Of course it's not like beat a team that was very good themselves.

The nature of the average student at a school guides attendance more than anything. If the students don't care, nothing matters. Something tells me most students at UNT don't care about foosball or other sports and new stadiums won't really help that. Sure you could attract a few more high profile opponents with a new stadium so you can have their fans sell it out. And it'll sell out the first year or so because people like new, shiny things, but it'll probably fall back to the way things were. At all those other schools, the students care about sports. Not so much at UNT.
On a side note, the athletics=reputation argument is stupid. Schools with big programs are well known because of extra media coverage of games. Other schools are well known because of the school as an academic institution, which is more important. Obviously the increasing enrollment is because of UNT as a place of learning because they have a good reputation in certain fields. Succeeding in sports certainly gets you exposure, but a school can have a very solid rep where it matters regardless of their football team. Ivy League anyone?
Students pick schools because of the school, and if they don't care about sports, then their money shouldn't be spent on them. Ultimately, it's their own fault for not voting.

I applaud this old man and his odd ways. No one will want to drive their SUV if it's scratched. Especially high school kids who have no reason to be driving a Hummer in the first place.
Or, this guys got a kickback deal from local paint and body shops.

Uh, why not shift to neutral and coast. Or just kill the engine, flip the hazard lights and wait for the cavalry. Rather jack up the transmission than try to steer an out of control bus on the service road of all places.

What if he got an Escalade front-end conversion kit for his F-150? Or just the badges from one? What kind of idiot lives in Texas and tries to keep pick-up trucks out of the neighborhoods. And freaking LOL at the Honda Ridgeline being ok to park.

And he's got no class off the ice either. He gave an interview during the Rangers game last night, and came off as kind of a jerk. Right as he came on, there was a collision at home between Pudge and Murphy(I think). This was a good solid collision, knocked Pudge out of the game. Anyway, he sat there and called them soft and that he takes harder hits during warm-ups and made other jerk like comments. But I guess that's what you'd expect from an enforcer. But I can't fault him for openly expressing his desire to be interview by Erin Andrews.

I've noticed the posted limit is 45 at the booths, but never seen form of law enforcement there to, uh, enforce it. Come to think of it, I've hardly ever seen any police officers on the toll roads. Well, on the DNT anyway. Saw several traps on the Bushway back when I used it to commute to work.

Looks terrible. Fast food joints should only do shakes and similar items if they want to do dessert items at all.
The A1 should be on the menu year round.
