Because He's a NO-TALENT Hack, who knows a little about baseball and nothing else.

Fraley's an idiot, who is about to be unemployed. He was one of the people who was let go (took the early retirement) by the DaMN.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I don't think I've ever been colder covering a game. That press box was SMALL and COLD. I remember I had trouble keeping stats because it was so friggin' cold.

History Of Golden Hurricane A Hurricane In Tulsa? The origination of The University of Tulsa nickname - Golden Hurricane - came in 1922. A new football coach, Howard Acher, came to town and inherited a slew of nicknames dating back to 1895. Past Tulsa teams were referred to as Kendallites, Presbyterians, Tigers, Orange and Black, and Tulsans. In the fall of 1922, the team nickname was "Yellow Jackets," which was apparently due to the fact that the team was wearing new black and yellow uniforms instead of the traditional orange and black. The team opened the season and it was apparent that Tulsa was going to have a great year, and trying to seize some publicity for his team, Acher wanted to find a new nickname quickly. After a remark was made in practice one day about "roaring through opponents," and because of their new jersey colors, he thought of Golden Tornadoes. However, he quickly found out that the name had been taken by Georgia Tech a few years earlier. From the tornado, he evolved meteorologically to the hurricane. A few days before the team left for a game against Texas A&M, Archer asked the squad to vote on the name, and thus "Golden Hurricane" was born

'Dog the Bounty Hunter' arrested by U.S. marshals 05:11 PM CDT on Thursday, September 14, 2006 Associated Press HONOLULU – TV reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman and two co-stars on the show about his bounty-hunting exploits were arrested early Thursday in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in an alleged kidnapping three years ago in Mexico, federal officials said. Chapman, 53, his son Leland Chapman, and associate Timothy Chapman were taken into custody in an operation involving 15 officers, said U.S. Marshal Mark Hanohano. They did not resist arrest, he said. "All three were very compliant," Hanohano said. "It went down without incident." Mona K. Wood, a publicist for the star of the popular A&E series "Dog the Bounty Hunter," said Chapman would be vindicated. "He arrests the bad guys – and he is definitely not one of them," she said. The charges stem from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003, in Puerto Villarta, Mexico, said U.S. Marshals Service spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington. Chapman's capture of Luster, who had fled the country after being convicted of raping three women, catapulted the bounty hunter to fame and led to his reality series on the A&E channel. The three are being held in Honolulu, and bail has not been set. They will face an extradition hearing to Mexico under terms of treaties between the U.S. and Mexico, Credic said. Chapman's son Leland, 29, and Tim Chapman, 41, no relation, assist Chapman in exploits chronicled for the TV show around the Hawaiian Islands. The show focuses on Chapman's family as much as the bounty hunting, which generally involves tracking down bail jumpers, often creating emotional scenes with repentant captives. Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Villarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said. Mexican authorities demanded that the Chapmans transfer Luster to Mexican police. Their refusal to do so led to their initial arrest. A U.S. warrant for their arrest was signed by a federal judge in Honolulu on Sept. 13. The three were to face a hearing later Thursday in federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Barry Kurren, Hanohano said. They were to be transported to a federal detention center at the Honolulu airport pending extradition. "Dog the Bounty Hunter" is the A&E channel's top-rated show.

I found it about 6 months ago. I've been PMG free since then.

Seniors Haley Day, Genevieve Campbell and Kiara Slaton, starters on last season's Class 5A state runner-up girls basketball team, have made oral commitments to play in college. Day, a 5-10 guard/forward, committed to SMU. Slaton, a 6-3 center, committed to Tulane. Campbell, a 5-8 guard, committed to Texas A&M-Commerce. The first day a basketball player can sign is Nov. 8.

That's what you get from somebody who doesn't know much about the program.

lol! chrisfisher The comment about flushing SMU was a joke, just part of my sick sense of humor. Because of your newbie status you don't know that I'm a sarcastic muckracker, who hates everything. (Another joke, well mostly). Welcome to the board and I hope you continue to bleed MEAN GREEN.

It will be nice to be the program that flushed the $h!+ known as SMU.

