Never mind that Snyder makes millions, himself.

Does a school have to be limited to just one rivalry? I mean Notre Dame has several (USC, Michigan State, Navy, Purdue, Boston College, Stanford, Army and PIttsburgh) and until A&M bolted for the SEC, Texas had A&M and Oklahoma. I personally consider SMU a rival just because of proximity. I don't care that SMU already has one with TCU. I still consider them our "closest" rival. Now, if you were to say we could only have one "main" rival, well that's different point entirely.

Dang, you guys are making me re-think my 7-5 prediction!! I wanna say 8-4 or even 9-3 just because of that but I'm going to remain conservative and keep my 7-5. But just know that I definitely think this team is capable of running the table. While I don't see that happening, I'd be less surprised than those outside our program would be.

Will our beatdown of the Longhorns be carried live on Mean Green All-Access? I ask because I have DirecTV and they don't carry the Longhorn Network.

I'm honestly hoping for 7-5 or better. Yes, we lost a lot of starters from last season, but it's not like we're replacing every one of them with inexperienced players. As has been pointed out, aside from QB, Coach Mac did a lot of rotating our guys in and out of games last season to keep everyone fresh and get them some experience at the same time. I think that's going to give us depth this year and help this team be a little more well-conditioned than last year. I also believe that Coach Mac's attitude and ability to push our guys brings a lot of intangibles to the table for us. It's partly on us as fans to show up even better than we did last season and fill Apogee a few times this season. Man, I can't wait for kickoff on August 30th. It cannot get here soon enough. Beat Texsa, Hit 6, Hit30k, Fill Apogee and GO MEAN GREEN!!!

I became a student in 2013. I suffered through a season that could have seen us win 10-11 only to win 9. /sarcasm I'm kidding, I couldn't have been any more proud of that 2013 team! While they set the bar really high for me, I do have realistic expectations and hope that this season is equally as fun to take part in as last season was. There's no reason we shouldn't contend for the Conference title again this year. But before conference play starts, let's beat Texsa and Shmuu!!!

Dude, the Blue Angels put on a much better show than the Thunderbirds. But that is a pretty sweet uniform idea.

Ross, welcome! I did many jumps off the top bunk of my bed top turnbuckle with my brothers impersonating your dad and your uncles growing up. And nothing shut up a pesky little brother like threatening to give him the Iron Claw. So awesome! And I agree with Stan R -- none of us would be the guys we are today without the early WWF or (in my opinion) the even more-awesome WCCW. My dad, my brothers and I would tune in every Saturday night and watch what went down at the Sportatorium. It's an honor to have you here, Ross.

I kind of like that.

Sign me up for two XLs, please!

That revised tag line is a good one!

Look, I grew up a Texas fan and still have some appreciation for them, but I'd buy the heck out of that "Beat Texsa" shirt. I'll get one for every member of my family. Just make sure someone makes on in a size 2T for my toddler son!

That seals the deal. I definitely want it now, because I want to have some fun with that if it happens! I'd be like, "I dunno man . . . your security company sounds really good, but mine comes with UNT season tickets. If you can beat that and get me a voucher for two beers at each game I think we have a deal."

Read through and didn't see Jimmerson's name taken. Is Jimmerson still on the board? If so, I'll adopt him! **EDIT** just re-checked and he's not taken. So, I officially adopt the double-deuce, Antoinne Jimmerson!!

I love that Jub was the first one to jump all over them for it!!

Man, that's inexcusable. Seriously, there are only two explanations as to why North Texas was not mentioned and both of them are bad. They either forgot about us, which is laughable because we were the most successful college team in the Metroplex and won the Bowl literally played about five miles from their headquarters!! Or, they deliberately left us off, which is equally asinine. I hope Jalen Adams puts up better numbers than every name listed in that freaking article.

I'm sorry but I refuse to be intimidated by a team that calls themselves "The Ponies." Seriously, above is the type of mental image I get in my head every time I hear them call themselves that. I'd distance SO FAR from that nickname if I went to SMU. Bahahahaha, I couldn't even say that last sentence with a straight face. I'd NEVER go to SMU, except to watch UNT beat them senseless in person next season.

Scintilla . . . sounds like a stinky Mexican dish. Clearly he's making a comment about peoples' political commentary following a plate of bad Mexican food.

Nah, I mostly talk sports and all that implies.

So what if a 34 year-old college student tweets one of his college classmates. That makes him a douchebag? *Ishouldprobablychangemynametoquasioldguystudent*

That goal was pretty freakin' sweet. Just came about 20 minutes later than we would have liked. Here's hoping for one more! EDIT -- DANG, that was close

Not bad. Just need to convince the Mrs. Franchise how bady I want need these chairs.

I'll use the hell out of that thing!
