Many of the players have mentioned as one of their main motivating factors in their win against Ball State the fact that no one expected them to have a chance. Now that everyone is giving them love, do they lose a little bit of edge? Can they still play with a chip on their shoulder?

I don't think a team that was 1-11 last year is going to be over confident based on a single win.

I wasn't really talking about over/underconfidence, just about losing what the players called a significant motivating factor.

Thanks for digging these up Steve!

Is the bleacherreport site a local site? I don't follow them and the article seemed a little biased towards NT but what do I know. LOL

I didn't look in to it until now but bleecherreports is a national page but anyone can post articles. This one was writen by Ryan Metcalf who appears to have a little bias but who cares still a good write up.

Ryan's bio

I'm just a big sports fan who is going to graduate in a couple years from North Texas. I plan on getting into the sports broadcasting industry in one or another. I am a sports anchor and broadcaster at kntu 88.1 in the Dallas Ft. Worth region.(It is the University of North Texas student radio station). I am currently broadcasting sports news at 5:40p during the week and help out during high school broadcasts as well.

There is a good reply from a guy named Tobi ho claims to support lower level Texas teams like us but doesn't seem to be rinking the kool aid. He's also got an article about the Ohio game.
