  1. Every set of fans has the bad apples. I didn't go all anti-OU when some dingleberry tossed a street cone at the Green Brigade while we were setting up for half time.
  2. If we are waiting on an NCAA decision involving UNT, give it an extra 2 years. Then hope for the worse and watch a conference merger involving OU take 2 weeks for sign off.
  3. It's actually really nice when SBC outsiders speak up. Thanks for throwing that out there. I don't know if the press/skybox is what is really the make-or-break argument regarding your stadium. Regardless of those and the attendance capacity, I've heard it is an eyesore. Would you say that is incorrect? A few points: How do you foresee your attendance growing? I think that is going to be really important. We have comparable attendance numbers, but you're coming off bowl game success. We're are coming 5 wins and the Dodge era. While you are expanding your stadium - basically putting lipstick on a pig - we have rebuilt everything, can hang our hat on men's bball and a resurgant women's bball program. And it won't be long before we finally get that baseball program up and running in one of the best markets for that sport. Another thing you have to deal with - whether you like it or not - is Miami's reputation as a fickle fanbase. Worse than Dallas! Even The Hurricanes can't put butts in seats with their history. Lastly and maybe most importantly: how do the decision-makers feel about the markets? Does Miami have more to offer than DFW for their intents and purposes? Thanks for chiming in.
  4. Brooklyn-based band passed through North Texas on their way to/from SXSW. I just stumbled across their show at Dan's Silverleaf during an impromptu visit over break. It never ceases to amaze me - 15 years later - the scene that is in little D. They may be from BK, but Dan hand-picked them for this show since they were just "on their way through." God bless you Dan. After SXSW, they headed north and made time for a show at Dallas' City Tavern this past Tuesday. The recordings don't do their vocals justice. They are absolutely gorgeous live, and with wonderful stage presence/persona. http://www.thespringstandards.com/
  5. My Backsliders story: Went to hang out at Haileys. Never heard of this band "Backsliders", but they seemed pretty cool buddies with another guy in the audience...Brent Best. Best is the man behind some of my favorite Denton music memories. I heard them play and enjoyed it. And the band came up to me after the show - I wasn't even close to the merch stand - and gave me a free vinyl and chatted to extend their appreciation for coming out. Very gracious of them. Sucks that your experience was so bad.
  6. It's not odd at all. Anytime Silver has an opportunity to insult the current efforts of the Green Brigade, it should come as no surprise to the rest of us.
  7. Blue Pansies gonna face the winner of the Miami-Minn game (on right now)
  8. Dallas-based band is releasing all of their music for free download to celebrate the show this Friday at the Double Wide. download here Biography from FB page:
  9. What's good is to get these goats for the computer industry.
  10. Some of ya'll want a logo. The others insist on the script. Time for a gmg.com poll?
  11. Unless I missed it, I'm surprised no one has asked: when will/can we know about CJ and Williams regaining their eligibility?
  12. There were rumors all season about Feldt not performing well during practice. You don't think his move to guard even slightly validates that? I would think, if anything, this move either 1) raises questions about his potential or 2) makes one wonder about our depth at tackle.
  13. By Spring Break "conflicts", Harry must mean some flooding issues. And by flooding, he means too much water. And by water, he means margaritas.
  14. You get all poetic with your Kentucky bball talk.
  15. Cedric! Thank you, I said Lee Benson earlier and stand corrected.
