1.) Phillips was good. I like his composure and his arm.

2.) Why did they decide not to go for it with 3sec on the clock in the 1st half?

3.) The CSC are JERKS. I'm sitting with my butt on the concrete foundation of the stands with my legs sticking out, but with my upper body behind the rails. For some reason I'm not allowed to sit that way. WTF.

4.) I don't like the ULM Band. They sound awful, play loud to mask it, play the same songs as us just after or while we do just to be jerks, they play that FSU song (I dare them to play FSU at home and play that song), they have one really, really obese cheerleader, they only know like, 2 songs, which they played as the plays progressed. They were classless last time they were at Fouts and they were just bad this time around.

5.) THE FANS- I love that they were there! 19K is great for us, no matter what. I'm sorry that they showed up and had to watch that loss. Thanks to those of you who showed up at the parade and tailgating- it's just nice knowing the fans are willing to be there.

6.) The fireworks need to stop next year. Even if we won every game at home, the "cool factor" of the fireworks would be lost after the 3rd home game. I can't say how much I dislike them after EVERY loss at home.

I really liked what I saw in Phillips. Not that hes the greatest thing since sliced bread but the fact that he was put in after Meager makes him seem like it. Phillips seems to actually throw it in the vacinity of the receiver while meager usually closes his eyes and throws it down the field.

Well, now I was actually coming here to compliment the Green Brigade for giving us a warm reception, even if their fans were rude.

Now sound quality issues aside (which are hardly quantative), we only played one song that I heard you guys (I am assuming you're a band member, since you used 'us') play as well, and that was the chromatic cheer which is in *everyone's* cheer book. The only time we ever repeated songs were for short timeouts when we couldn't play a whole song. Anything else is a cheer. Same as you, I'm sure. Finally, the "FSU" song has been around a lot longer than FSU.

But, "classless"? I'd like to know what that comes from. Last time we were out there the fans pelted us with tortillas, and this time they chanted the extremely classy and well-thought out cheer of "Louisiana Sucks", though sometimes they threw in a "Monroe Sucks" or "F(*&ing Band Geeks" to mix it up a bit.

All that aside, they Brigade members I met were quite nice, and I wanted to thank them for their hospitality. Also thanks to the UNT officials that helped us out.

Sorry for the slightly off-topic post.

[edit] I forgot, we also mirrorred you guys with Dr. Who, which we despise, but our football coach always requests [/edit]

I appreciate and applaude the many, many ULM fans, and also for your univeristy for alllowing the ULM band to attend as well. Your presence helped make the game more like what it should be, a major college football event.

Thanks for coming and I hope ULM continues to bring their band back every year the Indians visit Denton. It is efforts like that from our brother schools that will help everyone continue to build the Belt to what we want it to be.

Thanks. I've mostly enjoyed the three trips to Fouts. Last year's tortilla thing was pretty uncalled for, I felt, but that's students for ya. ;-) It's good to see that you still have a fan base despite the team's record this year. We're one game away from a championship, and people in our town don't even know football has started.

As far as bringing the band, it's horribly expensive to do. Us small schools can't really afford it too often. IIRC, it was some $25,000 to send the band to this one game, and we didn't even stay the night.

I hope to see a big green visitor's section with band this time next year at Malone Stadium.

Beat ASU next weekend!

I'm not sure what you are talking about. You must be bitter that ULM's band played louder and more often than our band...it was actually quite embarassing.

Different ears, I guess. I thought ULM band was not in the same league as NT. I did enjoy their band and commend them for comming, but as far as the quality, there was no comparison. They like UNT played a very limited selection but not nearly as well.

I want to chime in to agree that it's fun for some of us who actually ENJOY seeing the bands at halftime. There are those who appreciate the "competition" between the bands, and it really does add a lot to the atmosphere. Thanks for coming!

Yeah I feel the same. Quantity maybe, but definately not quality. No offense to the ULM band though, they weren't bad at all. However sitting on the student side for the 5th straight season, I had no idea how good our band really was until they finally played towards us in the ULL game. Being a high school band nerd from a 3A high school, I can tell you we only dreamed of having that kind of sound.

      Morris signals it is over

      You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.
