I would enjoy watching a game in that stadium. Let's hope UNT adds Baylor to their future non-conference schedule.

Actually, UNT will have three crossover games in 2014....In my humble opinion, C-USA should have been content with 12 teams. Replace Tulane, Tulsa, and East Carolina with WKU, then call it a day. That gives us two 6-team divisions, allowing for 5 division, plus three crossover games per year. The three crossover games allows us to play each team out East twice over a four year period.

Emerald Bowl. Go Trojans!

Are you serious? Your next car purchase will be based on whether bailout funds were accepted? If that's the case, then you are missing out on a great lineup from Chevrolet. Ok, I'll take a similar F-150 over a Silverado, but that's about it. I'll take the following: 2009 Malibu > 2009 Fusion 2010 Camaro > 2010 Mustang Corvette > Ford Shelby GT500 Suburban > Expedition Honestly, the list goes on. And when comparing GM to other Ford brands, I'll take a Cadillac over a Lincoln any day of the week. Mercury? Do they still exist? http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/09/report-...lers-dying-off/

I had the same thought about Utah. If they win and don't get a share of the national championship, then they have the biggest gripe of any team this season. It's too bad that major college football has to end in controversy every year. It's all getting very old. Oh well, thank goodness for high scholl football and the NFL.

How 'bout them Redskins! I'm glad to see someone new in the BCS mix, but I don't think Texas Tech will win against OU.

I hope Jerry Jones and Wade Phillips watched this game. Maybe it'll sway them to pick a defensive back in the draft. Defense wins championships!

Right in the heart of the campus. My friend and I had a good look at the stadium when we were in Miami this past December. Too bad the jerk on the construction site would not allow us to take pictures. I guess it was the North Texas shirts we were wearing that upset him.

Great football topic!

I have several co-workers who are graduates of smu. they only care about one game - tcu. trust me, unt is not even on their radar.

I pick Ohio State to win. Last year's defeat in the BCS title game should be the biggest motivating factor the Buckeyes. Plus, I want them to win because it will end any controversy of a split national title. Goodness knows USC, Georgia, and West Virginia will be pulling for LSU.

Looks like Kansas is holding their own.

I agree. Outdoor hockey is great for the NHL.

You're right JesseMartin, a CNN Legal Analyst and former Federal Prosecutor should have no business commenting on this matter. I don't know what the powers-that-be at CNN were thinking.

Because they were illegal aliens, drug dealers, and gang members, they deserved to die? What does their character have to do with them being shot?

