Not to mention Cowboys' coach Jimmie Johnson. You know, just maybe, Damon West has himself to blame for his problems. Nah, only conservatives would advocate someone taking personal responsibility for their actions. It was society's fault.

The Mean Green will kick Lucy's butt this year; she can't pull THAT away fast enough!

I'm not disagreeing with you; and do think "gray area" describes the matter (pun intended) well.

I have thought the same things; I know he took some pretty good shots in his junior year; I saw him for the first time when they beat Euless Trinity in Bi-District and went on to win state. There was talk that he may have been knocked a little woozy in the Trinity game; I did see Youri Yenga (all state defensive mvp by some rating service-he's at SMU now) fly over an offensive lineman and land on top of him in the last minutes of the game. He went on to run in the winning score in that game. My understanding is that the guy who hit him in the Abilene game and separated his shoulder is one great athlete. I doubt if there was anything done blatantly against the rules for medical redshirting. The rules seem set up to result in a judgment call by the NCAA as to who gets the medical.

Uh, this is the same magazine that produces an annual swimsuit issue, including photography? Our female cheerleaders should be breathing a sigh of relief that they WEREN'T included in this pathetic layout. And not to insult OldGuyStudent's old school, but two from UC Irvine, and those two? Also, Whitney from Old Dominion had a facial expression saying "where is an escape path". Georgia from Georgia Tech looks like she's doing the mental arithmetic to balance next year's budget for the City of Dallas (Texas, not Georgia). At least UC Irvine being included convinced me it's not another slam against our football program, since they don't have one.

I think if they had some weapons they'd be using them. Foreign intervention doesn't seem foreign to the modern Iranian nation, but hasn't really helped those who needed help all that much. A link to a story about an American who tried to help them rise up against an early 20th Century Shah: An American martyr to Iranian constitutionalism.

The CIA's own site seems to agree with it being a coup, and finds validity in George W. Bush's sad conclusion that our search for stability in the Middle East, including Operation Ajax, didn't bring us safety. Their review of "All the Shah's Men" doesn't dispute the author's presentation of the facts, although they do question his "maudlin" treatment of Mossadegh, the deposed Iranian Prime Minister, and criticize Mossadegh for failing to understand the Anti-Communist concerns of the United States and Britain. Personally, I have enjoyed the company of Iranians I have met in work and social settings. I had a recent master's graduate originally from Iran working for me on a temporary basis once at the City of Dallas. Looking back, it's interesting that he said most Iranians liked the United States because they have (after a fashion) been a democratic country, BECAUSE of the leadership of Mossadegh. Check out the following for what the CIA says about the book which chronicled Ajax shortly after the primary documents became declassified: CIA review of "All the Shah's Men"

Maybe that's why there's been so little stomach on anyone's part for more direct action against N. Korea. If anyone knows any alleged pretext behind their increased belligerence beginning with the latest nuclear test, please let the rest of us know.

Got to agree with you here. We couldn't help ourselves or our purported beneficiaries.

Of course DUI is serious and gets lots of people killed, but it seems like many here were ok with Michael Vick getting back to the NFL, after being conviceted of what amounts to killing dogs in a cruel manner. Not to mention that he was gambling, but not convicted of it, which is generally a death sentence in any sport. I do think Awasom has paid a sufficient price that we should now give him the benefit of the doubt. I'd say a lot of us on this board have only been fortunate in not being arrested on alcohol-related offenses at some point, like our college years. I hope Awasom has learned his lesson well.

I did a Yahoo search (old fashioned, I know) on the rumored replacement for Ausmus, and found a reference to him being the 7th ranked weightlifter in the world.

As t-shirts I've seen at Euless Trinity football games say, "you can't score without a Trojan".

Dude, you gave me a good laugh, but hey, we don't torture! Anyway, how do you know when one of them's telling the truth?

But isn't the form based on rhythmic "feet", not syllables? Some of us want to Haiku, but really need help.

