Not sure if everyone else noticed....but with about a minute to play on the last offensive play of the game....who ever decided to play "Brown Eyed Girl" to get the crowd pumped up on 4th and 21 should be fired....

We know you have Thunderstruck or Welcome to the Jungle or some other song to get us all going....but no, this person plays Brown Eyed Girl....GEEEZZZ....Why dont you break out "Why Cant We Be Friends" next time.....

I dunno...

When they played Bohemian Rhapsody on an important 3rd down (and all during the timeout), the team responded well to a song about "wishing I've never been born at all..."

As much as we criticize them for making too much noise when we are on offense, Texas had the same problems with coordination Thursday night and it didn't phase them. I think people are just getting dumber across the board.

Sat on the student side for this game, and I thought the band was fantastic. I may be favoring them because I think the band director is hilarious (usually puts on a better show than what's on the field) and I was within hearing distance of his loudspeakers.

The band was great and Scrappy was great again, too. There were a few guys in the stands who were trying to lead a "Mean Green" chant while Brock Stickler was laid out, but it was because they were unaware of the injury.

I think I actually said the same thing. "Now THAT'S going to get the crowd pumped up." I've also got a problem with "Hey Baby." A great song, but one that shouldn't be played unless and until the game is firmly in hand. We shouldn't have heard it at all this year.

I have never stayed for an entire college or high school game where "Hey, Baby" was not played. My wife asked me what "Hey Baby" has to do with football, and I didn't really have a clue. Could anyone provide some insight as to how this became such a universal part of the band repertoire at football games?

Never mind; this reveals my recent conversion to UNT football fandom from being mostly a UNT basketball fan as an undergraduate. The first link shows the Fort Worth connection (something which a lot of quality music has). The second gives it's more recent cover, and how it became used in the World Cup, as well as American Style football.

About the original "Hey Baby"

About the "Hey Baby" Cover, and it becoming a football anthem.

      Kansas to the SEC?

      I agree. Stanford, Kansas, and Notre Dame could all wind up in the Big 10, while Virginia and North Carolina should get to choose between Big 10 and SEC membership. For what it's worth, (sorry Buffalo), Missouri could also leave the SEC for the Big 10.

      LINK: https://www.nilcollegeathletelitigation.com/media/4660999/clge_not_240306.pdf https://www.nilcollegeathletelitigation.com/?utm_source=gdn&utm_medium=natl&utm_campaign=clge UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA If you were denied NIL compensation opportunities any time between 2016-2023, your rights may be affected by a class action lawsuit. A federal court authorized this notice. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer. A class action lawsuit has been filed against the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Pac-12 Conference, Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Southeastern Conference, and Atlantic Coast Conference, including Notre Dame. (“Power Five Conferences”). The lawsuit claims certain NCAA rules that prevented student-athletes from receiving compensation for the commercial use of their names, images, and likenesses (NIL) and prohibited NCAA conferences and schools from sharing any NIL revenue they receive with student-athletes were anticompetitive. You may be included in the lawsuit if you are a current or former college athlete who received a full Grant-in-Aid (GIA) scholarship and compete on, or competed on, a Division I men’s or women’s basketball team or an FBS football team, at a college or university that is a member of one of the Power Five Conferences (including Notre Dame), any time between June 15, 2016 and November 3, 2023 OR who competed on a Division I athletic team prior to July 1, 2021 and received compensation while a Division I college athlete for the use of your NIL between July 1, 2021 and November 3, 2023. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS DO NOTHING If you do nothing you are choosing to stay in the lawsuit. You will be eligible to share in any money that may be obtained through continued litigation or settlement. You will be bound by past and any future court rulings on, or settlement of, the claims against Defendants, and you will not be able to pursue your own claims against them. EXCLUDE YOURSELF If you exclude yourself from the lawsuit (i.e. opt out), you will not be able to share in any money that may be obtained in this case through continued litigation or settlement. You will not be bound by any past or future rulings against Defendants. You may pursue your own claims against Defendants. These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the notice. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or not. Please read the entire notice carefully by clicking HERE.

      maybe. but I just don't care about what the definition of NIL is...just happy the talent is finally getting something for their hard work.

      Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?

      First CFB game would have been Baylor against some nonconference cupcake in the early 2010s. First UNT game I went to, I got to witness this atrocity in Austin:
