I am really, really happy I was wrong. I am also really, really happy I went to bed. It's 6am, I'm wearing a suit, and I'm out the door. I bet that were it your money I'm handling today, you'd be glad that I'm neither hung over or tired. As to what a super duper UNT fan you are, congratulations. Here's a gold star for your little UNT fan book. Seriously, I have never seen any sports venture like this place that enjoys so much deriding its own fan base, even in victory. Seriously big fish in a small pond syndrome. I hope your manhood feels a little bigger this morning because I think all that self promoting chest pounding (and only after the fact, I may add) may be compensating for something.

Yeah,I was clearly wrong too. I'll take my crow with a side of bacon, please.

Good night. Kid's asleep. I gotta get up early. I'll go form my own damn nightmares.

All the game highlights are of North Texas miscues. Missed pass, DT falling down, false start on 4th and 1.

During her first UNT game in 2008, my then 7-year-old daughter said, "Dad, this team is worse than cafeteria food," and she was right. Tonight, my now 11-year-old daughter said, "Dad, this team is worse than a vending machine tuna sandwich."

I'll say this. If there are massive sections of empty seats, ESPN is doing a great job of not showing them. Looks like the entire student section and lower endzone is full.

This team couldn't execute a half beaten corpse in an underwater electric chair full of cyanide.

I have read this title 20 times, and each time I see it on the front page, I see, "Teegarden left money shot behind UNT."

Tax returns done. Kid's going with her mom. Now I don't know what to do, but the Vegas insiders say the smart money has beer involved.

Candy Haven is the devil. They would make Mother Theresa sin for their amazing chocolate confections. Going on how out of this world crazy good their chocolate is, if I'm ever foolish enough to marry again,I insist on getting the cake from Candy Haven.

If I'm counting correctly, 34 of 59 AAU member universities field FBS football. I guess the other 25 just greased palms or something.

We're likely not going to file this straggler. He doesn't get us the info, it's not our responsibility to camp out all weekend waiting for him to pick up the phone on our Nth attempt to call him.

Finishing the tax return of the laziest taxpayer in the country before Monday's deadline.

Well, I'll certainly admit to some fermented barley water fueled outbursts this season.

I am dying at the level of whoosh on the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor. I am indeed an old man.

Just thought we might want to remember that. I doubt this is the year we return to a bowl, but it's probably not the abandon ship scenario we think it is either.

I like my current situation. It is explicitly written in our employee manual that personal online activity on sites like Facebook are private...until the day that we as employees begin to represent ourselves as connected to the firm in our profiles. Ergo, none of my Facebook friends know where I work.

Eh, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

In my case, there's no mom to leave the kid with. We're an all or nothing package the vast majority of the time.

Between the kid's school recital being that night and keeping her up three hours past her bed time on a school night, I would be a very bad parent for going to this game. I genuinely hope this isn't the case for too many other would be fans.

I just saw the writing on the wall...of text.

Hooker dogs in Houston?

Jesus, was the toilet paper in the bathrooms one-ply and below FBS standards? We're picking on cheerleaders at road games now?

This entire last week deserves its own wing in the gmg.com hall of fame.

I've been really trying to control the urge to make the bare cupboard argument because it was so baseless and head in the sand toward the real problem last time. That said, on a percentage basis, I believe Mac, playing with Southlake genius boy's players, would need to lose, I believe, his next 29 or 30 consecutive games to make it on to Tasty's vaunted Dodge Futility List. Same players, admittedly frustrating results, but still significant improvement. Most of the in game coaching decisions we now question aren't because he can't count to 11 on the play clock (although I seem to remember something like that against Troy). They're because it seems like he doesn't trust his players. For that, I've got no answers.
