  1. We have not had a rival since East Teas State way back in the thirties and forties. We tried to have Memphis and Tulsa as rivals in the old MVC, but it didn't work. We have a chance at rivalries now if we can just do it. Good attendance at in`state contests will certainly help. This week`end is a good place to start so get to town early and be in your seats for the kickoff.
  2. I predict ( or hope ) 19-20K. Could be much more with proper marketing involving the A Train. More about that later. I predict (or hope) 20-22K. Could be much more with aggressive marketing involving the A Train. More about that later. Sorry for the double rely. I have been off the board for awhile.
  3. Well hells bells, oldguystudent. Excuse my young ass for living. If I had KNOWN you got a B in that nationally known architectural treasure, I would not even have considered wanting a law school there. Only two B's you say? Don't worry, we won't hold your remaining C's and D's against you.
  4. Remember, Hayden Fry would have been a hard act to follow for anyone. One must admire Moore for hanging in there. Congrats.
  5. Not to mention student athletes and finals and all that. What a ration of hypocritical garbage. Good news - we are getting a baseball team and playoffs are in the summer. Why don't the colleges just go ahead and sell their football teams to Jerry Jones and the other owners and let them run their own farm teams? Of course, that would be the honest and ethical thing to do and money got in the way of honest and ethical when it comes to college football a long time ago.
  6. I agree, hickoyhouse, Brandeis University and law school are relatively new (1948) and started from scratch. Of course, UNT-Dallas Law will not be Brandeis for a while, but it's a start. I think the UNT letters on old Dallas City Hall , a wonderful and historic old building by the way, in a booming downtown Dallas is kind of neat. .
  7. Have they cemented the deal? Is it set in stone?
  8. Someone told me once that it was Weselyn that backed out of this deal. Whatever, we should have had both a law and engineering school a long time ago.
  9. I went to to website and it showed the old Titche's building. I thought the law school was going to be in the old Dallas City Hall building that the city of Dallas donated millions of dollars to renovate. Renovating and using that venerable old building has always been a major appeal of having a law school there, whatever the name. Harry, if you (or anyone) has any information on this, please let us know.
  10. How about a soaring Scrappy flying off with a frightened, dazed and confused Peruna hanging from his talons?
  11. It's supposed to happen, but things are sure quiet around old Dallas City Hall every time I go by there.
  12. Me too. I know Austin is cool, but there are few places hotter during the afternoon in August/Sept. than Austin, Texas. The good news; Mac always seems to have our guys in top physical condition. They will need to be.
  13. This is great news and a long time coming. As I wrote in a previous post, we need to get schmoo involved in the DCTA/ DART thing. I want to see a lot of their fans at Apogee every year that we play at home and vice-versa with us at Ford. It is time for the Safeway series to give way to the A- Train series. This could be a real event every year and this could be the year we sell out Apogee. Long distances or short, trains are fun, convenient and SAFE. GMG!

  15. Smaller size could be an advantage on a hot August night Austin if it wasn't for the depth factor. I'm hoping for the best, but they can reach a lot deeper for fresh players than we can.
