MEAN GREEN CLUB GIFT8

[jdennis82]

Each year, I look forward to what the MG Club sends me.

Nothing gets me fired up for football season quite like a letter inviting me to join.

I posed the same question (for a different reason) just the other day to a Fort Worth police traffic officer. He told me that technically Texas and Lone Star State were not supposed to be obscured, but he doesn't know of anyone who has written a ticket over the issue. He said that it was his opinion that it was just another legal excuse for an officer to pull you over if he/she has any suspicions about you, but there is no other obvious reason to legally do so.

I heard that rural police dept's were writing tickets left and right on this because it was an easy ticket, and they were under pressure to bring more income into their city coffers.

I'm not inclined to berate anyone who was instrumental in getting that beautiful stadium going. Everyone is all excited about APOGEE stepping forward, as well as other people/organizations stepping forward to make to make donations. But I never lose sight of this basic fact.....no student vote....no stadium..... and no future income stream for higher profile coaches.

And I didn't mean it to sound so negative. I did say that money staying in the program was a positive thing.

But there is no doubt that the benefits are getting wittled down - no more gameday party deck, reduction of gift value. Maybe one can look at it that the gifts used to be really nice in an effort to get people to stick around.

My post was intended to be just an observation of how things are changing at UNT. Policies will be changing as well. 99% of it is for the better and the other 1%... well, we will all just get used to it.

The benefits to the University and the student athletes haven't changed. That's the true gift.

Rural PD's work alot of traffic and equipment violations are great stops. However, I don't know anyone who has written for the obscured LP when it pertains to a LP holder. At least noone writes for it unless the driver asks to be written for it.
