Texas bites. Baylor sucks. As it was in the beginning, is now, and evermore shall be. Amen.

I canceled my subscription, too. After 20+ years as a customer. I made sure they knew why I canceled.

I just really don't understand what they were going for with that title. It wasn't funny or clever and only lost them subscribers. Stupid.

That would be tantamount to admitting they were wrong. It would also lose them internal political points from the people that wanted them to change it in the beginning. It sends an external message that a small group of people can make them behave differently. Let's face it, there are not that many of us. I would argue we are more devoted than other fan bases. Their only hope to maintain credibility is to weather the storm.

Just to stir the pot some more... Does anyone have a copy of today's paper? Let's start an e-mail campaign to today's advertisers telling them we won't support their businesses because of their association with the DMN. We can pick 5 or 6 and fire away. Have their revenue base reach out to them as well.

I just wrote a letter to the editor letting them know why I cancelled my subscription. I know my cash isn't powering the machine, but it felt nice to tell them F you.

Not many? 45,000 alumni live in Dallas area. Thats a decent number and not counting family members.
