  4. I am, by no means, a fan of Baylor. In fact, next to SMU, they are probably my least favorite team, but this should not be held over the school. This moron made this choice on his own time and should not reflect on the university.
  5. Prefer Mr. Orr, but going to throw another name out there and let you all comment. Marcus Trice @BeGreatEight
  6. Didn't Seth hire these two? Good luck to both of them. I am also excited to see what Reffret does now that the D is all his. I am sure the kids liked Ek's energy, but I have always enjoyed hearing Coach Ref speak on episodes of BTG. Comes across as a "coach's coach" meaning he is just a good old hard-nosed coach.
  7. No, Steve's family was from Denton.
  8. The descriptions of Parrish remind me of when we signed Awasome. Athletic, long and with a frame that he could grow in to over time. Turned in to a NFL caliber player. Hope the same for Mr. Parrish.
  9. All true. I learned more about taking care of customers from them than anyone. I still call them for advice when I have an issue at home. The post office is there warehouse. There are hallways in the attic painted black that have "lookouts" in certain areas. I guess the postal inspectors spied on their employees. One of my favorite stories from working there happened right after I started. In the back of the store was a 4' x 8' piece of plywood with nails about 3 inches apart all over it. Hanging from the nails were keys, probably thousands. I asked someone what all the keys were for and they said, "Oh, those are the keys to some of our customers homes. They just call up, tell Mrs. McNeil what they need, and we deliver it out to their house." We delivered to many a house where nobody was home. That was the trust they had with their clients. I'm telling you, pay a little more and buy local from McNeil's. They are the best. Okay, enough memory lane. I would love to get up to the surplus sale some day. That place looks like a fun spot to dig around in.

  11. McNeil's has been there over 75 years. They celebrated their 50th when I was there in about 82. Charlie and Virginia McNeil owned it then and their daughter and son-in-law, Steve and Pam Grimes, both worked their along with Charlie's stepmom Gladys. Their son Steve was not actively involved with the store. Charlies's father started the business by selling/trading Maytag wringer washers out of his old Model A truck. Charlie married Virginia, who's family owned Ball Furniture and they combined the businesses and the rest is history. I think Ned was Charlie's brother but he was not involved, at least when I worked there in the 80's. Great family and you will never get better service. I have a million stories from working there. Love that family and the employees that are like family.
  12. Wow. Guess I am getting old. I worked for his grandparents and was evidently gone before he came along. I stop in when in Denton if I can, but haven't in abojt two years. Awesome people and a great store. Buy from McNeil's! His Dad must be Steve. Steve didn't work there when I was there, so I didn't get to know his wife and kids.
  13. And, there are probably underlying factors to why he has waited. My guess would be #1 of those factors would be, based on the AD report, that he needed to be financially prudent and wait until he was able to hire a permanent replacement instead of an interim that would win maybe a few more games than Benford.
  14. I worked for McNeil's in high school. Had the opportunity to grab a couple off of old washers. You didn't happen to take that old car hood, actually a VW Bug front trunk hood, to McKenna Park, did you? I remember some people bringing one up there on a snowy day. They lined the inside with old pillows and we loaded up as many an possible in that thing. It was a blast.
  15. I thought TWU was still all female undergrad.
  16. Yep, or the lid off of an old top load Maytag washing machine. Nothing like ceramic coated metal on ice.
