Mean Green Eagle

We'll be there...like we are every home game. Looking forward to this Senior class going out on top at home...

I got a call too, from volleyballer Amy Henard. Also received a Thanksgiving card in the mail yesterday from the MGC. Nice gestures.

Good move for both. Rangers IF was crowded, and Kins is the oldest of the middle IF-ers. His propensity to get picked off was ridiculous. Plus it sounds like Prince had worn out his welcome in Det already with his comments after the ALCS, and the Tigers need some $$$ for Scherzer.

Did the same. Disappointing. In fact, the only C-USA action I saw was the Marshall/FIU game at 5pm on FCS (626).

I was thinking the same...lol

Looking forward to the near-freezing temps! Our D will look and sound that much more stout, with those bone-crushing hits.

Have fun in Denton! East Side is a cool place, but I also like the classics....Cool Beans, Riprock's and Lou's. It will be a good time either way. Lots of talent out and about.

Pretty funny stuff!

Hi everyone! Love this thread. There's some great info in here. Anybody attending the Mean Green Club tailgate this weekend?

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/former-nfl-linebacker-thomas-howard-dies-in-car-crash-in-california-111713 Updated Nov 18, 2013 8:02 PM ET ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) Former NFL linebacker Thomas Howard died early Monday morning following a high-speed car crash on a freeway in Oakland. The Alameda County Coroner's office said the 30-year-old Howard was one of two men who died in the crash Monday. The driver of the other car, 64-year-old Zeng Long Liu of Hayward, also died in the crash. Howard was driving a speeding BMW when he hit a big rig, flipped over the center divider and went head-on into a Honda traveling on the other side around 1 a.m., said Officer Daniel Hill, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol. Witnesses say the car was traveling at speeds between 100 mph to 110 mph as the car overturned, crossed a median and ended up in the southbound lanes of the freeway, where it sideswiped another car before landing on top of the Honda, Hill said. Hill said that alcohol is not being ruled out as a possible cause of the accident. Howard played eight years in the NFL after being drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the second round out of Texas-El Paso in 2006. He was most recently with Atlanta before getting released last week after playing two games this season. Howard played his first five seasons with the Raiders and two seasons with Cincinnati. "Words really can't describe how I'm feeling right now," former Raiders teammate Kirk Morrison wrote on his Instagram account. "To get that dreaded phone call and hear someone tell you that one of your best friends is no longer with us is hard to grasp. The feeling of shock and disbelief can be unbearable at times but all I can remember is all the good times that we had. ... I didn't lose a best friend or former teammate, I truly lost a brother today in Thomas Howard." Howard became an almost immediate starter when he joined the Raiders, making 62 starts in his first four seasons. His best season came in 2007 when he intercepted six passes and returned two of them for touchdowns. He also had one sack, 11 passes defensed and one fumble recovery that season. Howard left the Raiders as a free agent in 2011 and started 15 games in his first season with the Bengals. Howard tore his ACL after his first game in 2012 and missed the rest of the season. He signed with the Falcons in October and played two games with Atlanta before being cut. Howard's father, Thomas Sr., also played nine seasons in the NFL as a linebacker. "Thomas was an absolutely terrific guy, one of the best and nicest guys I have ever come across," said Howard's agent, Andrew Kessler. "He had two daughters. It is a horrible tragedy obviously for everyone involved. Really devastatingly sad in every way."
