  1. "Selling Domain Name: Unt.Me" "Karl Benson wants my other sign"
  2. Final Reminder about tonight's watching party at Lavaca St Bar and Grill There will be Prizes. There will be food and drink specials. There will hopefully be a Mean Green win.

  3. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/8494091/writers-roundtable-our-experts-answer-five-big-questions-midnight-madness 5. Is there one sleeper player or team we should jump on the bandwagon for? O'Neil: Tony Mitchell and North Texas. The two go hand in hand. If Mitchell can be the player many suspect he can be, the Mean Green will be a big sleeper worth watching. Originally targeted for Missouri, Mitchell didn't have the grades to make it there, so he ended up in the Sun Belt Conference, where he averaged 14.3 points and 10.7 rebounds as a freshman. Plenty expected him to jump to the NBA -- his raw athletic ability alone made him worth the risk -- but he opted to stay, even after his coach, Johnny Jones, bolted to LSU. Don't be surprised if Mitchell doesn't turn Denton, Texas, into a college hoops destination visit this season, much like Isaiah Canaan lured folks to Murray last season.
  4. Thanks for the support guys! FYI here is the link for the event: http://untvsullbbaustin.eventbrite.com
  5. Just letting everyone in Austin know that I've reserved the back room at Lavaca St Bar and Grill for our game against ULL on ESPN2. Its a great bar with solid food and its their Tecate Tuesday- where $5 will get you a Tecate and a shot of Cazadores Reposado tequila Lavaca St is at the corner of 5th and Colorado. Its a great place to watch game, and the wait staff is friendly in their customer service and easy on the eyes as well. *edit the $5 shot and beer is actually $4 as their manager told me last night
  6. I don't know about you guys but I used to do the dirty while doing my homework on a Sunday. I liked killing two birds with one average sized stone.
  7. I'd much rather hear Harry and Evan's take on why DT can't convert simple pass plays than Romney and Obama's take on why either of them are better at converting bulls*** to real ideas
  8. So I was debating this with my buddy last night.... if the Rangers lose tonight (even though they still make the playoffs) does this count as a "collapse" like the Cowboys every December?
  9. 26. Prime age. But you need to learn who to go after who doesn't want marriage. They don't play at Robertson Stadium, but they are called cougars, and lord knows they run the spread effectively (TMI?) You can find them three wide at martini bars, or in an I-form at a charity event. They are usually accompanied by linewomen known as Bertha, Roseanne, and Shaniqua. They like men over 55 who can regale them with stories about the ABA and Woodstock, and men under 30 with ambitions that don't remember what it was like when a typewriters were used to compose papers. Their clock is not ticking but their glass is low, and they are looking for guys like you, Green Jackal, to fill it up.
  10. to be fair... the conference slate is a bit stronger...
  11. made out with this girl last night, asked her sister out (who owns the bar a block from me) about 45 minutes later. Sister says yes, then an hour later realizes I just sucked face with her sister. Asked me why I would do such a thing I reply "sometimes you just gotta have it... even if it is in the middle of a busy street corner"
  12. I'm really pumped about renewing our series with Cameron.....
  13. hey just heard from an NT source (hes got AD contacts) that they are having a hard time getting the last game ironed out. He's hopeful its going to drop soon
  14. every single sun belt school has released theres, as well as every single d1 school in Texas other than us. This is sad.
  15. We worry about the likes of UTSA and TXState as they put butts in the seats and pick up signature wins against opponents We worry about our inept offense on Saturday that may have scared students away when there was so much potential on the horizon We worry about predictability of the offense and our lack of big plays We forget it took Hayden Fry 3 years to post a winning record, and he had even less wins in year 2 than year 1 We forget it took Johnny Jones six years to get to the first NCAA tourney since 1988 after 5 mediocore seasons (look at us now!) We forget that there were 21k people there for TROY- yes it was family weekend, but show me the last time we had 20k for a Sun Belt team (FAU in 2009, that was homecoming) Football wise, my four years at UNT blew (2006-2010) so much to the point where I attended only 2 games in 2010 (thank god I'm a basketball fan) But unlike the last regime, I see signs of life in the second year of Mccarney. I like what he's building, and it can only get better. I look for a 2014 upset of Texas. Austin alums, if you still believe join me October 16 to watch the game (Location pending) , pound some brews, and see ESPN commentators butcher our great universities name
  16. Yes, I hear we will be running "throwback" plays as well, like "Screen pass on 3rd and 17 from the UNT 10 Yard line" and "RB draw on 3rd and 10 from the 50" as well as wearing commerative black jerseys
