When would have been the time in the game you pulled him out? Halftime? End of 3rd?

And Roberson their transfer WR led all receivers. If you think the transfer issue isn’t going to majorly impact this game you're crazy.

Didn’t work for my dad.

Nick Harvey, the graduate-student defensive back, was a tackling machine in his Mean Green debut. Harvey, who came to North Texas after stops at Texas A&M and South Carolina, had 12 tackles in the first half and finished with 14.

DENTON - This is how to start a Heisman campaign. North Texas quarterback Mason Fine, the nation's leading active passer entering the season, threw for four touchdowns and 297 yards in the first half and finished with 383 yards in Saturday night's opening act of his senior season. Fine's high-school teammate Jason Pirtle caught three touchdowns, the first three scores of his college career; Rico Bussey, Jr., had a career-high 156 receiving yards and a score; and Deion Hair-Griffin had a 58-yard kickoff return to set up the game's first score and a 96-yard return for a touchdown in the Mean Green's 51-31 season-opening victory over Abilene Christian at Apogee Stadium. "I liked the way we came out on offense, defense and special teams," North Texas coach Seth Littrell said. "I liked the way we attacked early." The North Texas defense threw a shutout until late in the second quarter, led by cornerback Nick Harvey with a 14 tackles and a pass rush that generated pressure on ACU quarterback Luke Anthony. The Mean Green allowed ACU just 49 yards offense in the first period, but the Wildcats built some momentum late in the second quarter that carried over to the second half. "I like our athleticism and I'm excited about this team, but we've got to more focused for four quarters," he added. The Mean Green offense, facing high expectations with a record-setting senior quarterback surrounded by an arsenal of weapons, scored 16 seconds into the 2019 season and roared to a 17-0 lead in the first period. It was 31-0 before ACU got on the scoreboard. "We were able to create some different matchups with play-action," Littrell said. "We did a great job getting the offense rolling early. I loved the way we started fast. Fine threw a pair of touchdown passes to an extremely open Pirtle in the first quarter and added a 49-yard, second-quarter touchdown to Bussey, who made the grab falling backwards into the end zone between two ACU defenders. Fine's final TD toss of the night went to Pirtle for a 31-0 lead. The Mean Green ground game struggled early but picked up speed in the second half, led by DeAndre Torrey with 95 yards and Loren Easly with 51 yards and a touchdown. Quick Hits The 2019 season began with a 58-yard return of the opening kickoff by UNT redshirt junior Deion Hair-Griffin (Fort Worth). On the first snap from scrimmage of the year, following Hair-Griffin's return, Mason Fine threw a 32-yard TD pass to redshirt junior tight end Jason Pirtle (Peggs, Oklahoma). The Fine-to-Pirtle connection was good for 59 touchdowns at Locust Grove High School, but this was their first score at North Texas. On the Mean Green's next possession, Pirtle grabbed his second collegiate TD from Fine, this one from 17 yards. Hair-Griffin's 96-yard kickoff return in the second quarter was the Mean Green's longest since DeAndre Torrey's 96-yard return in last year's season opener. In his final season's assault on what remains of the Mean Green team record book, senior quarterback Mason Fine(Peggs, Oklahoma) moved up in two categories: Second in career touchdown passes with 68, passing Mitch Maher (1991-94) for second with 67 and one back of Steve Ramsey (1967-69) with 69. Second in career touchdowns responsible for (passing and rushing) with 73, surpassing Scott Davis (1987-90) with 70 and Ramsey with 71. Nick Harvey, the graduate-student defensive back, was a tackling machine in his Mean Green debut. Harvey, who came to North Texas after stops at Texas A&M and South Carolina, had 12 tackles in the first half and finished with 14. Senior wide receiver Rico Bussey, Jr. (Lawton, Oklahoma) climbed the school receiving records: Fourth in career receiving touchdowns with 21, tying Johnny Quinn (2003-06) fourth with 21, David Brown (1991-94) third with 23; Troy Redwine (1992-95) second with 23. Fourth in career 100-yard games with nine, tying Ron Shanklin (1967-69). Ninth in career receiving yards with 1,791, passing Pete Harvey (1978-81) and Marcus Camper (1985-88), who will be inducted into the North Texas Hall of Fame this fall. Bussey's 156 yards receiving Saturday is his career high. Redshirt freshman safety Jaxon Gibbs recorded his first career sack when he dropped ACU's Luke Anthony for an 8-yard loss in the first quarter. Denton Ryan junior linebacker Tyreke Davis recorded his first career sack and recovered an ensuing fumble. Sophomore kicker Ethan Mooney (Fort Worth), in his first game handling the place-kicking duties, was perfect on the night, hitting all three of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra points. Junior defensive back Cam Johnson (Houston) had a career-best eight tackles. Senior defensive end LaDarius Hamilton had a career-high three quarterback hurries. Sophomore linebacker K.D. Davis had a career-best eight tackles. This was Abilene Christian's first game at Apogee Stadium, in its 15th game in Denton.

