Were you drunk when you wrote this?  Instead of a knee jerk reaction to this as you would have to me, I'll simply ask you what gives you any idea to think that the leading cash cow for CLC like tU would give an outside, private manufacturer who is NON CLC licensed, permission to pirate and sell a derogatory product with their protected logo on it out of the back of his car?

Explain yourself and then I'll answer to the rest of your meaningless questions.

Rick,

I was assuming you were talking about the typical Texas Longhorn that you see all over Texas, only in Oklahoma you see them upside down. They are sold that way in OK. Since this is a licensed trademark they had to get permission from UT to sell it. And I'm sure they didn't just give them permission. UT has a history of going after rogue outfitters (e.g. the dred locked Heisman t-shirts when Ricky won it, or the restaraunt in Austin that opened call "Bevo's" with that orange Longhorn on the sign). Ut went after both of them.

I'm sure Texas gave them permission b/c 1. they paid (I'm only assuming this I can't back it up) and 2. they didn't change the logo. All they did was sell it upside down. I'd bet any school in the country would do the same thing.

If you are talking about some other logo or ensignia then I apologize for the confusion.

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!

No problem. Yeah, the guy I referred to was selling them out of the back of his car, 1,000's of them. It was genius, like when Bozworth sold the "I hate the Boz" T shirts in Denver. No one knew he was doing it himself. I suppose it's possible the same individual in Norman could have been tU connnected, but it's highly doubtfull. He was moving from corner to corner and left quickly after he sold out and none of the hats were stitched with any licensing marks. Since it was at a game against NT I am guessing is why he felt brave enough to do it? Who knows.

Emmit, MedPilot and crew had the grill going when the F5 and I pulled up this evening to get things going.  Good burgers E.  And an even better game against the Cajuns.  It looks to me that Michael Southall isn't full speed from his layoff last year but my friend George reminded me he would take a loafer with 10 blocks and 19 points anyday.  True. 

Overall good game.  1-0 in conference.  This team showed some maturity towards the end to hold on.  They still have a ways to go but now they are on a decent run.  You never know but this team could respond in such a positive way to do something really great?  We'll see.

It was also a pleasure to get to visit with one of our past hardwood warriors Wendell Williams.  He came here from New Iberia LA in 1996 and never left after helping Deion Hunter and Tony Worrel take us to our only trip to the big dance back in '88.  He's coaching at Denton High and also helps Hunter teach during his basketball camps. 

Good trip north tonight.

You know for a second I was beginning to think you were at least quasi-intelligent...you've saved me from erring in your favor.

Just as an aside, where were you UNTLifer. Rather than bitch and moan about a tent that I brought to a game to tailgate why don't you come on out and have a burger with us then walk your happy ass into the pit?

I live in Houston now, so being in attendance at basketball games will be tough.

I still find humor in the fact that you are giving the "horns down" sign prior to a North Texas/U-LaLa basketball game. I am also aware of the difficulty finding a green tint. Look, you are pretty critical of fans/students from time to time. Because of this, you open yourself up to criticism.

Being in attendance at basketball games was tough before you even moved to Houston. It's interesting now how you seem to have much more interest in the basketball teams.

I have the same amount of interest now as before I moved and have probably been to more games than you've thought about. Have I attended many the last few years? No, but marriage, kids and other committments kept me away more than I wish. Some day you may understand.

So now, not only am I a liar and unamerican, I'm now a Democrat?  You have gone too far this time.   laugh.gif

Rick

You're too arrogant and self-righteous to be a Democrat. But a liar and thief, you are perfect for the Republican party.

Seriously, though. Do you tell your kids, "It's not O.K. to steal ... unless I approve of it first."?

Yeah, just like the Mayor of New Orleans, and the Governor of Louisiana. Oh wait, they aren't republicans.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