UNT fans don't earn points for originality Deposed Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar signed on with Division I-AA Sam Houston State last week, and I shed a small tear for an opportunity wasted. No, I didn’t lament the loss of a top-notch signal caller, but rather a wasted chance to do away with the poser University of North Texas tradition of throwing tortillas after touchdowns at every game. The Mean Green didn’t get Bomar, but maybe, just maybe, UNT can still enjoy a nice payoff anyway. According to legend, Mean Green fans, then known as Eagles’ fans, began throwing out tortillas in 1999 when UNT beat Texas Tech in Lubbock. Red Raider rooters have long tossed the Mexican flatbread after scoring, and the Mean Greenies wanted to ridicule them after UNT upset Tech, 21-14. Thus was born a copycat tradition. However, as legends often are, this tale seems more fiction than fact. UNT sports information director Eric Capper came to the school in 2001, and he said that widespread tortilla panic did not take hold in Fouts Field until 2003. The tortilla situation neared epidemic in 2005, when the school began trying to discourage people from throwing tortillas (because they’re a huge clean-up problem on the track and often fly into the team on the sidelines) by taking them away and even in some cases ejecting fans who were caught with stacks of the offending wraps. Now, I’ve been against the tortilla tradition since the first time I saw it. Not because it could injure somebody, and not because it’s a pain in the rump to clean up. Just because it’s lame. UNT fans are always saying they want the Mean Green to be a big-time Division I football program. Then, for crying out loud, get your own traditions. DO NOT COPY SOMEBODY ELSE’S! Ever since I first had a tortilla bounce off my noggin at Fouts, I have been trying to think of a substitute projectile. And, no, pita won’t work either. The Mean Green need to throw something green. First, I thought of frozen peas. They’re green, and the thought of a shower of peas raining down on the field does appeal to my sense of aesthetic beauty. However, if the folks at UNT don’t like cleaning up tortillas, then the peas would be an utter nightmare -- we’re talking split pea soup on the track and in the stands. Next, I thought of celery. No go there either. Just ask Gillingham Football Club in Kent, England. Gillingham fans took to throwing celery after goals -- even writing unprintable songs to commemorate the act. Feel free to google it, the songs are vulgar but funny. About 10 year ago, Gillingham banned celery from their stadium after a goalie was hit in the head by a stalk. So, celery is out, too. And that brings me to Rhett Bomar. The quarterback, who was kicked out of Oklahoma after admitting to receiving thousands of dollars from a car dealership for work he did not do, reportedly looked at coming to UNT after he got the boot from the Sooners. The Mean Green’s opening game in 2007 is at Oklahoma. When he heard about this, former Denton Record-Chronicle UNT beat writer Tim MacMahon remarked offhand that this would be great because all of the Sooner fans would be throwing money at Bomar in the game. And thus was born a new tradition -- if not at UNT, then at least in my mind. UNT didn’t get Bomar, but it can still have all those dollar bills, y’all. Mean Green fans, keep your tortillas for your tacos and put your mouth where your money is. The next time UNT scores a touchdown, then reach down deep, crumple up a dollar bill and throw it on the track. Those in the good seats help those in the nosebleeds by passing along their donations, and everybody give some green to the Mean Green. The money, of course, is for the school. Players, don’t touch, or you’ll soon be catching passes or blocking for Bomar down in Huntsville. Capper was delighted when alerted to the idea and immediately started thinking of practical applications. “Yeah, I love it!” he said. “Just crumple up those dollar bills, and we’ll put it right to the stadium fund.” And, hey, Mean Green fans -- there’s even better news. The way UNT has been playing you won’t need more than a buck or two each Saturday. ETHAN B. SZATMARY can be reached at 940-566-6869. His e-mail address is eszatmary@dentonrc.com.

Great Post LongJim Couldn't agree more!!!

North Texas has something Troy doesn't. Location, Location, Location and that equals Media Market.

UTAH is going to be JayDubbed!!!

Gerry Fraley is just a FAT PIECE OF CRAP in a Hawaiian shirt. He knows nothing about football or COLLEGE SPORTS in general. He has some HSO's on baseball, but most of those suck as well. Forget Fraley!

And it was THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY that did the spankin'!!!!

Ramon called a GREAT game and anyone who says otherwise is a fool. I sat next to Ramon's grand mother at the game. She is a lovely lady, but she had some fire. Silver, I can see where he gets his temper from. She was excited for him and said he wanted to win this game a lot. It's all he talked about when he talked to her. Congrats Ramon and I hope you bring your grand ma to more games, she had a great time.

Whatever the attendance was, it was disappointing. This game should have beem Standing Room Only. The students put there buts in the seats, but WHERE were the alumni. Oh, that's right they don't like Darrell Dickey so they don't come to the games, right PLUMM. It was a great atmospere and I enjoyed seeing all of my Greenbacker friends. My special thanks to MeanGreen MBA, for giving a hat to my buddy Chris. He said he never met a nicer bunch of strangers. He's already asking when the next home game is.

Thanks for the congrats. Your Offensive Line is HUGE. Once the QB gets his timing down, y'all will be tough. Good luck to SMU for the rest of the season.

Just ignore PLUMM, everybody else does. His truly colorful post don't even appear on my computer.

I speak only for myself. Most of the smu grads I know are pretty good people. But then there are the few who act like the complete rich pricks they are.

Looks like early 80s Carter revisted in Corsicana. I take back what I said earlier. Forget this kid, he's just a bad egg, who can catch a football. ___________________________________________________________________ Greg Stewart was arrested again Wednesday, charged with two more counts of aggravated robbery in association with a pair of July convenience store hold ups. The 18-year-old Corsicana senior was picked up before lunch by CISD officers at the district’s alternative school, Corsicana Police Department Detective Sgt. Becky Simpson said. He is being held at the Navarro County jail under bonds totaling $50,000. Stewart had already accepted a scholarship offer to Baylor and was in line to become Corsicana’s all-time leading receiver before being arrested Aug. 17 in connection with a June 3 robbery of the Seventh Avenue Shell Station. Stewart charged in 2 more robberies
