  1. Somewhere deep on the LSU bench, Odoh is laughing at what we've become. I have to laugh too, to keep from crying.
  2. Out of nowhere. Did anyone else know we were recruiting him? Wonder why he doesn't have any other offers? Grades? Welcome aboard Mr. Tauaalo.
  3. Well that was a rather short trip down memory lane. Did we only have this year's footage? He was starting QB for 3 yrs & saw game action in 2 other seasons.
  4. I don't know how to imbed (I'm not even on Twitter), but it says: Goree @_TGoree_ Still #GMG thoo!
  5. Exactly. I don't want the guy who thinks "Man, I have this offer from <Big school U>, but I don't think I can beat anyone on the depth chart there... I'm gonna settle for UNT." Why would anyone want that kind of player? Chances are, if the guy doesn't think he can beat everyone at <Big School U>, then the reality is he's not going to beat out anyone at any FBS school. The player's mental makeup and drive is extremely important for his success.
  6. After a roller-coaster OOC, and a turd dropping of a C-USA opener @ Tulane, the way we bounced back and handled MT at home... That's probably where I started thinking it was going to be special. I thought it COULD be special after the Ball St. win, but then Tulane happened and it turned sour again. I knew it WAS special when we hit 6 by beating Rice.
  7. Calvin Watson jumps out here. Decent player coming in. Awesome player his Sr. year.
  8. Unbridled enthusiasm. That's what I love about the UTSA fanbase. As a sports-knowledgeable person, it's also the thing that gets on my nerves the most. Keep it up sir! One day, someone may be excited that their team is playing your school. It just wont be any UNT fans (outside of Harry) anytime soon.
  9. What we're going to need are schools like BYU, UConn, & other schools that are left out of the P5 that wield power to step up and spearhead the movement against it. Otherwise, all of the mid-majors will just be forced to take it.
  10. Andrew's comments in this thread are like someone threw a wet AFGAN on us.
  11. I recall. Do you remember UNT's football budget back then (I believe coach Hines was making less than $100k)? Coach Hines was a fantastic overachiever while here, but if coach Canales leaves, I think we can do better than bringing coach Hines back.
  12. Wow. Would be surprising for sure if he left. I don't think it would be a bad hire for SHSU at all.
  13. Or maybe even better if I pay a much lower rate on a 15 yr note AND max out my 4% employer contribution? Key is, my house isn't too expensive (because we bought big a long time ago and didn't move after I got promotions). It's not about what we could borrow... that to me, is what gets people in trouble.
  14. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery Plumm. I'm proud of you sir.
  15. Though there were some horrible lending deals that banks signed knowing full well they were going to rake a borrower over the coals (think an ARM on a 30yr mortgage), I would say most of the issues were caused because people knowingly or unknowingly bit off more than they could chew. I wouldn't mind some kind of class about family financial planning and lending being added to part of the core curriculum. Side note: We refinanced our house recently. After pissing my pants when faced with the amortization schedule (now a law that you must see it before signing a note) on what we drafted up for a 30-yr note (we were going to save something like $250-300/mo! Great deal right? NO!), we backed out and found a 15-yr note that worked for us, for only a slightly higher monthly payment (like $30) than what we were paying before when we were some of the blissful youth who signed a mortgage we shouldn't have. Moral of the story: If you don't have a 15-yr note, or less, you are insane.
  16. I lol'd about 1/2 of the entire video. Oh, British blokes...
