This week we journeyed to El Guapo’s, a Denton staple serving up delicious Tex-Mex cuisine at 419 S. Elm St.

A festive, multi-colored inte-rior greets patrons of the restau-rant, and comfortably loud Tejano music encourages diners to loosen their ties, order a cerveza and cut loose a little.

El Guapo’s has an atmosphere for families and more boisterous parties as well.

The main restaurant area is more low-key and family oriented, always a nice choice when Mom and Dad are in town.

For those of you who relish

in having more no-holds-barred conversation among friends, defi-nitely sit at the bar, where almost everyone can be seen enjoying happy hour 18-ounce margaritas and Dos XX schooners.

Sports fans need not worry — TVs in the bar are tuned in to the event of the evening to reference during conversation lulls.

El Guapo’s is one of those restaurants that always manages to stay busy, but the friendly wait staff quickly arranged us a seat in the bar area, busing our table while we took our seats.

Loud conversation and laughter paired with the electric-blue lighting, inviting Denton resi-dents to really take this section of the restaurant, complete with smoking.

Our server expertly snagged our orders and delivered our drinks while managing a huge party at the same time.

If he didn’t deliver something personally, it was delivered by someone else in good t ime, showing that the staff works as a team — major bonus points for service.

Complimentary chips and salsa came to the table (two bowls of chips and our own individual salsa ramekins), but we couldn’t pass up on an opportunity to try the ever-popular Queso Mas Guapo. Freshly cooked taco meat a nd homemade g uaca mole, stirred into El Guapo’s chile con queso.

We love this dish. It flows perfectly with the entire

scheme of Tex-Mex, which is basi-cally mixing everything together

into a delicious, perfect meal. Guacamole, ground beef and queso — it just makes sense.

Order a bowl of tortillas to go along with it, but be warned: This dish can easily take the place of your entrée, so pace yourself.

One of our favorite dishes is El Patron.

Imagine two chicken enchi-ladas with sour cream sauce, one pork tamale with chili con carne, one chicken taco, beans and rice, all for $8.49.

Don’t forget to order t he borracho beans. These offer a sweet, zesty f lavor and are a

The classic, sizzling steak fajitas for $9.99, served with caramel-ized onions and sautéed g reen a nd red bel l peppers were good.

Drinks were also surprisingly inexpensive (coming in at $4 for a call liquor), but one of Jeph’s

doubles tasted a little weak. The margaritas were perfect.

In short, El Guapo’s is a staple of local Denton culture. Huge portions of food, a well-rounded atmosphere, and inexpensive drinks definitely make for a great meal.

From promoting bands to booking shows to creating a compilation of local musicians, Bee’s Fifth Collective is striving to cultivate some of North Texas’ up-and-coming talent.

The group of local promoters, musicians, and artists gave rise to the collective more than two years ago to present other musicians, filmmakers, and artists in the area.

Bee’s Fifth Collective hopes to do this by providing a free space for these artists in which to work.

“There isn’t a place in town where musicians and artists can go for free,“ musician and Bee’s Fifth Collective member Matthew Gray said. “It’s encouraging the arts scene because that is very important.”

The nonprofit group is raising money and working for grants to move into a space so artists and musi-cians will have a place to do their craft, rehearse and have a gallery to showcase their work.

“Once we have a performing arts space, it’s going to give them an alternative place to go,” Gray said. “Plus, we just want to offer something that’s cool.”

Ryan McAdams, singer and guitarist of Denton band This Old House, said being affiliated with Bee’s Fifth Collective has its benefits.

“Getting to know more people and more people knowing you through the collective has its advan-tages,” McAdams said.

The band has played some of the collective’s fund-raising shows and will play at its upcoming event on Nov. 29 at Dan’s Silverleaf with Unwed Sailor.

This Old House uses Bee’s Fifth as a way to network with other bands and venues, as well as a way to get new people to listen to their music.

