how do you know of him having NT interest?

I'll take it w/a grain of salt, but have we ever been ranked this low in overall D?

True, Baby Arm: we would love to have fans similar to what ND can claim. But even a Notre Dame subway fan would be put in his place if asked where they graduated from. I think'd it be funny to find that ND subway fan who graduated from, say, U of Tennessee that has only a small UT flag hanging from their wall surrounded by TONS of ND paraphernalia. If it were me, I'd feel a little awkward defending myself if some observer brought that up. -gm

I was perusing the NCAA records here: http://www.ncaa.org/library/records/footba...all_records.pdf and noticed on the 24th page a couple team stats held by Tech: in 2003 vs. Iowa St they set the single-game record for most offensive plays with 111. in 1939 vs. Centenary they set the single-game record for FEWEST offensive plays with just TWELVE. Both records still stand, obviously

I voted for LT...two reasons: I haven't seen many of the others play. I saw him several times, including when he shredded UTEP for 400+ yards in a single game. I never saw him (at the collegiate level) get caught from behind; he is so strong that he'd just swat would-be tacklers off his back. It really is kind of cool to me to see him succeed like he has in the NFL. I saw Benson play in the UNT game where he had something like 49 yards TOTAL. I know he did very well the second go-around with us, however. I just didn't see anything so spectacular about him.

Most complimentary SMU post I've read on this board! My best regards to you and good luck to you Ponies this season.

I looked up Kassel's stuff on ESPN and found this. You can see how he REALLY came on towards the end of the season. He is such a great story. In fact, many UNT players, either current students, former, or NFLers make for great stories. ***chest swells with pride*** -gm

Is that what they've been saying all this time? how komical

There are many aspects of the English alphabet that make our language very paradoxical. It's no secret that our language is very hard to learn for foreigners. C is one of them, and I believe we can attribute its longetivity to the Italian influence on our language. Just go to an Italian resturaunt, look at the menu and see all the different ways you can thank them for the use of C. A more recent example that I can't get out of my head is the latest Jack-in-the-Box commercial for the Ciabatta Sandwich. For those of you who haven't seen it (pretty funny clip), it's pronounced chuh-bah-duh, with all short-sounding vowels and the accent given to the "bah" part. -gm

I had to read that one twice.

ummm...football coverage? j/k

Ladies and gents of MGN: your poll of the year

omg...i gave that original a second look, and then had to actually laugh out loud when I read your reply, greeneagle.

Williams is a proven 'dual-threat, as I understand he has done well catching the ball. Maybe I'm remembering wrong (and Im sure some here will tell you that happens a lot), but Thomas hasn't been asked to catch much this year. Whatever works for the scheme, right? -gm

Carey would have said something in line with: "But, HEY...if they ball were made of green cheese, would 'ja want to score with it, or eat it? HECK, I know I'd eat it."

Mini....exactly 1/8th the size of full-size Ditkas.

Time for some Ditka cliches: You MIGHT get that score...with 12 Ditkas on the field ..driving buses ...and UNT spotting you 43 before the game kicks off

Carry 6 bottles, at the same time?! BRILLIANT! -gm

This thread represents pretty much every reason I would hate to see UNT and UTEP facing each other. Maybe Bob wants to choose a side. I wouldn't. I think if my situation ever came about, I'd know that no matter who wins, I still win. I could only ask that both teams come out of the game with no injuries whatsoever, and that they both are in the midst of a long line of success. No matter what, I'd still cheer for both teams after the game too. The only thing that kind of irks me about Bob here is that he probably hasn't ever even thought about UNT since he graduated, until this game? I don't know what goes on in HIS mind; I do know that in MY mind I have followed UNT since I moved away last August, and will continue to do so even when there isn't a bowl game to look back on the previous year. -gm

They pronounced as if it has Spanish roots: accent placed on the second-to-last syllable, and no "long" vowels. My best representation?: Deh-GRAHT-eh sounded too weird.
