  1. Football (college, pro, WHHS football) Basketball (NT only) um, are there any other sports?
  2. This will be huge if Johnny Jones makes it happen.
  3. I'd like to add that I think the shirts are sweet lookin'. I'm also looking forward to another exciting and fun season as a Mean Green fan this bball season.
  4. It will happen. The reason it's taken so long is that Liberty has had problems finding new land and then getting it developed. I want to say that the NT softball team will be playing on their new field this spring. Besides, we're a few years out from fielding a full fledged NCAA baseball team.
  5. As with any situation, your mileage may vary.
  6. I concede that there were students that sat in the wrong spot. However, they weren't told until after the fact. It's kinda like changing the speed limit without posting what the limit is, then getting pulled over for violating the law. My concern is that it may have pi$$ed off those students and there is a risk that they might not come back. If you don't want them there, tape the section off and park your security force there so no one tries to sit there. Since we're paying for the "hired guns," how about using them more effectively rather then butting heads with people? It'll go over a whole lot easier in the long run. Additionally, there aren't any water fountains under the stands on the student side. This is a crime, especially when you don't carry enough product for the larger crowds we're experiencing, in hot weather no less. Sounds like I need to email Jesse Davis (SGA Prez). He might be able to do something in favor of the students.
  7. In defense of my sis-in-law, the problem started when said outsourced security force didn't tell students that were filing into said "paid" seating that they weren't suppose to be there. Instead, they told students after the game started. If they don't want students sitting there to begin with, rope it off and have the "hired guns" patrol it like it's scarce natural resource or something. Until the students were told to leave, the section was actually packed. Regarding the other issue, since students were forced from their seats, they just piled into the next section over. This lead to overcrowding. Because the section was too full, the "hired guns" weren't letting students back into the section, despite some having been there the entire half. So, rather then letting students already in the section after half the game was close to over get something to drink/eat, they were told not to leave or risk losing their seats. You tell me if you'd give up your seats, regardless if they were assigned to you or not, if you were told that if you left, you couldn't get back to your seats? Having been there for the entire situation (in the section I was sitting in), it was something that could have been avoided with proper execution even before students started piling in. These security guys need to walk on egg shells, else they'll start a riot. It was already an emotional situation with the action from the game, they only fueled the fire with the stuff that went on in the stands. Regarding "paid" seating on the student side. Nothing pi$$es the students off more then a ton of empty seats that are still somewhat close to the action and being told they can't sit there (and then see those seats remain empty for the entire game). Now, if people constantly bought tickets for the section in question, then the students wouldn't have a leg to stand on, but that really isn't the case. There are students that are making a concerted effort to make it the games, only to be told they can't sit somewhere because other people aren't doing their part and buying up those tickets.
  8. I'm still waiting for thumb wrestling to be added to the long list of summer sports in the Olympics.
  9. I'm thinking along the same lines you are.
  10. You mean they teach 'em to read down there?
  11. Where does this new FW team play?!
  12. Wow, this is a young team. I'm hoping for improvement this season, but 2005-2006 should be awesome given the experience we'll have.
  13. It still has to pass through the voters of Arlington. They may or may not like the idea.
  14. I need to peak at the September schedule. I might be able to make a game or two when it's not 100+ at noon.
  15. I'm game. I'm still very much a "frosh" at playing, so if I do cheese, it's purely accidental (perhaps a blown play?).
  16. I hope all the peeps in the Pit Crew are looking for something cool to wear. I need to find mechanics outfit type thing that I can do some cool things with. Finding one that's green would be awesome.
  17. Darren Woodson ... he can lay some wood on receivers if they decide to enter his zip code.
  18. How about getting called for clipping in general? I seem to get flagged for it when a drive is humming along only to have it killed with a 15 yard penalty. Getting called for holding would seem more believable.
  19. Finally got to see Bicentennial Man. It was on ABC a couple of weeks ago (maybe a month?), but I DVR'd it. Great movie. Interesting parallels to what "humans" face in regards to acceptance in every day life. Love and death focal points of the movie as well. I'll have to say that this movie is right up there with What Dreams May Come as one of Robin Williams greatest movies in his career. While he has always been a great comedian, I love to see when someone like that steps outside of themselves and makes a great serious movies. Kinda like what Jim Carey did with The Majestic and The Truman Show.
  20. I'm in my first year of a dynasty and I had Colorado's offense on the ropes. The best they had done was a field goal off of a fumbled punt return deep in my own territory. Yet, with about 1.30 remaining in the 4th quarter, deep in their own terriotry, CU did a punt fake and scored a TD. <_< Passing has been problematic. Running is easy once you start get the hang of things. Throw in the occasional pass and the CPU starts to respect the pass. I'm looking forward to mopping the field with my remaining opponents.
  21. OK, for those that have Xbox and Live, list your screen name. Mine is ITEagle03.
  22. Think the home owners of Denia would favor the name for a rogue group of people?
