So you think we're cute and funny on other weeks? I guess that explains why you're here five years after the last time Houston played UNT. You can't quit us.

"And another thing: I'm not mad. Please don't put in the newspaper that I got mad."

I think they still stop on first downs for that. Saw it when Notre Dame had the ball at the end against Northern Illinois and it seemed like home cooking because the refs took so long to start the clock.

On TV it looked a lot like our color brick and you also saw as much of it on the sideline as you do at DATCU. Fans leaving en masse at halftime is weird to me. Why did you bother to go if you weren't going to stay for the whole thing? It was a five-point game! This is just like when I was a kid and my dad would drive us from Richardson to Arlington to see a Rangers game and then he wanted to leave in the seventh inning. YOU DROVE A WHOLE HOUR TO GET HERE OLD MAN CAN WE JUST STAY TWO MORE INNINGS DAMMIT.

HELLO WIN COLUMN! Just 6 more to 7.

Morris had 9 incompletions to Lopez's 23 and ran for 2 TDs to Lopez's 1. I'd give our guy the edge on numbers overall.

Ayo Adeyi's 1,017 rushing yards last season would look pretty good to a lot of RBs thinking about coming to Denton.

I'm so glad Coach Morris brought in his kid to play quarterback.

Does South Alabama's sideline brick look like DATCU to anyone else?

Goober -- the Alabama truckshare that makes you ride with the hogs.

I was going to ask the same question. Rice is an academic powerhouse that's among the highest ranked universities in the South. It just cracked the Forbes top 10 of all U.S. universities. Yes it sucks at athletics, no doubt. But let's keep it real about academics.

It's freaky how many times the announcers on FSU/Georgia Tech said "great play by the transfer from." College football has become Love Boat. Almost everybody is just a guest star.

See you later, McNeese State!

SMU has only beaten TCU four times in the last 20 games they played. Sometimes a big brother takes a break from hitting a little brother because his arm is tired.

There are lawyers weighing in with all kinds of hot sports opinions on what is going to happen. SMU fans here were predicting the FSU lawsuit would be dismissed. Instead that lawsuit and counterlawsuits are proceeding in Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina and the attorneys general in all three states are involved. Anyone who is certain about the outcome of all of that, and that it will definitely help their school, is doing more wishing than thinking.

Your avatar shows why uniform design matters. Put Somebody-Needs-His-Ass-Kicked Scrappy on a helmet and we would destroy opponents.

HelmetHistory.com thinks we're going with a green helmet and a giant diving eagle in 2024. https://www.helmethistory.com/north-texas.html

I think this is one of our weaker designs, but I reserve the right to revise my opinion if we win 8 games in it. Is there any football team with a helmet that uses the shape of Texas and looks good?

If there was a college football drinking game on when announcers say the words "big play by the transfer from," we'd all die of liver failure. I heard that more during FSU/Georgia Tech than mentions of Guinness and the Irish countryside.

I was attending UTA right after that happened. They were so committed to being a basketball school that they played their games in a class building/theater that seated a measly couple thousand. I took introductory astronomy in there.

My prediction is a 36-team SEC and Big 10 functioning like a collegiate NFL, raking in staggering amounts of money while everybody else is on the outside fighting for tablescraps. And SMU won't be able to buy their way into that club even if they forego all TV revenue until the heat death of the universe.

Same. Who knew that SMU fans were experts on conference media rights contracts and multi-state jurisdictional disputes? They must have stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

Every other team also has those small rosters, so if teams are doling out more NIL money there's no advantage for us. I don't want to hear that UNT should become a basketball-first program until we start to become a basketball power. Otherwise we will gain nothing by small-timing our football team.

He was an interim coach who inherited Dodge's mess in 2010 and McCarney's mess in 2015. Nobody expects a mid-season fill-in to stack up wins. Before he took over for Dodge, the Mean Green were 1-7 and scoring 16 points a game. Under Chico they doubled that and went 2-3 the rest of the season.

I'm going to tell myself that the barf icon on my Chico post was because one of you can't hold your liquor.
