UCF...? Anyone else get the idea that we'd be sitting in a skillet by putting that thing under our Texas sun? I know, I know, it's doing fine in Florida. Didn't they have cases of heat exhaustion in their first game?

I'm not so convinced Okie State is an expected favorite over them.

Not trying to downplay what Mr. Hill may mean to us next year, but weren't Roman's numbers out of California similarly outstanding? His highlight reel was amazing.

I wasn't trying to make a case for any general criminal. This is about people that get into your house with the intent to steal.

It's a reflection of how much the voters have been opening up to the idea of an underclassman getting it. You have a hard time believing it? What's the problem, 20 TDs passing and 20 TDs rushing aren't enough for ya?

I'll cut your throat and not think twice about it later? It can't be so cut and dry. I'm not defending their (these deceased robbers) acts, but there were cases when I was growing up where guys got stupid on a dare and broke into a house with no intent but to win a bet and make their parents furious. They weren't killers, they didn't become robbers...they were just being stupid. No way they would have ever raised a knife or pointed a gun. I still haven't heard a valid argument for Mr. Horn.

Can't really argue against Tebow. I think McFadden had a better case last year.

I was actually thinking of cops in that situation. Maybe Emmit can elaborate on that (or maybe not...I don't know). What a hazy line we debate! Defending your life and the person next to you is one thing, taking the life of another in the name of property seems different. What he did might seem honorable and the right thing to do, but IMO this honor will be a fad and someone will be left wondering why their loved ones were taken from them. I wouldn't be thrilled if my neighbor did this for me, I'd be upset. Say they (robbers) WERE armed and he missed, these thieves would probably turn and shoot. I certainly don't want my neighbor dead on account of my property.

Regardless of how you feel about the crime, the law has very specific guidelines about how we use our guns. And I believe there are situations where you don't shoot to kill, you shoot to immobilize. I don't know all the details, but I gather a few things this guy has against him that you need to consider: 1) they were running away. He chased them to shoot...and kill 2) there was no evidence that they were a threat to his safety. I think the law says you can NOT shoot unless you know they are a threat? It might not matter if they're in your house, but this is different when on someone else's lawn. The bolded statement is a blatant, knee-jerk over generalization. This guy was hoping to get these guys from the get-go. I wonder if you'd be speaking differently if this situation played out exactly the same with a couple of 120 lb females instead.

I'm not a bball expert, but is it weird that we score 31 points from the free throw line in a game against a zone defense? Getting to the line so much seems contradictory to what the zone allows.

Can't go wrong with Hells Bells. Plumm = Bon Scott?

How about billionaires and NBA owners that happen to use our facilities? nevermind him... Of course I can't defend any argument with numbers, but I saw a couple things in person this season that made me really wonder how many potential "medium" donors UNT has waiting in the wings. With 4 times the alumni base, we should be able to match. Would someone agree with me that our situation has been more because of apathy/administration? Winning would cure that.

Beautiful

Mingo man!

I stand corrected. The Big XII championship was in San Antonio (WITH RETSO'S SIGN). I was thinking of the Mizz-Kansas game the week before.

Anyone keeping track of these names? Lets plan a thank you letter for these folks when we pull off our first game attended by 50K.

I wish Roger would have elaborated on what he thinks UNT's situation is.

Austin refs suck...where have I heard that before?

A couple thoughts after watching the UT game: 1. Team needs to come out determined not to get into a hole. Determined to not be out-hussled. 2. I thought UT's ball movement was so crisp compared to ours. I hope the team goes "OH! We can do that!" and does so 3. Full 40 minute game a la what Emmit explained 4. Show me improved offense against a zone. 5. Better on-the-ball defense. Seems like that's disappearing these days?

Let's pull for the DD-SMU hire. That way, next time we play at Fouts we can bring the fiasco full circle and wear WHITE jerseys.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I love watching WVU play. That offense is so fun to watch. How is their stadium intimidating? Also, if we want to throw around stadium ideas, I think the Big12 championship was played in Arrowhead? Garsh that facility was gorgeous on TV. 'twould be nice to have something similar in our own backyard. I never cared for the angular look. Something more rounded like a bowl.

If you really want to word smith that quote, you can speculate whether the new stadium will actually be ON campus. What would they do with Fouts?

I like to think I have 3rd generation NT green in my wardrobe. Makes me "esteemed" that way.

Or disguised by an utter collapse in pouring rain. I'm not saying, I'm just hoping lol Did anyone here actually witness the FIU game?
