WHY TEXAS IS BETTER THAN CALIFORNIA:

Hey… California listen up… Texas is where its at!
- I too can wear sandals all year long… plus I can put on boots to stomp your toes and I won’t even stick out.

- You may know what real cheese and avocados taste like… but I know what 100% Grade A Angus Beef tastes like. Who wants avocados and cheese when you can have steak and potatoes?

- Why roll 40 deep when something goes down if 5 corn fed country boys can get the job done…

- Yeah, Well my governor became the President of the United States… yours isn’t even eligible.

- Ok… you said,"You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you’re from, you give your area code" and as hard as I try I have no idea what you’re talking about… I think you’re watching too much TV.
- Yeah, you’ll definitely get looked at funny when you come to visit but we have another name for you pretty boys, and its not Greek, its French.

- You can pick up Real Mexican food 24 hours a day huh… well I can swing by home depot and pick up 24 Real Mexicans anytime of day. Can you say catering?

-Everything is BIGGER in TEXAS

And as the Great Sam Houston once said "Texas could survive without the United States, but the United States could not survive without Texas"

Texas wins hands down, dude. I have lived all over the world in service to my country, but even NY, NY (Or even some where in Kansas) beats living anywhere besides the USA. God Bless all of America!

I am a junior in houston Texas i really want to goto u of mich.I have a 3.75 so far i screwed up freshman year. i expect to get 1950 maybe 2000 if a get lucky on the sat. i will have played football for all 4 yrs and i am in hosa and deca and probably nhs nxt year.i have 50 -75 service hours.have taken challenging courses since sophmore year. and im at the border of being top ten im pretty sure though ill get in. also i am 1st generation to go to college and im out of state tuition is not a problem. every1 makes it sound so selective yet on sites it says 47% acceptance rate.do i have much of chance to get into this university ?

Sounds like you have a decent shot, especially if your cumulative GPA is still 3.75 even with a bad freshman year (a strong upward trend is a big plus). I wouldn’t call you a lock, and you still need to do at least as well as you expect on the SAT, but if you pull that off your chances are as good as anyone’s. Best of luck!

Willys cynical thought for the day;

I wouldn’t be caught dead with a fugging necrophiliac!

Applies to each person as they enter Texas. Learn ‘em and remember ‘em. East Coast and California-types pay particular attention!

1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot!

2. Let’s get this straight; it’s called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I need to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re going to get dust on your Hummer. Drive it or get out of the way.

3. They are cattle and oil wells. That’s what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? I-20 and I-10 go east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one!

4. So you have a $60,000 car. We’re impressed! We have quarter-million dollar cotton strippers that we drive 3 weeks a year.

5. So every person in every pickup waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.

7. Yeah, we eat catfish and crawdads. You really want sushi & caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.

8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

9. We open doors for women. That applies to all women, regardless of age.

10. No, there’s no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.

11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and picante sauce. Oh, yeah…we don’t give a damn what you folks in Cincinnati call that crap you eat… It AIN’T REAL CHILI!! Chili was born and bred in San Antonio…. And real chili never met a tomato – OR BEANS!

12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

13. High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch!

14. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don’t hit the water hazards – it spooks the fish!

15. Colleges? Try Texas A&M or the University of Texas. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come for the holidays!

16. We have more folks in the Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force than any other state, so "Don’t Mess with Texas." If you do, it will get your butt whooped by the best. Remember we have access to bombers, tanks and helicopters — and we know how to use them.

17. Always remember what our great governor Sam Houston once said: "Texas can make it without the United States, but the United States can’t make it without Texas!"

Two examples: 1 when he wrestled the Ultimate Warrior at WMVII as a heel and left as a babyface, he entered the ring wearing a white hat. 2. when he defeated Ric Flair at WMVIII to take the WWF strap, he wore a gold costume.

• Hulk Hogan agreed to drop the world title to the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI because he was planning on retiring and wanted to pass the torch on to his babyface successor so he wouldn’t have to come back and get "revenge" on a heel for his fans.*Hogan forced McMahon to give him the strap at the end of WMIX by threatening to no-show his tag earlier on the show with Brutus Beefcake against IRS & Ted Dibiase.

• McMahon wanted a Flair-Hogan main event for WMVIII, but before Flair surprisingly was unable to re-up on a contract with WCW, McMahon signed Sid with the promise he would wrestle Hogan at the next WM. So, McMahon went with a double main event of Hogan-Sid and Flair-Savage.

• The WWF says that the Dynamite Kid left the WWF and retired because of an injury. Actually, the Kid still wrestles in England and the real reason he left was because of a locker room fight with him and Jacques Rougeau. The Bulldog opted to keep contact with the WWF and because of that and other reasons, the Bulldog and the Dynamite Kid haven’t spoken in years.

