You're looking for Martin Freeman. -
I don't see how any of what Roger said in this two-tweet exchange that will "cost" him anything.

Race begins to be power conference No. 6
Christopher Walker replied to Harry's topic in Mean Green Football
Dude, how do you find the time and energy to ramble through these novelettes? -
If you look through his photos from Twitter, he has posted a legal memo form his attorney and a press release from his complicated Kansas U "scandal". It really shows how crass and callous the KU administration and Charlie Weis was in the whole ordeal; so glad he was able to get outta there and eventually to the open arms of UNT.

This was the only place I could think to put this since others whined about my Kingsbury/Tech post. Though Colorado had an abhorrent season and aftermath, this video is stunningly beautiful and is just.....wow. http://vimeo.com/55472286

Southeastern Louisiana (12/16/12)
Christopher Walker replied to CMJ's topic in Mean Green Basketball
At one point toward the end of the first half, I looked up what the lowest scoring college basketball game ever was; I was worried we may be in contention for such a title. For the record: 1973 | Tennessee 11 - Temple 6 -
We (all 12 of us in the Student Section) had more fun with that SEL assistant freaking out on us and the lady with the cowbell than we did watching this game.

Many on the board may disagree with me, but I think for the future longevity of college sports viewership and fan retention, streamed games like on ESPN3 is the future. I have directed the live streams from the College of Music for the last couple of years. We've been strongly bolstered and made legitimate to the College by an NEA study that found that live streaming of arts entertainment was remarked favorably by viewers as highly encouraging them to go and attend concerts live at their next opportunity to do so. I am under te opinion that the same holds true for sports entertainment as well. I further think that universities should wise up and accept that though significantly cheaper, the wide coverage (or potential when blackouts aren't involved) of online streaming is much better for them than their one hope of an ESPN2 game. Significant investments should be put towards streaming to make their broadcasts of better quality and I think the rewards will be seen in the easily attainable viewing data that is captured in this medium. Much more easily attainable than tv broadcast, for sure. Finally, a buy into streaming will help avoid the high-stakes drama that TV deals have on universities, conferences, and all the fans that go with them. If the last fee years are any indication, the future of media consumption exists online and ADs should wise up to such.

Prodigal Son returns to Texas Tech

Kinda wished he stayed at A&M and developed Manziel for four full years and possibly ran the table as championship contenders. That would've been cool.

Per an article that tells the tale of "dwindling" (little bit of exaggeration there) attendance figures across FBS and notably the BCS contenders, look at how we fare... http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/12/college_football_regular-seaso.html#incart_flyout_sports We're among the 51 schools that showed forward progress in increased home attendance, albeit labeled as a "minor increase" over the year before. I don't care. Considering where our overall attendance places us on that list, even a minor increase looks really good.