You have to feel somewhat for Mr. Horn. His actions, right or wrong, have placed his name all over the Internet. I'm sure all of the unwanted attention around this controversial topic is unhealthy for a man who doesn't appear to be in the best of shape. However, just like the two burglars, Mr. Horn is now facing the consequences of his actions. This topic is far from being cut and dry. Certainly strong cases can be made for both sides, but I will not call Mr. Horn a hero. That's ridiculous. I found this excerpt from CNN.com. You can decide for yourself. KING: Joining me now, Jeffrey Toobin, CNN senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor. Jeff, let's start from the beginning. This is fascinating stuff, when you listen to these audio recordings. But Joe Horn has not been charged. Do you think he will be? And, if so, does he have a defense? JEFFREY TOOBIN, CNN SENIOR LEGAL ANALYST: Well, you know, on the letter of the law, it sure looks like he's guilty of probably something, and perhaps even just murder, because think about what he did. He had -- warned repeatedly not to use his -- not to go out and use his gun. He's told that these there -- there are non-uniform, there are plainclothes officers in the area. And he takes a shotgun out there, which sprays, you know, shot all over the place. I mean, he engaged in incredibly dangerous behavior, and he killed two people. But, you know, I hate to engage in regional profiling, but this is Texas. And you can see, a lot of people are going to be sympathetic to him. KING: You mentioned, this is Texas. It's an American tradition, but certainly a frontier tradition, you have the right to protect your own property. Have you ever heard of a right to protect your neighbor's property? TOOBIN: I never have, but this is why there are grand juries, because grand juries can decide, under all the circumstances, that there's not a -- there's no right to -- that -- that -- that there's no case to be made here. Certainly, on the facts of these cases, this does not appear to be anything like self-defense, which Texas law and every state's law allows. But, again, the grand jury made say, hey, let him go. KING: You mentioned the -- the operator at the top. The operator was one cool customer. TOOBIN: Right. KING: He repeatedly said, don't go out is there, sir, repeatedly said, there are police officers out there, repeatedly said, don't get your gun. Do not do it. If this case were to go to trial, how much of a problem would that be, the cool and repetitive nature of the warnings? TOOBIN: You know, we -- we often, in the press, sometimes criticize 911 operators. But, boy, I have to say, I was so impressed by -- by this operator here. I think it's a big problem for Joe Horn, because this operator is giving precisely the rational, intelligent advice that you would hope someone like this would give. KING: And let's listen to a little bit more of it here. In another part of that call, Joe Horn actually references a new law on the books in Texas that he thinks gives him the legal right to get that gun and go outside. Let's listen. (BEGIN AUDIO CLIP) HORN: OK, but I have a right to protect myself, too, sir. 911 OPERATOR: Yes, you do. HORN: And you understand that. (CROSSTALK) HORN: And the laws have been changed in this country since September the 1st. And you know it and I know it. 911 OPERATOR: I understand that. HORN: I have a right to protect myself. (END AUDIO CLIP) KING: "You know it and I know it." Jeff, he's actually talking about the so-called castle doctrine. That was a state law, not a national law. But it went into effect in Texas on September 1. Could Joe Horn use this in his defense? TOOBIN: I don't think so, because it refers to a property owner. It refers to self-defense on your property, your own castle. That's why they call it the castle law. This is not an attack on his -- on his property. This is an attack on his next-door neighbor's property. KING: And we talked about the operator's demeanor on that call. You just heard Joe Horn there. His attorney has suggested his client was afraid for his safety. Do you get that sense from listening to the call? And, even if so, is that a defense? TOOBIN: No. I mean, I read the full transcript, heard this call. He does not appear to be someone who's in a panic. It's a very cool and rather chilling determination to go out and use his gun, against the instructions of the 911 operator. KING: This is a fascinating episode, a potential legal case. We will keep track of it. Jeffrey Toobin, thanks very much. TOOBIN: OK, John.

Gumbel is just flat out boring. His monotone nature makes the game less enjoyable. Thank goodness Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk are holding their own during tonight's game.

I am not an Atlanta Falcons fan, but I find it unacceptable for Petrino to resign after 13 games. Give the team, its fans, and your boss the decency to wait until after the season. Yes, I know he did not ask for the Michael Vick drama, but Vick's absence from the team is old news. I'm sure Arthur Blank must be extremely embarrassed because he gave Petrino nothing but the highest of praise last night on Monday Night Football. Clearly, he was not expecting his resignation. Petrino's resignation also brings up the issue of college coaches making the transition to the NFL. I simply think in most cases, the transition will fail. I cannot explain exactly why, but it clearly did not work for Spurrier, Saban, and now Petrino. I hope Lane Kiffin proves me wrong.

What an exciting, but scary game. Scary because I fear a late regular season loss could hurt this team's confidence. Even with their magnificent season, the Cowboys still need to prove to the critics that they can win in December, and more importantly, win a playoff game. Go Cowboys!!

i've been in miami with two friends since thursday. I don't expect a large crowd, but I wanted to see the orange bowl before it's torn down.

I would feel a lot better in picking mizzou if this game were being played at arrowhead. it's more of a gut feeling rather than a statement with any solid backing...give me the sooners by 7.

I know eli manning had a horrible game yesterday, but I think the giants at home can give the pats a good game. however, the giants this season are 3 - 3 at home; 4 - 1 on the road.

I recall fans around the NFL were saying the same thing about Wade Phillips - steady, but boring. If Sherman starts winning big games in his first season, then Aggie fans should be happy. Any Aggies on this board? I'm interested in reading your opinion.

Today's DMN reported Terry Glenn's return to play has been slowed because of swelling in his knee. Sorry, but I just don't see him coming back this season. The Redskins are still in the hunt for a wild card, but so are the Saints, Eagles, Vikings, and Cardinals. The Lions hold the final wild card with their 6 - 5 record, but with Kitna running the offense, they are bound to stumble. I still like the Cowboys on Thursday night, but I'm very nervous about Favre's big-play ability. It'll definitely be a great game.
