Only three read his column: his mom, Vito, and the bird in the cage sitting above it!

I was confused when DD took the FG points off the scoreboard and accepted the penalty against MT and the ball back. I was yelling at the TV "we're up 17-7 and you do what??". I thought he wanted a TD (more points ala Baylor) instead of the FG. Then I saw them down the ball and realized MT was out of timeouts and they didn't have to risk a kickoff this way. All is forgiven, except 21-7 would have looked better in the papers!

Like every year, I would like to see more blitzes from our Defense. Marks had too much time to throw, and although he had 3 ints, he was like 21-27. More QB pressure is needed against Tulsa as their QB tore up OU for 3 quarters, leading 9-7.

Yes, PLEASE!!

I think it did. The team had no negatives coming into the game, except inexperience. The more they hung with MTSU, just waiting for good things to happen, the more they did happen. I don't think we'd have the same confidence and patience if we'd been beat last week.

Agree, not a bad night for a first game. I think we'll see him get better with experience, as in the 25-second clock, he didn't make that mistake again. I am still concerned with his health, he seemed to sprain an ankle later in the game and they re-taped it, and the announcers mentioned his shoulder too.

No, it was the same green as last year. They didn't have time to change the green for this season before the order was due so it will be next year when we get the new color on the unis. I like the new logo font better than the script. And I was afraid they were going to make the Texas smaller then North as in the decals they gave out with the season tickets. I'm glad they kept the words the same size and just offset them. It could be larger to be more visable from a distance, and better yet would be just a NT on them!

North Texas 14, Middle Tenn. St. 7 Preview - Box Score - Recap Middle Tenn. St. September 10, 2005 MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -- Maurice Holman returned a third-quarter interception for 99 yards and a touchdown as North Texas defeated Middle Tennessee 14-7 on Saturday. Patrick Cobbs scored North Texas' only touchdown on offense later in the same quarter on a 4-yard run. Cobbs rushed for 103 total yards, caught four passes for another 36 yards and returned two kicks for 56 yards. North Texas (1-0) was playing its first game of the season because its season opener last week at Louisiana State was postponed by Hurricane Katrina. The win extends the Mean Green's 26-game streak over Sun Belt Conference opponents -- the longest conference winning streak in the country with its last league loss coming in 2001 against Louisiana-Monroe. Middle Tennessee (0-2) gained more total yards than North Texas -- 383 to 274 -- but had trouble with turnovers. Their only score came on a 6-yard run by Eugene Gross in the second quarter. Gross finished with 129 rushing yards. MTSU's quarterback Clint Marks completed 21 of 27 passes for 195 yards, but he was hurt by three interceptions, including one with 3:44 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Blue Raiders also lost two fumbles. North Texas quarterback completed 10 of 15 passes for 122 yards, but the Mean Green had no interceptions or fumbles.

Muts are snakebit against us. Meager was 10-15 no ints., not a bad night for a first start. We looked young, and are, according to George the third youngest 1-A team out there. A win is a win especially a win at Muts!!

I like the new helmets, the logo looks better than the script. The jersey color is the same as last year because they didn't have time to order the new color before they were due to the manufacturer. They will be different next year. I also like the Mean Green on the jerseys, larger and easier to read than the smallish North Texas on them last season.

Wow. Maybe a little let-down playing SMUt after beating OU? I bet TCU comes out after a halftime yelling and gets back up.

Pro: If we beat the Muts then we open 1-0 at home against Tulsa. That would help attendance since we haven't won our first game since 1996.

Nice win for Ohio, probably biggest in their history the announcers said. I still can't understand why Solich was let go by Nebraska.

Just received mine today, but missing a couple items; always something.

Plus, we wouldn't want to deprive ULM of being our homecoming fodder!

Some National press from the AP: North Texas game rescheduled for Oct. 29 at LSU September 9, 2005 BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- The LSU-North Texas football game, originally scheduled as the season opener for Sept. 3, has been rescheduled for Oct. 29 in Tiger Stadium. The postponement was forced by Hurricane Katrina. The shift came about after two games involving North Texas, Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisiana-Monroe were moved to different dates, LSU officials said Friday. An Oct. 29 game between North Texas and Louisiana-Monroe will be played on Nov. 19. The Louisiana-Monroe and Louisiana-Lafayette game scheduled for Nov. 19 will be played on Nov. 26. ``Our friends in the University of Louisiana System, particularly presidents Ray Authement of UL-Lafayette and Jim Cofer of ULM, as well as North Texas President Norval Pohl, have come to our aid in making this move possible,'' said LSU Chancellor Sean O'Keefe.

The La Tech game in Ruston will be an easy road trip. I expect no less than 5,000 NT fans (this means all of you!!). It starts at 3pm and is their homecoming game too!

I would guess ULL on Nov. 5

North Texas And LSU Reschedule Football Game For October 29 Courtesy: University of North Texas Release: 09/09/2005 DENTON, Texas – The University of North Texas and Louisiana State University, along with the cooperation of the University of Louisiana-Monroe and the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, have reached an agreement to reschedule their football game originally planned for Sept. 3. The game was postponed when Baton Rouge and LSU became staging grounds for the relief and recovery effort of Hurricane Katrina. The change will require North Texas to play at LSU on Oct. 29, when it was originally scheduled to host Louisiana-Monroe in Denton. The game against Louisiana-Monroe will now be played on Nov. 19, which was originally an open date for the Mean Green. “Because of the cooperation of our president Dr. Norval Pohl along with Dr. James Cofer at Louisiana-Monroe and Dr. Wayne Andrepont at Louisiana-Lafayette we were able to come to an amicable resolution with the administration at LSU,” Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said. “Bobby Staub at Louisiana-Monroe and David Walker at Louisiana-Lafayette were also very instrumental in the effort. I would also like to thank our head coach Darrell Dickey who has supported this process through a very difficult time for everyone.” With Louisiana-Monroe coming to Denton on Nov. 19, it was forced to reschedule its game with Louisiana-Lafayette, which will now be played on Nov. 26. North Texas will have to move its homecoming that was scheduled for the Oct. 29 game. “I am pleased that the three Sun Belt schools could come to the aid of LSU at a time when it faces many difficulties,”North Texas President Dr. Norval Pohl said. “I applaud the effort of Athletic Director Rick Villarreal and his counterparts to bring this to a workable solution.” Revised North Texas Football Schedule Sept. 10 at Middle Tennessee Sept. 17 Tulsa Sept. 24 at Kansas State Oct. 4 Troy (ESPN2) Oct. 15 at Florida International Oct. 22 at Louisiana Tech Oct. 29 at LSU Nov. 5 Louisiana-Lafayette Nov. 12 at Florida Atlantic Nov. 19 Louisiana-Monroe Nov. 26 Arkansas State
