Can somebody tell me why an entirely funded $1 billion highwway project will turn into a damn toll road.

It seems like every new road or highway that is going up is becoming a NTTA Toll road, when is this going to stop.

The way things are going I bet new driveways into retail businesses will some how manage to charge a toll.

Thank God for tollways. Let's me get my Mean Green on so much quicker come gameday!

If you hate paying tolls you hate Mean Green.

4 lanes (2 in each direction) will be toll lanes and the rates will be vary depending on the amount of traffic. I just hope they tell people how much the toll will be if they take the toll lanes.

Seems like there is an option to pay no tolls, if that is the case then I don't really mind it as much. It is up to the driver to decide if the time savings are worth the tolls and if they don't want to pay them then they don't have to.

If we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls.

It is getting a tad bit old, isn't it? ...and in the case where toll roads are paid for with tolls, the toll booths remain LONG after the road is paid for. Taxation is taxation, no matter what hidden name you put on it.

Look at Dallas Tollway. The toll was promised to be there only to pay off the highway itself. Once paid it would go away. That highway has long been paid off.

Give the government an inch, and they will always, ALWAYS, take a mile. Taxes always expand. Just about every tax starts out as a "temporary measure", and just simply gets extended again and again until it becomes permanent. I recently forgot to pay my $2.30 toll from the 183A tollroad in Austin (bill got buried under some paperwork, completely my fault). I was 15 days late and was informed that my new total was $17.30!!! So, a 600% penalty for being a half month late!! Just another way to get in your pocket.

I really hate that toll roads are making inroads into Tarrant County, the last major county in Texas that is toll free.

This is why the government controlling health care scares me to death.

Exactly.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I can’t get over how the offense just dies all of a sudden. As soon as they lose (or can’t establish) a rhythm they’re obsolete for an entire quarter and a half. (Ex: Memphis when the defense actually held and made them go 3 and out multiple times before the flood gates opene; Army when they couldn’t do anything the whole game; ECU and the abysmal 3rd quarter; heck even against Tulane they were only up by like 3 before the end of the half and got super lucky with multiple short field positions due to mistakes). The statistics for the offense feels hollow. Super explosive but no capability to sustain a slow, clock bleeding drive. Which means short time of possession and longer time for the defense to be out there. I guess live by the air raid, die by the air raid. (And they’ve been consistently dying)

      ****OFFICIAL ECU vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      S.O.S. We made too many mistakes…we didn’t play complimentary football…had our chances…I could’ve called a better play to help us out…defense gave up too much…blah blah blah. It’s the same excuses he puts out there the past 5-6 weeks. Seems to me that all goes back to coaching. All of this is a product he created with his environment and culture. This is what you get when you have a coach that’s inexperienced and doesn’t know how to get out of funks. No proper adjustments and make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      Didn't he come in a play or two after the DPI call on the 3rd down pass to Conwright? I agree with you though that it was bizarre. I was searching for him on the sidelines and wondering why he wasn't in the game. It's a complete head-scratcher even after sleeping on it.

      Honest tactical question here…

      100% yes. This is the Achilles’ heel of the air raid system. To win consistently with the air raid, a deep defensive bench is needed to keep fresh legs on the field. Otherwise while the offense is high flying, the defense is absolutely gassed come the 3rd and 4th quarters. No disrespect to Mike Leach but I’m over the air raid system. I want to see us run the ball, dominate the line of scrimmage, control the clock, and allow our defense time to rest so they can in turn make stops. This is complimentary football.
