  1. . . . That we knock them backwards. Literally. They will insist their team name is now: Seglae Nedlog Ippississim Nrehtuos Eht
  2. It's listed on the DirecTV guide as 608, 623 and 626. But it also lists "There is no programming available at this time" for 6:00 PM on all three tomorrow.
  3. I have DirecTV. It listed it and even recorded it (although I had to do it "manually" for that game because the guide listed nothing at that time.) However, when I went to watch it . . . nothing but black and silence. So no, I don't think they have it. They may have it on one of the more extravagant packages, but my lineup definitely doesn't. That won't stop me from looking to find it again tomorrow, though!
  4. I love me some Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. Man, I miss Phil Hartman!!!
  5. Meh, their opponents' records are a combined 23-18. Now remember, that record INCLUDES beating Southern Miss six times so you can actually take those six wins out. This means opponents are 17-18 against everyone else. If Southern Miss had won all six of those games, then suddenly their opponents' combined W-L would be 17-24. I guess what I'm trying to say is, bad teams will always have what everyone defines as a "tough schedule" because they actually contribute to their opponents' win totals when they lose. On the flip side, good teams will usually have what many define as "easy schedules" because they contribute to their opponents' loss totals. The only guaranteed way to actually improve your strength of schedule is to, in fact, LOSE a game. I only see SOS working when you're comparing teams with identical records. But then again, I'm not a fancy scientist with all these convoluted formulas to figure these things out. I'm just a guy with a video camera, a few microphones and an assortment of audio/video cables.
  6. I heard he's forming an army consisting of Mike Ditka, Dolf Lundgren, the ghost of General Patton, Dr. Stephen Hawking and Mike Modano to wage an all-out war against the snow monkeys.
  7. Tongans, yes. Samoans, not so much. I grew up in Euless, so I have a bit of an understanding about this. Back in the day, D/FW airport and I believe San Francisco were the only airports that had direct flights from Tonga. D/FW was less expensive at the time, so most of them chose to fly that route. Euless was the closest city within walking distance, so that was the destination of choice upon landing. So naturally, Euless became a popular migration place among the Tongan nation. The Tongan community on the island of Tonga is mostly LDS and they are very loyal to that heritage. Because of this, BYU and Utah grab a fair amount of them quite easily.
  8. Kid 1: "Knock knock" Kid 2: "Who's there?" Kid 1: "Queen" Kid 2: "Queen who?" Kid 1: "Queen my dishes, please." Kid 3: "It's CLEAN!!!" AT&T guy: "He doesn't get it."
  9. The eagle on the side of the left one is a bad Photoshop job. It's angled wrong. That and the "suck it" give it away to me.
  10. Really, really great post! Zach tore it up today and provided the spark that this team needed. Well, both he and Chance did! But this is Zac's thread so all props to him!!
  11. So yeah, sounds like an intramural player or an athlete of another sport, perhaps?
  12. The Denton County Scanner on Facebook is reporting a player sustained a "traumatic injury" on the UNT practice field about 30 minutes ago. Anyone have any details?
  13. That's a shame . . . IT flagged that site for some reason. Oh well. I like the 95% though. We still have to execute. *Which I think we will, but we're still only halfway there*
  14. You're not kidding. I ordered a barbecue sandwich at the Ball St. game that I expected to be "fresh." They threw the dang thing in the microwave! Yeah, I'm still burping that thing up.
  15. I hate this idea just because I'm a student but have been legally able to drink almost as long as some of my fellow students have been alive.
  16. I did. But now someone needs to give him a +1 on my behalf for the +1 I would have given him on my own . . .
  17. I'm cautiously optimistic. Something like: Green: 35 Blue: 28
  18. I feel like you're on the attack here. Perhaps we've gotten off on the wrong foot. Look, I like you a lot. I'll just say I'm a big reason you've accumulated rep a lot more quickly than I have; because I've contributed mightily to yours. You do good work around here. You're a fellow optimist. I guess that's why I'm a little surprised you're taking aim at the students. The students have been sticking around (at least we did against Ball St., save a handful that just wanted to go back and "crush some beers" on the hill). We've just been moving over to the shade once we see the seats in the shade are empty. Unless our alumnus are the "show up after halftime" type, which I don't believe most of them are) the stands on the press box side were VERY bare. My point is -- a LOT of students showed up for the Ball St. game and a LOT of students stuck around through what was a rough 1/3 of the game to see a very rewarding final 2/3 of it. Our attendance problems are not all on the students. Now I'll say this -- an uprising in school spirit can certainly START with the students. A healthy student section can do a lot to get everyone fired up. But the students can only do so much. It's not like they allocate a majority of the stadium to us. We get 16 of the 48 sections, (1/3 for you math majors out there). But let's quit pointing fingers at everyone here and just start getting everyone we can to come out. How's that sound, m'kay?
  19. I can assure you -- "Free student tickets" signs have been all over campus all week before each and every home game this season. I know, I'm a student and I've seen them with my own eyes. And, (granted, I asked about this when I was applying for admission so maybe I'm unlike my fellow students) I knew before I even enrolled that students get free tickets to ALL UNT sporting events. And as a second side-note -- the students made a great showing at the Ball St. game. I still don't know why they keep getting the bad rap.
  20. DVR already set!! Those with DirecTV may have to set up the series recording again. When they updated the info, it made my old series obsolete.
  21. Well, I know for me, DirecTV seemed to have corrected their info that this is a golf program. In doing so, I had to re-setup my series recording. Fortunately, for those of us that missed the latest one, there is a re-airing today at 2:00 on FSSW!!
  22. Congratulations, sir! I'm very happy for you!
