No, I am not taking this time to complain about DD. He is ridiculously horrible at calling plays.. but that isn't what this point is about. The cheerleaders are the worst I have EVER seen. They stand facing the game and only start the "DEFENSE" chant after someone in the crowd gets it going first and then the cheerleaders turn around and join in. The entire 4th quarter was 3rd and 4 type situations. We needed noise. We needed the defense to know we had their back. The cheerleaders only seem to cheer themselves. I am thankful for the cones they handed out before the game. I actually was calling out the cheerleaders to do their job. "Come on CHEERLEADERS we need you! DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE" "Come on CHEERLEADERS do your job! DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE" "Come on CHEERLEADERS cheer! DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE" "Porkchops porkchops greasy greasy. Scoring on the Bulls is easy easy." ... anything to get the crowd and cheerleaders in to it. When I yelled this, the curly haired love-handle cheerleader turned around and shot me a glare.. then they turned around and joined in. A male cheerleader pointed at me in a threatening way and squinted his eyes. I thought of the movie Bring it On. Sparky Pollanski said, "Cheerleaders ... are dancers gone retarded." I didn't care. I kept calling them out each time. What is the point of chanting defense between plays or while the play is going on?! I think they do it because then they are the only wons being heard. I propose that FFR gets a megaphone and stands in the front row and gets the crowd going. I know he can do it... He who is stunned by this loss, SWB

Very interesting. Thanks for the details. I love to hear stuff like this. On top of that, she doesn't hide the fact that she attended UNT. It is on her official site. Good times!

When the economy makes people enroll in school again. This is to be expected..

I was irritated by the guy wearing a unt greek shirt and a bright blue cap with a red pony on the front. Every time I looked toward the field -- all I could see was the acronymn SMU in front of me. I don't understand this. He goes to UNT, but wears other schools' clothes? This isn't rocket science. I am not saying ALL greeks do it, nor am I saying they are the ONLY ones to do it... I do only tend to see the A&M, TT, UT and SMU hats on them. I live in Dallas and went to the TCU game. Afterwards I drove up to UNT to go hit the bars and talk to people about the game. The bartender at Cool Beans asked the score, but then said he really didn't care because he is a TT fan. He went on to say that he graduated from UNT, but likes TT better. It confuses me.

No argument there.

This is curious. Lastnight I was watching Free Speech Television on Dish Network. I wanted to see what the 'free thinkers -- truly liberal and correct' people had to say about September 11th. I truly truly truly want to understand the otherside. I really do. I am FAR from being Republican. I want to see both sides. Anyhow, all I got for the two hours I watched was the patriotism is bad. Patriotism isn't bad. They are misusing the word. They mean blind faith, or cattle vision, not patriotism. Just because I say I love this country, doesn't mean I can't say in the next breath that I disagree with what happens sometimes. I got in a semi argument last Saturday night with a friend about 9/11. He said flying flags and bandwagon patriots are lame. They are as bad as the idiots who fly the planes into the buildings. He said we should think for ourselves and not hide behind a flag. We should realize what our country does... How is saying you are happy with your country and your life implying that you agree with everything that goes down? I love that I can question the powers that be, question their authority, question what PLAYS THEY ARE CALLING. This goes with bombing Iraq or bombing against NSU. I love that I can question and voice my opinion. Go Mean Green. UNT Patriot.
