MCMLXXX...Marlin said, "Jerry, (one of the Refs) You guys are worse than we are." Marlin drew the "T" for the comment, "It's always a free throw contest in Denton."

The Cheerleaders were there tonight. Dancers too. But the band was AWOL. We listened to recorded music all night. Seems if the cheerleaders and Dancers could make it the band could stop by as well. It's just not the same without the band. Good win.

I agree with everything Emmitt said. When conference re-alignment comes along again, basketball as well as football attendance figures will be looked at. And by the way, MEANGREENSPORTS.COM says the LA LA tip is 4:00. I'd hate for our fans to be late for our second conference win.

What's the definition of a gelding ? A Mustang without any footballs ?

I went with the groundbreaking, though I think Silver is right. The new stadium will have the unique situation to extend beyond all the other choices. Coaches come and go. Season records can always be broken. I assume we will continue to get top players. The new stadium will one day celebrate it's 50th and 60th anniversery. GO MEAN GREEN

I was rooting for Army since they beat us back in September. As far as smc, I just don't care.

Did ya hear that on the Armed Forces Bowl...."And how about the Sun Belt." Go Mean Green Build the Belt

I'm sorry 96. I was trying to show irony. Ya see, if an umbrella is dangerous at a football game, it could also be dangerous at a basketball game I reasoned. And I understand that rain is less a problem indoors than out, but the "weapon" thing remains. Again, sorry. PS We haven't had any airplanes crashed into buildings since the TSA came on line.

And speaking of Thursday's game, did I hear the tip was at 5:00 ?

It's getting harder and harder to support the position that the Sun Belt is the weakest conference. When other conference teams play the Belt, and lose, who is in fact the weaker conference ?

For most of my life, I have been able to take an umbrella into a stadium in rainy weather. I had to look over the umbrella in front of me and people behind me had to look over mine. After 9-11 that changed. No more umbrellas and my wife's purse is searched, maybe, prior to getting into the game. Last night, it was raining cats and dogs when I got to the Coliseum. I had my umbrella with me expecting to be told I couldn't take it inside with me. Not only did no one say a word about the umbrella, but there was a dispenser full of plastic umbrella bags for me to pit my wet umbrella in. They were anticipating lots of people bringing umbrellas. Since the ban on umbrellas at Fouts, I have been told I couldn't take the umbrella in because it could be used as a weapon. OK. I'm fine with that. But if that's the case, couldn't my umbrella be used as a weapon at the Coliseum as well ? GO MEAN GREEN PS---Don't come to the basketball games because a "name-brand " team is playing. Come because the Mean Green is playing. GMG

Can't do it now. "You guys are just copying Hawaii."

HONOR SYSTEM IN PLAY HERE Without looking, tell me where Oklahoma Panhandle State University is. Be specific. Extra points for what Oklahoma county OPSU is in.

beg pardon... "...nine state instituttions and a federal one." A FEDERAL one ? Please explain.

I agree with Adler. Schedule teams at their place that will schedule us at our new stadium. We're not going to have that old, "nobody wants to play at Fouts" as an excuse anymore. GO MEAN GREEN

Steve and Leslie Shwartz....You got a card. That is to say, I got your card. If you get my Publisher's Clearinghouse check, please foward. GO MEAN GREEN

If they can't even go bowling this year, who needs them. We need to play teams like Houston and Tulsa that have a traveling fan base and teams that have a future. GO MEAN GREEN

"couldn't case less..."

all my life, I've heard of how North Texas is a commuter school. how about some of you commuters, commute yourself back to the Coliseum Tuesday and lend some support for a 10-2 North Texas team. Merry Christmas GO MEAN GREEN

Don't forget to send your gift this year to the Human Fund.

I hadn't thought about it until reading here on GMG. I've concluded the LSU win is the most significant in program history. Thanks Mean Green. Thanks Johnny.

We are the University of North Texas, UNT, or just NT. Our nickname is Mean Green, a name originally given to our stingy defense back in the 60s. Our mascot is an Eagle. Older supporters will urge our team on by saying, "Go Eagles." But most shout, "Go Mean Green," or "Go Green." Our University changed it's name 22 (?) years ago. People that still call us NTSU simply don't keep up with college sports very well. We look foward to your support when we play Alabama and Troy when we come to your part of the country. When your travels take you into the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, I hope you'll come 25 or 30 miles north to Denton and look at our beautiful campus of 35,000 and walk through our new stadium. As of right now, it is unnamed. We're all really proud and excited to open our 2011 home season in our new place with a win over the U of Houston. Welcome and GO MEAN GREEN

Yeah...They're saying "NTU" is good but not as good as LSU made them (us) look. Blaming the coach, but they got beat by a good team. L S who ?

There will be some that claim LSU over looked North Texas, or somebody was sick or tired, or ya ya ya. But the Mean Green drilled a top tier SEC team tonight. Won and LSU couldn't stay in the gym with North Texas. Come home safe and Merry christmas.

Why are we playing Texas Southern ?
