Readmission to UT

2Bearnest — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 17:44:14 -0000

Need some help guys.

I am from Louisiana.

I attended UT from 2002-2005. Paid in state tuition because my dad lives in Texas.

Transferred to SELU in Louisiana. Paid in state tuition because my mom lives in LA.

I am now 25 and wanting to return to UT. Can I still get in state tuition? my dad still lives there. I have done this before between 2003-2004 and it automatically put me in as in state since I was in state before. Is this still how it works?

thanks

Durant gets some help

2Bearnest — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:31:15 -0000

As most everyone knows Kevin Durant is playing some remarkable ball lately for the OKC Thundery(really that's their name?) Anyway Durant also just got some help acquiring Tyson Chandler from the N.O. Hornets. The 26 year old 7'1" Center is one of the best players in the league when healthy if you don't follow the NBA.

The Thunder won only 13/53 games before the Allstar Break. My question is how many of the 29 remaining games will the Thunder win? Durant needs to learn how to be on a winning team again.

Moving to Pullman (help)

2Bearnest — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 04:38:49 -0000

Well it's official my wife and I are moving to Pullman. My wife will be starting at WSU in the fall and we know absolutely nothing about the area. We are moving from Baton Rouge, LA; however, I attended school at UTexas.

I thought I would attempt to find some advice on locating an apartment near campus and find a job nearby as well. If you are feeling friendly please steer me in the direction of getting acquainted with WSU. Ready to become a Cougar fan !

Thanks

Boycott Bowl Game?

2Bearnest — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:10:37 -0000

Maybe I'm the bratty kid that just can't accept losing on the playground, but I feel I may be justified in feeling like we should support boycotting the Fiesta Bowl bid.

Believe me. I know there is much to gain by winning the Fiesta Bowl; however, how can I be happy knowing that OU is playing for OUR Championship. How can we ever take college football seriously again under these circumstances? I can't.

I know that teams have turned down bids before for reasons such as equal rights for African-American players, but does anyone know of anyone that refused a bid based on the kind of INJUSTICE we have experienced?

I will continue reading posts hear at burntorangenation, but I just can't support college football while robotic beings rule the world(yes that is from Flight of the Conchords)

Garrett Gilbert moves up

2Bearnest — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:28:05 -0000

Garrett Gilbert moves up to #6 on ESPN 150 Recruits, up from #15.

Gilbert has 30TD/1INT

ESPN says "the hottest signal-caller in this class, " and "Gilbert could make a push for No. 1 overall QB in the class."

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/columns/story?columnist=luginbill_tom&id=3667035

I knew nothing of the guy until about 10 minutes ago, so I am pretty sure I am behind on how great this kid really is.

The guy sure has alot to live up to; though, following both Vince Young and Colt McCoy.

Lastly, what are the chances he pulls a Ryan Perriloux?

2b's Texas/OkSt Preview

2Bearnest — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:38:00 -0000

OKST DEFENSE

Oklahoma State is averaging 47 pts/game. Impressed?

What if I told you that the defenses that Cowboys have seen are not very good? Would that blow your mind? I didn't think so.

The best defense the Cowboys have faced is Missouri. Anyone remember that time we led Missouri 35-0 and went on to post 21 more with the 3rd string?

OKST OFFENSE

Dez Bryant is capable of blowing it up (212 yards against Baylor), (236 yards against Houston); however, Missouri kept him to 47 yards. How?

Well they doubled him and Davis caught some balls while Hunter ran wild.

So the only question we have is....You guessed it

Can we defend Bryant with single coverage???

ACL Fest or Texas game

2Bearnest — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:38:06 -0000

So what gets your pick for Sep. 27 now that ACL Festival and the Texas-Arkansas game are on the same day. I have 4 tickets to the festival that may be up for sale soon. I just love to see Texas demoralize teams from the SEC. I am still hoping for Texas versus LSU/Florida in the BCS Championship.

Holla if you want to throw me some bones to free up my Saturday to see the game.

2008 Schedule

2Bearnest — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:27:40 -0000

If anyone is good at making desktop wallpapers(apparently I am not), It would be pretty cool to have a BON wallpaper with the 2008 football schedule on it so everyone can easily reference all the games and where it will be broadcasted etc. I know many are with me in that we hate missing games and we love anything that has to do with them. Thanks to the #1 fan that comes up with something.

Worried?

2Bearnest — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 18:12:36 -0000

Well needless to say, everyone seems worried about our chances this season. I've seen Mizzu and OU ahead of us and now Tech too. Am I missing something? Last time I checked we were Texas. We have reloaded and developed some young players from last year esp on Defense. I will go ahead and guarantee a spot in the Big 12 Championship. We will smash A&M as well who lost some good players. The schedule is fine. Personally, I think we will be Fiesta Bowling.
