There. I've made the change now. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. However, the Roadrunners earned it. Congrats, guys! Now go win out and make it not hurt so bad.

Fun fact for ya: The Kinsler-to-Fielder pickoff ratio is 1100%

I would agree. I'd put it on par with playing "God Save the Queen" when the Cowboys travel to Foxboro to play the Patriots or something. I just find it not cool and very anti-Texas.

THIS! GP had his name mentioned every single time one of the big AQ schools started coach hunting, when TCU was not an AQ school. And every time, when asked in interviews he'd always say, "I'm not leaving yet. I have a job I promised to do here, and I haven't done it yet." That goal? To win TCU an NC. I could easily see Mac having this same mentality with us. At least, I hope he does. **Not proclaiming that we're going to win an NC soon, but I want that kind of high aspiration from our HC**

As long as it's not before we do . . .

Offensively, it's night and day. Defensively though, Moreland is better.

Man, I'm enjoying CFB season, but I already can't wait for baseball.

You're dang right! Totally forgot about Rios!

I wonder what this means with Nellie, though. Like, did we trade for Fielder in order to replace Nellie, or is this to put Beltre-Fielder-Cruz 3-4-5 in the lineup. I would hope the latter, because we'd freakin' mash!

This excites me. Profar was going to be stuck riding the pine last season and between Kins, Profar and Andrus, I viewed Kinsler as the most expendable. Now, I loved Kins as much as the next person, but I got really tired of the IKPU towards the end of the season.

Many people that buy tickets to Apogee intend to use them, not sell them. Plus, with tickets still available for first-time purchase, most aren't going to go to StubHub and pay above face value. If I can get a $30 ticket (with like $5 in TicketMaster fees) for $35, why would I go to StubHub and pay $40 for a ticket, plus a transaction fee of like $5 for a total of $45? Now, if the game was already sold out, then I'd understand using StubHub.

You're good, Holmes. I come from a military family, which has taught me a few things: 1 -- A uniform does not instantly validate your opinion. 2 -- An idiot in a uniform is still an idiot. 3 -- One idiot in a uniform does not mean everyone in the same uniform is an idiot. 4 -- A true veteran appreciates the work of other vets, regardless of which uniform they wore. Thank you for your service as well, sir. I'm eternally grateful. That goes for every vet I encounter.

I'd rather know what the hell I'm talking about when I post on a message board.

I heard the Alamodome was stolen by a bunch of squatters.

I'll join the roster!

That's awesome, man! I LOVE that we have what some other schools would refer to as "T-shirt fans." In my book, fans are fans. And any program worth their salt would NEVER turn away a fan of their program. That's why I've always found that to be a stupid term. Glad to have ya', smoothfresh and let's hope this program continues to make us even more proud each week! As for me, I've worked in different aspects of broadcasting for over a decade, now. (television, radio, online journalism -- I covered every professional sports team here in D/FW at some point or another as well as the TCU football and baseball teams) But, sports is a hobby to me and my real passion is film. You see, I graduated high school back in '97 but have slowly taken hours here and there but never earned a degree. At the end of 2010, during a brief job change from the world of investments back into television, my wife and I decided I needed to finally finish earning my Bachelors. Without hesitation, UNT was my first and only choice because of our outstanding RTVF program, but I was going to need to get my basics done first. I enrolled part-time at TCC and within 3 semesters I had earned my Associates. This past January, I set foot onto the UNT campus as a student for the first time at the age of 33. I'm planning to graduate within the next 2 years with my Bachelor of Arts in Radio, Television and Film with a heavy emphasis on film. After that, I want to make films full-time. I already have a few ideas and plan to share them with the world when the time is right!!!!! *Yes, some have a sports theme . . . who am I kidding? Most of them do.* In the meantime, I plan to study my butt off, brainwash my two children into being all green all the time, and catching every UNT sporting event I can. After all, as a student I get in for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

The old Student Union building is crumbling . . .

I chimed in, too. It's still awaiting moderation, apparently.

I have been to the dome. Many times. In fact, I've even marched on the field (H. S. Band) and been to a couple of events there. It was pretty good at the time it was built. I have no complaints. But, have you been to Apogee? In my opinion, it's really apples and oranges. I hope your visit is an enjoyable one . . . until kickoff.

Never! We think pretty highly of you around here. I simply found an opportunity to shoehorn in some Mony Python and took it.

Buttermilk got hosed, man. They smoked Lemon Meringue at the Thanksgiving Classic last year and are heavily favored again this time. And Brown Sugar? Come on! Who's even heard of them!?

The problem is, that they are "general admission" seats. Stuff like that usually works if you have a colored piece of posterboard/cardboard on a seat waiting for the person that occupies it. But, we have no "seats." Just bleachers. I guess it could still work, but it's logistically a little tougher for us. That said, it would be cool to pull off.

Some advice for those looking for good Tex-Mex in the Denton area. Put on a pair of wind pants or sweat pants. (You'll know why post-meal) Get on 377 and head south to Roanoke. Drive past the Wal-Mart and the 114 intersection to the Albertson's parking lot. Turn into it. Drive past the McDonald's and you'll see a little slice of Tex-Mex heaven called Los Molcajetes. It's right next to the liquor store. Order the Carne Asada. Enjoy the chips and salsa while you wait. No need to thank me.

NORTH!!!!!
