Want to bet she never takes a cell phone to school again? I wonder if the schools in Saudi Arabia need "parental permission" before administering corporal punishment? You think? How this sort of stuff can go on in today's world is beyond my scope of imagination. Dark Ages stuff indeed. Effective it might be, but overkill at it's most egregious.

The US has considered Saudia Arabia to be one of our best allies in the middle east for many decades. At the same time, anyone who cares to read reports from human rights organizations should know that it's the most socially repressive governments in the middle east.

So what was that line from Casablanca.

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.

I guess those were rollover minutes

Ok that was mean and uncalled for. If that was my child they would have to kill me before those lashes ever took place

Elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, Wahhabists are buldozing parts of Mecca in fear that the ancient places could give rise to idolatry, which remainds punishible by beheading.

The public school system went down the crapper when they took corporal punishment out of the equation.

Agreed.

I wish film theaters would institute this sort of punishment for patrons who answer their phones and/or texts during the movie.

Its called a "movie" not a "film" you Francophile, left-coast elitist.

In case you were blaming the public school system for corporal punishment going away, it was over-protective-helicopter parents that took it out of the system.

I wasn't assigning blame in any direction, just stating fact.

---Not going to disagree... but one of the reasons it happened is that there were too many cases of school personel overdoing it and abusing the situation. It wasn't commonly done but a few bad apples messed it all up.... That and the fact that some parents think their kids are angels and should never be held accountable for their actions.

---As for parents, I have talked to too many of them that were so blind that could not see their kid was a total jerk and they then caused the school problems when the school tried to do anything about it. My personal best story on that was a Mom who kept telling me (and others) what a fine Christian boy she had and that we were just picking on him..... less than two years later he was locked up..... for vandalizing a church.. LOL.... He has made several more trips since. I wonder if she if remembered all those discussions with us and what we were telling her...

You should not talk about Adam James like that.

Adam James quit on the church, or Leach is Jesus?

Adam James didn't land on GMG. GMG landed on Adam James.

      EM thanks the UNT fans

      Tulane and UNT were the only AAC schools to lose their starting QBs for the bowl. That's the difference. Mestemaker played a great game. I think a *healthy* Chandler Morris wins the game. That's just me. Mestemaker made great plays for sure but there were also several deep misses early on. Before the Coleman TD, he was 3/8. He found his groove then sputtered some then picked things up again. I hope he stays and I'd love to watch him start next season. On the flip side, we played a 25 year old QB who started all year for Texas. There's no substitute for experience and continuity. I don't think this loss indicates in any way we're stuck in neutral. I think it shows how well this staff identifies and develops offensive talent. To compete in your bowl, you either need a senior QB, a loyal QB, or to get very lucky like we did with Mestemaker.

      UNT Basketball Faces No. 21 Memphis

      MEMPHIS — The UNT men’s basketball team faces No. 21 Memphis on the road Sunday afternoon aiming to earn the program’s first road win over an AP Top 25 opponent since their 79-73 win at No. 15 Louisville on Feb. 27, 1971. Tip-off Sunday from the FedEx Forum is scheduled for 4 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and on ESPN. North Texas (10-3) is coming off a dramatic 78-75 conference opening win over UAB at home on Tuesday. The Mean Green made an 18-point comeback and senior Atin Wright sank a game winning buzzer beater to give UNT’s fourth straight victory. Sunday they face a nationally ranked Tigers (11-3) team that played one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country and has beaten three nationally ranked opponents so far and earned the nation’s most quad one and quad two wins. North Texas beat Memphis, 76-66, last season in Denton in their only meeting of the year. Sunday will be the 25th all-time meeting between the two schools but the first time they’ve played in Memphis since 1983. North Texas and Memphis were both in the Missouri Valley Conference together from 1966-74. UNT left the MVC after the 1974 season and went independent. After Sunday’s road game the Mean Green return home to the Super Pit on Jan. 8 to host Rice at at 8 p.m. CT. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or atticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      Let’s look at those turnovers. The first I put on him, he threw it straight to the defender (I remember saying immediately after that someone HAD to have run a bad route or fallen down for the INT to be that easy) The second one was a fumble when he was hit from the blind side after literally nobody tried to block the blitzer…a theme, by the way, during this game of defenders running free. Hard to blame the guy when he’s trying to keep his eyes downfield to make something, anything, happen to keep us in the game. The third one was a desperation heave with (if I recall correctly) 8 seconds or so left in the game with no timeouts. Again, not sure how much I knock a kid for just trying to make a play there. The bottom line is this. A kid who was making his first start since he was a high school freshman was asked to carry our team in a bowl game…and he damn near pulled it off
