I'm getting tired of the phrase "3 man rush"

Welp. Nice chattin with y'all. Time to lower expectations and aim for Frisco. #Hit6

So, all we need to do is get 2 scores and this game is even . . .

Ya got to admit, Mr. Ambush is a great defensive player name.

Is the board terribly slow for anyone else?

The most amazing thing about North Texas is indeed the consistency. Regardless of the conference, the coach, the defensive coordinator, the offensive coordinator, the QB, or the opponent, the team finds a way to play down to the competition and ALWAYS looks bad on national TV. It's really quite astonishing when you think about it. The 3-peat in the Sunbelt was two decades ago. And that was the highlight of the entire century+ football history of NT.

OH MY FREAKING GHOD. edit: <SNL> nevermind </SNL>

Ok, so we only need a single touchdown to bring the game back even. No worries.

Ok, even game. Time to show what this team's got.

When the top schools manage to dump the Vandys and Rutgers of their leagues, and split off, how long until those fans get tired of 6-6 records and quit watching? Bullies can only exist because victims exist.

"North Texas: where people end up." That's a phrase I heard long ago when I ended up at North Texas State, and I suspect it really still rings true. People go to Texas, or Bama, or A&M, or Georgia, or Michigan, in part for the sporting scene and history. Not all their students, to be sure, but enough that there's a likelihood that the venues will be filled. Most students at UNT are probably not at their first choice school, and definitely aren't at their first choice school if the athletic social scene is a big driver for them. North Texas isn't quite the commuter school it used to be, but the attractions of almost anything else on a Saturday night can't be easily dismissed. Pick up UNT and stick it in East or West Texas, and you'd have more people at the game -- if only because there's nothing else to do.

UTEP officially announced for 2026-27

Somewhere on a Texas State board: "Tarleton State passing us by???"

I'm with NT93. What can they say that helps elevate the school? "We weren't asked to join the PAC, but if they did ask we totally would have said 'NO! Keep your 100-year history and name recognition far from us!'"

<insert astronaut with pistol meme> Since at least the 80s. This is nothing new.

That's a retrospective question that we can't answer yet. 2018 looked really good and ended up in the "At Least You Tried" bowl.

The ESPN announcer stated "4-1 matches the best record since 1991" but that's factually incorrect. In 2018 UNT went 4-0 (including beating an SEC team) and lost at home to go 4-1. (And boy did that last missed field goal hurt. I was there; that stadium went from rockin' to dead)

Since 1983, this is the 4th 1987 1988 2018 2024 <-- duh, this year is 2024, not 2023. My bad.

Frosty's for sure, with a root beer. I've never understood the appeal of Denton Independent; those guys have terrible french fries.

Does UNT still have those cowboy frat guys who do cumulative pushups for each score? If so, they'll be hurting tomorrow.

38-3

31-3. and 3-1. UNT is going to break my heart again this year, aren't they?

<borat> Very nice </borat>
