Congratulations Emmitt and Lera! Recruiting class of 2032 has two "early" committments!

I've always wondered, Why did they name it "Malcolm-X" Blvd? Are there nine other "Malcolm" Blvds? I'm pretty good with maps, but I cant seem to find a street named Malcolm-IV or Malcolm-V?. Just seemed like the right time to ask... GMG!!!

"A PLEDGE PIN!... ON YOUR UNIFORM!... Your're ALL WORTHLESS and WEAK! Now DROP and GIVE ME 20!" Great avatar Emm..hahaha. GMG!!!

I'm in . Last year was a great time. I'll check and see what HP has for items to donate for the silent auction. Thanks Mark.

I cant believe we are having this discussion again? The same point has once again been missed. Several of us (myself included) are some of those "full of themselves" Alums who stand during the games on the Alumni side. We deliberately pick seats as close to the field as possible so we do not block the views of people behind us, but that should not matter. The point made was that the energy and involvement from the student side of the stands influences the game. The student side was very much a part of it, and the Alumni side was not. Many of us, myself included, ARE a part of it from the Alumni side. We stand and scream and cheer, as many fans do in stadiums all over the country, and it not an attempt to be full of ourselves. We are doing what we have always done. We make the opposing teams feel the pressure of playing in our stadium. It's normally called HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE, and it seems to again be an issue on the Alumni side. Our own football players walk around the sidelines waving towels asking for the Alumni side fans to stand, but those of us who do are full of ourselves? Texas A&M fans (Alums and students) stand for the entire game..and it is a great tradition! I didnt graduate from A&M, I graduated from UNT. I am proud to wear my Mean Green Jersey while screamin from the Alumni side of the stands. If it really bothers some of you that much, ask the AD to let us buy our season tickets on the student side of the stadium and we will stand and cheer over there. Until I get that phone call, I will yell, scream, cheer, and be a part of the game right where my seats are now. Those of you who want to sit, please just sit. You paid for your tickets, just like I did. But dont ask us to sit because we will not. We are there for the players, and they dont have to wave towels to get us to stand up. GMG!!!

246 and climbing.. in the upper 50% now.

Done.

Dunbar is having real trouble picking up blitzes. On the "Lunch Break" on Dallascowboys.com, the guys watched Dunbar's practices prior to his injury. They said he seems to be a "Sproles-like" player while carrying the ball. BUT, when the time came to pass protect and pick up blitzes, Lance really struggled. Most who saw it think the problem is his size. (5-8, 195lbs.). All so far think he will have to make the team as a kick returner or special teams ace. Not sure how he will do that if Felix Jones and Dez Bryant are the primary returners? Dunbar has quickness and he is elusive, but struggles too much in pass protection. I'm hoping LD has a stellar pre-season and makes it hard for the Boys to put him on the practice squad. Some other team would probably claim him. I want LD in Dallas. Come on Lance..get healthy and secure your spot! GMG!!!

As big as his challenges are this year (find a new RB, re-work the secondary, etc.) Coach Mac has to be the most positive coach in the conference. I hate to kick a dead horse, but I wonder what Todd Dodge's "minute" would have been like? I know what Darrell Dickey's minute would have been... "It's good to be back at work. We're gonna run a draw play or two this year with Jamario, let Awasome and Kennedy disrupt some offenses, and have a beer or two in New Orleans. See you all at the House of of Blues!" GMG!!!

"Officer, we were only gone for a couple of hours? She took our TV's, our laptops, and our playbooks!" DPD Seargent Emmitt Jackson - "Uh?, I wouldnt sweat losing the playbooks..why didnt she take the donkey?" GMG!!!

Happy Birthday Brian. Have a great day bro.

Seeing Dunbar in a #25 Dallas Cowboys jersey is worth attending some NFL Pre-season games! I've said it once, and I'll say it again... If Jesse Holley could PLAY for the Cowboys, Lance Dunbar can START for the Cowboys! GMG!!!

This year will not be easy. Dunbar is gone, most of our secondary graduated, Defensive line is a tad small.. I'm guessing 6 wins. In all honesty, I really am not that concerned with our last year in the Belt. I'm so freakin excited about our future in CUSA. I picked up an additional season ticket in our "New Section E" this year at Apogee. I wish we could just simulate this season like you can in NCAA12/PS3 football, and start our CUSA season at home with Tulane or UTEP. It should be noted that I have already put NT in CUSA (NCAA12/PS3) and we went 8-4. I had some defensive secondary trouble with Southern Miss, Rice, and Tulsa.. but we still got the Armed Forces Bowl. You gotta love EA Sports! GMG!!!

