NT80

I'm liking her more all the time. The Daily is clueless sometimes; puts her down for trying to promote the University and reconnect out of state alums (donor$) to the school again.

I'd like it better if we got rid of the SBC games.

SMUt is starting practice today and the DMN said their practices will also be closed to the public, except for their spring game March 31. Like SMUt has any talent to hide anyway?

Many losers and winners in this new Cowboys Stadium deal. Losers: City of Dallas Dallas City Council City of Dallas taxpayers Fair Park Oak Cliff Cotton Bowl Downtown Dallas NE suburb Cowboys fans Arlington traffic on gamedays City of Irving Los Colinas Winners: City of Arlington Arlington taxpayers Arlington and GPM airports Fort Worth and mid-cities fans Ranger's ballpark businesses

SOMEONE with inside knowledge is spreading 2009 stadium rumors....

Right now, I'm for taking all the players we can get and letting Dodge sort them out based on his judgement. Let the position competitions begin!

Sounds mostly like a rant from ECU fans just wanting a Big East bid. No way they go independent in 1-A football.

Simple answer: NO

I know about the bio, but I also saw last fall's scrimmages. Maybe he was injured during camp, but his kicking distance seemed very short.

Players can't redshirt in high school, so why not put them on the field for some experience. It's different in college, you don't subject your potential future QB to such things. Maybe in a practice he could run some routes if that is thought to be a benefit, but you don't burn eligibilty just to experiment in real games.

The reward(?) with our funding is that we are stuck in the SunBelt Conference. :-(

Maybe he can kick too? I'm a little concerned about our placekicking position.

To give ULL a chance to set up a play?

I wondered if he would be recruited for another position. TD must be happy with the way things have turned out lately. Got college HC job without moving, wins state title with son, son named player of year, signed quality recruiting class, meets President in Oval Office, son gets ship to his alma mater, ....what's next?

It's better than him signing with SMUt or the Froggies. He could be a junior before he ever takes a snap with uT.

Let's at least get through Spring Practice before we start buying Bowl tickets.

Some interesting info: http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/archive....php/t-864.html

There are many factors in aircraft delays involving weather. With freezing precipitation, this usually involves de-icing an aircraft before it can depart. With some forms of freezing precip, airlines cannot de-ice them and they cannot depart until it stops. In de-icing, an aircraft taxies to a de-icing station, usually an out-of-the way ramp area. This process to de-ice takes from 20-30 minutes per aircraft, depending on size of the plane. Then, there is limited time in which the plane must takeoff or it will need de-iced again, usually less than an hour depending on the de-ice mixture. That's only the mess at the departure airport ramp. Then there are delays for snow removal from taxiways and runways, and closed or non-priority runways that restrict arrival/departure rates. FAA's traffic management unit is quick to stop departure traffic if an arrival airport has weather problems and restricted arrival rates. Many times airlines get the delay scoop before the tower controllers do. Sometimes it's a circus to make it all work.

I like the new Green and look of the new basketball and track (pictured) uniforms, trimmed with black and white. Sort of a Marshall look. I hope the new football unis are sharp as well: http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...p;ATCLID=803431

from DMN: A state rep is drafting a bill that would realign Angelo State University with Texas Tech University. A group of ASU boosters met with Gov. Rick Perry this week to ask that the school be taken out of the Texas State University System. TTU-San Angelo?

I assume by travel time you mean for away games. Hank normally wouldn't be entertaining potential donors to away games anyway. RV is usually at home basketball games in his courtside seats, many times by himself. I'm sure he would be happy to escort Hank's next big donor to the game. Come on, give them some credit for knowing how to handle a potential donor. It's not like there is ten millionaires coming thru the door every day wanting to see a JJ home game with Hank or else they're taking their money to SMUt. Geez.

It was mentioned when this fundraising firm was hired last fall that results would be back to NT in mid-January (2007). Shortly after mid-January the $1.5 stadium donation was announced officially at the basketball game as a kickoff for the new stadium. Coincidence? I think the fundraising campaign is further along than just the "what-if" phase.
