Game Summary

As a lifelong Tech fan and supporter, this was easily one of the most deflating losses that I have witnessed at Joe Aillet Stadium. After the student section was deserted and most of the fans had gone home after North Texas took a 37-20 lead with 10 minutes to play. Without starting quarterback Hank Bachmeier, Jack Turner filled in for the injured senior and had the green light to launch the ball deep. A 43-yard strike to Cyrus Allen, multiple defensive pass interferences, a Barnes field goal, and an electric Smoke Harris touchdown even the score at 37 with a minute to play. Needing a stop to force overtime, the defense allowed a 3rd and 4 conversion on a 7-yard completion to Burns, and more detrimentally allowed a brutal 21-yard Adeyi rush on 3rd and 7 from the Bulldogs’ 35-yard line. After the long run, the Mean Green knocked down a 31-yard field goal to silence the remaining crowd and give Louisiana Tech their second loss of the season.

      Temple game to be on ESPNU 10/14 @ 11 a.m.

      This is really cool considering that we're located in a significant zone and it will be happening during the game. To your question, I don't recall any major sports activity experiencing a > 80% eclipse. I'm sure it's happened, but probably pretty rare. Here's an animation of the affects/times for the entire Earth. https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2023/

      Tyler Perry called best shooter in America

      The practice facility wasn't an issue getting Perry to NT. Obviously it attracted you to NT also...

      North Texas vs Navy (10/06/2023) Score Predictions

      The odds line has went from Navy -5 to -6 points for our game. Navy hosted USF last weekend. Navy controlled the clock 31 min to 29 min (expected with a running offense). Navy rushed 48 times for 254 yds. USF 44 times for only 135 yards. However, Navy only passed 11 times for 90 yards, compared to USF passing 34 times for 338 yards. In summary Navy had 59 plays to USF's 78 plays. USF won 44-30. Navy will get their yards rushing, but we have to get a lot more passing!

      Breaking: SOC DB Kerry Williams commits to North Texas

      Last 2 games against inferior schools (Dallas Adamson & Dallas Spruce), Kerry had a 75 yard pick 6 (Adamson) and a 77 yard pick 6 against Spruce. Their overall secondary got off to a shaky start of the season but is improving.

      Game Day Experience (Week 4)

      I had a great time as I usually do. Some great observations made in this thread. I drive right at 2 hours to the games, so I got a head start on the drive home and didn’t stay for the drone show. I wanted to, but I knew I could be about halfway home by the time it ended. Glad to hear it was worth staying for though. Next time I might choose to stay. Minor complaint: Why can’t the NE scoreboard show more scores? It kept showing the same 9 scores over and over. I’ve noticed in the past they don’t show a lot of scores, but never realized it was so few. I don’t want scores constantly running, but maybe during a timeout run through 20-30 different games.
