I don't think it's at all offensive that he used these events, I just think he needs to hire a speech writer. There are plenty of ways he could have mentioned the same events in metaphoric or hyperbolic means and made it not sound moronic.
To me, it didn't sound offensive, just retarded.
And i get the ham reference now, but what was he referring to as ham and what was he referring to as chicken?

Troy 10, MUTS 7 End of 1st quarter

I would love to see Jamario and company play one last time.
Emmitt, you know my paint, wear it if you suddenly get the balls and weirdness to do so. Hopefully in a year or so I'll have my little man there and won't be missing games anymore.
And yes, Jamario graduating is alone a reason for a "guy cry". UNT didn't overlook him because of his learning disability, and instead made sure he had a support system. The #1 rusher in the country could have gone elsewhere and maybe even had more success, but he was a "risk" and they blew him off.
Some of US have similar situations, and North Texas came through for us. I'd like to know who else has a story similar to Jamario's and mine. If you've missed my comments and such on my background and want to know, message me, but I'd really like to know who else got a major life-changing experience due only to the fact that it was Denton to which they came.
-
Ham? I missed that, can you elaborate or provide a link?
This is classic. Ordinarily, I would ask if the individual in question was joking; under these circumstances, it just sounds like a hick trying to drum up patriotic sympathy. This is just too funny.
-
Yeah, I thought a lot of their rankings looked pretty bogus. Look where they put Minnesota. We're in the bottom 4, but yeah, still better than SMOO.
-
I was hoping maybe they were talking about our passing game.
-
I say go with the latter. I try to promote UNT as much as possible even in weird situations. Need to get my ring resized though, I've grown like 3 inches since graduation and it doesn't fit anymore.
Yes, I've grown 3 inches since I was 23.

They've been going off on this on SportsCenter for weeks. The problem with Hawaii is that they have barely beaten ANYBODY. Only a couple of teams they took on even have winning records. They basically said Hawaii needs to schedule some tougher non-conference games instead of pushovers to add to point and record totals.
-
I dunno, I just got all excited about them talking about us, but can't find any broadcast replays online yet.
They were talking about the ups and downs of Top 10 teams and I made a toilet run, but just caught that last little bit afterwards. Not sure what kind of comparison they were making.
-
That's what I heard on FSN as I came back into the room..."...that Todd Dodge and company aren't the best team in the country".
Looking for links now...were they making another "Any Given Sunday" reference like we were talking about before? That's my guess, but they might also have been talking about offensive numbers.
-
That's actually what I was sort of considering, and I don't play many video games.
-
So is that (1957-1969) the "upset over Cincy" we were supposed to assume? Because I had figured that the Cincy upset was when we played them in New Orleans.
-
Yet Cincy' does not and still does not have that traditional football name (and it was that way when we were in the same conference with them, too).
Um...when we beat Cincy in the New Orleans Bowl, they were in C-USA. It's rare for teams from the same conference to play in the same bowl game.
When the heck were we in the same conference with Cincy?!
-
Miss my other comment? This week was ND vs. Duke, then there's Utah St. vs. Idaho and us vs. FIU. It's sad, really. As I put on the other thread...we were a preseason Power 16 team a few years ago.
As far as Dickey at SMU...is that speculation or do you have info? Because I agree, that doesn't sound very likely at all.
-
I disagree for one reason. We want to start playing like a contender, right?
Only once in a while do the big teams play I-AA teams. And ESPECIALLY the mid-major teams that want to prove themselves put up tougher non-conference schedules to prove themselves.
Would it be nice to beat Nicholls State and have 2 wins this year?
Maybe.
But I think it's better to lose now and be ready to beat their asses when we're settled in.
-
About Dickey having their number...what is his record vs. NMSU?
??????????
-
Wasn't 1999 the last time we played A&M? I remember it was like 26-3 or something. But yeah, depending on the year, we could take 'em.

I'm working on a lot of stuff that has yet to yield money (writing, art, etc), and need something that either lets me work nights and weekends, or pays enough to put the baby in daycare.
Because of all the stuff I did in college, plus summer/temporary jobs and the couple jobs since graduation, I have a few areas that I can work well in:
-Food service (former restaurant mgr)
-Finance (worked for Citi, laid off, then worked for HSBC)
-Education/training/management/etc-With all the SGA, UNT committees (and chairs), tutoring, Peer Advisor, Grad Assistant, and various positions in student leadership (and my GPA), I'm pretty versatile here.
-Political/legal work-A few political campaigns, plus all the legal training from Kimi King and Corey Ditslear's courses in grad and undergrad, as well as multiple awards and honors.
Let me know what you have, if anything. I'd really like to have something simple for the next couple years or so, to focus on the baby and getting published when I'm not at work. I haven't listed everything here, but I was usually working 2-4 jobs at a time and am willing to put in some heavy hours for a little while as long as they will eventually be cut back. Unless I make a huge book deal or something, I'm looking for something that will be at least a 4 year position, to become a career if the art and writing don't yield long-term results.
As a fellow North Texan, note that between organizations and committee appointments, I held around 40 leadership positions at UNT. For what it's worth.
-
So maybe some of you agree with me on us being the best 0-1-2 win team in the country, then?
-
Well, it's kind of like the "Any given Sunday" mentality in the NFL. Especially in a season like this, who knows what could happen? Yeah, talent is more spread out in the NCAA, but this season has proven just how prepared you have to be. That's why I like when they interview coaches from Texas, USC, OU, LSU, etc. and they talk about always having to be prepared...which is part of the reason I was rooting for TCU against UT this year. Mack Brown threw out that cocky "We aren't really worried about TCU"...so yeah, with that attitude, I've been hoping for UT losses every week to give his ass a reality check.
-
About Dickey having their number...what is his record vs. NMSU?
-
Precisely.
-
I just updated all my stuff and it says there's an invalid file path or link.

Any news on $$ raised for the stadium?
If I still had my old job, pre-suicide attempt, I'd definitely dump about 10 grand into it.

Depending on who else in and near the bottom of the Top 25 (bottom of the top?) loses another game or two, I agree with you.
Troy 24, MUTS 7 Nice blocked punt in there a few minutes ago from Troy. Almost halftime.
