  1. Kudos to SMU. They were more competitive today than just about anybody thought they would be. Congratulations on a good season.
  2. We too would get destroyed by Penn State. It's just another year that the ACC champion didn't deserve to be in the playoff, yet they somehow had a second slip in this year at the cost of significantly stronger teams.
  3. Even the SMU fans know that it should have been Alabama in this game. Playing close against a Clemson team which didn't even deserve to be in the playoff was not a valid excuse to let SMU slip in. Alabama can slug it out with the big boys, tiny private SMU just gets embarrassed on this stage. SMU's only victory may be their ability to deplete Penn State of fireworks.
  4. Wow, that's incredible news for the Latex.
  5. Average high temps in Dallas for early January are 45-50 degrees. Prepare to show pride and allegiance to your school by purchasing your MEAN GREEN sweatshirts and jackets while they are still available, or better yet, get them as Christmas gifts. *hint - make sure it's not maroon, gold, black, gray, purple, or any other non North Texas color.
  6. Attendance at softball is pretty good, and the volleyball games are often standing room only.
  7. I don't really have an opinion on logos or colors. Branding and tradition don't mean jack squat for a university. I guess not caring would make me qualified to be in charge of North Texas uniforms.
  8. After 30 years of never having a losing season this program should have developed a strong following. It hasn't. The "close friends and family only" attendance they receive shows that this is not the minor oversight that you mention, but more indicative of the soccer culture at our university. While teams at other schools are lined up singing their alma mater with their fans, our team wanders to the far sideline, aloofly removing their cleats and checking their text messages. They show that they owe their supporters nothing and are getting the same in return.
  9. I'd like to see us wear our green and white uniforms more often. They look great and they represent our university so well. .
  10. No. You never promote somebody that has two or three successful games as an interim when you need somebody that proves he can do it for a long duration. Retain the best position coaches, let the new DC select replacements for the others... and then get them all recruiting the players that they need for their system. There should be no viable excuses for next season's defense.
  11. I was expecting a victory for America, but I didn't expect a repeat of the Georgia-TCU Championship Game. I'm happy that so many people have placed their country's best interest before those of their special interest groups.
  12. We ALL win when Democracy has been saved. Congratulations America.
  13. The Mean Green Watching Party in the Beer Garden was an incredible success. The picture on the "Jumbotron" was very clear (distortion showing below is from my camera). The television is the size of a small billboard. The sound on the loudspeaker system was also loud and clear. It's always wonderful to watch a road game with a loud cheering crowd of Mean Green fans whenever you're not able to follow the team on the road.
  14. Maybe it's not incredibly obvious that we need to work on our identity and our branding. Like I may have said before, we are the worst in the nation about letting disloyal employees monkey with our branding. The problem was allowed to develop by our previous two university presidents, and Harrison Keller has yet to take any action. Sadly, it would only take him less than 5 minutes but I guess he's too lazy to fix the problem.
  15. I'm sorry that your frellings were hurt. North Texas went on the road and challenged a team that is bigger, faster, stronger, more experienced, has much larger budget, and has significantly more fan support; basically every advantage. We lost due to a tying 12 yard touchdown toss that fell incomplete as time expired. The Mean Green almost knocked off Memphis tonight. I am never pleased with a loss, but tonight was an excellent effort by our team and our coaching staff. Honestly, they represented our university well and I am proud of them. Memphis fans create cohesion by wearing Blue to support their teams. Other colors may be more trendy but Memphis fans do what is necessary to support their school.
  16. He's young and still a little uncomfortable speaking in front of crowds and cameras. That will improve with experience. In the meantime he's a damn fine young coach, winning and rebuilding as his entire roster has to be rebuilt every season due to the the transfer portal and NIL. In the meantime, just count our blessings. He may not turn out to be God's Gift to North Texas coaching but he has proven that he he's competent, and if we can provide him the tools he needs, he can develop a winning program. It's a damn hard job at this level. Please give Eric all the time, support, and bottles of water, that he needs. We're lucky to have him.
  17. I love Tylor and the devotion that he has for the North Texas community. I am very pleased to hear that he was there.
  18. True. Such a great look.
  19. It's our Green and White and it looks beautiful. It would be even better with our logos.
  20. Army throws some unfamiliar stuff at teams. I hope we're prepared. We've had some epic battles with them, winning several, but they won the bowl game.
  21. I refuse to blame Gen Z. It was us that that restricted their ability to grow and mature. Mom and Dad both worked and had considerably less time to spend with frivolous childish activities. Since the 1990's we have been handing them better and better gaming systems to keep them occupied and out of our hair. Since 2007 we have been handing them, and buying for them, the most advanced phone systems that occupied them and kept them out of our hair. They never did anything outside unless they monitored by a parent or coach. We didn't teach them beneficial values; loyalty, honesty, appreciation, patriotism, piety, charity, and pity for the less fortunate. They got pumped on ADHD medicines because it made parenting even easier. We let some horrible people get elected due a created plague and misguided and contrived race riots. A Green Agenda and Inflation Reduction Act have almost killed the American Dream for this generation. Government entitlements are billed as the only way forward but those benefits are reserved only for certain demographics that place their vices, drug activity, and special interests before the best interests of their country. Their school teachers, many bound to an unholy allegiance to their America hating union bosses, have been of little help. College Admissions were based on DEI (disguised racism). F U Harvard. Now these kids are being launched into the real adult world without having been properly prepared, without having to have participating in all those frivolous indiscretions of youth, and they are viewed as misguided and lazy because of the liberal (socialist) values that have been forced on them. The American Dream is still attainable. Vote FOR America in the coming election (as opposed to voting against it) and the process of correction will begin. A certain party has tried to sell the young people's future away but the dream isn't dead. Review the issues. VOTE WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA, and then live the fruitful and rewarding life of the American Dream. Or vote for the incompetent hag and her socialist agenda that are going to place everybody in poverty (equity) for generations. Like I said Gen Z, It's not your fault, but you're the only ones that can lead yourselves out of the mess that we allowed to develop. That or live like Brazil and Argentina in equity poverty. Please save yourselves. Please vote FOR America, live a wonderful and fruitful life, and raise your not yet envisioned children to live the American Dream. A "Woke" anti-America vote will ruin your children's and grandchildren's lives.
  22. FBS. I, like everyone else on Earth, forgot about Jacksonville State, but even they are having a bye-week.
