Green Jackal

Although on the surface it may have appeared that Rudy achieved his dreams, in reality he only perpetuated his father’s own inexcusable behavior. You see Rudy was a movie about a kid who was desperately seeking the approval of his father. He wanted to play for ND because his father was a huge fan of ND. The climax of the movie is when his dad finally goes to a ND game and sees his son play in the game. His father was an SOB who loved ND more then his own son who he largely ignored. Instead of trying to resolve the relationship with his father directly, he decided to feed his father’s own narrow mindedness by trying to become someone he was not.

I've been driving all over DFW today and it is not bad on the highways. Just leave yourself extra travel time.

I have an extra floor seat for tonight's Men's game if someone wants to sit down there. The first person who sends me a PM can have it. I will give it to you at the game, just before tip-off.

I will forgive this team if they pull out a win tomorrow at Denver.

Well ok, since bourbon was involved we'll let you slide this time. In the future the Basketball Tony Mitchell Board may not be as forgiving.

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars? Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man. Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time? Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money. Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks. Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do. Peter Gibbons: Good point. Lawrence: Well, what about you now? what would you do? Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time? Lawrence: Well, yeah. Peter Gibbons: Nothing. Lawrence: Nothing, huh? Peter Gibbons: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing. Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do sh*t.

I think their actually used to be such a podcast. It was called the "Fruitcake Basket" or something like that. Anyways, it's been weeks since they put one on so I'm not sure what ever happened to it.

What do you know about spelling bee champions?

They are moving the Student Union to the Galleria? Lee Jackson is taking this UNT - Dallas thing to far. What's next, moving Willis Library to the West End?

I think this was intentional. The interview was about Texas Universities (not just UNT) getting tier 1 status. I'm sure KERA didn't ask him to come on the show just to promote UNT. It's like when you are invited to speak at an industry conference, you can mention what company you work for, but you are really suppose to talk about something that impacts the whole industry. If you just talked about how great your company is, they won't invite you back.

They showed him during the game giving the camera the thumbs-up, then they showed the same shot of him again during the game highlights at the end of the broadcast.

We need to send emails to those stations encouraging them to cover UNT basketball.

Or maybe Denver having the week off could cause them to be a little rusty when they play us next Saturday. It could help or hurt them.

It wasn't hacked, someone just set-up a url that was similar to the offical site. It was never on the official site.

Ignore the dog known as Denia. Her bark is louder than her bite.

They carried the Kansas v. Nebraska game this afternoon. Nebraska almost ended the Kansas home winning streak which would of moved UNT's up from #9 to #8 in the country.

Does Harvard play smarter basketball than the non-Ivy League teams?

Thanks for picking-up the slack!

The article states that they are digital billboards. Meaning there is virtually no cost to create them and you could rent them for a very short time frame. The cost is much lower than a traditional billboard. Money well spent since more people will see them on ESPN.com then in Ohio.

Happy B-Day!

Just how good of a time are you talking about?

Until TCU agrees to play us in football and basketball, they can go pound sand.

Their coach had a lot of things to say to the refs last night. He accused the refs of turning the game into a free through contest "just like last time" they came to Denton. That's when they gave him the technical. George and Hank were having a good time with it as were the students who kept yelling "Sit down Bob!".

Actually my father-in-law went to OPSU. I invited him to go to the game tonight, but after seeing what we did to LSU, he declined.
