  1. We have had some great players to watch...but none have been more enjoyable than BOOGER! He was truly amazing.
  2. MeanMag, I read some reviews that hinted at the same advice. I'm still exploring it. Sports is REALLY why I got that particular set, but I used some slick BS on the woman.
  3. My player last year was Joseph Miller...heart of a lion but succumbed to the injury bug. Graduated and I wish him well. My heart will always be with the big nasties on the line. Particularly this year, that is where we need to git'er done! My selected player, and one who I think will be a difference-maker, is Shavod Atkinson. Haven't met the man yet but I think he has the qualities we need. SHAVOD ATKINSON Mark it down!
  4. My bedroom TV is a 720p, gangrene, and I don't see much difference for most programming...thanks, now I know why. I DO notice the difference between 60 Hz, 5ms response time and 240Hz, 2ms response time when NASCAR is running or a ball is in the air. DVDs are really sweet on the new rig though; still haven't gone to BluRay, which is supposed to maximize the set's capabilities. For now, it is 1080p upconvert.
  5. I have AT&T Home Entertainment which uses DirectTV. They USED to have the ESPNU in their extra-cost "Sports Package" , according to Wikipedia, but they signed an agreement with DirectTV this July and DirectTV has put it in their "Choice" and "Choice Plus" packages. It is channel 614 on my set. I'm in Richardson.
  6. Thanks for the Wikipedia reference. That explains why it just showed up on my DirectTV last month. I didn't even know it was there until I saw that the game with BS was going to be on ESPNU and looked to see if I had it. According to that site, it will not be in HD. Pity. I just bought a Samsung 1080P 240 Hz TruMotion so I could enjoy more TV football this year. Researched for about three months before I pulled the trigger, by the way. I recommend it to anyone looking to buy a new set.
  7. ESPNU has the look and feel of the other ESPN flavors. I have been watching football re-runs from last year on it to be sure it was good. Can someone explain the different ESPNs? I thought it was just another channel they hatched to show more games.
  8. I'm a little bit apprehensive, anxious and excited. My nuts are on the line as I am hosting a game-watching party including some Longwhorn sympathizers for whom I have also bought tickets to the Army game. This is my attempt at converting souls! If we stink it up, I will never hear the end of it.
  9. God bless Cheri and my prayers for her recovery. As to the job thing, all I can say is that is pretty chickenshit of the department and UNT. I am disgusted by it. I am glad that you are seeking counsel and I hope she has recourse.
  10. I hope this wasn't just a case of mouthing off in the heat of a scrimmage. When it is so damned hot, tempers flare and people say things they don't really mean. If he really earned dismissal...well, thanks for your prior service and adios.
  11. Eaglette and I will be there.
  12. It is always darkest before dawn, my friends/fellow sufferors. There are several signs that things will be better in critical areas but no solid evidence/performance to back it up YET. This program has been snakebit on and off the field for a couple of years and I FEEL that this is the year some things turn in our favor. I had green milk on my shredded wheat this morning, so I'm going to boldly (BOLDLY) predict 5 wins against 7 losses. Anything less will be really disappointing.
  13. "Oh, God! OOhh Godd!" An underrated post, Sir.
  14. EXACTLY, JD. A crime like that creates psychological injuries. There is a profound feeling of being violated and insecurity that can be created. Property crimes are not victimless crimes in that sense. There IS something on that "Top Ten List" about stealing, I believe.
  15. What strikes me about this crime spree is that he must have done tons of surveillance prior to each job. Either that, or he was just lucky. If anyone drills my door when I'm home, the roach will check in...but he won't check out!
  16. Gentlemen: You are both congratulated on attaining another milestone! I will sacrifice one ice cold Shiner to each of you this evening. Have a great birthday. Tom
  17. "&*()% YOU !!! That's NICE, man...NICE! If you really want to insult someone, say "UN-&*()% YOU!!!"." - Lenny Bruce, 195?
  18. VERY sad news indeed. My heart-felt sympathies to the members of the Hall family.
  19. Don't let those guys disparage your age, John. You smell like a FRESH one to me! Happy Birthday!!
  20. They may be "passed away" after those body bag games! This year they are playing the Winnetka Brownie Troop 7 and the Little Sisters of the Poor (as they should). But could they really be able to be competitive with NC State, Tennessee and Navy (they got a multiple home-and-home deal!) in just a handful of seasons? If they are, we should hang our heads in shame for our own futility.
  21. Flyer has busted the jerk! This is the type of oily self-promoter who weasels his way into a circle of people with a minimal donation in order to peddle expensive products to naive consumers. It is all about his own profits. The Bernie Madoff school of thought.
  22. I'll be there with Eaglette in tow, before 2:00 p.m. Also on board will be some Shiner in a can.
  23. JJ leaving is probably going to happen SOME DAY...I just hope it won't be this year. He has just gotten up a head of steam with our program and we're poised to be getting to post-season on a somewhat regular basis. His stock is only going to go higher, IMHO. Please, let his well-deserved step up come a little further down the road.
  24. Guys, I have been around long enough to know this stuff happens. Calipari, you made the decision so take your Kentucky job and do well. Just don't try to play one school off the other. Smacks of "whore" to me. Does anyone else besides me find this kind of behavior distasteful?
