I don't see any reason why not.

North Texas 'fans' are really good at ostracizing each other to prove they're the best fan. The core group who everyone centers around on this board is an absolute disaster, for example.

Opie & Anthony brought on coach Jimmy for this. It was great.

You guys crack me up. This is a brand new offense being implemented with players who had a terrible record the past two seasons. Even Nebraska had trouble with Bill Callahan installing his new offense (and that team was 10-3 the previous season). Now they're ranked #20. This season, and probably even next season, aren't going to be all that hot.

We need to get back to the topic at hand. Stop looking like dorks.

This is Spinal Tap Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and... Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten? Nigel Tufnel: Exactly. Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder? Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven. ________________________________________________________ Collateral Vincent: Someday? Someday my dream will come? One night you will wake up and discover it never happened. It's all turned around on you. It never will. Suddenly you are old. Didn't happen, and it never will, because you were never going to do it anyway. You'll push it into memory and then zone out in your barco lounger, being hypnotized by daytime TV for the rest of your life. ________________________________________________________ Fight Club Tyler Durden: Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch? Tyler Durden: Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off.

Is it just me or is the grandstand further away from the field than Fouts?

I meant towards the original topic about Denton getting a Staples and a Circuit City and some shopping centers. Like somehow that officially brings Denton out of the dark ages.

Why are national chain stores opening such a big deal?

Considering how poor the MAC and CUSA are as well, I don't really see why they got off easily. In general I agree with the sentiment, but it's not limited to this conference.

Most of Garland was the hood long before the DART rail ever got there.

I really didn't understand why that company bought the mall in the first place. Almost all malls in DFW, short of destination malls like Stonebriar, Northpark, and the Galleria have been losing business for years. I grew up going to Richardson Square Mall, and I've heard that's now completely shut down except for the Super Target and Sears. Everything is moving to outdoor stripmalls like the 288 developments and Rayzor Ranch. If I had to guess, the whole mall will be razed within 5 years and replaced with one of the largest super walmarts in DFW. Not something that would be pretty at all, just seems very likely. Personally I always liked GTM. I do hope this doesn't affect the 288 shops at all, as they're too new to be empty buildings. Outside of that, the idea of having a shopping area in Denton that's better than anything within a 30 mile radius can only help to keep students in town, and to create more reasons for people to come to Denton on game days. Also I like that it's being built on the north end of town, and hopefully Denton will expand that way instead of continuing south and creating the image of yet another suburb of Dallas.

At least there aren't any expectations there.

Especially with a homer reffing crew that completely screwed the tempo of the game in the second period. After being on the wrong end of power plays for 9 out of 20 minutes, I'm surprised they could even get to the locker room standing up.

I'll hold out for one that's just the SOW.

The pitching is still terrible, and the outfield hitting so far has been terrible, although Lofton and Sosa have been coming around. I don't think this is the year, to be honest, but that won't keep me from hoping. I think if they can pick up Torii Hunter in the offseason, as well as get a top starter through trade or FA, and have a little SP talent come up through the minors...maybe. What I'm worried about is that after this season we'll see the infield broken up in favor of some horrible trade, like the one that saw the Rangers give away Kevin Mench and Laynce Nix only to get back Nelson Cruz (Carlos Lee is now on a ridiculous contract in Houston). I don't remember the last time the Rangers made a good trade.

No one's denying that it's a great opportunity, but if I were UK, I wouldn't replace a 10 year coach with a fly by night like Gillispie.

The guy is a great coach, but obviously trash. How long will he be at Kentucky before some ACC, Big East, or NBA team comes calling? I would've gone with Mark Few.

2k is putting out a football game this year, All-Pro Football 2k8. From what I remember, it's going to have retired players (not part of the NFLPA). Also I'm sure it'll only be a matter of a day or two for someone to recreate the entire NFL roster easily transferrable using this. Also NBA 2k7 and MLB 2k7 are ridiculously great games, and more life-like than I thought would happen this early into the cycle of next-gen games. If anyone has an Xbox 360 or PS3 and doesn't have these games, they need to get them. On the topic of EA, you do have to hand it to them for NBA Street Homecourt. Great game.

$1 million? From what I remember, it looked like the basketball program was being taken care of with a gold Mastercard.

I think we should add "From Denton, TX" below North Texas on the helmets. You know, just to make sure people absolutely know who we are.

I never found any place in DFW that carried them when I was looking for them.
