  1. Never thought I'd see these two mentioned in the same sentence.
  2. I don't believe anyone called you a name, we just choose to disagree. The problem is that the war tends to become an emotional subject.
  3. Burt Reynolds, Jerry Reed, Fred, Sally Field, Dom Deluise(sp?), Jackie Gleason! Uh, who was in Fast and the Furious? Vin Diesel, whatever Smokey and the Bandit rules this contest.
  4. Nope. Soundman, That is a great tribute to your Uncle. Many thanks to your family that has chosen to serve our country. My prayers are with them for safety in the war and a safe trip home.
  5. Well, I happen to agree with Zeke on this one. Here's something to ponder tonight: Has anyone had the opportunity to visit the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C.? It is an awesome depiction of how Hitler came into power and then abused this power by committing unbelievable crimes against different classes of people. What he did was horrendous, and this museum would not be here if not for these acts. It should serve as a reminder of what an out of control ruler can do to innocent people. Well, if we let Hussein continue to rule Iraqi there would be another museum built in the decades ahead to remind us of the terrible deeds he ruled over. Check you history books folks. Everyone wanted to turn the other cheek on Hitler and look what happened. Hopefully, we are stopping history from repeating itself. May God bless our troops, their families, the innocent Iraqi citizens, and America. Thank you Mr. President for making the tough choice and being a leader when others were afraid to.
  6. Thank you Brian. I was getting heated at some of AFLAC's statements, and didn't want to be held responsible for the words I might have typed. BTW, treat him just like the duck in the commercials gets treated, and he will get frustrated and walk away.
  7. related to Steven? No seriously, could you give us a rundown of the recruits you have signed, their position, incoming class, strengths, current team, stats, etc...? Also, who do you see as the "diamond" of this class and who is the sleeper?
  8. Great news Coach, and we all look forward to supporting our newest women's sport. BTW, does anyone, besides me, see the irony in playing our games at DENIA park?
  9. Erskin has been battling injuries for most of the year. ut was hopeful he would come on in the post season, but it doesn't look promising for him.
  10. And to think, I was just getting used to being referred to as a child molestor by the folks at the Helmet Project! These are awesome.
  11. OR, Notre Dame will find out how good they are!
  12. Thank goodness we already have the Super Pit and aren't waiting on the Denia HO's to approve this building. Seriously, the Super Pit is the best college venue in the Metroplex and should be a drawing card for us. Now we just need to fill it up on a consistent basis.
  13. It looks to me, strictly just an outsider's view, that UTA is headed for the crapper.
  14. My point is that Denton, the businesses and citizens, have not supported UNT throughout the years. My family came to Denton and UNT (then NTSU) in 1965. My mom tells the story of them getting being excited about their first football game at NTSU and arriving 2 hours early to guarantee a seat. Well, lo and behold, when they arrived not one other person was in the stands! It has been that way for years. With almost 100,000 citizens, 30,000 students and over 100,000 alumni, filling Fouts should be easy.
  15. Too bad it took her 2 years and roughly 60 games to figure out "what turns her on."
  16. BTW, I'm still trying to figure out why the other thread was closed?
  17. UNT and Denton can point fingers at each other all day long, and it is not going to get us anywhere. Oh, and before you spout off about people living outside of Denton making comments, I lived in Denton for 27 years, the son of a UNT professor, Chairman of a Department, and Dean, so I have the historical knowledge to backup my views. The climate that currently exists was created over many years of neither institution supporting the other. The main culprit in all of this was Denton, so the hard feelings that UNT has are well earned. Show me one example of how Denton has supported any of its educational institution's athletic teams through facility upgrades/enhancements! Denton is just now getting around to building a suitable football facility for its public schools, only after every community surrounding it has done so. I played baseball at Denton High, and our field was easily the worst I played on. Did DISD ever do anything to improve it? No, not until the last few years when they realized what a disadvantage their students had against other community's students. Sure, UNT's athletic department should solicit more involvement from the community's citizens and businesses, but after 113 years of futile results, don't you think UNT wonders why they put forth the effort? Shouldn't the long term businesses be able to figure out who to contact if they want to support UNT? True, we have to keep trying, but like someone said earlier, "If the girl keeps saying no, go looking for another." I think PMG's idea to sell UNT to the Lewisville community is great. Maybe then Denton would again realize it has fallen behind the times, and jump on the bandwagon at the last minute! I'll step down now
  18. I will add this one point regarding the move of Fry Street Fair and then move on. I did mention earlier that Denton should work to keep the Fair in Denton, although the Fair is not my "cup of tea." I would place alot of the blame on the Delta Lodge. Look at their history on the UNT campus. First they were the Sigma Alpha Mu chapter until their national organization yanked their charter for hazing and other ridiculous stunts. In fact, I think the main reason they were discontinued was because they were an embarrassment to their national organization. Next they became the Delta Lodge and procede to run their house on the corner of Fry and Hickory in to the ground. I seem to recall a motorcycle hanging from a tree for years! I don't think their behavior won many fans with the Denton community. I know that when I brought friends into town, they would ask what that place was. This "counter-culture", as the gentleman that wrote the editorial in the Daily calls it, was nothing more than a bunch of people wanting to stand out and be different from the rest. Maybe if they would have tried to work a little harder with Denton on managing the Fair, then Denton would have been more receptive to keeping it. I know this is a change of heart from my original post, but the more I thought about it, the more my feelings reflect what I just posted.
  19. 23! I think I already forgot that year.
  20. It was 106 at the Baylor game two years ago at the end of August. I can imagine what the temp will be at some of these games. It's gonna look like a giant Zima commercial or Sierra Mist commercial before they are through.
  21. She may be sucking in, but there isn't much fat on those abs! Besides, the point of the post was that she gave a shout out to the Mean Green, not what she was doing with her abs. I would also like Green Grenade's assessment on this, plus his assessment on anything else he deems worthy.