• On May 11, 1987, Kevin Von Erich collapsed in the middle of the ring during an eight-man bout pitting him, The Fantastics, and Bruiser Brody against Brian Adias, Black Bart, Al Madril, and Al Perez. Fantastic Tommy Rogers, seeing Von Erich turning blue, administers cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

• Bam Bam Bigelow was chosen as the opponent for Lawrence Taylor at WMXI because he was the WWF’s best big man worker.

• Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty won the WWF tag team title from Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart in October of 1990 at a taping for Saturday Night’s Main Event. Neidhart had been fired and was filling contractual obligations, which including jobbing the tag titles to another team. In what should have been a minor point, the top rope broke at one point during the match. The Rockers defended the titles for a week after that, but then Neidhart was re-hired by the WWF, and Vince McMahon decided that the title change never actually happened, in one of the goofier decisions of the 90s, and one of many to affect the careers of Shawn and Bret. As an explanation, a story was sent to Pro Wrestling Illustrated about the rope break causing an "unfair working environment" for both teams, and hence the title reign was annulled. This was simply to cover up for the fact that they reported the title change as fact a week prior and needed a reason to no longer report it as such. The title change was edited out of the Main Event broadcast, and thus went down in history that the Rockers never had the belt.

NORMAN, Okla. — The University of Oklahoma has taken the first step to appeal a ruling by the NCAA that stripped the football team of its 2005 wins and found the university guilty of "failure to monitor" the employment of its athletes.

OU President David Boren sent a notice of appeal of those two findings to NCAA President Myles Brand.

Boren noted the appeal was limited only to the "failure to monitor" finding and the NCAA’s penalty that forced the Sooners to erase all of the wins from its 2005 season, when OU went 8-4 and won the Holiday Bowl.

"We have accepted a large majority of the NCAA’s findings and penalties because we agree that the highest possible standards of conduct and ethics should be maintained and that when mistakes are made, even if they are unintentional, institutions must be held accountable," Boren said in a statement Friday.

The penalties stem from a case involving players, including starting quarterback Rhett Bomar and offensive lineman J.D. Quinn, who were kicked off the team last August for being paid for work they had not performed at a Norman car dealership, Big Red Sports and Imports.

On its notice of appeal form, Oklahoma indicated that it would appeal all five of the findings on which the "failure to monitor" violation was based — including that the school failed to follow established procedures to track employment by collecting gross earnings statements for 12 athletes that worked at the car dealership and that it failed to detect that athletes were working at the dealership in the spring and fall of the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons.

Oklahoma also indicated it would use all of its possible grounds for appeal — that the evidence is contrary to the violation finding, that the facts do not constitute a violation, and that a procedural error affected the reliability of information supporting the infractions committee’s finding. It also claims the removal of the Sooners’ eight wins in 2005 was excessive.

The school requested the appeal be based on written record of its appearance before the infractions committee in April instead of being heard in person before the appellate panel.

In a letter to Brand released Friday, Boren wrote that the university wasn’t requesting a hearing because of the "limited scope and nature of the appeal."

The removal of the wins was the only penalty challenged by the university.

Among penalties that were not challenged were the addition of two years of probation to an earlier penalty, extending the Sooners’ probation to May 23, 2010, and the removal of two scholarships for the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years.

The university already had banned athletes from working at the car dealership until at least the 2008-09 academic year and moved to prevent the athletes’ supervisor at the dealership, Brad McRae, from being involved with the university’s athletics program until at least August 2011.

In addition to Bomar and Quinn, the Sooners also dismissed walk-on Jermaine Hardison, who received payment for time he spent in a scrimmage and spring game.

Both Bomar and Quinn lost a season of eligibility. Bomar has been ordered by the NCAA to pay back more than $7,400 in extra benefits to charity, while Quinn was told to pay back more than $8,100. Both players transferred to Division I-AA schools — Bomar to Sam Houston State and Quinn to Montana — where they can resume their careers this season.

Once the NCAA receives OU’s notice of appeal, the university has 30 days to file a written appeal.

Boren also informed Brand in the letter dated Thursday that Oklahoma has hired additional compliance officers, including a former member of the NCAA’s enforcement staff, in hopes of having a "model, and continually improving, compliance system."

"Even though no compliance system is perfect and there is no guarantee that you can catch those who may intentionally choose to evade the rules, I can assure you that we will remain diligent in our efforts to have the best and most comprehensive compliance program possible," Boren wrote.

Todd J – YES it is personal for the NCAA. OU led the charge 25 years ago to break up the NCAA’s unfair monopoly on college football TV rights. They have been gunning for them ever since! They did the same against Alabama because Alabama joined in with OU and a few other teams on that deal.

Just another way the NCAA is trying to screw OU any way they can.
