundi and Rwanda (ask Don Cheadle). I mean...I could've said that to you all Africans must look the same...but I'll play nice Again...nobody was questioning your facts. Most freshmen in high school know the Ganges is a sacred river (no figures to support that...and I'm not saying where these mythical high schools are).. Its your mockery of this belief and of the people who practice it that again make you a bigot: "people still go down to the Gangee's River to drop dead in it thinking it will propel them into the next life of reincarnation......hopefully to come back as a cow, bird or something better than what they were." Personally...the idea that a virgin can pop out a kid...and that one day this kid, who is long since dead, will one day come back to Earth and all those who believe in the omniscience of this dude will suddenly vanish and I'll be left here to endure bugs and sanguin water...well...that sounds pretty fucking nuts to me...however I don't belittle the 1-2 BILLION people who believe this. Odd...very similar philosophy. Been covered by the others Again...very similar. Perhaps you have more in common with those you spew your hatred and bigotry towards than you first thought. You know...we don't agree on much...

Since the storm front has already been covered: and my favorite Thanks for playing...the dry cleaners closes in 10 minutes so you should be sure to pick up your nicely starched dress robe and hood for the regional Grand Dragon's reading on Nathan Forrest...followed of course with refreshments and a good ole fashion lynching. Should be aces!

Nothing like the UNT brass cementing any sort of tradition. I guess we'll always have Fouts

Rick, Are you sure you want to judge people by their associates?

Capitalism at its best

Sir...the world was a better place when we still used European adjectives in front of our African countries. I personally detest Tanzania and will only refer to it as German East Africa

If you think you're getting any share of the brother of the Prince of Botsawana's inheritance you're crazy. That money is alllllllllll mine!

I first looked for a picture of a rock but thought that would be to obvious and decided to give a nod to Simon Pegg. Also the term I learned that day from the Simpson's: Specious Reasoning First...lets not be so short-sighted. This "war:" did not start with the Clinton administration...this "war" started in the mid to late 1940s when we (the West) absolutly butchered the creation of the Zionist state of Israel by essentially removing the nation of Palestine and uprooting roughly 600,000 people. You'd probably have some animosity if someone took your country away from you too. Now before this gets posted...I'm not anti-Israel...but I am upset by the abortion of the job done by the U.N. (with strong Truman backing) in creating Israel and our continued blind support of Israel in their conflict with Palestine. You call Hamas and the PLO "terrorist" organizations. Then are Aman and the Mossad not "terrorists" because they use American missles and weapons rather than suicide bombers? And since I know you love stats: 1, 2, 3. I'm not naive enough to believe that some or all of these sites may have an agenda...so I'll cede that at best we can call combatant, civilian and children deaths a wash. Also...is that the wording in the 9/11 report? "al-Queda and Iraq met several times"? That doesn't seem the least bit vague. I'm sorry but I have a difficult time believing that a paranoid and controlling dictator like Saddam would yield any control over his country by welcoming in a group like al-Queda...but of course I wasn't there.

On 9/11 I purchased this Japanese Peace Lily. I have not been attacked by terrorists... or Bengal Tigers, African Killer Bees, 7th Day Adventists, the Grizzly bear that killed Timothy Treadwell, Milton Bradley, crazed Yankee fan with her car, pit bulls (thanks FFR) housed at Bad Newz Kennels, ecoli aquired through neither spinach nor tomatos, femine-named Hurricanes or headless zombies. God Bless that Japanese Peace Lily

Meet my brother

I still insist Frenchy's would be ideal:

Its masterful moments like this that have put him where he is today. Thank you for your courage.

I did my ideal 2 deep for defense...but on offense I think its going to be even more important who's first off the bench...especially on the line. QB - Giovanni Vizza Daniel Meager TB - Cam Montgomery Micah Mosely OWR - Brock Sickler Sam Roberson OWR - Sam Dibrell Marcus King SWR - Casey Fitzgerald Breece Johnson SWR - Evan Fintress Jamel Jackson OT - Matt Menard Matt Tomlinson OG - Gabe Hollivay Chad Rose C - Kelvin Drake J.J. Johsnon OG - Esteban Santiago Tyler Bailey OT- Nate Jenkins Victor Gill(?)

Im assuming you mean Edwards...since you put Adams at corner in your starting line-up. I tried to make that point in my post that Edwards will play where the need is greatest...and I see more upside in Agbottah at safety than I do in Bush at corner. I think Bush is an ideal slot corner in a nickel or dime.

