where's all the people that badmouthed ULM before a decision was even announced? figures.

To stop the run I would think that Quinn will have plenty of single coverage. If Meager can just put it anywhere near him Quinn will catch it. I think Dickey will try this, just how much and if it's successful we'll see.

I guess you haven't watched the last couple of games with MTSU then. Hall threw for 285 yards and one TD last year vs MTSU. The year before we beat them deep twice for TDs. So we have used and beat them with the passing game the past couple of meetings. Question is, will we do it this year? In my opinion, we have to have a couple of big plays from the passing game to beat them.

Honestly, how can this be a "trap" game, we might not even be favored?

"I do my job,” Villarreal said. “I don’t base it on money. There’s been chances for me to leave this institution for more money, but that’s not what I’m about.” He would not say what other universities offered him employment" Either come clean or don't say anything at all. Tired of this kind of talk.

My gut reaction is that it is a good thing to go to MTSU without an LSU type game under our belt, especially if it was a blowout. But..... the last time we got blown out by LSU, the next week we went to Lubbock and beat Tech. So I said no bearing at all.

"when you get to big time college football pal, the season ticket holders have the good seats. you are lucky we even have visitor seats in the lower bowl. there are MANY people at LSU and around the country in REAL college football that pay WAY more than $50 a ticket to watch the game, but that just shows the mentality you have and others have about college football." That's what you said, which basically says I know nothing about college football, or as you put it, REAL college football. I beg to differ. All I can talk about is the experiences I had at LSU. Both weren't great. Bad enough that I won't go back. It's not worth the money it would cost, and I'll be the first to acknowledge that our performances down there haven't helped. But neither did the game day experience. I can handle the pre-game banter and whatever gets thrown at me. I'm a NT fan for chrissakes, I was born with a thick skin. But the seats were crappy, and the people walking by were being so stupid even the LSU fans around us were telling them to shut up. It would have been one thing if their crap would have been funny or even intelligent. But it wasn't. I expect you to defend your school but I'm just being honest when I tell you I won't go back to Baton Rouge. At least not anytime soon. And I tell you what, a REAL college football fan drives 12 hours to Las Cruces to watch a 3-8 NT team play a 2-9 NMSU team in front of about 3,000 people in a game that means nothing, and then turn around and drive 12 hours back. Because I didn't do that because it was the cool thing to do. I did that, and other NT fans do that because they love their team, school, and college football. So enjoy your REAL college football, maybe, just maybe one day I'll be a REAL college football fan. But I doubt it.

I'm a fan of the soapbox. I'm not talking in terms of how passionate somebody is for their team. That really can't be measured. All I know is that for the most part if I want to see NT play, I have to go to the game. Thankfully that has gotten better over the past couple of years but I've travelled to Boise, Nevada, Arizona State, Alabama, Vandy, Tech, OSU, LSU and many more places just so I can see the actual game. I can't just turn on the TV on Saturdays because I know my team will be on TV. I can't just open the sports page knowing they will have all the info about the game or the team. In fact, I gotta hope they covered the game at all. Like the saying goes "it ain't easy being green". Although even I'll admit it's a million times better than the dark years of the late 90s. Because to be a fan at a place like North Texas, you gotta be a fan. Nobody goes to Fouts because they are a bandwagoner.

hey stick me up top, I could care less at least I would be able to see the game and not have to deal with the a-holes walking down in front. It's a great place to watch a game, if you are a LSU fan or neutral fan. I don't think my AD gets to pick where the seats are. I doubt he said "hey, give us the sh$tty seats". By the way, I'll stack up where I've been to see games against you any day. I've probably been to close to 40 stadiums for college football. Try being a fan of NT against being a fan of LSU. Yeah, it's real tough being a LSU fan. I guess I'm not a REAL college football fan. I hope you are one of the 10% of good people I met the two times I've been to Death Valley. But if you are one of the other 90%, well.....I got no love for those people.

Does it bother me that LSU fans can't spell on message boards? No Did it bother me that a bunch of dumbass, non-educated, enter your own word for moronic "here", LSU fans make the game-day experience at Baton Rouge basically less fun than a root-canal? Yes. Did it help that the LSU athletic department stuck us on row 1, which meant the game was unwatchable from those crappy seats? No, it didn't help. I paid $50 to watch the game on the video screen. Thanks.....but no thanks.

maybe the rain will wash away all of the jackasses that go to LSU games. but i doubt it.

If you want to get technical, Kassell was in one of the worst recruiting classes of all time at UNT. He was part of that whole Simon's last class debacle. Nice article. The TD Kassell scored against Tech is up there as one of the best all-time plays I've seen a UNT player make.

Yeah, we handled DKR really well last year. And we've had so much success at LSU in the past 52-0 52-7 No need to predict a score but I think it will be ugly. We will have less than 150 yards and I will be amazed if we hit double digits. Here's to this being the last time we have to visit that hellhole.

I am very curious to know where the 4 time Sun Belt Champs are in regard to season ticket sales. In this piece, their AD says they are nearing 5,000.

Anybody who says anything about Jyles not missing any games has a really short memory. Just putting that out there before anybody makes an ass of themselves.

No.

It will be close until kick-off.

The best way to increase attendance is to increase the season ticket base. And what are we doing to increase that?

"We could be easlily 15-7 or 16-6 right now" Not really. We are what we are. We've lost one game on a last second shot so please explain how we could be improved by that much. There are no excuses for this basketball program. I'm not expecting Duke but 4-7 in Sun Belt play??? No excuses for a fourth year coach with no injuries and a very easy non-conf schedule.

Tired head.

Uh, I have a question about the Pearl Jam cd. I could've swore they played "Rats" and it's not on the cd. Things I remember about that night- I got stood up by this girl and went alone. Lines were ridiculously long for beer. I like BH Surfers but they were horrible that night. Vedder was pretty drunk after drinking a two liter bottle filled with wine onstage. It was pretty cool when that guy picked up Vedder and carried him around while he sang some song. Actually Eddie crawled on top of the guy. Crowd was pretty intense on the floor so I watched the show from the seats. The Super Pit was cut in half length-wise so everybody had a pretty good seat. That $%## missed a great show.

In most people's vernacular the word "some" would mean not a whole lot. If I had "some" of anything, you would think that I probably didn't have much of it. Or if there were "some" of anything left you would probably think there weren't many left. Meanwhile, down at the UNT ticket office where vagueness abounds, the word "some" must have a different meaning. Becuase I guarantee there are a hell of a lot more than some tickets left in the upper deck. More like.....all.

Damn, Cerebus made my point before me.

I may be wrong on this but I want Dupree to be hanging out with the football team. Maybe he'll realise what he's missing and get his grades in order. Would you have said the same thing about Buckles? Somewhat similar circumstances in that both needed to shore up their studies before they could play. The rest I don't know. Brewster just needs to be told to cool it and realise he gets watched more than the regular college student. I can only hope that Smith didn't know the guy had a gun.
