It's a legitimate question. How CAN you watch? Best suggestion is with a lot of good whiskey and someone to give you hugs.

Oh man SMU hires some old guys to play and we're bad in second game and people are all down. Look I'm happy if we can consistently win more than lose and especially the home games. So I'm holding off judgement til later in the season.

It is great that NT is finally in the actually ranked group of National Universities. One serious problem with the category is the inclusion of a bunch of tiny schools that hardly anyone has ever heard of. There is simply no comparing the mighty William Carey University, enrollment 3,191 to NT, enrollment 31,347. If you take just the recognizable schools that have enrollment more than 17,000, nationwide there are only 9 that separate NT from TX Tech and only 24 that separate NT from Alabama which is a pretty good school for a really big school. (LSU and Arkansas are also ranked the same as Alabama but are not comparable in enrollment.) It is a big step forward for NT but US News should do something to make the 'National' category more about larger/more significant schools with more complete programs and recognizable brands.

Does Mack understand that their basketball team is not eligible for the CFP?

Crown Zone. Nailed it!

I like the look. It’s very sci fi and futuristic. I want a football with ethereal green plasma flames that no one on the other team can touch.

They certainly changed the game with that cannon, though it was not a change for the better. Well it was better for the rest of us.

This is all part of the University of Central Texas’ plan to develop ‘Regional Rivalries in the new reality of college football’!

The ACC. With global warming, the North Texas region could be coastal. Louisville got in.

I wish they had not put such a cruddy looking floor with the eagle. They should put a smaller eagle in place of 'North Texas' on the one with the building.

That's a cool story; thanks for sharing it! NT pride!

It's a disaster. There's nothing to keep the chickens from getting out.

Absolutely. As for 'splitting the market' with SMU, who cares? The market is several times bigger than most other 'markets'.

Yes to MW. Only home games matter; those are better brand opponents.

Neither have the Panthers lately! Well it was about all they could do to get a program together. They are probably struggling with the reality of the commitments needed to be competitive in the sport now. But I think they will get it together and be an asset. Unless we can get to a better conference, they’re a better match for us than most of the other schools at our level.
