Dangit Brett!! Why do you always have to bring up SMU's record in your blog? Aren't you supposed to have a strong bias for North Texas? Quit bringing up SMU's lowly, awful program! We already know their basketball team is terrible. No need in reminding us with every post... Go Mean Green! Go Collin Mangrum!

"taint" is "'Merikin". For example: Taint right fer them to repo my trailer!

If those two schools were to leave, then that leaves Iowa St.(who, lets face it, are not even wanted in that conference anyway) really far away from the next closest school (Manhattan,KS?). What other midwestern schools would the big 12 draw from in order to balance the North-South alignment they currently have? If 2 more Texas schools are added, then you may as well have a "Texas" division and an "everyone else" division. I think losing these schools would be terrible for the big 12. Lose Mizzou OR Neb. and that's fine. Lose Colorado, and that's fine. But lose all 3 and you run out of Northern schools to fill out the conference. Hey, we do have "North" in our School's name!

Both parties are "spaghetti-spined". They're all politicians... it goes with the territory. Talking in circles. Posturing. It's what they do.

Gotta like Brooks' size. He has plenty of offers, so I'm assuming he can play. I wouldn't mind having him, but what kind of PG is he? Is he pass first, or shoot first? What would JJ do with Alzee if he brought Brooks on? I'm not very concerned with the PG position in the future. I would rather find who's gonna take over for George O after this year.

Tecmo bowl is probably my favorite game of all time. If you were in the pocket longer than 2 seconds, LT sacked you... forget about extra points. LT blocked those. Walter Payton, as in real life, was the man!

I agree with this. Hopefully, with the upcoming student fee increase, the T&F teams will have a little more dough to play with. Good thing you weren't on the logistics team Welch. All they do is win 3 straight National Championships and there is a 1/2 page thread for them... T&F is great. I'm sure I speak for everyone else on the board when I say I love the Mean Green Track & Field team. I don't think we're the only fans/message board in the country that show less attention to T&F than football though. There are many other UNT teams that share your same arguement. Soccer. Tennis. Heck, even mens basketball! But I don't think you can argue against Football being the sport that butters the bread at UNT.

I went to the friendly between the U.S. & Guatemala at PHP in 2007. I think your observation goes for all Central American countries. Before this game, I would stand silently with my hand over my heart while the Star-Spangled Banner played, like most people do. After hearing the Guatemalans in the crowd sing their anthem, I sang ours as loud as I could, and I still sing it loud to this day every time it's played.

Is it bad that it takes about 4 loops before I can stop watching your avatar and read your message? Obviously, America needs Jean Claude VanDame to run for governor of a large state as a moderate democrat. That way, there is balance in American politics.

You never heard of the exploits of "Eric the Pink"?

While I agree with your sentiment, I did chuckle at the irony...

The decision that these folks make is beyond enormous. There is so much riding on it. There is not a good reason for our university to miss out on the climb to tier 1 status. The next president will be the person that takes us there, or fails completely. In the meantime, hopefully Mr. Rawlins will not flub the whole thing up. Our love for UNT athletics is obvious, and I absolutely believe that athletics are the "window to the university"... but there are slightly more important things that the next president will need to tackle if we're to obtain tier 1 status. Neglecting athletics will be a terrible mistake, but growing our endowment/research funding, fostering a better relationship with alumni, raising academic standards, and hiring the best faculty possible are all a little more important than our beloved athletics.

Olekaibe shows as committed to Fresno State as well. We're running out of options for the last 2010 scholly. Maybe coach should beg Collin to come back!

Much deserved after a spectacular turn-around by coach Lama and the ladies. Kudos coach!

Since the conference re-alignment talk will not die, and the participation has slowed a little, and everyone else seems to have provided a perfect solution; I'll go ahead and throw in my dream conference scenario: THE AWESOME CONFERENCE School Division: UNT UT A&M OU OSU NCTC Entertainment Division: The Office HDTV Sir Mix-a-lot iPhone Shiner Bock Medium-rare steaks No member can join the conference unless they can field competitive whirlyball and ski-ball teams.

Harden needs to show up like that for the remainder of the season. No more walking 1/inning, and he'll make it out of the 5th, his ERA will shrink, and the Rangers will win his starts more often.

I probably don't need to ask this, but did you ever try the sweet potato pie? I'd take a bullet if I could have an RJ burger & sweet potato pie.

I've actually saved a World Burger and on the 10th anniversary of RJ's untimely passing away, I will auction it off on Ebay. I'm thinking the reserve price will be around $5,000 but I'm not expecting that to be a problem.

This! I think hosting H.S. playoffs will be a fantastic way to recruit/show off to many who wouldn't otherwise consider UNT.

The University of Chicago was in the big 10, but dropped out a LONG time ago.

OK. You can count me as one of those who do not know what racial profiling is then. Can you clarify? Here's a hypothetical situation... lets work from this: A hispanic male is pulled over for speeding in Arizona. He speaks broken english, but is a U.S. Citizen. Should the officer ask him for documentation of residency other than a drivers license (which could be counterfeit)? If so, and it is provided, then what? I believe the citizen can challenge the municipality in court, correct? Is that not racial profiling? In the same situation, 99.9% of the time, white/black folks will not be asked for this info.

So "Phil Steele" is Debbie's pen name... like Mark Twain? I knew that name sounded bogus.

Technically, he's still returning (just not at the same position).

Yet he patronizes LA-La by calling them "Louisiana"... Weird.
