BREAKING: Lamar game may "possibly" be cancelled per Lamar HC
MeanGreenTeeth replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
Sure, but those things I would think, on the whole, work to UNT's advantage. UTSA might concede to it since rescheduling Houston looks very very dicey otherwise. -
BREAKING: Lamar game may "possibly" be cancelled per Lamar HC
MeanGreenTeeth replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
Since UTSA/Houston is cancelled, I wonder is there is some way to swap dates so that UTSA/UNT play this week and we play Lamar on the UTSA date. -
Ahhh. I didn't realize the game was being televised. I overlooked the little beIN sports logo.

I live down in Austin and since I won't be able to come up to Denton for the UAB game next month, I'm thinking it might be fun to crash the Texas State/UTSA game. Anybody else thinking about going?

I see someone gets all their information they need on the topic from the videos on their Facebook feed. I'm sure that information is completely accurate and unbiased. I still haven't seen anyone go on the record here. Should statues of Jefferson and Washington be taken down too? If not, why not? What is the logical distinction? The vast majority of confederates soldiers never had a slave in their life. Surely folks who had large holdings of slaves are more worthy of contempt? I mean.. there is no way this is just a made-up issue the left came up with to get folks agitated could it? Remember of all those confederate statues coming down when Obama was president?

People made statues to them because they were heroic. These were people's friends and family members who were defending their homeland. Sure, at a macro scale the trigger point of the war was slavery and the South was clearly wrong and paid dearly for that despicable choice. However, just because the war means something to the political class, it doesn't mean that it meant the same to your average mountain-boy in Tennessee who enlisted or was conscripted into the war. We have large numbers of diaries from Union and Confederate soldiers and slavery is almost never mentioned as a reason for the fighting for either side. You have to remember that most folks in those days (particularly in the South) identified themselves as a citizens of their state primarily, so calling these folks "seditious" or "traitors", which seems to have gotten really fashionable on the liberal boards these last few years, lacks historical context. Now... I don't have a problem with taking down confederate battle flags, given their history with the Klan in the 1920s-30s, but tearing down statues of confederate soldiers and taking down the "stars and bars" at Six Flags is just plain stupid and reactionary. This is a modern day Byzantine Iconoclasm. There is no logical place for this to end. Do we tear down statues of Washington and Jefferson as they were slaveholders (and traitors to their mother country as well, btw).? Do we tear down statues of Roosevelt due to the Japanese Internment? What should a "true American" do?

I hope all of you giant babies* are proud of yourselves. Pretty soon we'll be pulling down the statues of Washington and Jefferson. I have no doubt that will happen within the next 20 years. *sorry. I've been drinking. I've made this nicer... :)

You'd think out of 32k undergrads we'd be able to find someone who could walk-on and boot a ball a respectable distance.

What is generally considered a good punt distance for a college punter (assuming they are punting deep)?

UNT System selects sole finalist for Chancellor
MeanGreenTeeth replied to Cerebus's topic in Mean Green Football
Hmmm. I'm hoping she's good and all, but the "Deputy Associate Administrator" of a relatively minor federal agency seems like a very odd choice. Nothing against her, just was thinking we would get someone a little more high profile. -

I bet if he was 10-3 last year instead of 5-7 it wouldn't have mattered how many escort services he called. -

Moron. Sinbad wasn't in Shazaam. That was Michael Clarke Duncan. You're thinking of that Berenstein Bears movie. -
DCTF Top 50 Impact Players - #6 Mason Fine

Fine needs to work harder on getting taller. -
Despite both entities being large public schools in the state, they don't really compete for a lot of the same students. Awareness of UNT isn't very good in South Texas and the awareness of UTSA in almost nonexistent in the North Texas region. It's hard to have a rivalry when the student populations are pretty ambivalent towards each other. Of course, that might change naturally with time. It would help if both programs got a lot better quite frankly.

Oh wow. Are those guys from 2 years ago going to come back and play (or will we see more of the unranked 8-5 team). I didn't say there were bad, I said they were mediocre because they are.

I wouldn't consider Iowa a bodybag game. They're pretty mediocre.
