To do PBP? Who? I know Josh was the source of some e-brake moments over the years, and was considered by many to be annoying, but I grew accustomed to him and I think I'll miss him. It depends on who replaces him I guess... BALLGAME!

Any students out there seen Edwards at practice at all? How does he look? Is he gelling with the rest of the guys? I thought Edwards was a face-to-the-basket kind of player and he was being turned into a back-to-the-basket player at Nebraska and he didn't like that. I can't imagine we'll see alot of post play from Edwards, unless he recently changed his mind. Not to say he'll never play back-to-the-basket, but he'll probably be on the wings alot looking for lanes, shots or a slashing TT/Josh/Dom.

Happy Birthday FFR! Hey, would you be interested in buying some wind turbines for your frontyard? I know some people who could get you a pretty sweet deal.

?? Riley, Tune, Thompson < Chase Baine? Johnson, Leppo < Aaron Fortenberry? DaWaylon Cook < John Shorter? Stradford, Bynes < Willie Taylor, Brelan Chancellor? I kinda think he's onto something... Completely ignoring the injuries is plain dumb. I totally agree that with a fully healthy team, we're 3-0 in conference play right now. That said, Dodge is now up against the wall. At 1-5, his chances of reaching 6-7 wins are shrinking quickly. He needs to make lemonade.

But at least he said it in broken Polish.

I think the only real threat is if North Texas goes to Baton Rouge and spanks the Tigers, then wins conference again and shows up in the NCAA's. LSU may fire their staff, and Johnny would probably bolt to LSU even if they only offer him a five dollar bill. We all know about the Auburn offer that was shunned. I think Johnny has his eye on one job only... in the meantime, he's doing great things for UNT!

With the addition of yet another PG (nice get!), will Alzee move to the 2 spot? What are the plans for him?

Lacedarius' defense: If the boxing glove don't fit, you must acquit.

Their love of lingerie and Persian history?

North Texas > Baylor.

Did you do any prison time for that?

Concert: Any band that would sell the place out and make lots of money for the school. It doesn't matter who it is. Who do the students like nowdays? Honestly, your best bet would probably not be a rock band, rather a country band. Natl. Anthem: The Green Brigade & fans.

After Zobrist I'm not scared of anyone else in the 9th.

Oliver = clutch crusty veteran

I'm thinking these Rangers are doing hoodrat stuff wif their friends.

Ugh! I missed all of these runs in the 5th because I was in a dadgum meeting doing WORK! What happened? Why'd Maddon get ejected?

The Solo Homer is smiling favorably on the Rangers in this series.

Thank you Shields!

MeanGreenTexan Storytime (ignore if you don't like heartwarming stories about the Mean Green): I grew up a UT fan my whole life. My uncle graduated from there. When I came to UNT, I must admit I fell into that trap and would wear my UT cap all the time(everyone else was doing it!!). I went to a few UNT games and was very excited about our team getting to the NO bowl in 2001 after "The Miracle in the Desert". In 2002, I went down and visited some friends in Austin and went to the UNT game there. I was going to root for UT AND UNT at the same time. Once there, I couldn't make myself wear burnt orange. I wore red. Neutral. UT was playing well and we couldn't get anything going in the first half. By the 2nd quarter, my heart was tugged and I began pulling for North Texas in my head and under my breath, trying to stay neutral on the outside. By the time we sacked Sims for the 4th or 5th time in the 3rd quarter, I was openly pulling for my alma mater and was rubbing-in the fact that Benson was going nowhere on my defense, and that Booger was going to be in Sims' nightmares that night. I got razzed a little by the longhorn students around, and my friends were shocked that I would root against UT, but mostly there was alot of, "Hey, your defense is really good..." and "Good luck the rest of the year...". Then, after the game I remember Davis saying that the UNT defense didn't deserve any credit and that they beat themselves on offense. That was all I needed to hear. My heart belonged to the Mean Green Eagles from that day forward. I still pull for the Longhorns as well, though I don't like Davis. I was going crazy when Vince ran in to seal the Rose Bowl game. I think Barnes is a brilliant b-ball coach. I don't own any Longhorns apparel, so I can't be a T-Shirt alum, but I have somewhat of an allegiance to them. I'm a FAN of Texas. I own all kinds of UNT gear. I'm an actual alumnus. I have a diploma that I'm incredibly proud of. I AM Mean Green I wish all of the other UNT alumns had the kind of experience I did. I'm glad I have you guys to share my love with. Maybe winning a few ballgames will give some students that experience.

I too am a little anxious about CJ. I'm betting that the anxiousness is heightened in TB right now. How much confidence would you have in Shields? CJ likes to get up for big games. I think he'll be fine... but if he starts getting hit, get him out ASAP because he seems to rattle quickly. Gotta believe that the Rangers hitters are locked-in right now and are licking their chops to get at Shields.

Hello PLAYOFF Win Column!

Picking up guys like Oliver, Vlad, Molina, Francouer were huge for the Rangers. These guys have been here before. Thanks JD for the foresight...

I had to go get my walkman/radio from my truck and just listen over the air. Give up on trying to stream unless you want to pay.

Lee is mowing these guys down like Frenchys.

Hamilton has the only SB so far. Hard for the Rays to steal and manufacture runs when they can't get on base!
