Rick, the title of your post is "Supporting the Longhorns and other $ schools".
Are you implying that A&M is not a money school?
I'm willing to bet you have some other emotional attachment to A&M. Whether it's a friend or relative who went there, maybe it's a military thing, I don't know, but you defend A&M a little on this board. And that's where a lot of us are coming from. I hold a wierd allegiance to Penn St and Joe Paterno, I always root for Army over Navy, and I grew up in burnt orange. But ask me who my team is and the answer is always, "Mean Green, baby!"
Summed up best, "Don't be a playa hayta."

Rick,
I have to say I think that is the most incisive, well argued post I've ever read on a message board. Good job, sir. I only disagree a little. But it also reaffirms why I watch Boise, or UTEP or (insert sbc school here), because they have to try harder.
I do love TX/OU, FLSt/Mia, etc. It's a big explosion! And nothing would fill my life with joy quite like seeing North Texas in the middle of one of those parties. And we're getting there, but don't hate those who have, after all, that's what we want.
GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!!
Tell me the truth. When A&M plays Texas, are you a closet Aggie?

I still am not sure whether the situation was cute or creepy.
Creepy...yeah, a little creepy.
Ahh, Denton.

My math requirement was a 5 hour Trig/Pre-Calculus class. I dropped it once, and failed it once. On the third try I went to math lab every day, and really busted my butt to learn the stuff. As our instructor was passing out the final exam he held up a little drawing of a skull and crossbones, written underneath it it read, "You can run, but you can't hide from Math 1610". Nice and calming, huh? I struggled through the test, then got to the last page and didn't understand a damn thing on the page. I filled out what I could, then wrote a nasty little note about not learning the last page of material.
Thinking I had flunked again, I walked out of our classroom situated on the 3rd floor of the language building, kicked a chair down the hall and yelled out , "F....................". They probably heard me outside.
I made a 'C'. It's the happiest 'C' I ever got. The strange thing is, I really like math. I'm horrible at it, but I like it.
On a side note, my required PolySci class was a taught by Dr. Bush. He said on the first day of class, "I'm going to teach this class with a republican bias. I encourage debate, so if you have a problem with any of this I suggest you find another prof." It was one of the toughest, yet fun classes I ever took. I got to go in and debate politics with my prof for 1 1/2 hours every T/Th. This class is the only place I ruined a curve on a test. It spurred me on to make polysci my minor, and I took a couple more of his advanced classes. I made a 'B' in that class, and went back to ask for an A. A cocky thing to do, I know, but I thought, "You never know unless you ask." He said no.

Balance that with this:
Today I was buying running shoes when the attendant, a local college athlete, said how nice the stadium was at North Texas. After i pulled my jaw up off the floor, I realized he meant the track. I can see that, I ran 5 my ass off in that old stadium. Seriously, my ass is gone. Tulsa's offense did hand it back to me a few days ago, though. But i digress...

Major: RTVF
Subsequent job: Television Director. I'm doing exactly what I wanted to do when I went to NT. Directing news and sports.
Minor: Political Science
Result: I yell at my politicians a lot.

I thought we only scored a field goal against OU and that was late in the game. I really don't recall the game unfolding the way you described it. Or am I thinking of another game. Perhaps I am. The game I'm thinking of Hall and Smith rotated out.

Oh my. I agree with Rudy on something. Can someone please check the temperature in hell?

Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results each time?
I think DD may be insane.
Now I've vented. Back to the green kool-aid. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

I am a big fan fan of RV, but I don't like him posting on a fan site. So for that matter, I'm very against coaches doing the same. No matter what they might say here, they open themselves up to critisism by people who may not be quailified to hold their jock strap. Then they just wind up being defensive about whatever it is they said. And that just looks bad. The other thing that bothers me about officials from the univ posting here is how something is percieved when read. For instance, if DD jokingly said Harry doesn't know his butt from a hole in the ground, many people would read that as a direct slam to Harry. Even though no malice was intended, we'd spend days discussing the feud between Harry and DD.
I guess my point is there are proper channels for these people to go through to get their message out, and i just think posting on a fan site causes more problems than it corrects.
For the record, i think Harry can make the disitniction between the two. I'm just speculating here, I don't really know him all that well. For all I know ... see, now I have to apologize to Harry.

Gov Perry is staging a press conference at 11:30 to announce evacuations of the Texas Gulf Coast.

Allen Webb is their QB. He has 29 attempts, 50 completions for 287 yards, with a completion rating of 58.0.
That's actually a completion percentage of almost 200% and that's illegal. What rules are those guys playing by? Can we ammend our rules like that?
-
Because for the most part people had a good time at the game. Well, until the game started. In years past all we had was the game. Now we have pre-game astmosphere, and that does count for a lot.

We need to go out there and get a big name basketball coach with a winning pedigree like FAU and Houston have done.
Like Vic Trilli?

Since i was unable to view the game, (the live video feed did not pan out as I had hoped) I'd like some feedbackon this. DD use to run a play from time to time that had Hall immediatly roll out of the pocket and look downfield. I think it's called a "waggle". This seemed to buy him some time. Did he run this at all with Meager? It seems whatever QB we have will get pressured early and this play seems like a good way of buying a little extra time. I'm no coach, so tell me if I'm wrong, or if this is a difficult manuver to learn for a young QB?

Create a good atmosphere and fans will keep coming back. Losses wil eventually get people down, but if people have a fun time, they'll be back. I guess it's something to stay positive about, but it sounds like a good time was had by most people pre-gaming. I'm very happy to hear that.
GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!
Keep working hard. It's a long season.

1) Hall -- graduates
2) Smith -- died
3) Bylerly -- failed
4) Meager -- injured
5) Phillips -- Walk-on true freshman
Very good analysis. Now explain the young defense. I'm tryin' real hard not to bash DD. But that green Kool-Aid is upsetting my stomach.

As a runner, well... jogger, I'd be the first to pay for the honor of running a leg. Would I have to run down Harry Hines Blvd.?