Under-rated

Edwards played corner at Iowa and at JC and I believe thats where UNT was hoping he would play when they signed him...if he can play safety as well then I think it comes down to who's better where - Agbottah at safety or Bush at corner...I give the nod to Agbottah. Also Donte neal is a transfer from Mizzou and will have to sit out this season. Here's my hopeful 2-deep DE - Alonzo Horton Marquis Sykes DT - Joseph Miller Draylon Ross DT - Ike Thomas Jonathon Stewart DE - Eddrick Gilmour Charlie Brown OLB - Colt Mahan A.J. Penson MLB - Tobe Nwigwe Marquese Davis OLB - Craig Robertson Steve Warren CB - Justin Edwards Antoine Bush CB - Adryan Adams Latif Nurudeen FS - Kylie Hill Germain Dawson SS - Kartay Agbottah Greg Garden

Wow...just to be mentioned in the same breathe...honored. Though, now I question your ability to discern good humor

Oh...and Jon Hodgeman (the PC guy)...so dry, so fly.

Steve Coogan, John C. McGinley, Creed Bratton, Peter Sellers, Eddie Izzard, Jon Stewart, Line 4 Guy, Old Shcool Eddie Murphey (he wore the best clothing), Lewis Black...and I can't believe no one mentioned Conan O'Brien...few things can make me laugh like the Walker, Texas Ranger Lever

I read about Gilchrist...but I had forgotten about Boyd...what about Calvin Oneil? Is he healthy and expected back? If so...has someone else transferred...it seems that if only the JUCO kids make it you'll still be atleast 1 if not 2 scholarships over.

