  1. I thought the ripples of conference realignment were done affecting us!
  2. I feel like we're the kid in the friend group that keeps trying to hang with the cool kids on the playground. But every time we find the kids on the jungle gym, they decide to move to another place on the playground. Sigh.
  3. I hadn't thought about that option... Interesting...
  4. So will CUSA be replacing them? I vote for ULL and WKU. I really just want WKU in the CUSA because I love to hate them so much! I would vote for TxSt just to have another in state rival.
  5. I'm rather pleased with the fact that we have two OOC home games next year. Already making plans for the 2014 SMUt and UT games! I'll take the half full approach.
  6. It's studies like this that perpetuate the environment of racism to occur... The black community continues addressing this. It needs to stop. I'm fairly certain that Benford being black was not one of the top 2 or 3 reasons for hiring him. RV was not sitting in his office thinking, "We need a black coach.." "We're all black friends..."
  7. Love the song! It definitely sounds like on of the original old school songs.
  8. 100,000+ people is a small town? That seems crazy. Also, the "closest major highway" makes it seem like 35 doesn't cut right through Denton...
  9. I think Williams said the house was for sale. I'm fairly certain I remember seeing the house for sale.
  10. I got a call from Darnel Smith... I missed the call, but he left a message. Opened it up with, "Hi, my name is Darnel Smith from the University of Texas football team. Thank you for supporting Mean Green Athletics through the Mean Green Club." Yes, my quote is correct. He said "from the University of Texas"... <sigh>
  11. I've talked to Dr. Williams about that tradition. He said it seemed kind of pointless playing for a bunch of people at that house that wouldn't have the full appreciation for it. He said he was sad to see it go, but that it was time for it to go. I was fortunate enough to be there for one of the last times it was done in 2009. -- Do you know when these recordings were made?

  13. I certainly hope you're joking. That's not the case at all.
  14. Here I am to to the GB's rescue, as usual! There are three songs in the GB's book that are sacred: The National Anthem, Glory to the Green, and The Fight Song. You aren't allowed to change the lyrics or ad lib. when playing these pieces. I've seen people get kicked out for taking "musical liberty" with these pieces. We're taught from Day 1 to take these pieces seriously and to treat them with respect. I've seen the band director kick out people of the basketball pep band for forever after saying the MF-ing Eagles. It doesn't seem like a logical thing to add into the fight song. What purpose does it serve? The other "additions" to fight songs usually have to do with a long storied rivalry... I also know for a fact that this was a collaborative effort between the Athletic Department and the Green Brigade to take out the drum break from the fight song. The ESPN2 game was not the only reason for this, it was just the last straw. There has been a long dialogue between both important people with Athletics and the Green Brigade to reach this decision.
  15. What time will the pavillion open before the game? It opens x hours before kick off, but I don't remember what it was.
  16. I agree. I think we've had a pretty consistent fan base. The question the past years seems to be whether or not we can hit 20,000 mark, not the 10,000 mark.
  17. Don't get me excited like that... Thinking about TMitch in a Mavericks uniform doing some dirty work for Dirk... I need to stop..
