Huh. That almost never works.

I realize right now that everyone expects the Mean Green to get rolled by LaTech. But suppose the team does well, and pulls out a win. The next week is a bye, and then ACU. Does a win in Ruston significantly appease the FIRE MORRIS crowd? Would a win the next game, and a 2-2 record do it? What say you?

No, because people show up to the Giants games.

It was just so generic. The exact same ad could be run for any number of universities and community colleges.

I got hate for this. Turns out I was off, but not by much. Why does NT football -always- have to be terrible? It's been this way, with brief exceptions, since I started at the school in the late 80s.

At least we're saving energy by not having to light the tower.

I'm starting to think that some of the predictions in the score thread were too optimistic.

On a positive note, the triple-interception series might make SportsCenter

Oh holy hell. This is just bad football all around.

Welp.

Argh, ya gotta get that one

Everybody's got to start somewhere.

A better runner than QB?

It's all nostalgia for the SWC, when SMU gained legitimacy simply by being in the same conference as A&M and Texas. For some reason, 40 years of nothing doesn't impact that school as badly as it does ours.

FIU by 10. I'd love to be wrong.

Building our players won't work in the world of NIL and transfers. If our guys get good, they'll get recruited away. That leaves transfers. Colorado and Texas State just proved the case.

Arkansas, 2018.

Well . . . Other than the offensive line, defensive line, passing game, running game, and special teams we looked pretty good. The facilities are great, and I especially like having my choice of seats in the second half. That's a North Texas tradition we should keep.

Did Washington State and Oregon State pop to the top of mind when folks mentioned the PAC? Not really -- they're in the same spot Rice or SMU was back in the SWC days. Members, but not the starpower of the league. If OS/WS can't bring the PAC name with them, they're just another set of mid-sized regional colleges on the level of UNT or Georgia State. I'm not sure they really move the needle that much. That's not saying I won't welcome them to the AAC, or that UNT shouldn't try to get into the PACx if it survives. I'm just saying that they aren't UCLA, and it shows.

It's got to be a tough job to be a G5 Commish. Every team is looking to move on all the time.

In similar news, I have decided to not pursue Katy Perry regarding an ongoing relationship. She's just not worth my time.

Hurrah. Now will the ponyboys please leave this board?

I'm *not* interested in SMU. The only concern I have is how the AAC is impacted. Frankly I'm hoping the ponyboys go away if the team changes conferences.

A buddy and I had them for two decades or so. You got the same tickets to the Cup, Busch, Truck, and Indycar races. For a while it was a good deal, then TMS started offering extremely low cost tickets just before the races that weren't too much worse than ours. So why spend $$$$ per seat for season tickets when you could just cherry pick the races you wanted to see for $? It was even worse for some, for some seats there are also PSL charges. You can still buy season tickets there: https://www.texasmotorspeedway.com/events/season-tickets/
