To all of you tailgaters...Pick up your beer cans and throw them away, and go INTO the stadium when the game begins. GMG!!

...and although he was not a personal favorite of mine, LBJ was actually very effective at getting his agenda past Congress.

Call it "powder green."

Eagle91Gator95....Looks like I'm not the only one who doesn't like our new "softer, gentler" green. They should never have changed our school colors without consulting alumni, faculty, or students. I, for one, will continue to wear the color of our current uniforms.

The uniforms are fine. Thank GOD they are not the wrong color!

I was in Lubbock for that game. Stayed in a hotel across the street from campus. When I came down for breakfast the next morning wearing my Mean Green gear, I was glared at. Loved it.

Can anyone forget the six sacks of Chris Simms in Austin?

Booger Kennedy.

Thanks.

...from this morning's practice/scrimmage?

I saw him on the sidelines.

I was relieved to see that the NT Bookstore is still carrying last year's shade of green. I saw the new logo on the old green. In fact, there is as much of it as there is of the new kelly shade...which I don't care for.

Let me clarify...they did not CHANGE their shade of blue, they simply gave it a specific number, (maybe blue 54?)

As of this year, the University of Kansas has an official shade of blue, and the letters 'K' and 'U' must be configured in a specific way.

It's the wrong color.

The current music building was never a dorm. I was a Green Jacket in the late 60's, early 70's and we had to memorize all of the dorms. I lived in Chilton Hall, which housed the sororities. Yes, Chilton, Marquis, Terrell, Oak Street Hall, Kendall and Bruce were dormitories. The current music practice buildings on Avenue C, and Bain Hall were three of four halls that made up the Quadrangle, also called the "Quads," which were student housing. The athletes lived in the Quads for a while. Clark Hall was the newest in the late 60's, then Kerr was built.

The Union Building was referred to as the "U.B." in those days. Great coffee cake upstairs. The post office and the "University Store" (not the UNT Bookstore) are still located in the same place, by the way, but my post office box, 11667, is no longer there due to remodeling.

Thank goodness is right!!!

I'm sorry...I meant "pinned," not "posted."

Thank you, Coach. Could this be posted? "It is only hours away from being exactly one year from the tragedy of losing Andrew Smith. I still think about what happend all the time, it is still heavy on my heart. I once again will ask everyone to make the best of what happend to Andrew and learn from the mistake he never had a chance to learn from. Last fall during Red Ribbon week, I wore his jersey to school and told all my classes about him. It made an impact on the kids because it put a name and a face with the consequences of drugs and alcohol. It also showed that nobody is immune from the consequences no matter how talented or well known you are. I intend on doing the same this year as well. If it can help someone avoid a similar situation, it is the only solace I could imagine coming from the tragedy of a year ago. Keep his family in your thoughts and prayers, this will surely be a tough time for them." #12

Finally...someone agrees with me about the "new" green. The hunter is much more attractive. I personally do not buy the argument that our dark hunter green did not look well on television. TCU purple looks positively blue on my TV, but you do not see them changing the shade. Further...no one asked the student body, the faculty, or the alumni if the color should change.

Some of us will continue to wear the hunter green as a matter of choice, because it's more attractive.

Thanks for the "heads up." I missed it the first time through the sports section.

I noticed that James Battle (?) from Denton Ryan has left TCU. He said he plans to go to SFA, but I wonder if he would reconsider if a Division I school from his hometown asked for his services?

...because they choose to ignore us.
