Mr. Mudd and, I believe his son, had a great restaurant in the budding Lantana/Bartonville community 10-15 years ago. Aptly named Mudd's. A little Mudd NT memorabilia, IIRC. GMG

Lesson: don't get distracted by gmg.com during work hours...my mind just took me to the pool scene, sans Brad's bathroom cameo. GMG

I'll go latter. GMG

Yes. He told me his seats are, I think, 10-12 rows up behind the visitor bench. Say hi to Joe Deen! GMG

Update from a good buddy, Memphis alum, long-time season ticket holder: Well, I am at the game but a pretty sparse crowd. Really bad weather and storms moving thru. Don't you just hate fair weather fans? I see 3 North Texas fans in front of me. (Guessing that is @Matt from A700 and his crew) GMG

Never left my seat the whole game from section 208. Any idea what the relative split was for TXSt fans v NT fans? Coming into the game and looking from the top floor of Moody parking lot in the hour or so before I went into the stadium, it appeared TXSt fan outnumbered us 4 or 5 to one, if not more. Clearly there were more of them than us, but did anyone get a shot of the NT side of the field to discern how many of those on that side were in Green. And even with TXSt fans sitting on the West side, was it even near full? We were mostly NT fans in our section but there were quite a few TXSt fans. Then after the game, coming out of the stadium into the concession area on our side it was packed NT. But likely most TXSt on our side stayed for the post game. I am guessing 3:2 or maybe 17K:11K for the whole stadium, but I may be way off. GMG

Well done, lads! Invade. Then win. GMG

I am not the first to suggest that if NT were about as far away from DFW as Waco is, we would have a more enthusiastic following. Lubbock, I always thought, is too far from the Metroplex but its isolation and being the only game in town, is quite admirable for its Red Raider fervor. GMG

I didn't look recently but when I bought tickets last week, you can scroll through the stadium map to find where seats are available at each price point. In every section on the NT side, there were more available seats than on the TXSt side. On vividseats.com, TXSt has no availability in slightly more sections but the price for equivalent sections on each side is almost all more expensive on the TXSt side. Some of our seats will have TXSt fans in them also, I would suspect (lower prices). Still think you will be able to get cheap seats on game day. There were lots of free tickets handed out for this one. GMG

Looking for the green hat that says MEAN on the front. Voertman's apparently had it and it is out of stock. GMG

Jerry Reed? Reeves was before my time, but Cummings, if anything, was a homer. And I loved it. He didn't shine light on a bad team, but he generally presented North Texas positively. His stories, almost daily during the season by my recall, always ended with an "Eagles Notes" section that had a series of tidbits about players and coaches. Loved reading about North Texas as it was presented by Randy Cummings. But honestly, I love reading Vito's work also. Because any coverage of NT football adds to the information than I can get from other sources or on my own. GMG

Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reason. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG

It really is remarkable how good this defense is. So many times MVS didn't get off a shot during their possession, or missed on a last second panic. GMG

That looks like a school that accurately counts its butts in the seat attendance. Anyone have pictures of Huskie Stadium for that those games? I'd like to see what that looks like. GMG

HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because: We can't afford bowl game pricing. We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team. We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation. We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We basketball. We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco. We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in. We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year. We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather. We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear. We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band. Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway. HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium. GMG

Does that infer we can count on these four playing? GMG

@FirefightnRick Kind of the App State of its day. Some of my favorite games came during that time. On the whole, I liked Matt Simon and I loved our team. GMG

If we are stuck with NIL and portal, I think portal shouldn't open up until after bowl season. GMG
