It's no longer thier mascot and was only for a few years way back in the day but Longview High School has the distinction of being the only school with "cannibals" as their mascot. As a graduate of LHS I'm glad they changed it to the Lobos. Other than that I've always thought "Tar Heels" was odd. GO MEAN GREEN! (Actually, "Mean Green" is kind of piculiar too.)

I'd say homecoming. It always seems a little bit "specialer".Football schedule

So who's writing to the newspaper paper about the glaring error on our 1A status? I would but in the words of Eric Cartman, "I am soooooo pissssed off right now!"

I too was a bit miffed when I heard about the Maher interview, but then I thought of Darrell Royal who graduated from OU and of course is the legendary Texas coach. So I'm trying to understand.

[ I don't recall too many players just leaving the team due to grades in the middle of the year.] Not for us but, P.J. Tucker, the starting point guard for Texas, lost his elligibility at the winter break. How do you flunk out of Texas when you have tutors for every class your taking? And that's what's done on the level. Who know what really goes on. That Texas team is not the same w/o him. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!

This game was on tv here in Austin (Cable Ch. 77) and I had no idea until my brother called me at halftime to let me know. What a game, and I'm exhausted. I get up VERY early for work, but managed to stay up for this. The pit lookED good, but the crowd turnout was dissapointing. I'm also not a big fan of the logo on the court. I hope we can pack it for the tourney! GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!

We had open looks at three pointers but failed to hit them. I don't know what our shooting percentage was but it had to be low. In the post game press conference the two players (I forget who they were) said we just didn't try and settle into our offense in the first half. We were just throwing shots up that had no business being in the air. Texas guards did play tough. They were in our face all night and got a few too many steals. We need to handle the ball better. Does Cooley still post? I'd like his take. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!

I'll step up. I criticised DD 4 years ago. ('00) I called for his job, loudly! 3 years ago ('01) I quieted down some, but remained vocal about playcalling. 2 years ago ('02) Not a peep from me. He had a great defense (Oh, DeLoach how you are missed) to bail him out of his run first, run second, draw play third (wait that's a run too), offense. Plus he got screwed from a few officials (Arizona), had his qb go down, and still managed to win a bowl game. I was very proud of him and the team that year. Last year, ('03) the critisism he got for alternating his qb's was deserved. But at least his teams came to play every game. And he still had a dominating defense. The team was not focussed for the bowl game however. Now this year ('04). Injuries, off field issues, and Drew. The Texas game was a travisty and every bit of griping was deserved! There was poor play calling in the FAU and Baylor games, and Colorado killed us even though we got to see the emergence of JMo. Has he done a good job since then? Yes. I give him big props for recruiting and using JMo. I also give him big props for not giving up after starting 0-4, but did he deserve the bashing early on? You bet your sweet ___! Does Mack Brown deserve the bashing for losing to OU 5 straight years? Yes. Does he deserve credit for Saturday's come from behind throttling of OSU? Yes. It's a 2 way street. I haven't been critical of DD latley b/c we've been winning, but this team was NOT prepared early in the season. And that is his responsibility! I'm a fan. I'm supposed to be criticize when it's warranted. I also applaud (loudly) when coaching is done right. Would you like to know what I'm looking at next? Have we been developing a replacement for Hall next year? GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!

Yeah, I get my news from "Fair and balanced" FOX news. * *Note-Please note sarcasm.

I can't believe it! A college student smoking weed! Why, I never... The next thing you know they'll be cutting class.

That's good stuff. I'm guessing you'd never see that dorm at TWU. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!

I don't see why gameday isn't at the cotton bowl this week. I know I'll be there. Of course it may have something to do with Mack getting his ass handed to him the last 4 years. There's nothing like an 11am kickoff so you can start drinking by 10am. (or earlier)

Well Plummer, It seems the only people talking at all are the living, unless you have some type of communication to the after life. And if you do, can you ask my Uncle Breezy where he hid that damn treasure. It sure would be a nice start to the stadium funding campaign.

Deep, I'm just having fun. You said it best ... Peace my friend. GO MEAN GREEN!

Deep, So noted. I still find the joke a bit offensive, but I understand your point of view. What else can we talk about? Hey that abortion topic hasn't reared it's ugly head in a while.

I'm not going there b/c I like posting on this board. But there has been a lot of carnage done in the name of christianity. Concerning Reagan ... I'm trying to have respect for the dead. At least for a mourning period. We can debate Reagan once some of the sorrow has passed.

Please delete this thread. If I were to make disparaging remarks about christianity (and I could) I'd be lambasted and kicked off this board. Don't get me wrong. I see the humor. Part of me thinks it's funny. But many of my muslim friends do not agree.

"There ought to be limits to freedom" -George W. Bush Stebo, I'm stunned we agree on something. Just a reminder that no matter what your political affiliation please register to vote and then do so. And don't just focus on the presidential race, study your local issues and choose candidates that meet your ideals. If no one meets your criteria consider running for office yourself. Our government only works with your help. That being said...Isn't this a football board?

Yeah I meant Jason Miller. Sometimes sleep depravation gets the better of me. I thought it was wrong when I wrote it. Anyway Jason's doin' well.

A friend of mine who covers OSU sports talked to Chris recently and is he will be getting married in SA right after the final four. Reports are he's a great kid with and an assett to the team.

Well it looks as if former Longhorn BB coach (Tom Penders) is headed back to the state of Texas. This time it's to coach the University of Houston. I can't think of a coach and a school that are more suited for each other. If we do indeed become conference mates with them, it's nice to know in advance that they will be on probation. Do you think Vic Trilli will follow him there? GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!

In the Texas vs OK St. game Monday night the ESPN color guy mentioned Jason Miller and said "he's a transfer from (pause) the University of North Texas". I almost fell out of my chair b/c in an obscure reference they didn't call us North Texas State. I thought it was funny that he paused. You could almost hear the wheels turning in his brain to get the name of the school right. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!

Halftime tied at 31. GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!

Meanwhile Cheney's "Halliburton" gets the first government contract to go into Iraq and take control of the oil wells. Feel lied to yet?

Article in today's Statesman (Tuesday) says Deg is still battling injuries, but he's well enough to play. He's getting a lot of publicity around here the last few weeks. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!