“People know Bee’s Fifth, and since they like bands affiliated with them, they’ll probably come check us out, too,” McAdams said.

For Denton band This Old House, less is more.

With a simplistic, “ethereal” stage presence and an unlabeled genre, This Old House is making a name for itself in the Denton music scene.

T he fou r musicia ns — Rya n McAdams, guitar, vocals and song-writer; Michael Allison, drummer; Drew McCary, bass; and Kennon Talley, lead guitar — joined in April with no specific sound in mind, just the hope of having the enjoyment of playing

music together, McAdams said.

Collaboration of soundsA lt houg h fa ns a nd aud ience

members at This Old House’s past shows have described the band as folk, McAdams said the band does not characterize itself into any specific category.

“We play whatever feels comfort-able. We’re trying not to put a label on anything,” the advertising senior said.

With different musical backgrounds, all members of the band play a role in

the creation of their songs. “I think that is the most important

key to our band because it’s something different,” McAdams said. “We’re not trying to create something you hear everyday.”

While Talley, also an advertising senior, said he listens to classic rock and old-school country, McCary, a communications senior, said he brings his blues influences to the mix.

“That influence comes out for me just a bit sometimes,” McCary said. “It’s just hidden behind all of my spacey sounds.”

Letting creativity flowWith the band’s Denton show at Dan’s

Silverleaf coming up on Nov. 29, the band had not practiced in nearly three weeks. For the group, this is an important part of the band’s creative aesthetic.

“We actually barely ever practice. If you practice too much, it just has a very negative effect on our live perfor-mance,” McAdams said. “If it’s so struc-tured, you’re not really playing what you feel.”

McCary said the band works quickly and does not overthink its songs to get the sound it aims for.

This Old House’s music has been called “chill,” Talley said — not to be misinterpreted for boring, however.

“When we perform, we definitely groove and get into it,” Talley said. “But it’s not like an adrenaline-pumping show.”

Getting the Denton feelingIt has been a while since the band

played a Denton show, and the members are excited to be back, Talley said.

Unlike audiences in surrounding areas like Fort Worth and Dallas, Denton crowds stand out by far, McCary said.

“The kids here care about the music versus other places where people just show up like it’s a regular bar night and aren’t really there to engage and be a part of what’s happening,” McCary said.

After its upcoming show, This Old House will head back to the studio recording its first EP due at the end of spring 2010.

After, the group will begin to record its first full-length album and work to get onto the lineups at SXSW music festival in Austin and NX35 music festival in Denton.

calls for melting almond bark, which got a little messy. As the pecans baked in the oven, the wonderful warm smell reminded me of a fair.

These roasted pecans are really easy to make, and the ingredients were surprisingly cheap. This makes a lot of pecans, but if you want to make more, simply add half a tablespoon of butter and another two ounces of almond bark for every extra cup of pecans. It makes

for a great Thanksgiving Day snack or treat and is light enough not to overfill your stomach after your turkey indulgence.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Just one popcorn-and-soda combo can match the calorie-and-saturated-fat count of three McDonald’s Quarter Pounders and 12 pats of butter, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest’s review of popcorn sold at three national movie chains.

“A lot of people think they’re better off at the popcorn counter than at the candy counter, when in fact you’re not in good shape if you go to either,” said Jayne Hurley, nutritionist for the Washington-based group.

Hurley blamed the high saturated fat count on the coconut oil used to pop the corn at theaters run by Regal Entertainment Group and AMC Entertainment Inc.

Regal and AMC both said they tested healthier alternatives after a

similar 1994 analysis by CSPI, but they were unpopular with customers.

“Theater popcorn and movie snacks are viewed as a treat and not intended to be part of a regular diet,” Regal president and chief operating office Greg Dunn said in a prepared statement.

CSPI found that the 20-cup tub of popcorn at Regal theaters packs 1,200 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat, which Hurley said accounts for three days worth of saturated fat. An 11-cup (small) bucket has 670 calories and 34 grams of saturated fat.