  17. I heard the 2013 home schedule will include games scheduled at Apogee Stadium... is this true?? Can someone confirm?
  18. Tuesday, September 18, 2012, was a big day in my life. Not only did I run out of the peaches and chipotle cheese that I bought from H-E-B the week and a half before, which caused me to open my fourth case of Texas peanut butter for a nice afternoon garnish, but I did something I thought I would never do in my life. I joined JDate. The term “JDate” alone makes some cringe. It evokes the scene of Jewish mothers, sitting together at a Mah Jong game, conjuring up creative adjectives for profiles unbeknownst to their sons or daughters, setting their children up for a date filled with more awkwardness than Kris Humphries at the Kardashian family reunion. It’s a guy that may or may not look like a mix of Seth Rogan’s body type with the social skills of Brick Tambland that is trying to make himself sound like a member of the Rat Pack, or a girl who swears she’s outdoorsy, when all she really means is she likes to watch the Real Housewives on her apartment porch, iPad and cold drink in hand with an apartment view of the local bar scene. So I definitely exaggerated on that last paragraph. Point is, JDate , like most dating sites we see commercials for, is intimidating, especially being that its business focus is one small demographic. While JDate can essentially be equivalent to Craigslist casuals in places like New York City, Los Angeles, and Tel Aviv, the problem arises in cities with smaller Jewish populations, where your “matches” are essentially the men/women you go out with on the weekends, with little hope of actually dating, or having an interest in dating them. “Wait!” You say. “Why did you join JDate then, being that you live in a city with a smaller Jewish population than the amount of kids in Octomom’s household, and where most of the Jewish girls already know you from your partially witty status updates and not so romantic photos on Facebook?” Simple. JDate allows another side of you that isn’t your Facebook. Yes, my JDate profile does resemble me in that it’s slightly sarcastic, mildly over the top, complete with conjured up rap lyrics that would make even Tupac jealous, but it is serious as well. It signifies to some women “hey, I won’t use verbs that I found from synonymous for howtomakemelookandsoundlikeaaronrodgers.com, and am a little off-base in how I come across, but also serious in being someone women would want to date and have a relationship with.” Yes, some of the women in my small Jewish town might read it and laugh, but others may say “Hey, I never knew this side of him, maybe I’ll give him a shot”. This works both ways, when guys view girls’ profiles as well, even though many of us take one look at the photo and simply click “No.” Even better, for some folks that aren’t exactly Shakespearean in their word diction, there’s a “flirt” option, which allows for slightly cheesy dialogue that is sure to make the opposite party crack a smile and maybe give an emoticon back. Being that I’m a paid member now, I tried this button twice on two different girls. After 4 days it has not worked, probably because A) when I flirted at the time, I had no picture, and had the term “body paint myself for UNT football games”, which probably made the girl think I was grossly overweight with more chins than the 2006 graduating class of Shanghai University and C) an overzealous sports fan with a hardcore alcohol addiction from August 30 (Chick Fila-A college kickoff) to February 3 (Super Bowl). Or they didn’t like a 24 year old. Either way, the flirt button is a great tool for those too scared to compose an e-mail. What about those IT guys, whose eyes are constantly staring at a 30 computer inch monitor all day chatting with angry customers on technical support? Well never fear, you can chat real-time with people. Yes, for those in small communities, you’ll see that 95% of the JDate women online are from New York, Maryland, or Los Angeles, but when that person from your small Jewish town gets online, it’s a great chance for you to show off your words per minute speed and make an impression on a girl who might not have viewed your profile before. I might’ve gotten in trouble on my first day on JDate, since I was IM-ing women in New York about how the Giants are a horrible football team, but regardless, this option allows those a reprieve from daily work activities and a chance to make that online connection that wouldn’t have happened if you had just been talking to Ramesh from Outsource Inc all day. And heck, one day, with the right opening IM, that woman who you’ve been eyeing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, might get back to you with a follow-up emoticon. All in all, JDate is an adventure, which is why I signed up. One year, less than $200 (50 cents a day really) with a chance to meet a bunch of new friends, or meet the person you spend the rest of your life with. It’s a low-risk, high-reward proposition, unless you’re the type who has a penchant for screwing up dates or conveying a false online persona similar to the man described in the Brad Paisley song. Will I have these same feelings about JDate on September 18. 2013, as I’m gearing up for a Cowboys Super Bowl repeat? Stay tuned.
  19. I estimate that GL2Greatness will probably not be there
