Great timing for our game with Navy with the game being scheduled on the weekend of Veteran's Day (Sunday -November 11th). Hopefully we can make the game and game day a real event !

Oh man, could the Green Brigade put on a wonderful, patriotic show for a capacity crowd! I predict this will be a game day atmosphere to remember. Time to serve up some tailgating food to our men and women in uniform who will be at the game. What better way to show our appreciation for what they do.

I spent 4 of the best years of my life in the Navy (69-73) and the Middies are my "other" team, too -- but for this game, it's UNT all the way. Sort of "I hope Navy plays a great game but doesn't win"! Regardless, I'm proud that UNT is hosting USNA. If you haven't seen a Navy game on the road, it's quite an experience, even with the smaller number of Midshipmen attending. Makes you stand a little straighter and actually sing the words to the National Anthem.

Well, let me jump in here with the rest of the swabbies. Served during the 'Forgotten War" (Korea) 1951-1954. USS Montrose (APA-212) and MCB-11. Navy is my second team and I can't wait for November 10. Go Navy everytime but that date.

I ain't gonna say it was "forgotten" Have a great uncle that was a Leatherneck during Korea. He gave me one of his "Swaggersitcks" I've heard a couple of his stories.

      I'm not sure they are going to offer us a choice.

      UNT students join growing number of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at US colleges

      So true, Americans LOVE football and there are no football fans in that crowd. It reflects horrifically on UNT but a percentage of these haters are surely from the TWU community.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      It’s absolutely ridiculous that some college athletes make more than professional athletes. Makes me think of the old Sports Illustrated bit: Signs of the Apocalypse. I stated this in another thread, but I strongly believe that the players are not the engine that drives the machine, it’s the universities. Ive got a theory that I believe to be true and hopefully I am able to explain it in a way that makes sense. Let’s say that next year, all the talent dropped a level. So Alabama, etc. had the talent usually associated with UNT. UNT had the talent usually associated with SFA. SFA had the talent usually associated with aTm Commerce, etc., etc. Most fans won’t care and most won’t notice the drop off in talent. All most fans care about is their team winning. If we had the talent level of SFA, but we won the American, no one would care that we’re not as talented. I’ll even go a step further and say that must fans would think we were better. Bottom line is that the universities are the ones making the money, not the players. No one is forcing them to play. If they don’t want to play for FREE tuition, don’t play. There’s a line of people wanting to take their place. I was working 25-30 hours a week in a warehouse while going to college, so forgive me if I don’t have sympathy for people who have the opportunity to do something that I wasn’t quite talented enough to do. **That being said, I don’t have a problem with legitimate NIL**

      So hard to watch this team crumble when everything's on the line. It's happened all season. No excuse for losing this game. Sure the bats were cold, but this is completely on our pitching staff. DeLong has to find us better pitchers with more mental toughness for next season. I can't believe a team this senior heavy that has done what they've done, can't play better than what we are watching. I'll go ahead and say it now. this team (especially the pitching staff) isn't mentally tough enough to win the conference tournament.