And that doesn’t account for the “buttery” topping, every tablespoon of which adds another 130 calories.

A 16-cup bucket sold at AMC theaters contains 1,030 calories and 57 grams of fat, according to CSPI.

John Mayer’s new album is depressing, overproduced and easy to enjoy.

Relea sed Nov. 17, “Bat t le Studies,” Mayer’s fourth studio CD, includes 10 original songs and one cover that totals 46:36 of pure musical satisfaction.

Mayer mostly uses the pop-blues sound that won his second release, “Heavier Things,” two Grammy awards including Song of the Year.

“Battle Studies” does come up a bit short of that album in terms of songwriting, but the delight the album brings increases with every listen.

The LP begins with “Heartbreak Warfare,” by far the most over-done track.

The song opens with the sounds of the beginning of an orchestra performance. Faint tuning noises from string instruments warming up while people get to their seats and talking can be heard, as if Mayer is preparing his audience for what is to come.

The 10 songs written by Mayer for “Batt le Studies” have the tone of someone going through a brea k up (act ress Jen n i fer Aniston?), and the initial track is a good jumping off point.

The first single, “Who Says,” is a song all about getting stoned and being spontaneous. It’s not what people expect from the man who brought us “Daughters”

and “Waiting on the World to Change,” but its pop-folk sound and clever lyrics make the song fun even for listeners who don’t smoke pot.

Aside from the single, the two catchiest songs are “Perfectly Lonely” and “Assassin.” They both deserve the single treat-ment at some point.

The lone cover, “Crossroads,” fol lows t he fast-paced blues style from Cream’s version, but removes almost two minutes of the guitar solo.

If musical elitists were angered by his cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “Bold as Love” on his last album, they wil l f ind Mayer an easy target again. But his cover works because he doesn’t try to be Eric Clapton and does the song his own way.

E l it ists a re i mpossible to impress anyway.

“Battle Studies” comes to a f ina le w it h “Fr iends, Lovers or Nothing.” Like his first two a lbums, t he last song is t he longest of the compilation.

Mayer drives the heartbreak of his work home with seven repe-titions of “Anything other than ‘yes’ is ‘no’/ Anything other than ‘stay’ is ‘go’/ Anything less than ‘I love you’ is lying.”

The two other members of the

‘Battle Studies’ good, but not Mayer’s best

1. “Heartbreak Warfare”2. “All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye”3. “Half Of My Heart”4. “Who Says”5. “Perfectly Lonely”6. “Assassin”7. “Crossroads”8. “War Of My Life”9. “Edge Of Desire”10. “Do You Know Me”11. “Friends, Lovers or Nothing”

Battle Studies

John Mayer trio, bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve Jordan recorded with Mayer to give the album a crisp sound.

I f t h i s work w a s i ndeed inspired by Aniston, let’s hope that whoever inspires his next album can help him match the intensity.

C elebr at i n g t he a l bu m’s release, Mayer played at 16-song set live from the Beacon Theatre

in New York City for the Fuse channel Tuesday night. As good as the pop versions of the songs are on the CD, Mayer took them to a new level live.

T he problem w it h “Batt le Studies” is that it’s his follow up album to “Continuum,” and that is too hard to top.

So even though it’s not his best work, “Batt le Studies” is st i l l worth every penny.

Musician John Mayer performs at the Michael Jackson public memorial service on July 7 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Drivers heading toward Lake Ray Roberts may have to share the road Saturday afternoon.

Denton Breakfast Kiwanis will host its 27th-annual Turkey Roll Bicycle Rally at 9 a.m. Saturday at the North Texas State Fairgrounds.

Riders may choose between four courses, which are 23, 35, 47 and 63 miles in length, each course having rest stops about every 10 miles.

“Proceeds go to our various youth activities, which include sponsoring what we call ‘K Family Clubs,’” said Jack Becker, a business professor and board member of Denton Kiwanis.