RIght on the nose Harry. I was there in Lubbock, as were many on this board, when Scott Hall replaced Bridges in the second half. Coach Dickey told me the following Monday that NT had no chance if Scott doesnt go into that game. We ended up losing on a fluke WR fumble, but Scott did his part. We were there to see the start of something special, and Scott should be in the NT Hall of Fame now. GMG!!!

Great press conference by all. I like RV's enthusiasm, and his passion for the University. I also like the positive attitude of our new CUSA Chief. He was funny and upbeat, but also direct about the things North Texas has to offer. Thanks again RV (The flour) and everyone for this! I'm already planing more road trips.. we just have to get through one more season of the Belt. This will make that easier... Go Mean Green!!!

"I dont know whether to bow, or kneel, or what?.. I feel like break dancing!"... Coming to America. GMG!!!

Why pick on SMU today? Did I miss something? Anyway, I want... 1. Fouts leveled. (We need the parking for the students who have to move their cars on gameday) 2. Mean Green Walk INSIDE that gated area between the AC and the Stadium. (Let us escort them onto the field when they are suited up and ready to play) 3. Beer at Apogee. (I'll take ANYTHING, but Bud Light if possible please) 4. Another Garage sale at the end of the season, and GMG.com members get the first hour. (that last one was greatness, and we'll need to get rid of everything displaying the SunBelt Logo) 5. Someone to teach those nitwits how to fire the freakin cannon RIGHT AFTER a score. (Firing the thing two or three minutes after the score just scares the hell out of everyone and makes us look foolish) GMG!!!

Really, I didnt know that? Thanks Harry. So Coach Francione is "carrying the torch" into the SBC without the Draw play? Tough road ahead.. Good Luck TSU. GMG!!!

Cant quite pin his level of sincerity, but it sounds more like sour grapes than appreciation. He is very confident, but I cant see TSU playing for a BCS Bowl anytime soon. He also mentioned the lower end football teams are leaving the Belt, so TSU will be in a league of better quality teams. Last I looked, ALL of the other teams in the Belt are improving. Even WKU is making strides. In his small bit of defense, TSU does have Coach Fran and Coach Dickey, and each had big league success. Confidence does come from within, but competing isnt the same thing as winning, ask Todd Dodge. Teis then made it sound like TSU is a victim of re-allignment? I have a problem with that one, and so should their fans and alums. The message he sends to them should be to SELL the SunBelt, not SETTLE for the SunBelt. He should also talk to his O.C. about making statements that could come back to bite him. My humble advice.. Shut it, and be thankful you arent stuck in the WAC. GMG!!!

Forget the SOW.. time to think outside the box. 1. White Helmet with a thermometer (green mercury) at 90% full. SBC at the Bottom, and CUSA at the top. 2. Green Helmet - Eagle with a rubber glove on one hand. (it sends a subliminal message) 3. Green Helmets - block white letters on the back of RB's and WR's - "If you can read this.. your coach is pissed". Defensive Helmets - "If you can read this..dont block me". Hope this helps? GMG!!!

The FWST is a thrid or fourth source of sports news for me. When it comes to sports news, I trust Dale Hansen. Unlike the newspapers, Dale is not at all about sensationalism. (haha) Too bad TMZ doesnt cover college football. They've been right about almost everything over the past four years. Just sayin... GMG!!!

Easier travel to away games, opponents our missing Alums will come in for, and a chance to wear my newly aquired BRANDON KENNEDY jersey! GMG!!!

Thanks Mark, We're in... it was great watching Scott Hall throw to JQ again last year. Sure brought back some fond memories! H: 6'0 W: 190 Name on Shirt: Medpilot21 Size: L My son Chris will also play again this year. This will be his last GMG.com Bowl before going into the Army, so I'm glad he gets to play in the new stadium. He's been a part of many of these over the years. H: 6'0 W: 150 Name on Shirt: Army2012 Size: L See everyone there! GMG!!!

Watched the replay of the Vikings-Cowboys game. AA played mostly in the 4th qtr, but looked good. I checked the cut list posted by the Vikings and he is not on it. Has a real chance if he survives the final game. Good Luck AA.. We're rootin for ya! GMG!!!
