"DD should also take a look at that offense as well." I don't know that I would trade UNT's offense for Utah's.

Coach wasn't hired to be a politician. He was hired to compete successfully in the SBC. He does that. Personally, I wish he would keep the comments to himself but I can't really blame him. Some really nasty things were said about Coach Dickey on this board and in the stands. Coach, his family, and his players hear this crap and it does hurt. Every head coach expects criticism. Criticism is appropriate. What's not appropriate are the jackass personal comments and the name-calling. This has been going on since Dickey was hired. I suspect it's getting a bit old. God bless Texas

"And still, I don't think anyone who is a regular poster here, has actually bashed DD, or would be classified as a DD hater." Rudy, you have got to be kidding.

How can any real Texan root for a California team over a Texas team? Heck, I'll even pull for Baylor if they playing a team from out of Texas. God bless Texas!

"a coach with an 8-25 record would have simply been let go.... (he was actually 8-30" Speaking of a double standard. Stebo, you want coach to forget about the bad times and yet you use every opportunity to point out UNT's record during his first 38 games. Maybe after you let by-gones be by-gones coach will too. God bless (North) Texas!

Stebo, It's not as though the nabobs of negativity disappeared all of a sudden. Some people still want to portray Coach Dickey as negatively as possible. God bless (North) Texas!

Some folks revel in their negativity. God bless Texas!

"... it doesn't mean we have to automatically jump to defending them when they could be guilty." Once more with feeling, just because a person 'could' be guilty doesn't mean they are guilty. You're not obligated to jump to their defense but, in all fairness, let's not jump to the conclusion they are guilty of something other than being in a stupid place at a dumb time. God bless Texas!

"I think we're too quick to assume Andrew Smith is completely innocent in all of this." I thought that was exactly what we were supposed to assume?

It always seems like the loser in a one-fer trade is the team that gives up the best player, in this case Finley. Bad trade unless there's someone at # 7 who the Mavs really want. This is a deep draft, so maybe...

Thanks for the info. I'll see your team in Houston. God bless Texas!

Please tell me y'all play somewhere in South Texas this season! God bless Texas!

Good luck to Corina, her team mates, and coaches. The Mean Green faithful are proud of you all. God bless Texas!

If it ain't football, it ain't a sport. God bless Texas!

96, I thought you were boycotting.

I hope this was meant to be a good-natured dig at a respected fellow member of the Nation. Probably not.

You're right it is too early to say for sure. Each university has been asked to submit a 2003-2005 GR budget that is 12.5% below their current funding. This may mean 200-300 faculty positions at UNT may be lost. Two other scarey things so far: 1) TAMS may be unfunded. 2) Governor Perry has suggested that a large ammount of money can be had by not funding higher education 'special projects'. UNT has a number of these items that may be lost. God bless Texas

Among the 'fat' that may be cut in the current Texas budget shortfall is UNT's Texas Academy of Science and Mathematics. http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/news/legislatur...ure/5364706.htm God bless Texas!

This is an issue which has nothing to do with Mean Green athletics and on which some of us may disagree strongly. Why continue a thread which can only be devisive? God bless Texas!

Okay, so our comedians outnumber their comedians. The biggest question is why did the people of Missouri ellect a comedian to be their US representative? God bless Texas!

I agree that the world would be a better place if S. Hussein were deposed. If the leadership of the United States decides that war is necessary, then I'll support that effort whole-heartedly. I also think the Iranian fundamentalists pose a threat to our safety. The Libyans with Qaddafy are a threat as are the North Koreans. If its worth American lives and money taking out Hussein, then why not these others? It should also be remembered that the most likely source for terrorists obtaining nuclear weapons is not Iraq, North Korea, or Iran. The most likely source is the former Soviet Union. Are you ready to use our military to solve that threat? Let's fight if we have to, but let's think first. God bless Texas!

God bless the soldiers who fight our country's battles. And God bless the protestors who ask if that battle is truly necessary. They both make our nation great. God bless Texas!

Found a great site that compares schools on a plethora of issues, the Princeton Review. http://www.newsdirectory.com/go/?f=&r=tx&u...u=www.chron.com An example of the interesting comparisons is the percentage of students living on campus. UNT = 22%, UT = 17%. Which is the commuter school? God bless Texas!

I heard Norah Jones on Victoria's KTXN radio this morning. KTXN has an eclectic play-list. Its good to finally hear what this Mean Green babe sounds like. God bless Texas!

copy & paste since I haven't the foggiest idea about linking. http://www.newsdirectory.com/go/?f=&r=tx&u...ar-telegram.com Cursor down to the story on Norah Jones. She's a former UNT student and the daughter of Rabi Shankar (sp?).
