If he spends 15 hours a week in class, 30 hours a week studying, and 8 hours a night in bed that leaves 67 free hours per week. I sure hope he spends some of that time keeping his basketball as up to snuff as possible.

Isn't asking SMU people to be smart a little much? I mean, look at where they went to school.

I have it on good authority that something may or may not happen that might or might not be a massive dissapointment or not.

I'd believe UNT to the Big 10 sooner than that.

Ultimately, as in not now, but at some point. UNT's standards should be going up as that 40K top out approaches if they really do plan to top out enrollment there. UNTD's standards probably won't change.

I think our system will end up with our main campus in Denton being a major institution, the medical and law schools standing by themselves, and a few small sattelite schools like the Dallas campus offering the Applied Arts/Science type degrees and being a place where kids who aren't quite up to the standards of the Denton campus can get up to snuff.

Well, then double thanks. She'll love it.

Thanks for finding that. I couldn't last time I looked. He's my wife's favorite, fellow Missourian and all, and she was kicking herself about not being able to go.

Not only not a rumor, but a full page ad in the D-RC demanding that the field be named for him. The fact that he "threatened" to give the money to the College of Music if they didn't still strikes me as odd.

If it was such a boring time with bad football why are Cobbs, Hall, Booger, et al remembered as being awesome? Classless jerk? Sure. But I don't see how you can lionize the players and totally dismiss the coach. He was an integral part of one of the best times in the history of UNT football. Like him or not, you can't change that.

The man was a negative a-hole and went out in a classless manner, but I had fun going to the games while I was in school and WE WON AND WENT TO BOWL GAMES! We beat Tech, Baylor, Cinnci, SMU, and 26 conference games straight. During that I couldn't have cared less that the guy was a jerk. Doesn't the fact that that stretch was one of the winningest times in school history buy the man's reputation some slack? Especially considering that it was followed by perhaps the worst stretch in the history of the program.

African or European?

So the MWC may or may not invite 2, 4, or 6 of USU, SJSU, UH, SMU, UTEP, UNT, UTSA, Tulsa, Rice, La Tech, and/or ULaLa? Fascinating.

Pretty please? I'm terribly fond of this house.

As long as I get to keep my house, I'm all yours.

Oldest houses date from the 1950s. Mine and many date from the 1970s. As for the second question, very little thinking goes on among the Nattering Nabobs of NIMBY.

It's part of the HOA agreement.

Do you have "an article from a real newspaper" to back up your claim? Did the MWC Comissioner not say that they want to keep a presence in Texas? Are they not meeting in just a few days with expansion on the agenda? Did UTEP's president not say that they want to stay in a conference with other Texas schools? I'm not saying something will happen, but you absolutely say that nothing will. How is your speculation different from anybody else?

Has Benson called yet. We are top five on his speed dial afterall.

Victory for the ladies.

When you say "good authority" what do you mean? I'm sure you can't in good faith say who or you would have done so, but are we talking somebody in the MWC office, an AD from one of the schools, or something else? I hope you're right. That would be fantastic.

It's not that the British shouldn't have left, it's that they shouldn't have left in the manner that they did. They had spent generations keeping locals as far as possible from the exercise of power and influence that by the time they decided to pack it in not only was there nobody that knew how to run a country left living, there was nobody that had known anybody who knew. Sensible, responsible leadership had all died and when the Brits left the only power there was who had the most guns. These (for lack of a better term) gang leaders were only interested in getting rich and making their friends rich, not doing right by their people. Some African countries are coming out of it, but some are still so deep (Zimbabwe springs to mind) that I don't know when they'll pull out of it.

Not that I'm aware of.

He may have learned his lesson. I never saw him hold a thing the whole game.

I'm in his section. Got to shake hands. Politicians are such limp fish.