Joe Holland, former presi-dent of Denton Kiwanis, said he started the event in 1982 as a bicycle rally for Denton.

“I chose to have it in the late fall rather than spring so it would be something that we could manage and because of the lack of competition for events this time of year,” Holland said.

Holland, who is also the owner of Denton Bicycle Center on Elm Street, said this is the primary fundraiser for Kiwanis, and it takes a lot of work.

“It’s one of these things that when you’re finished with it on Saturday afternoon, you can step back and say we did some good,” Holland said.

Several sponsors have contrib-uted to the rally, including the Denton Bicycle Center, which has been involved with the event since it began.

Tonight, some of the staff from the center will set up signs marking the course.

There will also be a spaghetti dinner benefiting the Denton Area Boy Scouts at the fair-grounds tonight, which cyclists are invited to attend.

“Typically before a long ride like that, you want to have spaghetti, pasta or something with carbs to fill up your energy source so you’ll have plenty of energy the next day,” said Steve Scaggs, an employee of the Bicycle Center.

To keep motivated, Holland suggests for riders to focus on finishing a little at a time rather than the entire course.

Steve Scaggs sells and � xes bicycles at the Denton Bicycle Center at 1700 N Elm St. The center is one of many sponsors of the Turkey Roll Bicycle Rally, which kicks o� 9 a.m. Saturday.

“Rather than thinking of it as riding 63 miles, just ride 10 more miles, and at the next rest stop, take inventory of what’s going on and make it to the next one.” Holland said.

Signs will be posted about every half-mile to help the riders, Becker said.

Almost 450 participants have registered, and 300 more are expected the day of the rally, Becker said.

Fifteen shovels will hit the dirt Saturday morning, marking the end of a long, tumultuous journey and the start of another.

After years of planning, the new stadium will become a reality, with everyone from UNT President Gretchen Bataille and Denton mayor Mark Burroughs to alumni and current students present to witness the event.

“This is huge for the past, present and future of this univer-sity,” said head football coach Todd Dodge. “This will create the proper atmosphere for students, alumni, and our players, and will be a big asset in terms of recruiting.”

The new stadium will replace 57-year-old Fouts Field as the new home of Mean Green football starting with the 2011 season.

The alumni base will be counted on to do most of the future fundraising for the stadium, but Saturday is a day of celebration for the former UNT students who are excited about the potential of the new stadium.

“It is like waiting for Christmas,

Sept. 2011 can not get here fast enough,” said Jordan Case, chair of the stadium steering committee, former Mean Green quarterback and UNT Hall of Famer. “It is like waking up from a dream and actually witnessing it happen.”

The new stadium will feature 21 luxury suites, which are being leased out to alumni based on donations.

The minimum donation required to lease a suite is $100,000, which will be a large portion of the fundraising effort.

“We are telling our donors to believe it and be a part of it,” campaign director Diane Crane said. “Our alumni are leading the way and helping us to raise as much as we can.”

Thousands are expected to be in attendance when those first 15 holes are dug.

“There is a ton of excitement generating from our season ticket holders, Mean Green club members and the community as a whole,” Crane said. “People have been looking forward to this for a long time, and we are expecting a huge turnout on Saturday.”

the opportunity the stadium will present for students and the foot-ball program for years to come.

“There is nothing greater than Saturday afternoons in college,” Case said. “I want the students and athletes at UNT to be proud of the stadium they have and enjoy their time in college. These are the greatest four years of your life and you need to have the best

time that you can.”UNT’s football team is the

seventh youngest in the nation and will be on hand to watch the birth of its new home.

“This is something that the university needs, and I am really honored that I will be part of the first team to play in the new stadium,” said quarterback Riley Dodge, a history redshirt

freshman. The ceremony will begin at 11

a.m. Saturday with the official groundbreaking at the Athletic Center on Bonnie Brae Street. All students are encouraged to attend the event.