Since I am starting to grow weary of trying to reason with many of you Fox News junkies and free market worshipers... I’ve decided to re-focus my efforts back to the wonderful world of Sun Belt Basketball. The 2008 recruiting season is essentially finished and now since none of the recruiting services take the time to rank the Sun Belt classes…I will. It should be noted…I am including in these rankings the Division I transfers who will become eligible this season…although officially they ought to be included in the previous season’s class. I debated back and forth on this, but decided that this would provide a better gauge for the impact players coming in next season. Ohh…and it helps UNT out considerably. Top Incoming Freshmen – 1. Jacolby Pittman, PF, UNO 2. Freddy Aspirilla, PF/C, FIU 3. Charles Carmouche, PG/SG, UNO 4. DeMarius Jones, SG, USA 5. Courtney Jackson, SF, UALR Top Incoming JUCO’s – 1. JeJuan Brown, SF/PF, ASU 2. Eric Allen, SG, MTSU 3. Sergio Kerusch, SG/SF, WKU 4. Bryan Sherrer, PG, USA 5. Eric Tramiel, PF, UNT Probable starters denoted in bold. 1. Middle Tennessee – JUCO’s – Eric Allen 6’5” 200 SG/SF; Montarrio Haddock 6’4” 220 SF; Josh Jones 6’8” 230 PF Freshmen – Aundra Williams 6’9” 235 PF; DeMario Williams 6’3” 185 SG Outlook: Allen can flat out score and shoot the basketball (22.7 ppg, 43.9 3pt%) and should be a starter the moment he steps on the floor. Haddock will be in a tough competition for minutes on a crowded wing. Jones and Aundra Williams add significant bulk to a relatively thin frontline. DeMario Williams is a highly regarded football recruit who has been given a season by both Kermit Davis and Rick Stockstill to figure out what sport he will stick with. 2. Arkansas State – JUCO’s – JeJuan Brown 6’7” 230 SF/PF; Donald Boone 6’5” 205 SG/SF; Eric McKinney 6’7” 215 PF; Brandon Ayers 6’4” 170 SG Freshmen - Trey Finn 6’1” 205 PG Outlook: It hasn’t taken long for John Brady to make an impression. Brown, a former Vanderbilt signee, will make an immediate impact and should push for Newcomer of the Year. McKinney will help an undersized Indian frontcourt. The duo of Boone and Ayers add size and athleticism and will be asked to pick up the scoring load left by the graduated Adrian Banks and the transferred Ryan Wedel. Finn is a strong-bodied PG who has a good chance to find his way into the starting lineup by conference play. 3. South Alabama – JUCO’s – Bryan Sherrer 6’0” 175 PG; LaShun Watson 6’5” 195 SG Freshmen – DeAndre Hersey 6’7” 200 SF/PF; DeMarius Jones 6’3” 175 SG; Cameron Moore 6’7” 200 SF Outlook: Sherrer and Watson should be in the starting line-up opening night…Sherrer at the 1, Watson at the 3. Both are highly regarded, but this is still a step down from the Bennett/Merritt duo they’re trying to replace. Jones is a scoring guard who will have the chance to make a significant impact as USA has only one proven backcourt commodity. Hersey and Moore will have time to develop both mentally and physically as they join a crowded Jag frontcourt. 4. UL – Lafayette – Division I – Emmanuel Adiefe 6’10” 220 PF (UNLV); Lamar Roberson 6’8” 220 SF/PF (UNLV) JUCO’s – Jeremy Barr 6’9” 275 PF; Colby Batiste 6’8” 220 PF; Lester Ferguson 6’10” 220 PF; Ryan McCoy 6’0” 160 PG Freshmen – None Outlook: Last season ULL Coach Robert Lee got his backcourt settled in for the next 2-3 seasons…this year he’s addressed his needs up front. If there is an impact player in this class…it will be Roberson…but both he and Adiefe have decided to transfer more than play as ULL will be both of their 4th schools. The troika of Barr, Batiste and Ferguson managed just 20.4ppg and 9.2rpg (a paltry average of 6.8ppg, 3.1rpg each)…but you don’t teach height and ULL will have plenty next season. McCoy, a former UNT non-qualifier, will see minutes as a back-up point guard. 5. Florida International – Division I – Josue Soto 6’1” 180 PG (Florida State) JUCO’s – J.C. Otero 6’7” 190 SF; Harley Fuller 6’1” 180 PG Freshmen – Mike Dominguez 6’4” 190 SG; Freddy Aspirilla 6’9” 260 PF/C Outlook: Soto is a former Florida State signee and Miami High School player of the year and is all but a lock to be the starter on the ball this season. Aspirilla is considered one of the better incoming freshmen in the SBC by many ranking services and should ensure that FIU actually has posts playing in the post. Otero left an offer from BYU to come to Miami and will compete for a starting spot on the wing. Dominguez will have time to develop while Fuller was signed to back up Soto. 6. North Texas – Division I – George Oduwafa 6’8” 240 PF (Arizona State) JUCO’s – Eric Tramiel 6’7” 225 SF/PF; Dominique Johnson 5’11” 180 PG Freshmen – Ben Knox 6’10” 215 PF/C Outlook: Hurt by the loss of a scholarship, UNT addressed the post to fill in around a talented young backcourt. Oduwafa is penciled in to start at the 5, and will have 3 years of eligibility remaining. Tramiel was a NJCAA All-American for Paris JC and should be in at the 4. Johnson has a season of D-I experience at UMKC and will ease the on the ball load of Josh White. Knox is a project. 