Funny.

Pourhouse has a great setup if they're showing it.

Awesome. I could enjoy the Big East.

Please keep basketball questions in the basketball forum.

While this does look great for us, it's now set up to be a complete slap in our face if we don't get the invite. Let's hope RV isn't getting this Saturday off!

"What does it mean?"

... I don't think so...

An interesting question given last weekend's results.

This. Heckling can be intelligent and funny or dumb and classless. The Rice band does such an intelligent job of heckling the offending party can hardly get mad because it's done so well. I think of that as an example of good heckling. Doing nothing but throwing foul language to the opposing team isn't heckling. To me, that's just trying to pick a fight with someone you know can't fight you. Pathetic. I haven't sat in the student section in years so I guess I'm not sure what it sounds like now but I trust we can find ways to use Apogee to our advantage AND represent ourselves in a positive manner.

Heckling from the student section is a must. It's part of the fun for the students. That's one reason the student section is purposefully placed behind their bench. Alumni are supposed to show class, not students. I loved it even at fouts when the opposing team would turn around and acknowledge us in some way because that just confirmed we were doing our job. Keep it going guys. The record is beginning to speak for itself. Any way we can get a home field advantage I'm all for it.

Not yet.

Now THAT would get me excited about the band.

... and totally redeem yourself.

What about the spelling of U-N-T with your arms? Is that not part of it anymore. I don't see anyone doing that anymore. I don't have a problem with people not singing the fight song (I actually don't either). But I'd like everyone to join in 'U-N-T Eagles. Fight Fight Fight." I feel out of place when I do it. Sad.

The competition.

I couldn't find a thread worth reading or following so I started my own. Do you guys think the UNT football program is headed in the right direction given the changes made over the last 2 or 3 years?

At this point I'd like to just close my eyes and wake up when it's all over.

I love when parenting turns into bribery of junk food so you can watch football. GMG!

I've got to say I'm impressed you even attempted a game with the baby. I remember those days and the last thing I would've wanted to do was take the baby to a game. I'm sorry your experience wasn't great but kudos for the effort. I think my wife and I would've just had to take turns going to the game.

How many times are we to try and organize the 'north... texas...' chant on a message board? Put me in the group of people who have always hated this. It really annoyed me to sit behind the Talons while I was a student and be forced to listen to the 'high pitched beep' for every penalty.

Things like the stadium don't always happen the first try. RV may have made a mistake in his first attempt but he didn't run away from the idea or throw his hands in the air and say 'this isn't possible here.' Instead he went with 'Why not North Texas?' and the rest is history. I'm sick of people acting like armchair ADs.

Can we all agree they are making a significant effort towards creating a 'real' football program while at the same time understanding we're not there yet and have to operate a little differently? While I'm frustrated with the on the field decisions at times I couldn't be more pleased with everything else.

My bad bleedgreen. Yes, it was a sarcastic comment similar to serious posts you find littered all over this message board following the kickoff time change. I will be there Saturday. Would've come to the game regardless. We have such few home games each year I really don't understand why there has to be so much fuss over everything all the time. Just enjoy jumping on the dog pile or fighting one off from time to time.

I think the time change has less to do with the Rangers and more to do with our team performing so well last week at that same kickoff time. Got to keep this win streak alive.

I'm going to need RV to call and personally ask me to come in order to show up to this game. Otherwise, I'll be gearing up for the WS.