“We are finally to that day where it’s all coming together and finally seeing those shovels hit the ground,” Todd Dodge said.

Reminder

BY AMBER ARNOLDSenior Staff Writer

The center of UNT’s human resources and information technology divisions may be housed in Dallas if university officials approve the move.

The topic was a last-minute addition to the agenda of the Board of Regents meeting Thursday.

Chancellor Lee Jackson recommended that human resources and information technology at UNT collabo-rate with their sister divisions at the UNT-Dallas campus.

The change would center those operations in Dallas.

“It is timely and offers oppor-tunities to us,” Jackson said regarding the item. “However, we would have to have a lot more answers than we do.”

The proposal comes after top UNT officials officially relocated to the Universities Center in downtown Dallas earlier this semester.

Functions that are specific to a UNT campus and would not benefit from a shared service approach should be subject to coordination but not governed directly by a gover-nance council, according to the meeting’s agenda.

Before the discussion, Gordon Jones and Ryan Senter, representatives from the Alvarez and Marsal consulting firm, presented the findings from their study of UNT, UNT Dallas, and UNT Health Science Center.

They found there was a high degree of overlap and redun-dancy among the activities of HR and IT at the campuses, according to their presenta-tion.

Jones and Senter also agreed that too much data is entered manually, resulting in a higher potential for errors.

“Paper-pushing only slows down the process,” Senter said.

Board members expressed different concerns during the discussion after the consul-

tants’ presentation.Jackson said he does not

want to invoke too much change at once and is not sure about all of the suggestions from the consultants until there is more discussion.

“I don’t think we can spring-board from where we are now to such a different plan,” he said.

Jack s on re c om mend s creating a shared services council made of representa-tives from the three campuses, the UNT System and consul-tants to decide the best ways of implementing the model.

The timeline for imple-menting this shared service model is outlined in the brief.

A shared services council will develop a plan that will be presented to the chancellor by July 2011, according to Jackson’s recommen-dation.

This will be a five-year plan including all capital, operating

and personnel expenses.Board member Brint Ryan

argued that this timeline is too long and could eat up money.

“I think we can set a great example for other higher learning institutions. I’d hate to think of us coming in second to Texas Tech,” Ryan said in a comment that garnered laughter from everyone on the board.

Ryan recommended the shared service council be made of the three presidents of the UNT campuses and include finance and accounting.

The discussion lasted two hours, and, in the interest of time, the board members decided to make amendments to the recommendation and postpone the vote until today’s meeting.

The Board of Regents will meet 9 a.m. today at the Murchison Performing Arts Center. The meeting is open to all faculty, staff and students.

Regents consider move to Dallas

Inter nat iona l Educat ion Week’s festivities continued Thursday with a lively debate about the U.S.’s dependence on coal for energy.

About 60 people attended the event “Big Coal: A Debate,” sponsored by UNT Debate and UNT International.

Four debate team members a rg ued t he major i ssues presented in Jef f Goodell’s “Big Coal,” this year’s selec-tion for the “One Book, One Community” program.

“Coal has caused devas-t a t i n g a c c i d e n t s , l a r g e a mounts of a ir pol lut ion, increased g loba l wa rming and has detrimentally altered people’s culture,” said Ezra He r n a n d e z , a n E n g l i s h senior.

The event was set up in a public policy style with both sides framing their arguments around a resolution stating that the U.S. should reduce its consumption of coal.

Her na ndez a nd Shelby Pr yor, a pol it ica l science freshman, affirmed the reso-lution.

Political science freshmen Eric Wey and Farhad Mirzadeh negated it.

Hernandez began the affir-mative arguments by speaking about t he env i ron menta l effects of coal mining.

Hernandez and Pryor said pollution from mining affects peoples’ water supplies and health.

They cal led for a sw itch to greater use of alternative energy such as wind and solar power.

A new editor-in-chief was selected Tuesday to lead the Daily for the spring semester, and the veteran reporter said she plans to broaden the paper’s coverage beyond campus borders.

