Just another reason to enjoy it when we return the favor when they come to GJFord.

I've never gotten on that board, but I will after we beat UNT.

Still, I have to say, their propensity to blame SMU for their ShunnedBelt lot in life makes fans of NTSU an endless source of entertainment. I say blackball them all.

But they are the second fastest growing university is Texas - they will soon surpass us. Jtstang, I still do not have your wit. I am trying.

Only in numbers. But with the economy down and people not being able to afford good schools and the boundaries of the metroplex expanding with the 'burbs, it's only natural that a third tier commuter school should grow.

Hey there are "Universities" cropping up all over the place with night school classes. I taught at one and was told not to lower grades for my students when their papers were written in a form resembling something by eecummings. After all not all of them have had English yet.

That's pretty funny and touching commentary t-geek, but even funnier are the results of majoring in driver's ed at NTSU. Under the ShunnedBelt story of the week banner, no less:

And I think you meant "NTSU-educated gardner".

You are quite some character. If I had known the Andrew Smith reference was made to that I would have been equally as disturbed, in fact I tried researching it, but there are thousands of Andrew Smiths. Their deaths may be iconic of their idiotic lifestyle, but what makes their situations laughable? If you had to see Eddie Griffin crash his Escalade into a train, would you still be laughing? What about discovering Meaghan's body in that port-a-potty, still have that smile on? What about watching Andrew cross the median into oncoming traffic and hitting that 18-wheeler, is that still a comedy? Your comedy is the comedy of those who can't cope with the tragedy of a lost life, whether their decisions led to directly to their death or not. I guess your opinion stems from the desensitization the internet and the TV have done towards the loss of human life.

I don't care if you mock SMU for all it's ritz and glamor, for the Porsches and Mercedes that line the parking lots, for the Gucci and Lacoste that adorn the students, but mocking dead people isn't comedy. There are plenty of funny things to laugh at (the new marketing campaign, rich stereotypes, poor football attendance). Why choose to mock the dead?
