George Carlin died of heart failuire. I saw him in Vegas just LAST WEEKEND. I think I was his target audience.

This is very sad news to me.

He's either standing before God going "Ohhh, sh*t!" or he has transcended into a frisbee on a roof.

Maybe he's just in "the lost pile."

He's my all time favorite stand up comedian.

And, even though I never met him...I know several comics who did...and they all said that he was a great guy. I always heard that he was very supportive of young comics.

He'll be greatly missed.

it's a short list of comedians who stay funny and relevant for 40 years. Amazing career.

EagleD, did everything seem business as usual at the Orleans last weekend?

Yeah, I'd say he was right on. He had a bit he was working on about how popular music today is unoriginal. He needed crib notes for that bit, but other than that it seemed as though he was just riffing. I've seen enough stand up to know he had it pretty much rehearsed, but it came off well. He apologized for the crib notes, but after all he was in his seventies. Even at that age he didn't seem feeble. As I stated earlier it seemed I was his target audience. I can't repeat much of his act. Most of it had to do with thinking for yourself. Oddly enough he had a long bit on the after life, or the absence thereof.

This morning NPR ran an interview with him from a few years back and asked what he'd like people to say about him after he dies. He said, "Oh, George Carlin. I just saw him yesterday." Strangely, for me, that is true.

Next to Bill Hicks, and Chris Rock, he may be the biggest comedic influence on my life.

George, we hardly knew ya. You will be missed.

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      NIL was a horrible idea that continues to destroy competition in sports I don't see how anyone blames this mess on the athletes. Sure they are going to do what is best for them, perfectly understandable. The NCAA should fight NIL, but apparently the leadership is a lot more interested in protecting the status quo and players than to listening to the fans.

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      I don’t believe Vito hates UNT. Why should he sugar-coat the truth in his articles? Just win will help. I bet Vito hates participation trophies. Good job Brett!

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      Vito is lost in sports writer hell. He lives by the standard that it is the job of sport writer to be neutral. I imagine he is as tired of covering NT as a lot of NT fans are tired of his coverage. He is lucky in a way that the DRC is still one of the few newspapers that still exist. He has won a lot of awards, not only because he is a competent writer; but there is little competition.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things.
