Breaking down some of the amazing run-stopping ability of the defense. In case you are wondering, I'm saving THE STAND for later. #GMG http://meangreennation.com/film-room-stopping-the-run/

Let's hassle the mess out of ESPN's College Football Final crew to see if we can get our guys a team helmet sticker. I'm sure Thursday games are rarely acknowledged on the show, but maybe a GMG.com campaign can do the trick... I think tweeting them using the info above is how to make our voice heard. I think I'm going to include the box score play by play image above but maybe a youtube video of the 8 plays would help. Does someone have The STAND isolated on youtube yet?

After the game.. I asked an RA that was on call at McConnell Hall (Directly west of bruce) if they could hear anything from the game Halloween night from outside the hall.. She said that she could hear the NORTH..TEXAS.. Made the night even more special after the mean green crushed Rice....thought i would share.

Not poo-pooing last nights most important win in program history. (History will prove it out.) BUT we did only score 14 offensive points. That fact has me concerned with regard to any opponent we face.

420.

The STAND feels like a defining moment in this season, if not Mac's tenure here. Hopefully, though, long-term defining moment is later in the season!

That's the new standard. Let's make all those that don't attend, hear our excitement.

BOOM.

So....do we light the tower, or the dumpster for an 8 point win over an NAIA school? Or both?

Pulled in the data from jhowell's historical scores and graphed them out. Total win wise (against only D1-A/FBS level schools), this is the best team since Dickey's 2004 team. Most people know that. However, digging a little deeper I found this. After throwing out any wins against non-D1A/FBS opponents and ties from the earlier years, I measured the wins based on our opponent's win percentage (which included non-D1A, sorry I don't have that kind of time). Any loss was counted as a 0% for the opponent's percentage to bring the average down. I can't know for sure without putting in days worth of work, but without diving into every opponent's schedule ever to determine D1A vs. D1AA, it appears that this team so far is the best team UNT has fielded since Hayden Fry's 1978 Eagles. Kinda shines a different light on the contract extension discussion.

I like Tulsa, but this win was good for us. * UTSA will be up for their home game against Tulane. * With a victory over Tulsa and possibly Tulane, UTSA will brind a significantly larger group to Apogee. This is a rivalry that we need to cultivate. * This demolition at home by UTSA may diminish the resolve of Tulsa, and a significant percent of their fan support will have quit on them by the time that we play there Thanksgiving weekend. That game may wind up being like a home game for North Texas.

UTSA with a Pick 6. This game is over. UTSA - 34 Tulsa 8 4th - 8:24

Wife went to be early, just hanging out with the dogs and watching the recording of the game last night with a little bit of wine. Gotta say this is the way to do it, enjoying the game a second time and trying to remind myself not to yell at the tv and wake the wife.... Love seeing all these plays again and can't wait to see The Stand! Even though obviously nothing is going to change since last night, something about the history of this program recently makes me hope that last night wasn't a dream.... Or that could be the wine talking...

I am pretty sure our coaches would have preferred us being at a football game over the things we were usually out doing on Halloween.

Jeesh. Didn't expect this thread I go so long. I will take my lumps and take a 4 hour upper level man course with professor UNT90.

Agree with you here...Coleman did look much improved and was one of the better players last night in my opinion. Really did not think I would ever post something along those lines. Really good to see. Coach Benford said he was one of our most improved players. Just might be.

But they serve neither Milwaukee's Best nor Coconut suntan lotion flavored beer.

If it makes anyone feel any better, UNLV lost to Dixie St last night. Not sure what their pre season rank is , but the Rebles are stacked w/ talent

Give Mac an extension

You know what's behind Mac's sunglasses? Chuck Norris' fists.

I seriously miss Johnny Jones.. imagine what North Texas Athletics would look like if he stayed...

Missed Wright

Jones, sarge, orr, trice, lee

Get there an hour earlier (3PM) and you can enjoy the Official Release of Royal Grub's incredible new line of salsas - conceived and made in DENTON TX USA. Armadillo Ale Works (Denton's Hometown Brewing Co.) will be releasing a special brew or two for the occasion as well. PLUS if you purchase a jar of Royal Grub OR a pint of the AAW you get to keep the glass. Go DENTON. GO MEAN GREEN.

I'll be rooting against Tulsa from here on out. Last thing we need is to be facing a 5 win team on their senior day

I plan to start tailgating Friday afternoon.

Hey guys I know I haven't posted in a long while but I get on daily.. great win last night, best student section I have ever been a part of.. Anyways wanted to say I got the gig as the play by play guy tonight for the exhibition game on NTTV.. I am an RTVF major and a senior and really happy to get this opportunity, so anyways if you cant make it out to the pit tonight tune in and ill try to deliver a good call! Appreciate it guys .. GMG

UNT won by 8.

Buyers is a sophomore, guys!

OKC budget vs. UNT budget...come on guys. UNT-CUSA, OKC, NAIA..come on guys.

Exb.) Don't mean anything! That being said I'm even more worried!

I noticed that UNT's football has been playing well this year so I made it a point to watch the game last night because I used to live in Denton for about 6 months. This team that North Texas has is special. We all need to be rooting for Tulane to get a loss because this team deserves a shot to go head to head for the championship of CUSA. I am very happy about that. I got to see the awesome defense last night. I knew from the Georgia game that this team was good but I had no idea how good. Excited for you guys and I am definently cheering you guys to always win the CUSA title.

Adios Miles Austin... Hello Brelan Chancellor!!!

Worried that a UTEP parent may try to have a claim for bullying?

I sit in the wingzone... it's too loud at times i'm also 27

I really didn't notice. I was too busy yelling at those kids to get off my damn lawn!!

My favorite Rice postgame reaction:

Let's see if I've got this right. CUSA has 6 bowl tie-ins for 2013 1. Liberty (Memphis) = CUSA Champ vs SEC #8 or American #5 2. Heart of Dallas (Dallas) = CUSA vs. Big Ten #7 3. Military (Annapolis) = CUSA vs. ACC #8 4. Beef O'Bradys (St Petersburg) = CUSA vs. American #6 5. Hawaii (Honolulu) = CUSA vs. MWC #5 6. RL Carrier (New Orleans) = CUSA vs. SBC #1 Outside of the Liberty the bowls don't have to pick in ranked order and can select the best draw for their bowl. CUSA bowl eligible teams will most likely be: Tulane, Rice, UNT, ECU, Marshall, MTSU So where does everyone end up? And how to do we stay out of the Hawaii bowl?

I'm not worried about UTSA. At all.

no idea... i just saw the score online... apparently UTSA has the ball again

I meant the sport in general. We're not the only fanbase that has complained about the new focus so far.

I like defense in basketball.

This is my concern. TULSA. Not necessarily because of Tulsa.... but IN Tulsa when it be mighty cold...... AND..... AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDD!!! MY ONLY UTEP WORRY: We really should be worrying about everyone staying healthy. THESE are the types of game where stupid injuries occur. Weirder things.....
