UNT 90 Grad

4:22 - Not sure why they thought the play clock wasn't working. Seemed to be working fine to me. Actually, I was just explaining the play clock to my son and pointing out that they were not going to get the snap off when they called this penalty.

Email reply from the Mean Green Premium technical support folks: Request Description:The audio died from the FIU / UNT game and now the video has died as well. Two games I really wanted to watch this year through your service and you've failed me on both (see the UNT / Troy game). The following response is provided: We are experiencing technical issues at the site of the broadcast. We are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks, site support. ------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for your request. Technical Support

21 - 12. FIU's up at the half.

The audio stopped at some point for me (thank goodness for Hank and George). Now the video has died as well. Anyone else having the same issues?

I really enjoyed the game (despite the weather elements and small crowd). I really liked the concept of the chant, but there was one thing about it that annoys me a little. This may not be popular, but show me a little lattitude...then feel free to shoot me down. It's annoyed me in the past when I hear people refer to us as the "Mean Green Eagles". Am I wrong that our mascot is the "Eagles" and our nick name is the "Mean Green"? I may have them switched around, but does it bother anyone else when they are combined together? Maybe I'm being petty. In the North Texas Football 2007 Fan Guide (page 11 for those following along), there is a similar chant cheer explained, though I'm not sure I've heard it done. I couldn't find an electronic version of the guide any longer, but the guide says: MEAN G - R - E - E - N Spellout Cheer Mascot or Cheerleaders instigate cheer by the action of rolling their fists... Crowd responds with continuous holler... "MMMMMEEEEEAAAAANNNNN" When the Cheerleader or Mascot instigator stops fist rolling action, crowd responds with the Green Spellout "G" "R" "E" "E" "N" GREEN Cheer sequence can be repeated continuously I think either cheer is great and I will prowdly chant along to either, but thought I'd throw this out there before the "Mean Green Eagles" cheer takes off further.

Per DirecTV and ESPN's web sites, it doesn't appear to be on ESPN Game Plan either. Just SNY and MASN channels.

According to DirecTV, ESPN GamePlan isn't including this game. ( http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/conte...assetId=1800007 ) I also don't find it on ESPN's website. ( http://sports.espn.go.com/espntv/espnTopic...l&watch=CFB ) I know MeanGreenSports.com says some flavor of ESPN will have it, but does anyone have a confirmation from another source? So far, I only see it listed on the SNY (New York) and MASN (Mid-Atlantic) channels. I don't think either of these are easy to come by in Texas, but I could be wrong.

Does anyone know, with a relatively high level of confidence, of a sports bar in downtown Dallas that gets one of these channels? Preferably near the West End? Per DirecTV's website, SNY is not available in Texas. MASN is local sports coverage in the Mid-Atlantic. MeanGreenSports.com says some flavor of ESPN is carrying it, but ESPN's website has no reference to it that I can find. If I was going to be at home, I'd watch it on Mean Green Premium, even though I'm still a little miffed by the technical difficulties during the Troy game. Instead, I have to be downtown meeting a friend from out of town. A little help?

I'm an '86 PESH grad, so go Panthers! (But I live in Allen, so go Eagles also?!?!)

I'll be there with wife in tow.

I hope DirecTV is right: http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/epg/d?id=412774546

DirecTV shows that the game is going to be on 21 in the DFW area. I'm crossing my fingers it'll be in HD. (Wishful thinking.)

I was at the Advanced-Online warehouse today and the supervisor said that they will have the replica jerseys next year. As others have posted, he said that by the time they would have been able to get the truer replicas in, the season would have been about over. Same story on basketball jerseys as well. On another note, he told me that Advanced-Online does merchandise for both UNT and SMU. He said they sold a lot more UNT stuff at the UNT/SMU game than SMU merchandise. May not surprise anyone with all the new North Texas fans this year. (Thanks TD.) The supervisor pointed out a palate of merchandise ready to go for the FAU game. Great bunch of guys at Advanced-Online. I was bummed they wouldn't sell me anything at the warehouse. You have to use the web site. GMG!

I'm in Section F, Row 25, Seats 6 & 7. (You already have me with my section and row, but "?" for my seats.) Thanks for putting this together. GO MEAN GREEN!

I'll be your neighbor at Section 126, Row 7, Seats 7 & 8.

The NFL Network schedule shows replays of the Miami/JAX preseason game tomorrow (8/13) at 1am and noon CST. Got my Tivo ready! http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/schedule/0813

I'm section F, Row 25...two rows in front of you. The seats are in the upper tier (row 20 or so is the front row in the upper tier). People in that area are into the game, but they don't get too rowdy...at least not in the previous 3 years or so that I've had these seats. There are a few hecklers a few rows back, but they may have just not been big on Dickey. Although the "Go Mean Black" cheers were slightly humerous during the last home game. It looks like there will be a lot of new faces in the reserved sections this year, so your guess is as good as mine on whether or not we'll have a fun area. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

Seems like if we dug out everything within the bowl of the stadium so that the field was well below ground level, added stands in front of the existing home and visitor sides (bringing seating closer to the field as in the doctored pic), and pulled in the metal bleachers (closing in the existing gaps), we might have something semi-decent. Though we'd have to find an alternative to the Mean Green Club party deck. Oh, and of course add SOW on the 50. That mixed with the concourse/restroom renovations taking place. It'd still not be a new stadium, but maybe a lot better than what we currently have.

By chance, were those the pants UNT sported during TD's first stint at North Texas? Seems like the timeline is pretty close if I remember correctly.

Bret Vito on Belo's Mean Green Blog seemed to think we might see big things out of Jamario today. I wouldn't call what I saw big, unfortunately. If I remember correctly, he got a TD, but I think he wound up netting about even on yardiage. Then they didn't seem to play him much after the first few seires. It would be nice if he could become the threat he used to be...giving the opposing defenses that much more to think about.