Tennessee, taking lessons from U of North Texas? Source says; "assistant coach is leaving". Head coach denying, says "nothing has changed". Oh, pay no attention.

Every resident of Dallas, Texas already has one; it's called the Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant. Or, as graffiti I saw posted on a restroom wall in Idaho Falls, Colorado said "Flush twice, it's a long way to Denver".

I guess the problem I see generally (and yes, I've been guilty of it, and yes, lately) is that those from either side of any polarizing argument use such a broad brush when discussing any issue, that any opinion expressed that is closer to the center, or recognizes valid points on either side, or that within a larger topic, that one can have different opinions on either side of its various aspects. I, as a white dude who likes to hang with folks of various racial, ethnic, religious, or whatever defined group, felt oppressed by the prevailing Southern bias against minorities, and the whites who befriended them, notably before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. I'm not sure I agree with all parts of said act, but I did, and still do agree with the "Public Accommodations" part; it was ridiculous, in the age of the Interstate Highways, that blacks could only go to certain parts of almost any part of the Southern United States to eat, use the restroom, or even get a drink of water from a fountain. And that's only taking the narrow view of personal and economic necessities; it would take a long time to discuss the moral and ethical implications of Jim Crow segregation. I have to say that I think it's disingenuous, at best, to throw the whole question of the Civil Rights Laws into one part of an anti-liberalism rant. There may be more nuance to the employment aspect, but how can segregation of public facilities, especially tax supported, be defended? Dwayne Taylor

Oh, and pay no attention to cultural phenomena in Seattle! Take it from a guy who is definitely left of center politically (except when my sister who lives in San Francisco shows up, who's so far left that everyone else in the room becomes right of Calvin Coolidge by comparison); Seattle is Communist! Yep, I lived there for a year; was wandering around the "Capitol Hill" (make sure you make that with an "o", not an "a", capitol, and what did I come across? An Enver Hoxha bookstore. Yes, this was back around 1980, but still, an entire bookstore devoted to the Stalinist leader of then Communist Albania! Mind you, the Soviet Union had dissolved, so this was post Soviet Bloc Albania. This was no Barnes and Noble in size, but still, maybe as large as Albania, and large enough to make you think, "I didn't know Enver Hoxha had written or inspired that many books". No, patriots, feel reassured on this day after Flag Day that Seattle's contributions to the American Scene have to do with Jimi, Hendrix, grunge bands, airplanes (just say to yourself, "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going"), software, and the only D1 football team that lost more games last year than UNT. And there may be your explanation for 30,000 at a soccer game in Seattle; the possibility of seeing a local team win. And oh yeah, you had already bolded the relevant part, so I had to Italic it. You're not making it easy, even when I support you on this.

The pro bowlers and golfers can help you when you need to get your nap started. Soccer suks! Once I was playing soccer during 8th grade gym and kicked at the ball at the same time the guy who was in his 4th year of 8th grade kicked (he woke up from his nap after he got picked for a team-before me). When our big toes hit that ball at the same time, it hurt like a muthah! My big toenail broke, shriveled and eventually fell off. I don't think it hurt the big guy any. You know, he couldn't pass 8th grade, but he could play soccer!

Fixed.

The Dave Brubeck concert my wife and I attended this last February was attended by those barely of college age and those well into retirement. That may be an anomaly, hard to find outside of places with less love for jazz than UNT, but I think it suggests that a music program can appeal to a wide age range without anyone feeling slighted or excluded.

That's good news; I had wondered, since that name appeared before Green's. Thanks for the clarification.

Dang, Tasty Maybe you should send those pics to the architectural firm for the new stadium.

Yes, that was very noticeable. I'm glad you mentioned it, because I wasn't sure it was Fouts; it just looked weird with NOBODY in the end zone seats. I guess people just wouldn't support a winning product, if they perceived it as boring.
