  1. They probably go to a expensive private school and "need" designer clothes, they only wear once and plenty of bling.
  2. How much are club level seats? They'd be pissed if NT had most of the club level behind their fans and in front of the suites.
  3. Todd Dodge, coaching guru Every HS coach in Texas is going to want one.
  4. http://ulm.scout.com/2/654969.html By ULM SID Guest Publisher Posted Jun 27, 2007 Forced to vacant his home in New Orleans, Lawrence was moved to Houston where he signed to play for the Miami Hurricanes. Lawrence was a highly recruited SF and was ranked as one of the top 100 players in the nation for the 2006 class. ULM and Warhawks men's basketball head coach Orlando Early announced Wednesday the transfer of Lawrence Gilbert from the University of Miami. Gilbert will not play until the 2008-09 season and will have three years of eligibility remaining. The 6-7, 201-pound New Orleans, La. native left UM after the end of the 2006-07 season. Gilbert played in 20 contests, starting two, for Miami. He played sparingly, averaging 6.0 minutes per contest in his first season in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Miami finished the 2006-07 campaign with a 12-20 overall record and a 4-12 mark in the ACC. "We are very excited Lawrence [Gilbert] is joining our program," said Early. "He is a guy we targeted in high school and were able to watch play before Hurricane Katrina. He is a big-time, athletic wing player that can play a variety of positions on the court. What I am excited about the most is he will have a full year to learn our system and get in the weight room and improve. We have a large senior class this coming year and he will be able to hit the ground running when he becomes eligible to play." Gilbert played his senior season at Houston Wheatley due to Hurricane Katrina. He averaged 19 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals and four blocks per game while leading Wheatley to a 31-4 record under head coach Marshall Jackson. He was named second team All-State, District Co-MVP, team MVP and team captain. As a junior at L.W. Higgins in New Orleans Gilbert averaged 15 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks per game, and was named All-District, team MVP and team captain. Gilbert also competed in track at Higgins where he holds the school high jump record (6-08.00). In the school's first season of Sun Belt play, Early guided a ULM (18-14) team picked in the league's pre-season poll to finish last in the seven-team West Division to an 11-7 divisional record and co-West Division title with Arkansas State. Early guided the Warhawks to their best season since 2001-02 when ULM finished 20-12 overall, 15-5 in the Southland Conference. ULM also posted its fourth undefeated record at home with a 14-0 mark in only Early's second season at the helm of the Warhawks.
  5. There are biggots in Idaho? I'm am aware there are biggots everywhere, even at NT.
  6. Randy "Dawg" Jackson, of American Idol judge fame will announce the Baja Men, the singers of "Who Let the Dogs Out" as Michael and Marcus Vick sprint down the field in a race with all the proceeds going to the SPCA and PETA.
  7. Josh Alexander received a medical redshirt last year. He redshirted in 2003. Did not play in 2004. Earned a letter in 2006. So he is a fifth year senior, who has redshirted and had a medical redshirt. He can apply for a sixth year, if he wants one. The chances are he would get it even though he's not an alcoholic from OU. Can't we all just be happy that Josh is going to be able to walk without a major problem and has a chance to rejoin the football team. This kid was almost disabled for life and it is a miracle he's not.
  8. Hidalgo High School (32-AAA) has just added new turf to their stadium this summer. I think its pretty good for a 3A school to have turf already. Ahead of many bigger schools. It is much darker than Boise States' blue turf. Its Navy Blue. As you can see the stadium is still under construction.
  9. We get to see the wristbands and socks next Yea, hip, hip hooray. (please note sarcasm)
  10. Sherman star picks UNT Sherman softball standout Lisa Johnson said she has orally committed to North Texas. As a junior last season, Johnson was named the District 5-4A pitcher of the year. Johnson plays for the Texas Glory Gold, one of the top select teams in the state.
  11. What did YOU, as a fan, over the last two season's see that would make you think otherwise????
  12. Both emmitt01 and Dodge2007 are speaking out of their ASS and it's impossible to understand. I think they're both talking about who starts at quarterback, Woody or Daniel Meager? That, as well as a lot more will be decided on the field in a couple of weeks.
  13. This is a great article, I really enjoyed it when I read it in ESPN magazine.
  14. Biggio done at end of year He was always one of my favorite players. Played the game the right way.
  15. Former FW Masonic Home dorm to become a shopping center -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "take paradise and put up a parking lot, ooh, wah,wah,wah..." Cowboys legends plan to demolish Masonic Home's Mighty Mites dorm By Barry Shlachter, Jim Fuquay, Maria M. Perotin Star-Telegram Staff Writers A 1920s-era Masonic Home building that two Dallas Cowboy greats, Emmitt Smith and Roger Staubach, want demolished for a Fort Worth shopping center, once housed scrappy orphans who managed to win a state football championship in a Hoosiers-like underdog story. The tale is gripping enough to fill an upcoming book, Twelve Mighty Orphans: The Inspiring True Story of the Mighty Mites Who Ruled Texas Football, by Jim Dent, author of Junction Boys and The Undefeated. And Disney and other studios are negotiating for a film version. To be released Sept. 4 by Thomas Dunne Press, the book chronicles how the Masonic school went from being without a football to a state championship six years later, then making it to the semifinals three times: in 1934, 1938 and 1940. Hardy Brown and DeWitt Coulter from the '40 team became All-Pro players with the 49ers and Giants, respectively. The two-story structure figures prominently in Mighty Orphans. Later renamed the Remmert Building, the senior boys' dormitory was known for generations as the "Big Guys' Building," and its basement housed the players' locker room, said Billy Threlkeld and Paul Underwood, both players on the Mighty Mites' undefeated 1966 team. A rule change kept them from contesting the state championship. "Obviously, the news disappoints me and makes me sad," said Underwood, 56. Threlkeld, who spent 30 years in the construction business, expressed disbelief that Smith's architects can't incorporate the historic building in the design for what will be called Mason Heights Village, adjacent to a development of more than 500 houses. "Even I could do it," he said. Smith, who didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment, got the go-ahead last week from the city's Landmark Commission to have the dormitory and two other old buildings razed, over the protests of Historic Fort Worth and counter to a recommendation by city staff. In his remarks, Smith did not address preservationist concerns but detailed the need to bring big-box retailers to a severely underserved neighborhood. Developer Michael Mallick said the core Masonic Home campus of 10 structures will be given to the All Church Home and remain intact. "Emmitt Smith is involved?" asked Bert Van Natter III, who spent five years at the home and graduated in 1967. "Makes me sick," he said. "It's a money thing, that's what it is. If we knew there was going to be a hearing, 25 to 50 ex-students would have shown up and protested tearing down the building. It was our understanding that the historical buildings would not be touched," Van Natter said. Dent, a prize-winning reporter who covered the Cowboys for 11 years for the Star-Telegram and Dallas Times Herald, said Smith should think twice before razing a building with such significance to Texas football. "I have known Emmitt Smith since his rookie season of 1990 and hold a great admiration for him as a football player," Dent e-mailed us from Houston. But, he went on, "anyone can see the historical significance of all of this, and I'm sure the backlash in Fort Worth concerning the destruction of this building will be overwhelming."
  16. According to the depth chart in the SI.com preview he will be a starter on offense.
  17. Colton Lyon, 2011 Prospect?
  18. Here is the SportsIllustrated.com football preview from Athlon Sports. It has a depth cart with Sam Roberson as a starting WR. I'm thinking the looked at his height and put him down as a starter. I think that Sam Dibrell or Marcus King have a better chance at starting.
  19. The team is the product, the coach gets more money if the team fills the stadium and it's the school's JOB to market our team.
