Not sure what that means? I just speak the truth. Don't think you need to defend Cougar King. Not sure why he is on here, but he does ok on his own.

Be careful gloating. It is a long season. If memory serves UCONN served up the Cougars some humble pie. UCONN isn't a football powerhouse either. Don't be a dick. That advice is free.

Never happen. Petrino went back to Louisville. Louisville and Arkansas State aren't in the same universe. LSU could and should hire Briles. No one expects SEC players to obey the law or go to school... "After only playing 5 years of football I got a college degree"...Forest Gump

Tom Herman has said he wants to stay in Houston. But they all say that...

We had more fans. We had more heart. We wanted to win more. I haven't felt that good since the Heart of Dallas Bowl. I am not making this more than it was, but in Houston after the game many people commented, albeit I was in my green north texas shirt, that it was a big win. I am not comparing us to Rice, but a school of 2000 students had a military appreciation game to include numerous kids taking the oath of enlistment and had a Blackhawk helicopter on display w/ the pilots to answer questions and let kids climb all over it. We can do more and should. However, great win. I haven't been this happy in awhile. Love these men who suit up for us. They have gravel in their guts and spit in their eye! GMG

That is a solid idea. Now if I could just get my kids to teach me how to do social media.... I am old shcool. No twitter, no facebook, no snap chat or instagram. This board is my only foray into any type of social media. I don't judge those who do but it isn't my cup of tea.

It is heads up ball for SMU to honor first responders. The city suffered a tremendous loss when those brave officers were killed protecting the citizen's they swore to defend. Additionally this game isn't against a FCS opponent. It is TCU, and it is at a nice stadium where the officers, fire fighters, and medics can hopefully have a nice time with their families. I attended the memorial service for DART Officer Brent Thompson. It was a powerful send-off for a true hero. I don't know if a football game is enough to honor the men and women who lay their lives on the line for the communities they serve but it isn't a bad start. Especially since most who do that job don't want any recognition, they just want to serve. I know those who are making fun of SMU needing to give out free tickets are in no way doing it at the expense of law enforcement, fire, or paramedics. I love to poke fun at the ponies, but I think this time they got it right. I would like our school to reach out and do something similar. Extend it to teachers, city workers. Concessions don't get purchased by empty seats, plus it fosters a sense of community. Just my 2 cents...

If you travel from Houston to the DFW area it is one of the few places where my wife and daughters will go to the bathroom. Buc's is awesome. However having no UNT gear should be rectified. Not liking Buc's is un-Texan!

UNT 35 Rice 31 Rice has beaten UNT everytime I have attended. If it happens again this time I will not attend the next UNT away game at Rice to see if I am the issue! See you all there! It is roughtly 5000 degrees in Houston currently. Lets hope for a cold spell. That concrete behemoth has very little shade! GMG

Can't blame it on Fouts turf toe either. It is unfortunate when a player gets hurt. In both cases it wasn't the intent. Sadly the UF coach has no class and has chosen to perpetuate a lie. If many of you recall that a few Vols fans came on the board to invite any of us who were making the trip to Knoxville to stop by for a beer and football conversation. Additionally the same fan discouraged any of us from making the trip to the Swamp. He stated that the Florida fans were animals to opposing teams. Guess that now extends to the Coach as well. It is a sad day when a nationally recognized program can't behave. Some people say Oklahoma is the worlds largest trailer park. I think those people have never been to Florida!!!

Moxie.

Still snapped the ball to someone who wasn't there, reasons aside. That play is unfortunately one of the more lasting legacies of UNT football vs a P5 opponent. At least from a sound bite/video clip perspective. You build a 1000 bridges, but snap one ball to a guy who wasn't there, they don't call you a bridge builder. Sorry man, you deserve to be under the bus. Of course it was a mistake and not indicative of your skills as a player, I don't think that was anyone's intent, especially #59. It was just a famous mistake. For me I am sad because I like to pin it on UNTexas. Welcome to the board. It is great to have former player's perspectives. GMG

Defense made us proud. Tons of fight. Hit wasn't dirty. Lots of HOMER calls, but that is to be expected with the SEC. They are untouchable. Just ask them... I think we learned a lot about this team in this game. They have heart. Sure the offense has a bit to learn, but we didn't give those guys an inch. From there alone you can build a program. GMG

ASU escaped. UTSA had a solid game plan and a QB who is illusive. In the end I kinda wished they would pull it out just to put it into the face of a P5 opponent who gave them not respect and expected to win. However.... I don't worry about Rice and UTSA. We usually commit so many turnovers/penalties that coupled with our lack of execution we cannot beat anyone. UNT football is UNT football's worst enemy. If we play within ourselves and limit the self inflicted wounds I didn't see anything out there in either game that would lead me to believe that we don't have a shot. See you in the stands in Houston!!!!!!

It is early, but they aren't playing scared. ASU looks like they were expecting an opponent w/o any fight. I want to wish UTSA luck but I just can't...

How many years? 40?

With the stadium being newish how can the locker rooms be so unimpressive? I get the Alabama argument, however step one: be Alabama. We aren't. MGNation hit the nail on the head. We need to impress with what we can control. We can't control the shabby play, but we can have a nice locker room!

I would like to see us play SWTS (I still can't seem to bring myself to call them Texas State). It could be a fun home and away series that could perhaps build into something more. Most rivals are in conference, but Pitt and WVA have a good thing going and they aren't in the same conference.

The marching of the band with the cheerleaders is actually pretty cool. At times I am amazed it is UNT!

Are the beer vendors separate lines from the food? The lines were terrible at SMU. Missed much of the game, however with that game it may have been a blessing!

I believe UTSA did something similar to this their first season to build a fanbase.

I think they got something going there! GMG

GMG!!!!! It is early, but the soccer team seems poised to be a solid again. Best of luck ladies. Thanks for the update. Have to search to get info on the team if you are not in the DFW area.

I concur +1

That is solid advice. We have used almost every hue of green over the years. We got it covered!!!!
