  1. That foul was utter crap, Davis was in the air and a a denver player slid under him, before Davis hit the ground and forced Davis to land on top of him, that is illegal, its a blocking foul, not a charge... One foul won't usually win/lose a game, but that was how the entire game was called. Denver had as many FT's at the half as we did the entire game, how does that happen at home?
  2. Its pretty common for photogs to place strobes in the rafters and then remote trigger them.
  3. Where they photo strobes for a photgrapher?
  4. By a cruel twist of fate... I have a final 8:00am Wednesday morning... I may have to skip the game.
  5. The name of this forum is Mean Green Football. I am sure FoxNews or CNN have discussion forums for political debate.
  6. Spidey-Senses... errr, I mean: ~~~Banning-Senses Tingling~~~
  7. From this month's Ask the Commissioner: On Friday, Oct. 25 I was vacationing at the Hilton in Lafayette, La. I must say the players of North Texas were every bit the gentlemen in the hotel. I must say the about 20 to 25 fans, and one they called "coach" and one the called "super spy" were not. In front of the hotel at approx. 11:30pm "coach" (a bald headed, 55ish, gym shorts and tee shirt) was loud, obnoxious, open container of beer, shouting 'let's go to the casino'. He got in a cab with 4 or 5 others, followed by the others in vans.
  8. Its pretty sad actually... Us current students working hard, getting good grades, helping little old ladies across the street... and the alums out there partying like madmen, sullying the reputation of our fair school.... *tsk* *tsk*
  9. I think its a great name... maybe your new radio handle?
  10. JayDub... how could you leave yourself off the list... oh well... we all know the truth
  11. TacoBean, I rarely strongly disagree with something posted on the board, but this is one of the times. Has RV pulled some sort of miracle here? No, has he done a very very good job and I look forward to him being here a long time. A tiny percentage of the student population saw this as "an issue", and decided to go full bore against it, the rest of the student population was just too damn apathetic to go vote, did you see the percentag of those who voted? RV went out and talked to any student group that would sit still for 15 minutes and the alums paid for ads in the Daily to persuade students, the simple fact of the matter is the students dont care enough about the university to shepard it properly, thats why we have administrators. And, keep in mind I am a student as I write this, I wouldnt trust most of the people in my classes to watch my dog while I was on vacation, let alone wiegh the pro and cons and decide on any issue bigger than "you want a beer?" Athletic giving is way up, MGC membership is up, season ticket sales are up. It going to take more than *1* 5 win football season or *1* 15 win basketball season to get people excited enough to open thie pocket book. Given the fact that most students dont give whent he graduate, and most people in Denton dont give a flip about UNT in any sense, then I think what he has accomplished is great. The general consensus among the media people I have talked to is that it looks first rate. I think it looks good, I especially like the 22 or 23 conference championships listed on the inside cover. Those 3 things you listed are HUGE, worth his salary by themselves. Tailgating is a huge hit, and its just idiotic it wasnt in place before. RV has gotten good sponsors to be out thier, has taken care of like gmg.com and the greenbackers, and made it a great place to go before the game. Here is the bottom line, would RV's accomplishments be a huge at aTm? No. Are they huge here? Yes. RV has to fight an apathetic student base, a faculty who can be down right hostile, a town that has ignored us for 110 years, and alums who forget about the school as soon as they get the degree. What he has done is great, what he is doing for the future of the school is even better.
  12. Agree, Roniger looks a little hesitant on his own shot, but he can really get the ball to the open man.
  13. It was a nice surprise to see Kenneth helping with the coaching during the Green-White game, his defense will be missed this year, hopefully he can teach it as well as he played it. Link.
  14. I was dissapointed in the amount of coverage the Daily gave the basketball team this year. Last year, the season preview was an 8-10 page insert that looked really, really good. This year, 1 page.
  15. Before the actual game, I was a no hurricane guy: After the game -->
  16. Shane, if the editors feel it's thier right to make editorial statements, which of course it is, then these guys have just as much right to state thier opinion. You shouldn't feel offended if some here doesnt like the Daily, thats thier right as well. Those who post thier opinions owe it to themselves to make sure thier points are researched and sensical, of course. Even more importantly, I have the right to drink Hurricanes until they cut me off at Pat O's.... Go Mean Green!
  17. Gray, I would like to see channel 2 run by the school, I would also like them to televise some of the FB/BB games. However I think the departments would actually hurt themselves if they left the College of Arts and Sciences, it is the 800lb gorilla on campus. About half the students and half the building on campus are CAS, and pretty much every student on campus has to pass though the CAS core (english, health classes, etc) to get thier degree. Its a disgrace that UNT isnt getting more of the state fund pie...
  18. 10.5 pounds of marijuana! Well... maybe the guy had Glaucoma...
  19. Wow... you do get alot of extras when you get an SMU education: link
  20. Thier big Center Mike Southall and some other players will miss a small part of the season with academic problems: link. Geaux Cajuns? More like Geaux Study!
  21. I think RV would love to add it because of the lack of NT athletics during spring, but there are two things going against it. One, a womens sport would have to be added also to stay with Title IX compliance, and in the creation and upkeep of a diamond and it gets really expensive. Two, if a mans sports was to be added, it would be alot cheaper to add a mens soccer team, since we already have facilities they could use and the scholarship minimum is lower. I for one would love to have UNT baseball as a scholarship sport.
  22. I didn't imply you couldn't read. I implied you foolishly agreed to a document you either didn't even read, or failed to understand. End of argument.
