UHHHH, that  post was at 2 in the morning, i was super tired from a long Monday.

Man I should have left it at just one sentence.... dry.gif

You guys arent any better than those Aggies who dissed one of their own...

No, the Aggies who "dissed" one of their own were commenting on content, not grammatical usage. Since we all have a degree from the same place, it reflects poorly on all of us when people can't use common homonyms correctly. And usually I wouldn't say anything about the post, but you've done it quite a few times so I felt compelled to comment.

I don't mean to discourage you from posting, because the more discourse on the board the better, but just remember that when you're calling people stupid and ignorant, you leave yourself open to criticism.

Note from TexAgs Staff:

I had the fortunate opportunity to speak with aggiegrant06 Sunday over the phone. Please allow me to clear up a misunderstanding:

Neither aggiegrant06 nor his girlfriend had anything to do with blowing the whistle on OU regarding the NCAA violations described in this thread. Apparently, because there were numerous individuals aware of these activities and because the activities were done so “out in the open”, their involvement was not necessary.

This fact, of course, seems troubling for OU with regard to who knew what when, but more importantly, in the context of this thread, the view that aggiegrant06 is the David that slayed the OU giant is somewhat misplaced. Instead, he’s the guy that knew of this year’s biggest college sports scandal a full 6 months in advance – and that’s cool enough in my book.

So, let’s enjoy this story for what it is, another fascinating example of why we say: “TexAgs.com – We know stuff.” Although in this case, we just didn’t believe it.

I think it was just the ironic nature of the post that made it funny, as untgirl pointed out.

Plus, everyone on the gomeangreen bored is pretty board and ready four the season too start. biggrin.gif

Your reaction is just what I would expect from the #1 Horse Hugger on this board!!

Jim, I won't make any apologies for not being adversarial to SMU. I don't know why you are but that's your problem to live with.

It began when I became a fan of Doak Walker. To me, he was the epitome of someone who could get the most from their size. There were bigger and faster players but none better IMO.

But, I have other connections. The School of Business bears our last name and the donor is a distant relative. I was a Baptist but have been a Methodist now for almost 50 years so maybe there is some loyalty to my religious denomination. My daughter is on the staff there. I've had several relatives and a number of friends who are graduates and all are fine upstanding people. There's not a snob in the lot.

I know that SMU has done several things that I didn't like and/or agree with. Thanks to a few, they received (and deservedly so) the death penalty in football. They paid the price more than twenty years ago. If the roles were reversed, would you still want North Texas students vilified for something that they had absolutely nothing to do with? Baylor did something similar in basketball, plus had one of their players murdered, yet I don't see constant condemnation of them. By the way, where was their support for our acceptance into the SWC? And, that was Hayden's alma mater.

You know, even if I didn't like SMU, Baylor or any other university I wouldn't wish the death penalty on them. To me it's like wishing a person dead. I don't do it and I don't appreciate it when anyone, especially from my alma mater, does. If I have death wishes it would be for tyrants, mass murderers and those who have physically harmed my family.

While some taunting and teasing is fun; hatred is not. We seem to be teeming with hatred for SMU and I don't think that's healthy. Frankly, if I was the SMU athletic director, it would be a cold day in hell when I played anyone that hated me so much.

Every time we play them in any sport I still want to win but I don't want to see them 'dead'.

      Morris signals it is over

      You make a good point. I still don’t like that he said it publicly though.

      The separation now from P4 to G5 is informal. The formal relegation of G5 to some lower tier is what I am against. We have played top level football schools in all of our football history, just not as conference members usually. Our first game ever was against TCU. The lineup you mention about would be great. But Smut, TCU, Baylor, and Houston have visions of staying in the top "power" tier or whatever fake name they assign it.

      All of this should happen, ASAP. The mistake you make about comparing 1-aa to G5s today is not true. We gave up in 1982 while the SWC and Big Eight were giants in the CFB world. Between 1981-1995, The SWC/Big Eight had Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, SMU, Texas, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Houston have teams that would finish in the Top Ten. Meanwhile, in Denton, we were playing conference games against something called Northeast Louisiana, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston, McNeese State, and Nicholls State. Literally, whatever little support we had got nuked. Now today, playing schools in the same level of play like SMU, TCU, Baylor, Tulane, Tulsa, Houston, Rice, UTSA, UTEP, and Texas State would bring a lot more eyeballs to North Texas than anything we have ever seen in Denton. And then adding in the idea that we can legitimately play for a title in football, you'll get more interest tan UNT has ever had. If you ever think we should be playing Texas, A&M, OU, etc...in equal standing, you'll be sorely disappointing. Its just not gonna happen. EVER.

      AAC Softball Tournament

      Her previous game.....against Charlotte was a dandy. 6 innings of 1 run ball. Skylar came in, in relief and lost the game in the 7th....2-1. So Mackenzie has pitched well.....very recently.

      Softball Question; Re: Eligibility

      It seems from experience....that most gals in softball.....once they get that degree they move on. Plus....I asked a parent....how many schollies does softball get? Was told it's 16 spread out amongst all the players. So not everyone gets a full ride. That's probably one reason....many move on. Because the extra year of "school" isn't free.
