I have watched many a game on espn360.com. Usually a pretty good feed. This last month they started charging 4.99 per month. Still a good deal. But the new espn+ is crappy. only had a good picture for 1st qtr. Constant freezing and scrambling..I will cancel immediately after this game. I sure hope Nasa isn't using any feeds from espn !!!!!

The real question isn't "What if we hadn't thrown the interceptions?"...turning into UT scores....The question as I see it is.... "what if we threw no interceptions...and maybe still completed NO passes...just ran the ball-punt-etc and kept Texas on their end of the field. (best as possible)" Hmmm...??The Texas O didnt slaughter anybody last night.....In my selective memory, only 3 big runs...the rest chipped away at us with passes that our own offense couldnt execute. Our defense was remarkable for a first game. Some really good goal line work. Forced alot more 3&outs than I would have expected..although a few missed tackles....some really good hits!! And although Ash doesnt have a great arm either...He's adequate..and our DB's were fast enough that we took away the long ball.We have some good depth now at RB and decent depth on Defense with alot to look forward to. In my judgement....We had a great 1st half (except passing)....The defense was on the field way tooooo often and In the second half too long....tooooo tired !! 2 of the Texas tds came on 4th down gambles...barely getting in. AND A GREAT BIG SALUTE TO THE PUNTER...GREAT JOB !!..cool under pressure.

Still perplexed and a bit pissed....here are a few assholey sarcastic remarks I screamed at my radio last nite....just before I slung it by the cord across the road into traffic. 1. Why use 5+ pds per carry (Jimmerson) all over the damn field when you can run 1-2 yds up the middle over and over and over .... 2. We cant use the shuttle pass up the middle anymore....no that's been seen once and can never ever be used again......lets use that ever so dependable never before seen overthrown pass.....that'l get em. 3. Did the defense travel with the team this week ?? 4. Why be soooo half-assed with our tackling again tonite....just go ahead and miss alllllll of them. 5. Woweeee, we held them to only 2 punts !!! I know..I'm a hater

After watching 3 games....I'm thoroughly impressed with our offensive line !!! Very well coached ...dont give away plays with their splits.....far as I can remember...no illegal proceedure flags,....no holding calls......and best of all, NO SACKS !!!! We had a great line back in the Cobb and Thomas days.....but these guys are already solid and we'll have them around for a long time.

I have no intention of trying to insult anyone specific on this forum. However, it is always a byproduct of actually telling the truth. And the truth is...... You guys would be just fine with a "quitter" from another school that would COME TO UNT. ESPECIALLY if said player was the integrel part of a winning team. I wish I could see all those posts now about how glad we were that Tyler Stratford had left OU. THAT seemed to be ok with everybody. In the future...will you be rejecting tranfers because of their obvious lack of integrity...why would we want them on OUR field ??? After all, they committed one time to somebody..and since that didnt work out...due to health,finacial aid,coaching changes,etc...that all wont matter ! They should just quit and give up their sport all together. Aw HELL NO, dont come to THIS school.....We'd rather you just quit and shrink into nothingness than to try and make the best of it. How dare you as a player..try to transfer and actually play...when you can stay here and ride the bench just so you wont be called "Quitter". Kids, Riley, who ta hell ever !!!! I've been there......go where you can play...for as long as you can play !!! You haven't let ANYBODY down. And if you did...they'll have to just get over it and move on to another kid to berate.

I would love to see this play out in Norman, OK. That is a town that has great traffic cooperation getting people to the stadium but absolutley NONE getting them away from the stadium. Thru the years I have t/w several folks who actually live in Norman and I have asked them about the gameday traffic issues. Everyone of them have responded that although a bad prob after the game......all the positives greatly outweigh that one negative. The town/fans/business community are in love with the events,school,team,etc. I'd go out on a limb here and say if this "Denia" attitude were to take hold in Norman......there would be a massive red march to the complaining neighborhood and probably down to the local paper too and set things RIGHT !!! Denia residents, you need to take your noses out of the air and get your finger out of your butts !!!

I remember the "typewriter" routine. I was at that game (1973) with my fiance/wife. We still talk about that to this day.