T h e U N T P u b l i c a t i o n s Committee voted unanimously to give Shaina Zucker, a jour-nalism senior, leader-ship of the school paper. Zucker has worked as a news reporter, arts & life reporter and section editor during her time at the paper, which began when she was a freshman.

“Everybody here is like my family, so it’s going to be diffi-cult to be in a leadership posi-tion, but I look forward to the challenge,” she said.

As managing editor for the fall semester, Zucker taught student reporters how to improve their writing and edited their news stories for accuracy and fair-ness.

The Daily is more than a “run-of-the-mill” student newspaper, said Zucker

“There’s so much more here that we should be covering,” she said. “Stories that are important to all Denton residents as well as UNT students.”

Zucker’s experience and passion for journalism will push her to meet the high expecta-tions of an editor, said Kathie

Hinnen, faculty adviser for the Daily.

Hinnen said Zucker’s fall internship with The Dallas Morning News helped develop the necessary judgment for running a newspaper.

“Through her years of work at other positions at the Daily, she has shown her interest in and dedication to serving the students and the UNT community,” Hinnen said. “As editor, she will continue to do that with renewed focus and energy.”

Hinnen said it’s important for a newspaper to be as inclusive as possible.

“She really means it when she says she wants the paper to be open to everybody and to serve everybody with good, solid jour-nalism,” she said.

Courtney Roberts, assigning editor and a journalism senior, worked closely with Zucker and described her as a meticulous editor who pushes reporters to challenge themselves.

“She’s also good at being able to look at the bigger picture,” Roberts said. “And she’s helped me learn that, too.”

Each semester brings new challenges, but it’s worth it to see students and professors reading the paper each day, Zucker said.

“It makes me feel like we’ve made a difference in their lives,” she said.

After some initial delays, completion of a light rail line from Carrollton to Denton was back on track Tuesday.

The Denton County Transit Authority’s A-Train project was originally scheduled for comple-tion in December of 2010.

The DCTA had to push the deadline back to summer of 2011 in part because the city of Carrollton expressed concerns about a new bridge the train would use, said Dee Leggett, DCTA vice president of commu-nications and planning.

The proposed bridge was on a

floodplain near Carrollton.“They were worried about

how that would affect water flow downstream,” Leggett said.

The matter was sett led when the DCTA agreed to use an existing bridge that didn’t present a possible flood hazard.

Construction of the line has also been held up in Denton because the proposed route comes close to a water main near downtown.

“We have some signifi-cant utilities easements in that corridor that have to be protected,” said Jim Engelbrecht, a Denton city councilman. “You

can’t just have people digging around out there.”

Leggett said that DCTA has agreed to move the water main further from the tracks to reduce the risk of damaging it from the vibrations produced by the trains.

Money to build the A-Train was delivered to the Denton County Transit Authority in March.

$250 million of the $314 million for the project comes from the Regional Toll Revenue Funding Initiative, the rest from local sales taxes in Denton, Lew isv i l le and Highland Village.

New A-train construction rolls on after delaysThe delays have not had

an impact on the cost of the railroad yet, Leggett said. She added that the cost will go up if the summer deadline is not reached.

When finished, the line will connect downtown Denton to Carrollton along a route that runs roughly parallel to Interstate Highway 35W.

T he pla n i ncludes f ive stations along the route: two in Denton, two in Lewisville and one in Highland Village.

At the Carrollton end, the rail will connect to DART’s Green Line, which will extend to Tr init y Mi l ls Road by December 2010.

Once the A-Train is complete, Denton residents will be able to get to downtown Dallas via train. Leggett said the train will use low f loor cars that allow easy access for passen-gers.

“If you’re in a wheelchair, you can just roll right onto the train,” Leggett said.

The cars will also include bicycle storage, a handy feature for students who commute, Leggett said.

Construction was origi-nally planned to begin at the Carrollton and Denton ends of the line and meet in the middle.

