I think someone will find a way to pick up the slack Why don't we have free ipods at every game?

I knew it was bait - and I just had to take it to amuse myself. I know you enjoy the debate and wouldn't take it personal. Parcells is overrated for game management (at least lately), but he has built a foundation that had not been in place for years. That team he took to the playoffs in 2003-2004 was just terrible - it was a great smoke and mirrors job. The Cowboys are younger and, with some upgrades and linebacker and tackle, ready to do more. I am not a Parcells lover, but the situation has improved. I think the Cowboys had 8 years of crappy drafting and poor decisions to undo and he has slowly undone much of it. Remember the contracts and personnel a few years ago? Its a shame the Texans have been just as bumbling at building around their talent, because this state could use two good football teams instead of one slightly above average one and a crappy one. The Astros may be fine next year (the Cardinals are getting worse and the Cubs are the Cubs - the Brewers may need one more year), but telling Bagwell to retire was classless. If their ownership had grown a pair and went for it all the last few offseasons they could have had 2 titles. Over all sports, aren't there just 2 NBA titles when Jordan left? Rice's baseball title? WNBA 4 peat (please don't count the WNBA)? Or Dave Tippet's Aeros? Or do you mean like divisional titles and things like that? Still no defending those HEB commercials though

Your right - its a high achieving academic power house program with a ton of accountability on all levels. My bad. My concerns are that this is part of a trend - I know all schools lose players - we seem to lose many. It reflects on a growing lack of dsicipline and accountability that seems to exist here.

No big loss - but they did fail to keep a kid enrolled AGAIN. If this was an isolated case of this I would agree with you that no one failed.

If only we had the Texans bright future.... more skill position players to draft, a losing culture, the boyish good looks of David Carr (along with a goofy HEB commercial), no line....oh wait that was the Cowboys 98-2002 At least things are looking up for the Astros and Rockets... I keed, I keed

I know its over, but have you ever been on a "big time" college football board? If the texas bashing thread makes you blue, its a good thing you stay far away from the SEC boards. A lame, flippant KKK remark (especially by the person who made it) is no reason for outrage....

Full frontal nudity

That's one ugly SOB

When Brian Boitano built the pyramids he beat up Kubla Kahn

I'm sure he'd kick an a$$ or two, that's what Brian Boitano'd do.

Slap fight! Run for cover girls!!!

No we need to hate all teams with more fan support, donors, and better facilities than us - its the only way to grow and earn respect. Wait, that sounds pretty stupid when you say it out loud... Maybe part of the gap is our own fault....hmmmm (please flame me now and tell me how evil the BCS is and how it is what's keeping us down from breaking the top 100)

I think punishing these current kids for the disgusting actions of a coach, AD, and player who are gone can be seen as a bit silly - but what else could the NCAA do?

Thanks for picking up on that ganggreen.... Ken, I'm glad we both agree that OU doesn't matter to us, hence the let the Big XII schools worry about that.

We have no reason to worry about OU. Save that for TT, TAMU, and Texas. OU showed no improvement at all from start to finish this year - I'm sure they'll suck for years and not be able to compete with Tulsa.

You'd also have to make sure chuggy bears who (or whoever does it now) and the people who own the coliseum are on board because the AD controls none of that. It have to be sold as part of a sponsorship and university staff outside athletics would have to endorse it... we know how that goes. (Chuggy Bears would also need card readers and tech for it as well.) Is it worth it or a decent sell for 20 students? It would be a nice perk for who is there and I like the idea, but it seems more for down the road once we reel off a few 20 win seasons.

Will ESPN air a 30 day retrospective on why the Aryan Brotherhood of Montana is the best ever? Can we compare them to great groups from Alabama and Mississippi and vote on whose best? I put Montana by 7.5....

I guess politics and religion are the world's biggest e-brake - ~40 min of silence. Who knew? Oh wait - everyone....

At least he didn't administer the shocker

Just when you thought the thread would die: POLITICS!!!! YEAH!!!!!

Replace UT winning with disliking Dickey or any other topic. That's how the board is about everything. Gotta just roll with it.... All we need is PMG's thoughts on the manner and its like a normal day.

I think you waaaaaaaaay overrate how much anyone in the media will care about it. Think of how ULLAF, Indiana St. and many others got blown out early on in the season by big schools. People look, nod, maybe chuckle or make a joke, and move on. Don't stress, we'll have a "roll over" game plan and it will be over quickly - but painfully. It may be the closest we get to a title game for decades, so we got that going for us....

It has changed the state from El Paso to Texarkana....its like a new dawn of a new era. I'm speechless

Its a good punishment for poor grades. Maybe that can become our new compliance aid.
