November 25, 2004I'm Thankful For Rich AlumniBy Zach NeumannI was going to bitch about Iran tonight, but I find this story about UT Alum Joe Jamail a lot more entertaining (and less depressing). The NY Times writes:
I’ve got no problem with white-male-capitalists, especially when they keep our football team on top. Speaking of which, I’m calling tomorrow’s game for Texas, 35-21. Posted by Zach Neumann at November 25, 2004 11:18 PM | TrackBack

I dunno. I hope we win, but lately, Longhorn losses are not a matter of if, but rather of how. Posted by: Andrea M. at November 26, 2004 12:53 AMAndrea M, Texas has one loss this season and is ranked fifth in the country. I could care less, but for your info they do win... alot Posted by: Roberto at November 26, 2004 03:04 AMForget the white male capitalists . . . I'm sure they would put up a statue of the next mega-lottery winner if they donated 21 mil. How much for a Bush statue? Posted by: sdhook at November 26, 2004 08:07 AMps. - Question to Professor Burd. Is there anyone who can donate 21.7 mil. that is not a capitalist? Posted by: sdhook at November 26, 2004 08:32 AMMy esteemed colleague Dr. Burd seems to have too much time (and too little understanding of reality) on his hands, as "sdhook" points out. Shoot, for $21.7 million, they can put a statue of a donor inside my campus office. Of course, you can already put your name on the door to a room at OU as a sponsor for $25,000; everything is for sale up here. This answers Andy's "how" question of Longhorn losses -- the Horns have been hooked eleven times in five years (an .822 winning average) but are oh-fer-five versus the Sooners (.000). *chuckle* Have fun at the SBC Cotton Bowl. Posted by: Keith at November 26, 2004 09:52 AMCheck out the article in the Saturday New York Times about rich donors tying millions of strings to the millions of dollars they give universities.
