[Best BBQ in each Texas college football town]

About once a week…of course, my discount doesn’t hurt

I understand 407 is a good friend to law enforcement. Another reason to support. Also decided pretty quickly they were going to be open for business during COVID times. I felt compelled to splurge and it didn't take much arm twisting.

407 is my choice, but it is a treat for me. Expensive, thus rare. Metzlers will always be in the top 3. Lots of meat options, great sides and most important, shares my deep love for the Mean Green.

@Brett Vito reported it was Mooney intercepted by BJ Allen. Cash threw the second pick 6 to Ridge Texada.

Reading green numbers on black jerseys is tough but I believe Mooney threw the first pick 6. Were official stats every published anywhere?

Sriracha won the Corgi race. And it wasn't even close.

Immediately entered the transfer portal.

[SB at South Florida (3/28-30/24)]

More "late inning heroics." This team grinds until the last out.

Everyone is contributing. Proud of this series win.

[SB vs. UT Arlington (3/26/24)]

It is free access. I have gone there a few times over the years, usually when I can only see an inning or two.

You miss so much of the nuance back there, but it is a fun time. Some are grilling or otherwise tailgating.

[SB vs. UT Arlington (3/26/24)]

Great job organizing, Matt. Fun fan time for all. Enjoyed the banter and breadth of topics, as is likely to occur when fellas gather for the talking sport.

There is value, lots of it, when fans coordinate and gather together, especially for away games where there may not be lots of Green in the crowd. The more together we are, the louder we are. 

Really appreciated the ladies coming over after the game to thank us for being there. Ladies, thank YOU!

Mikayla is on one this year! Sixth homer already after 9 last year. Hopefully we won't need late game heroics to complete the sweep tomorrow.

 

We did. And it was awesome.

[UTRGV Leaves WAC for Southland]

Proportionately to pay an exit fee of $2 million to leave the WAC is the equivalent of Clemson's battle with the ACC. The struggle is real.

[LSU (3/19/24)]

Not many of us there....but it was fun to see the win. I sat in GA, talked with a few LSU fans. All were nice, but clearly disappointed. The last LSU game I saw was a 49-7 beat down football game in 1995. My wife was pregnant (Ian turned 28 today), wasn't feeling well and stayed at the hotel while I went to that game solo. Not as pleasant of an atmosphere that day.

Physically, it looked like LSU was the bigger, stronger team. NT simply outhustled them, wanted it more, on this night. This is absolutely fun basketball to watch. I love our guys.

As the game was winding down, I went down to the reserved seats area where the vast majority of our fans sat. Briefly met a few players parents, celebrated the win and relived that two handed baseline dunk (arguably his second best play of the night) from AScott with his dad. Great win!

BTW, parking was free in the track and field lot, probably elsewhere, and ticket was $10. When I walked up to the ticket office, they gave me the ticket for free.

[UNT vs LSU]

Hmmm. I am working in New Orleans this week. If they play Tuesday, I have a shot.

[WBB conference quarterfinal vs. Rice (3/11/24)]

Another CUSA winner.

[Worst call of all time? Yes.]

Help me lads. Wasn't the other Cash TD pass just as egregious? Either way, my memory is shady because I thought that first TD pass was also in the second half, not in the first half.

I'd also like a little more context on our last drive, the FG. We stalled inside the 20, I believe, and kick a FG. How did we get there?

 

It was a great game, yet the outcome so defeating. But it was the most humble I have ever seen the Texas fan. Saying that as a UT transfer who had 45 yard line seats in the two seasons I was at Texas (78-79). The most I ever enjoyed a Texas game.

[QB commit - Chandler Morris - transfer from TCU]

I’ll have none of that nonsense!!!

 

Chandler Morris was 100% never truly committed to North Texas (though there’s zero evidence to back this up), and was 100% headed to Texas State as a way to secure his father’s commitment as a coach (though there’s zero evidence to back this up), and he 100% only stayed committed to North Texas when Texas State got the guy they wanted all along who had been available  in the portal for three months (though there’s zero evidence to back this up).   

A classic police procedural, police chief solo though.

An iconic and passionate fan, but more important an honorable service man to the citizens of Fort Worth. Thank you for your service, Rick.

They are gelling again, like they started the season. They got a win on the road. On to the next.

But first, the spoils of VICTORY.

Agree. And it was rushed. It was nice to see Kenneth Lyons back. And many, Jesse Ratliff still has the magnetic smile.

My favorite Super Pit Coliseum memory, apart from replacing orange seats with green, was the Pat Hicks jumper at the buzzer to beat Texas.

#MeToo my first NT athletic event as a Spring transfer. Glorious.

That the Dallas Cowboys are still deemed America's team is a metaphor for America. 

Including the part about its fans turning on each other.

[What is the story with Rubin Jones?]

No science here, just observation: 

Late in the game after he got injured at WichSt, coming out of a time out, he limped back to the bench, full weight on one leg and walking on his toes (like a tippy toe) on the bad leg. Seems to be a pretty serious hamstring pull.

Info you don't need to know: my worst hamstring pull was running my first half marathon (Cowtown). The UNTHSC staff that manned the medical tent said it would be at least three weeks to recover. It was four or five for this non-athlete.