7. Western Kentucky – JUCO’s – Anthony Salley 6’2” 185 PG; Sergio Kerusch 6’4” 205 SG/SF Freshmen – Jameson Tipping 6’5” 180 SF; Robbie Townsend 5’10” 165 PG Outlook: It was already going to be difficult for the Toppers to replace two potential NBA draft picks…but when Darrin Horn took the USC job and 2/3 of WKU’s early commitments bolted, new coach Ken McDonald really had his work cut out for him. Tipping was the only player recruited by Horn to keep his commitment, however he was also the least heralded and will probably spend the majority of the season on the bench. Salley was McDonald’s first signee…a pass first, pass second point guard (7.7ppg, 7.5 apg) who also rebounds extremely well for his size (6.3rpg). Townsend will have time to develop in a crowded backcourt. Kerusch was a huge signing for the Toppers…and essentially pulled this class out of the cellar of the SBC. Recruited by the likes of West Virginia and Ole Miss, Kerusch is a rugged wing, a contrast to the departed Courtney Lee. 8. Troy – Division I – Richard Delk 6’4” 180 PG/SG (Mississippi State) JUCO’s – Regis Huddleston 6’1” 180 PG/SG; Travis Lee 5’11” 170 PG/SG; Antywan Jones 6’6” 185 SF; Chris Leggett 6’7” 200 SF/PF Freshmen – None Outlook: Delk transferred with the intention of playing the point and should be the starter on the ball from day one. Around him, Huddleston and Lee will compete for the starting spot at the 2. Both averaged over 20ppg last season, as well as both shooting a very impressive 48% from 3pt territory. Jones will see plenty of time on the wing as a versatile player who averaged 23ppg, 6rpg, 5apg. Leggett will add some size to a relatively small Trojan frontcourt. 9. New Orleans - JUCO’s – Destin DaMachoua 6’1” 180 PG; Ejike Hart 6’8” 210 PF; Darrian McKistry 5’11” 180 PG; Joey Cameron 6’8” 240 PF Freshmen – Jamal Burroughs 6’6” 215 SF; Charles Carmouche 6’2” 185 PG/SG; Charles Hammork 6’5” 165 SG/SF; Jacolby Pittman 6’9” 220 PF; Paul Hagler 6’2” 215 SG Outlook: Joe Pasternak basically has to replace all of last season’s roster after 6 seniors graduated and another returnee opted to transfer. Pittman is the most highly regarded of the group and has a good chance of starting on the block for UNO. The same can also be said for Cameron and Hart…and perhaps their added experience will give either or both the inside track. Experience may also get DaMachoua and McKistry minutes in the backcourt early this season, but the hidden gem of this class should prove to be Carmouche. Carmouche is a strong bodied combo and thought to be the top player coming out of the New Orleans area this class…meaning, of course, he is drawing comparisons to Bo McCalebb. Burroughs and Hammork will add size to the wing. I can only find Hagler as a verbal at this point. 10. UL – Monroe – Division I – Lawrence Gilbert 6’7” 200 SF (Miami) JUCO’s – Dynile Forbes 6’1” 180 SG; Jarvis Hill 6’2” 200 PG/SG; Malcolm Thomas 6’6” 200 SF; Reggie Lassiter 6’0” 185 PG Freshmen – Brandon Williams 6’1” 170 PG Outlook: Once again Orlando Early has loaded up the Warhawk backcourt. Forbes and Hill should compete to compliment Tony Hooper on the wing, while Lassiter should stabilize the point guard position, an area of concern last season. Gilbert will more than likely slide into the starting line-up at the 4, while Thomas should earn minutes with his defense (led Tyler JC in steals last season with 41). 11. Florida Atlantic – JUCO’s – Jimmie Sutton 6’10” 250 PF/C Freshmen –Freddie Riley 6’5” 175 SG; Shavon Shine 6’2” 190 PG/SG Asked for release, yet to transfer - Dago Pena 6’6” 220 SG/SF Outlook: I was all set to put this up on GMG when I said…I think I’ll double check the message boards. The top thread on the FAU board: Pena Asks for Release. At the time, I had this FAU class ranked 3rd in the Belt…lose Pena, and it drops to 11th. Pena was the most highly anticipated freshman coming into the Belt this season…a Rivals 150 recruit who would probably started on the wing from day one in Boca. Riley comes with similar hype…however I have heard rumors that he will attend a prep school this coming season to get his grades up…however I haven’t gotten any actual confirmation. That leaves Sutton, a space eater who should help protect Carlos Monroe upfront, and Shine, a combo guard who was an AAU teammate of Pena and is at least a year away from contributing. 12. UALR – JUCO’s – Wayne Burton 6’8” 220 PF Freshmen – Courtney Jackson 6’6” 200 SF; Lionel Foster 6’1” 195 PG Outlook: It should be noted, UALR has signed Soloman Bozeman as well, a 6’0” 180 combo guard who is transferring from South Florida and will be eligible in the 2009 season. Burton is an athletic post and solid rebounder who should compliment the 2 bowling balls coach Shields rolls out at the 5 for the Trojans (Mike Smith and Derrick Bails). Jackson averaged a double-double last season and was ranked as the 15th best ’08 recruit in Texas. Foster, also a Texas native, will understudy to Steven Moore and be given time to develop into the Trojans point guard of the future. ??. Denver – JUCO’s – None Freshmen – Sabatino Chen 6’3” 185 PG; Justin Coughlin 6’9” 200 PF; Travis Hallam 6’4” 195 SG; Brian Stafford 6’2” 180 SG/PG; Tyler Thalken 6’4” 180 SG Outlook: It is difficult to assess Denver’s recruiting classes. Joe Scott has identified versatile players who will fit into his Princeton offensive style with a lack of concern for how ESPN or Rivals rank them. Coughlin is probably the highest regarded…a lanky post who can step out and knock down a 3. Chen is a solidly built point guard while Stafford, Hallam and Thalken are all solid shooters who should all compete for playing time this season.

I'm sorry...I must've missed where in my post I put that...glad to have your ever watchful eye there to read what you want to into my posts. There was a reason I isolated a particular part of your post...I agree with you (dear god) that GTM is pretty much beyond salvation and that the loop 288 area is a logistics nightmare. What I don't want to see in Denton, however, is the series of sterile, glass and steal 20 story buildings that line Central Expressway from the Bush to Mockingbird. Be more creative than that and atleast feign an attempt at keeping Denton a unique and seperate large-small town rather than just another suburb of Dallas

Please no...let Richardson stay in Richardson

Sodomy victims, heh?