I'd love for UNT to become the kind of school that could HAVE an "attitude" if it wanted. I do not like attitude..(i.e. SMU). But I'd give anything if we could consistently improve and be steady force on all levels...so that when a Denton kid thought he was too "up and coming" for UNT....then go ahead and leave, play somewhere else if he can. And then later come to regret it cause he learns he actually missed out. I want car loads to drive by the stadium on game day and wish they were there with us. Kids leave Denton because they "envy" others on other campuses. I want them all "Green With Envy".....

I may be wrong but 2 of the injuries were just friekish. Tune smashed in the pocket,was possibly as much of a coverage sack as a DL jailbreak sack, Thompson was escaping the pocket and on the run (I believe), Dodge also on a running play. Except for Tune, I personally cant attribute the other injuries to sloppy line play. BUT even if I could attribute these injuries to lazy/ inept line play.....although critical injuries, it was very few compared to apprx 1000+ plays. But I'm willing to stand corrected ! To have a losing season and still have a back run for 1550 yds is remarkable.

WOW !!! So what did this "Einstein" have to say about the June Jones hire @ SMU ??????

With all the injuries, I cant keep up with who is so critical in our def secondary (that is missing.) But we have not had anyone is 2-3 yrs that can handle real speed @ receivers anyway...and when they do keep up, they set a new low for tackling. Hell man !! We used to knock jawbones loose and cause recvrs to stain their pants !! This last year or two, our d-backs have been slow to know where tha damn ball is. It's already caught and advanced before we seem to know the QB ever let go of it yet !!!!! This has been a trend, regardless of who the players are, so I've got to believe there's more than one coaching deficiency (defensive). I feel really bad for those players..BUT. It's pass after pass...on and on and on. Where have you gone Jonas Buckles and Don Magee ??? I'm ready for my new seat in my new stadium with my new coach (whomever)my new season and an entirely new DEFENSE. At least by strategy !!

Why are so many on this forum willing to give Canales a chance ONLY if he wins out, beats K-State, etc. So if he doesnt win out, (probably wont), my question would be: which of your USDA Prime Hero All-World dream coaches could keep our buick rolling with as many back ups as Canales has done? Maybe all of them...maybe none. I see alot of homework done by alot of knowledgeable fans on this forum. Seems to me that the info would be out there on any other coaches that have gone thru this (loss of players) and turned it around to YOUR liking. I would want to know if ANY big name coaches have ever lost +50% of their starters and kept it all afloat. If this is not the standard for all candidates, why does it seem to be the ONLY standard for Chico. Canales has basically taken our broken down Buick and gotten it back on the road and at least gotten it rolling in "drive" instead of "reverse", puking all the fluids out, smoke billowing out, fenders missing,etc. I am not a Canales ONLY guy. I doubt Chico will get the final nod under the very best of circumstances anyway. The yardstick should be the same for all considered. I AM waiting on the the perfect clone of Fry/Fran/Levett/Stallings/et al to get hired so we can finally get all the man-love drool mopped up before the next opener !! End of the season or not, we are on bald tires people....and going uphill with no gas !!!! Freddie Kitchens...where are you ???

Football Weenie ??? I cant claim it as mine...wish I could....funniest phrase EVER posted ! That being said, maybe we shouldnt audition the guy with the biggest name. We need to find the guy with the biggest FOOTBALL WEENIE !! And if we can't get HIM....then lets get the guy that has one that will last 4 quarters !!!!

First off, I'm not trying to be a smartass here, just trying to put another perspective on this. Although, I do dive in knowing some will take every opportunity thay can to pervert my meaning to justify cheap shots. I wonder how long all the "I told you so" will carry on. You guys need to hold back on some of this !!! Two things come immediately to mind. (A). Is it not possible that the way the kids played today, may be an indication that they (as the actual performers) were almost out of games left in their careers,season,etc...and that they may be personnally somewhat responsible for the demise of a coach ? With those realizations, reached down deep to use what they already had ?? Seems a little premature to insinuate this win is entirely due to the coaching change.( Hey ! we didnt play a good team today.....we played "us". Another weak team. If we win out (and I would love for that to happen !!) Then these wins with the same players would lend credence to the Dodge haters. But if we lose out with the same kids....who will this forum blame then ??? Just asking....
