Our special teams suck. Our defense gives up touchdowns on third down every freaking time. Yet here we are. Alone. Atop out division. At 4-1 in conference and 5-3 over all. This team sucks. Badly. At finding ways to lose.

How's this working out for ya, golden shower eagles?

Just gonna say that I shouted out to you @Harry at the tailgate today and got totally ignored. So lame. So hurtful. I've been drowning myself in a bottle in consolation.

Man, I went to look that up because I didn't believe you! I was also shocked to see that 5 of their 11 games were against ranked teams that year. Damn!

It was actually unintentional upon first writing. I caught it later, but found it entirely too amusing to remove. I actually did get it backwards upon first writing. I fact checked myself, realized I'd gotten it backwards, and found it too funny to correct.

No. Poking satirical fun at @Christopher Walker for not attending a home game.

This thread brings up such delicious opportunity for me to point accusatory fingers at you and tell you what an unloyal fan you are and how your life priorities are wrong and bad and you should feel bad and I am the best fan ever because I went through my closet to find an appropriately #FFFFFF black shirt to participate in the blackout tomorrow while silently spewing under my breath that it's the wrong shade of green and that we're the Mean Green, not the Mean Black. I am 100% absolutely going to stand at attention with my hand over my heart in the club while the anthem is playing tomorrow too.

I think I've lost my taste for craft beer in general. I think everybody was getting it right about three years ago, and in an unending endeavor to go further, we started getting shit with sour agave worms and jalapenos dusted in cake frosting aged in free range hippy bathtubs while the IPAs got so hoppy that I felt obliged to hang Christmas ornaments on the cans. Maybe it was my year without beer in 2015 (which I totally pulled off just to see if I could). I lost the taste.

Can you deliver in thirty minutes or less with a side of cheesy sticks?

If you'll ping me on or around November 14thish, and the athletic department is offering me two free general admission tickets as they are for this weekend, you can have them.

Aw geez. How am I gonna know the correct shade of black to wear? (And seriously, unless I can wear my Young Ones shirt, I doubt I own a black shirt)

I got an email yesterday thanking me for being a Mean Green Club member and offering me two Reserved Endzone tickets for Saturday's game against Old Dominion. I've put the kid on notice that she's kicked out of the club and needs to bring two friends to the game, so hopefully I can bring a net +3 people (empty club seat is one more person) to the game Saturday. I assume reserved endzone is down below the wing behind the goal posts? Not sure. If you feel compelled to respond with some such nonsense as "Who would want to see this dumpster fire of a team play?" well, don't. I appreciate the promotion from the AD.

This time last year, we were also 4-3. Time to improve on the back end.

Life as a UNT fan -- expect nothing. Get pleasantly surprised every once in a while. But never let your guard down and expect anything. You do that, and you will get kicked in the nuts. Repeatedly. Brutally. I'm starting to think more and more that @SilverEagle is right -- we had our chance in the 70s, left it on the table, and have dug an impossible hole to escape forever more. Enjoy the beer, the coeds, and the company. Every once in a while we might even win a game.

I recall remarking at the last home game that if I were a bajillion dollar donor, I'd pay to at lest get legitimate chairbacks installed on the alumni side. To me, the sporadically placed chairbacks in what, ten percent of seats, looks kinda weird. At least consider the bench backs that SMU has. As much as I hate to compliment ANYTHING about those smug pieces of excrement, I have to admit that I appreciated the bench backs throughout the stadium. Of course, I assume that if we did bench backs on the alumni side, there would be a significant contingency that would find it subpar and classless.

I demand these for every seat throughout the stadium or GTFO:

We open a mere 7 point favorite over ODU with a -110 pick'em on the money line. The betting world continues to have no faith.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Do you think Kiffin has an iota of loyalty to FAU? He'll be on the first plane out when the opportunity presents itself. But in the short-term, he's got FAU playing like a well oiled machine.

Box score reads 13,277. Sketchy at best.

It coulda been worse:

69-31 final

Unbelievable that they went for it. What a dick move.

Consolation prize touchdown! Yay!

Wow. Two play drive for another touchdown. 69-17 (Assuming the extra point)
