  1. Was that taken at the Rec. center at North Texas?
  2. Baseball Also has a link to a more in-depth DRC article.
  3. It is "fundamentally guaranteed" to American citizens of the United States Of America, and immigrants who become American Citizens. What part of that is so hard to understand?
  4. Excellent explanation. Where I live, near that dirty ole "oil industry", the unions are well represented. OCAW, Teamsters,etc. Gets really interesting when the contracts are up for renewal. Years ago in the '70s and '80s, the unions would completely shut down the oil refineries for months, and on a few occasions, a year or more. Don't get me wrong, working in an oil refinery is dangerous. Not only do you worry about explosions and fires, but also the health risk that appear later in the lives of these workers. Cancer, asbestosis, etc. However, if a regular worker spends his entire working life at a refinery, they will end up with, on the average, $1 million to retire on. And that is workers without a college degree. A kid right out of high school can get a two year "process operator" degree and start out at a refinery at around $70K. It could be more now. To you point, as wages for employees go up, employers simply do one of two things: go up on the price of products, or cut the work force. A business owner or manufacturer has to bring xx per cent return on his investment or at one time, it wasn't worth staying in business. You could sell out and invest your money for a larger return. Like you say, it's a vicious cycle that not many understand.
  5. For the good of the SBC, MUTS needs to beat Marshall in the N.I.T.
  6. Interesting to find Jason Bruner on the Pro Day list. Thought he gave up football when he didn't show up for spring ball, or was it fall ball? So much for not wanting to play football for UNT.
  7. Well screw the new trend! They are "marching bands".
  8. Our stadium benchmarks should be South Alabama, ECU, Tulane, and Memphis. I can't really tell about Memphis' seating.
  9. My thoughts exactly. Atari comment, not so sure.
  10. Fixing the sidewalk is the University's responsibility; getting a baseball stadium is the AD's responsibility.
  11. Unless some big donor comes up with a boatload of money, like, $10 mil or so, I think UNT will build a nice, serviceable stadium that will get us started in baseball. Nothing on the cheap like the bleachers we added at Fouts. I wonder if there are already BB stadium drawings in the works? Maybe when the official announcement is made the AD will began a campaign for donations. Harry, we need a "UNT Baseball" section added to GMG.com.
  12. Is there a remote chance we could get an NIT invitation?
  13. Slight correction. They are the Bridge City Cardinals, not to be confused with the Port Neches Groves Indians. BC is just across the Neches river where I live. Worster was considered one of the finest "wishbone" running backs while at UT. And yes, UNT did get screwed in 1968 against the Razorbacks. I witnessed it first hand.
  14. Harry, can you give us an updated date and time when the RV podcast is going to happen.
  15. One would think that our local beat writer, Vito, would provide some information on Junior Day at UNT.
  16. Do you all realize that Tony Mitchell blocked 3-4 shots, possibly in a row, in the last 1:30 minutes?
  17. Not sure how we can squander an 18 pt half time lead. But we did.
  18. I agree. You older guys should give them a listen.
  19. Damn! Thought this was a mid-term linebacker we signed and I didn't know about him.
  20. Since Joe Biden supports contraception, seem to me the Catholic Church should excommunicate him. I hope His Excellency, The Pope, signs off on that order.
