Sure they have gotten better but I'm sorry guys.... GT is not a Bama, LSU, Georgia or KSU. This is exactly the type of team we need to schedule. GT barely beat the horrible Miami team we saw earlier in the year.

True, but they're historically not push-overs. They've had the 3rd-highest rushing going into this game (yes I realize triple-option will give you those stats).

I spent the first 16 years of my life in Atlanta, and no one would ever ever say that GT is a down and out sort of team. Hiccuping occasionally, but not down and out.

All that being said, MTSU is playing really, really well.

This is crazy regardless of how good GT is in relation to the top dogs. MTSU is awful, they showed that week 1 and their 2 wins over the literal worst 2 FBS teams cannot be looked at as if they've rebounded, this is essentially the same team that went 2-10 and that lost 59-7 to a team that completed 2 passes.

That being said, even though I hate MTSU more than any other Sun Belt school for some reason, I'm totally rooting for them today, and not even because it will make us look better when we beat them. I love upsets, and they are not even close to being on the same level talent-wise that GT is. I know that GT is not exactly a top 15 team this year, but still, this is Georgia Tech, the Georgia Tech that has won the ACC and been to BCS bowls in recent memory....it isn't like they're playing one of the pseudo-BCS schools that are actually bottomfeeders (Kansas, Indiana, etc.). Good for MTSU.

At this point I'd have to agree, but that's based on a small sample size of them playing well. If we were playing them next week I'd be kinda worried, but they have more than enough time to fall back to earth before our game against them.

      Don’t tar and feather me, but I don’t think we’ve seen our best logo yet. Get those downvotes ready, but someone has to agree with me. I would like us to try something new.

      Injury Updates?

      You should be able to send it to the AD with a note written on it to request it be forwarded on to him. They should be able to gather them up and deliver them. Of course that requires having a department filled with competent people. I hope that is the case, but history shows that it is not a guarantee. It's a good idea and I encourage you to follow through. I'm trying to motivate myself to follow through on this as well. Something about this injury hit me harder than a lot of other (even worse) ones I've seen. I've got personal reasons that I think may be at play here.

      DATCU stadium

      Just a few Gameday experience notes: 1. I noticed the conference flags were gone. Did we fail to get an Army flag in time. Did we have an smu burning ceremony I missed. Kidding. Living by smu I noticed they had the ACC flags flying off the east side of the stadium for their Friday night tilt. 2. The inside stadium bar area needs some help. Get a sponsor for it and have them take it up several notches. Make that pavilion a fun zone for partygoers. It’s a large space with some solid football viewing potential. It could be elevated to see over the picture takers when the game starts but overall I bought a Reserve drink, hung by the railing and watched the first quarter. Now the sponsor part has potential. Make it a party zone. Bring in a dj and performers. Think Nikki Beach where performers, roam out every 20 minutes and get the crowd fired up, engaged. These performers are sometimes dancers, sometimes runway models, sometimes musicians playing solos to the beat. Love the Nikki Beach concept because it’s high octane festive sexy and fun. The Terrace could be the pregame party inside the stadium before the game starts and social deck after the game begins. Now for a complaint or curiosity. Why can’t you flow in and out with drinks? is it a liquor license thing? I was fine staying in the zone to drink my cocktail and watch the game but people on the outside were telling their friends on the inside to buy their next beer outside the terrace so they could roam around. It felt a bit restrictive and I was just curious why? All pro stadiums sell drinks in the corridors. UNLV has a slick Jack Daniel’s installation bar with tv’s showing games inside the Thomas and Mack. Just curious why the setup. I felt the Gameday experience was good. The music, announcer band and dancers seemed to connect yesterday. That has been a challenge in the past. They kept the entertainment moving. The game wasn’t but the pop moments from the various efforts flowed. The laser light show on the field was cool. But they should have instructed fans to go up in the stands for best viewing. Good job UNT, supporters groups and fans. Beat Tech. GMG

      Mean Green Invasion of Lubbock

      I mean this as no knock to the skill level of anyone in the band, but more broadly. The Green Brigade is just kind of boring when it comes to football bands. When I see bands like Tech, Texas A&M, Texas, LSU, etc., it really stands out.
