Gents and ladies,

First, I know this isn't football related, well it kind of is, you'll see. So please admins allow this because I think everyone will get a kick out of this. Thanks in advance Cerebus and Harry.

I was married in mid-July in Chicago and what a day. Backtrack a few months and I mentioned that I wanted a groom's cake and she didn't really know what that is coming from the Midwest. Come to find out that a groom's cake is pretty much a southern thing which I didn't know. She had never been to a wedding with a groom's cake. Anyway, she finally agreed and I said I want a North Texas football helmet. Of course she instantly said no. We talked about it multiple times but she said something about that being kind of trashy and lame. So after protesting to no avail I gave up and said whatever.

Fast forward to the wedding reception. We make our entrance do our first dance and whatnot then cut the cake. We cut the wedding cake and I don't see the groom's cake and I'm like what gives. After we cut the wedding cake I ask her what we do next and she says wait. Next thing I know I hear the D.J. say it's now time to cut the groom's cake so everyone please stand and then I hear the first note of the single greatest fight song known to man! That's right the North Texas fight song is blaring over the speakers and out of the back they wheel out the groom's cake. IT'S A NORTH TEXAS HELMET!!!! It doesn't end there though. My wife printed out the words to the fight song and put them on every table so EVERYONE in the reception hall is singing the North Texas fight song. It doesn't end there though. The bridesmaids all had green and white pom poms and were shaking them in the air. But that's not the best thing. My friends had contacted my friends in the athletic department and the athletic department donated to them AN AUTHENTIC GAME WORN JAMARIO THOMAS JERSEY!!!!!!!! One of my buddies brought the cake out wearing the jersey and an old NT helmet that I have that my mom shipped to my wife!

How amazingly cool is that? I was speechless. From the first time I mentioned an NT helmet my wife said no, knowing full well she was going to do that for me. And in her style, she went over the top with the fight song, printing out the words so people could sing along and then the authentic jersey. I now have to get it signed and framed!

I felt like a dork though because at the reception I kept telling my friends that I couldn't wait to tell the guys at GMG.COM.

Unfortunately I have no pictures yet. We haven't seen the professional pics yet, but I know the photographer got tons of the cake and my friend in the jersey and even some of me with the helmet on doing the Heisman pose. Anyway, when I get them I'll post some for sure.

Bottom line is that my wife blew me away with this and made my wedding day that much more special.

It was awesome and thanks for humoring me on this!

She does all that for you and you return the favor by dragging her to Lost Angels? You're a horrible man.

That was the grooms-cake from Sound Man's wedding back when the script was on the helmets. It was truly an incredible piece of work.

That's completely inappropriate. WIth those dated helmets, you'll never connect on the long ball. Pony up, sir.

Wow... You are a dork. Most people can't wait to seal the deal, but Patrick can't wait to impress the other guys....

Congrats on the getting the girl.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      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?
