Cougar King

You're just jealous that you're too irrelevant to have a thread named after you. I was talking about my time at UNT when other UNT students were rooting for the Whorns. That "long ago home game" was barely 2 years ago at Fouts. I have mentioned UH's piss poor attendance from the 90s and early 2000s. HOWEVER, unlike you guys, we don't live in the past. We got off our asses and did something about it. Here's the typical GMG poster in a nutshell: "I remember when we beat Texas Tech...in 1968." "SMU caused 9/11, The Great Depression, Hurricane Katrina, and they denied us from the SWC 30 years ago." "Lance Dunbar wasn't drafted #1 overall? It's an SMU conspiracy!!!1111" "UTSA is sooo below us, even though they have better support than we do." "What? Our quarterback is wearing his hat backwards?! I'm writing a formal complaint to the AD, I am so embarrassed to be a UNT alumnus." "Our Greeks brought couches to tailgate! I am writing an article about it. I would rather have a stadium with 5k classy fans than have a sold out stadium filled with "classless" students!" "Our students put M'fn in the Fight Song! I am putting my degree away and I am writing an article complaining about it!" Did I cover everything?

Lol you know its a Sun Belt game when you hear the cheerleaders voices on the TV.

On a serious note, I think you guys will enjoy our concessions, chik fil a, dippin dots and lots and lots of beer. We have St.Arnold's Oktoberfest at our stadium. I'm going to finally get me some St. A's...

Of course, I forgot that just making the championship game instead of winning it all is good enough for NTSU. This is why you guys will always have a losers mentality.

Here's some more "Run n Shoot is a graduate course at UH" "Our players only get 4 years of eligibility" "We may be a UT knockoff but its better than UH" "We Mean Green."

You guys are getting way ahead of yourselves. You have to get people to go to the games first, before you talk about what to sing as a crowd.

You need to read what I wrote. I said the Rangers are going to choke again. They choked back to back world series and IF they make it back there again this year, they will choke again. Typical NTSU fan.

No. You schedule 1 BCS opponent that you gear up for, 1 decent team AQ or Non-AQ and then a bunch of patsies and run the table. We did it, Boise did it, Hawaii did it, TCU did it, Utah did it and as of right now Ohio U and La Tech are doing it.

We jacked up our ticket prices due to high demand, so if you buy a ticket on our athletic site for 35 bucks, it will come out to around 50 with taxes and all that good stuff added to it. You may be able to buy one cheaper on stubhub or somebody on this site. http://ev6.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventInfo?ticketCode=GS%3AHOUSTON%3AF12%3AFB03%3A&linkID=houston&shopperContext=&pc=&caller=&appCode=&groupCode=FSG1&cgc= As for the game. If the UNT secondary do not cover the receivers and let Piland get hot. The game will get out of hand fast, I'm going to say that the Coogs take this one 38-21.

I don't ever back down. If we lose, I'll eat my crow without complaint. Will you eat yours?

The fact that an outsider like me was able to become a hall of fame candidate in less than 100 posts and being around less than a week meas that I'm either really good at this or the people on GMG have really bad taste. Anyway, UNT better get off of the tracks because they are going to get hit by the kickoff train on Saturday!

Whatever, the Rangers are going to choke again for the 3rd year in a row. (IF they make it back to the World Series)

Where's the 80s and 90s at?

It's funny how the Texans were winning consistently last year too and the Rockets began their season yet we were still putting butts in seats. Not once did we ever complain about things being "too hard" or the city being "filled with many other things to do". UNT whines and says there is no other way, UH dusts themselves off and makes their own way.

Talk football or gtfo.

And what makes you think this? What will be your excuse if the Eagles Mean Green lose?

Not only that, but Thompson would also need to try and get things going through the air. The key to the game for North Texas, is to keep the Houston O off the field. When Houston's no huddle starts clicking, the D will be gassed after a while and it will be difficult to keep up with the points being scored.

Astros, Texans, Rockets

I recall this D forcing numerous turnovers onUCLA and we shut out Rice until garbage time, so your argument is invalid. Nonetheless, we are talking about UNT not Rice, not UCLA, not Texas State. (They actually do not like being called TSU, they prefer TXST) You keep hyping up this defense. This defense has not faced a high-powered offense yet. Don't even bring up Troy, because not only do they not run a high-tempo offense like UH but to compare the two schools in general is an insult.

I wouldn't be on this site if it didn't.

So...let's get back on the original topic of football. I say our offense is too fast, too strong, too powerful. Piland has too many weapons. Thompson won't be able to move the ball on the Cougar Defense.

As I recall, we went up to Stillwater and beat a Top 5 Okie Lite team and then the following week at The Rob, we sent a ranked Texas Tech team back home to Lubbock in tears. Oh, I can't forget going up to Starkville and beating SEC Mississippi State. All in a span of 5 games. Nice try though. UNT wouldn't have went 12-0 with our "weak" schedule from last year. We blew you guys out in your own home opener and then you got wrecked by Tulsa. We went up to Tulsa and humiliated them on TV beating them by 32 points. Again, nice try.

Lol ok. Being 10-0, #11 in the nation with a Heisman candidate and future NFL quarterback breaking every NCAA career record in passing had nothing to do with it.

Shedding the body bag games is the first step to shedding a loser mentality. If anybody on the UH board was to talk about being satisfied with losing by less than 21 points to somebody like LSU, they would get driven off of the board. Part of being a winner is thinking like one, stop accepting mediocrity. Accept the best and nothing less.

Well, if nobody gives a crap about UH football, yet we still sell out our stadium, get College Gameday to come to our campus to showcase our game and get people to pay 300 bucks for a game ticket. Then I hate to see what people think about UNT football...