Delays at the ends have forced the North Texas Rail Group, the contractor building the lines, to start in the middle instead.

Kimberly Durnan, public information manager for the group, said construction is proceeding in spite of delays.

The contractor is working in Lewisville and Corinth. Construction in Denton is expected to begin soon.

“North Texas Rail Group plans to begin construction in Denton starting at Swisher Road and building north,” Durnan said. “We’ve got plenty of work to do.”

In addition to the bridge and water main issues, there has been some difficulty deter-mining how to preserve hike-

and-bike trails along a portion of the route.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit owns the right to develop rail services on the corridor, but the city of Denton has been negotiating to preserve the trails. The matter has not delayed construction.

Leggett said Denton, DART and the DCTA were close to an agreement.

“We all want the same goal,” Leggett said. “ We all want the A-Train up and running.”

Engelbrecht said he was unfazed by the delays.

“These things just take time. I personally would rather take our time and worked out prop-erly,” he said. “If they can bring this in by May 2011, it would be good.”

Wey and Mirzadeh argued that the coal industr y has improved its technology and practices to lessen its envi-ronmental impact.

Saturday will be a day of celebration in Denton with t he groundbrea k ing cere-mony for UNT’s new football stadium, the football team’s senior day, and the recogni-tion of the men and women who serve this country.

The Army Black Knights (4-6) will be honored along with UNT’s seniors before the game on Saturday, and the game ball will be parachuted in from a Black Hawk heli-copter by Army soldiers.

“Any time you have a chance to play one of the service acad-emies it is a chance to show your respect for everything they do for us,” head coach Todd Dodge said. “There is a very good chance that they could be sent overseas at any t ime, so any thing that we can do to honor them, we are going to do.”

The Black K nig hts w i l l make it no secret as to what it s of fensive st rateg y is, coming in as one of a handful of schools that still run the triple option.

Army averages 50 rushes per game and has the No. 14 rushing of fense in t he country, averaging more than 213 yards per game.

This w il l be the second time UNT (2-8, 1-6) has faced the triple option in the Todd Dodge era.

In 2007 against Navy, the

result was the highest scoring game in the history of NCAA football, a 74-62 Mean Green loss that saw Navy rush for 572 yards.

“The thing about playing the service academy teams is that they are very disciplined, and that is what it takes to run the triple option,” said defen-sive end Eddrick Gilmore, a criminal justice senior. “In order to stop them we have to show that same level of disci-pline on defense. It is assign-ment football and we have got to stay with our assign-ments.”

Leading the charge for the Mean Green’s 29th-ranked rushing attack will be running back Lance Dunbar, a soci-olog y sophomore, who is coming off his sixth 100-yard rushing performance of the season.

The “Green Blur” is having one of the most productive seasons in the Mean Green’s history, ranking in the top-five all-time in rushing yards, touchdowns and yards per carry.

T h e B l a c k K n i g h t s ’ 13th-ranked defense allows less than 300 total yards per game, and will try to limit the Mean Green offensively by controlling the tempo of the game.

“We have to put a premium on execution and playing well on first down,” Todd Dodge said. “They want to keep the

Division rivals set to square off at Cowboys Stadium

ARLINGTON, (AP) — Using the most basic fact, the argu-ment could be made that Washington is playing better than any other team in the NFC East right now.

Yes, those 3-6 Redskins without Clinton Portis. Better even than the division-leading Dallas Cowboys, who they play Sunday in the 99th game of their ever-bitter rivalry.

Simply put, the last-place Redskins are the only NFC East team that won its last game. Could it be the sign of a turn-around toward a late-season surge?

“I just sense that we won one game, we won our third game of the season. That’s really all I can sense,” coach Jim Zorn said. “Being 3-6, it’s not a record that just bodes of competitiveness, but our players have not thrown in the towel. We’re just trying to climb our way out of this hole we’ve dug.”

