For years our fans will cheer while our own offense is lining up and trying to call plays?

Where does that come from? 

And they can be rather quiet at times when the defense is on the field, though at times the sound is fantastic. So important for home-fields. 

I was happy about the fans forcing what I think was a timeout do to noise tonight in the first half by SMU. If so I have never seen it before where a home team was in that position.

Well they want to cheer, and our team doesn't give them much to cheer about in general, so maybe they are just trying to cheer then as opposed to when things go wrong which is more and more.

I'd like to be able to blame our fans, and in this case, it would be legitimate.  It's just that the fans at least showed up; the coaches never quite made it.

I think the funniest moment was when we were trying to convert 4th and short (or 3rd and short?) and the cheerleaders got in a pyramid holding up "GET LOUD!" signs. 

This really needs to be addressed

Wouldn't it be helpful (and fairly easy) to have one of our GAs go sit down with the Cheer squad and help them to understand these very simple concepts?

I thought it was hilarious that there were tons of fans around the lower part of section 122 yelling at them to put the signs down and shut up, but I guess they thought they were doing a great job because the chicks were just smiling from ear to ear holding up their "make some noise!" signs.

You make crowd noise to hurt the team on offense, hopefully forcing them to go to a silent count.  If the team on offense is your team, then you shouldn't try to hurt them.

I'm well aware of the ramifications of crowd noise on the offense and I could care less. I've been to UNT games where you could hear crickets in the stadium because no one went to the games. If UNT fans, who obviously aren't going to have a lot to cheer for this season, want to scream all day then I say let them. As a player you'd rather have cheering fans than dull fans.

      Fauci Under Fire

      Evidence suggests that the initial outbreak was detected at the Wuhan Research Lab on October 6, 2019 and that the Chinese government immediately closed the facility, quarantined all employees, and "disappeared" those that were infected. The facility was then entirely disinfected and all records of the outbreak were systematically destroyed. All employee cell phone activity at the facility suddenly ceased from October 7 through the 24th. This has been confirmed by both US and British Intelligence agencies. The facility then reopened on October 25 under the guise that nothing had ever happened. By the first week of November it was apparent that the outbreak had somehow already spread into the civilian population and the PRC immediately tried to purchase every N95 respirator on the global market. Then it was just a matter of time for the NIH to play ignorant until the outbreak reached our shores. I'm confident that it will be proven that Fauci and his staff were aware of every single development, and helped orchestrate the coverup. They wrongfully endangered millions of people just to cover their asses.

      Jeff Wilson may be back on the market

      Cut Deuce Vaughn and sign Wilson is the move. Zeke still has a role as a goal line back and pass blocker. Vaughn just looks lost.

      Jared Mosely upset and rightfully so

      What is your guess on how many games are actually shown on TV from Weds - Sat during the season? I watch games from the Ivy League, MWC, Sunbelt, AAC, C-USA, as well as from the big boys. There is a reason that these games are shown. People watch them. Initially, maybe there is a pause…but I will get tired of watching the same 30 teams…I want to see games across all spectrum.