What: Joe Greene Hall Dedication (tours will be available after the ceremony) When: 3:30 p.m. Aug. 31 (Saturday) Who: NFL Hall of Famer Joe Greene, UNT President Neal Smatresk, UNT Vice President of Student Affairs Elizabeth With and student residents of Joe Greene Hall Where: 800 Avenue A in Denton (intersection of Eagle Drive and Avenue A) **Free parking is available in the Highland Street Garage at the corner of Highland Street and Avenue A.** Background: The 500-bed residence hall features pod-style student communities made up of four to nine sleeping rooms with centralized social and restroom spaces in each pod. The concept is designed to give students more privacy and give them shared social space outside of their rooms to study, play games and watch television. Other amenities in the new residence hall include practice rooms for musicians, study lounges and a full kitchen. The university announced in May that it would be naming the residence hall after one of its most iconic figures. At the time, President Neal Smatresk noted Greene’s impact on the university went well beyond his prowess on the football field. Greene also was the first African American to serve on the UNT System Board of Regents and has continued to be a valued Mean Green supporter and ambassador for the university throughout his life. Unquestionably the greatest football player in UNT history, Greene also is one of the greatest defensive tackles in NFL history. The first UNT player selected in the first round of the NFL draft, Greene played 13 seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, becoming the cornerstone of the famous “Steel Curtain” defense and winning four Super Bowls. The NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1969, Greene went on to earn 10 Pro Bowl invitations and two Defensive Player of the Year honors. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987, and his No. 75 was retired by the Steelers in 2014, only the second number ever retired by the franchise. At UNT, Greene was named a Distinguished Alumnus in 1976, was a member of the first class of the Athletics Hall of Fame in 1981, and served as a UNT System Regent from 1983 to 1987. Joe Greene Hall was part of a $58.9 million project that also included the new UNT Welcome Center, which opened earlier this year.

Time Machine!

Last season Cal beat North Carolina, BYU, Oregon State, Washington, USC and Colorado. The lost 10-7 to TCU in their bowl game. They aren't Bama but they beat some pretty damn good programs last season and also had some close losses against good teams. Holding TCU to 10 points tells me their defense is stout. https://calbears.com/schedule.aspx?schedule=1561

No not at all. Just trying to figure out a replacement for NY Subs. Been going there a long time. Tailgating always comes first but sometimes life's schedule doesn't allow for it, or perhaps you are bringing new friends or family who can't tailgate for 3+ hours etc and you are just looking at a quick place to grab a good sandwich on the way (UNT main campus side). I also have not "given up" on NY Subs but looking at the history of eminent domain, it seems to me this is more about negotiating for more money from UNT than keeping the location in place. Honestly, I love NY Sub and am sorry to see them go, but my allegiances are with UNT first and foremost. If they have another location I will try to get by there when I am able. I really liked Sack and Save and shopped there often when I was a student, but it wasn't right to have that be the front door of the University. Change can be hard GMG

Never happened before to my recollection. Just huge.

Is there any type of of NY Deli alternative in newDenton? What about Gyros?
