Clearly the coaching and overall defense made the difference tonight. Even last year the offense was okay, but what an improved defense.

Yes, but how far into the future have they agreed to play us in all sports?

Day or night I'll take Dos Equis Lager Beer every time. In fact a lot of Mexican beers are quite good. Anyone else have a Mexican favorite beer?

Any fans watching out here in Arizona? And what time would it start here?

Just think about the many famous statements when using a bad word was appropriate: "What the @#$% was that? Mayor of Hiroshima, 1945 "Where did all those @#$% Indians come from?" Custer, 1877 "Where the @#$% are we? Amelia Earhart, 1937 "Any @#$%ing idiot could understandthat." Einstein, 1938 and finally...... "Aw c'mon. Who the @#$% is going to find out?" Bill Clinton, 1997

I can remember when I had family connections with the Cowboys, and certain quality players would be "hidden" to be drafted in later rounds. I knew the scout and he explained that some deals get put together when the players are just juniors and, well, have things changed so much since then? {:-) I recall one player who was advised to attend New Mexico U. and was told the Cowboys would draft him. Remember the name?

Isn't it interesting that the latest poll shows Idaho just a spot below the three teams that have local connections from now and the recent past: North Texas, SMU, and Utah State!

The college season preview isue at SI lists all the major schools in order. The #120th team is Utah State. Do you think it has anything to do with their Offensive Coordinator?

Will there be window stickers large enough to cover the good looking NT Exes ones?

Hey, is it possible to order a couple of lawn chairs to be shipped to me out in Arizona? If so, I'm on it! Any opinions, or store mailing address?

For anyone who hasn't been to Las Cruces NM, I would suggest a visit on vacation to see the mountain areas, skiing, great food, and just a short drive to El Paso. I've seen many games in their stadium, against UNT and UNM. I used to travel in that area on business so I'm very comfortable in recommending it.

Let's keep an eye on defensive end C.E.Crespin from Rio Rancho NM. I lived in that community for many years and all my contacts have favorable reports on him. You can see more in Scouts.com about him. It would be nice if we start playing defense like we mean it!

Interestingly, I get UNT football games even out here in Arizona using DiectV DSL. Most times they are on FSNAZ or FSNSW.

Yes. it's the one with LaDainian on the front. The article about the Mean Green does cover six pages with pictures. The theme is that our players do not expect to lose. It's very positive. Now the article title is "The Dream of the Doomed." The cover messages says, "The Mean Green of North Texas are talking the talk as they prepare for Oklahoma. Can you Game-Plan a miracle?" Even Dr. Phil as a part called "Get Real!." He has a Ph.D. in clinical psych from North Texas. We believe that strange things can happen in a game. Would you have picked Boise State to beat OU in the Fiesta Bowl?

I was there in Tucson for that game and wow, we got robbed again! So close!