Washington took a positive step with a 27-17 victory over AFC West leader Denver, scoring its most points for Zorn since his second game as coach last season. Ladell Betts ran for 114 yards in place of Portis (concus-sion) even with the Redskins’ fifth different starting offensive line combination this season.

The New York Giants haven’t won in more than a month — a four-game losing streak since their 5-0 start — and Philadelphia has lost two in a row. Even Dallas (6-3), which had won four straight, needed a late touchdown just to avoid being shut out last weekend by desperate Green Bay.

“It’s going to be a tough chal-lenge for us,” Cowboys receiver Roy Williams said. “They’re pretty much in the position as Green Bay last week. They’re looking for this game to be their momentum swing and we just can’t let that happen two weeks in a row.”

After an impressive recovery f rom t heir 2-2 start t hat including a loss in Denver, the Cowboys have to make sure a downward spiral doesn’t continue after the 17-7 loss in

Green Bay. Williams’ touch-down catch came with 38 seconds left. “It was a lonely feeling in the end zone because it didn’t matter,” he said this week.

“We had a good run, but now from here on out we have to earn our victories. It’s just that simple,” Bradie James said. “Let’s start a new streak, that’s what it’s about.”

Dallas has two games in a f ive-day span, following the Redskins with another winnable game: Thanksgiving Day against struggling Oakland. Then it’s a trip to New York to face the Giants, whose last-play field goal in Week 2 ruined the Cowboys’ debut in their new stadium.

While Zorn is trying to keep one victory in perspective, consider that U2’s “Beautiful Day” was blaring from the speakers this week during a Redskins practice — and it was a sentiment no one could really argue with for a change. Their previous two wins had come against Tampa Bay and St. Louis, a pair of 1-8 teams.

“Coming off last week’s

victory, we’ve definitely got confidence. It was a big confi-dence-builder for us,” Rock Cartwright said.

“You’ve got to keep it rolling. That’s the whole objective,” receiver Devin Thomas said. “You can never give up on a season just because things have gone bad. We knew we were just one click away from hitting on all cylinders.”

With a win in Dallas, the Redskins would be only two games out of the NFC East lead with six games to play, three against the other divi-sion teams — including the Cowboys at home two nights after Christmas.

Da l las, whose 57 w ins against Washington are more than against any other team, doesn’t want things to get that close. The dismal day in Green Bay likely got the Cowboys’ attention.

“It sobers you, you realize you can lose,” coach Wade Phillips said.

“I don’t think it’s a sign of trouble. We lost before we got on the four-game win streak,” Williams said.

ball in the hands of their offense and just sit on it to run out the clock. Their goal is to shorten the game, so we have got to take advantage of scoring opportunities.”

Quarterback Riley Dodge will face the best pass defense he has seen this season when he stares across the line at the No. 3 pass defense and one of the best pass rushers in the country.

Army’s Josh McNary ranks third nationally with his 11.5 sacks, which cou ld cause problems for the Mean Green offensive line that has given up six sacks in the last two weeks.

“I have got to be smart w ith the bal l and just get it in the hands of my play-makers quickly,” said Riley Dodge, a histor y redshirt freshman. “Teams don’t get many possessions against them, so we have got to put points on the board ever y time we get the ball.”

“I have all the respect in the world for these guys and what t hey go t hrough for us,” Riley Dodge said. “It is a great opportunity for us to say thank you.”

Fans can show their support for the Mean Green at the last pep rally of the season beginning at 7 tonight at Clark Park.

Saturday’s groundbreaking festiv it ies wil l begin at 11 a.m. at the Athletic Center on Bonnie Brae, and everyone is welcome to attend. The final home game of the season will begin at 3 p.m. with UNT’s 12 seniors being honored before-hand.

“This is my last chance in front of the home crowd,” said cornerback Adryan Adams, a sociology senior. “It has been so much fun and I am pumped up to go out and end this with a victory and a celebration.”

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fi ll all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9
