This is an awesome and genius idea.  Build relationships by helping now, then sell all the damn furniture in Houston once the rebuilding starts.  His kindness will come back to him tenfold.

At US 290 and Tidwell when they were doing water rescues of up to 2,000 folks in 1 day Hilton furniture donated there panel trucks to take folks from 290 rescue point to walmart parking lot. Then City and school buses transported folks to George R. Brown Convention center shelter. Most everyone in this area have pitched in relief effort. Friday night the owner of Houston Rockets donated 10 Million dollars. Yesterday Walmart donated 20 Million and tons of supplies. Many other have made donations of all sizes, and all donations are needed.

As someone has been very critical of Mac in the past this is an awesome gesture and I'm proud to call him an alum.

Really hoping the university can rebuild their relationship with Mac not that the Dickey situation has blown over and RV is out. 

[greenjoe]

Very impressive.  Thanks Mac. 

[Rowdy]

The man is amazing!  Great Texan and human being.

I wonder if he will ever come back to openly supporting UNT again or if the Darrell Dickey situation just burned that bridge forever...

I don't know Harry, I think the DD HOF invite is in part to soothe that wound.

Speaking of that announcement, you could sense and see the awkwardness of the radio guys announcing his induction the other night at the radio show. it was weird.

For all of you oldtimers like me, GOAT is not an insult.  Slang dictionary says that it is short for Greatest Of All Time...the highest accolade of praise.  

It used to mean the "butt" of a joke and I wondered why 24 would refer to him as such.  Instead, he paid him the highest honor and I heartily agree.  Mac is a great humanitarian.  He deserves our praise and I wish that we had him back whether he ever donated another dime or not.  Just a kind word about us would do.

excellent of him to do this.
