Jerry had no intention--zero--of putting it in Dallas. All that talk with the city of Dallas was grade A baloney because he knew that Arlington was prepared to hand him over the .50% sales tax that was expiring from the Ballpark agreement.

I don't disagree that he had no intention of putting it here but isn't he getting the same $325 million from Arlington that he wanted from Dallas and that $325 million is being paid by the sales tax increase?

My guess has been that he wanted to develop peripheral land which would have been a lot tougher in Dallas.

Jerry comes through once again for his alma mater.

And his pocketbook.

Good for him.

It is our responsibility to make ourselves relevant.

I shudder to think of the number of people wearing overalls in the Metroplex that weekend. I think we may have to leave town.

This from a Ft Worth girl?! :D

I wish this many people would have joined me in being upset we chose Pat Summerall, ex-hog to be our keynote speaker at the SMU Kickoff luncheon.

This just in: Pot holes on hold. Instead we will build bridge to west Dallas Land Fill. But not just any bridge...
