I've got a buddy at law school with me who played under Jones. I'll just say that he didn't have anything kind to say about his football knowledge, which is why he left the program. DMN goes beyond getting on my nerves.

Ha, well now I'm kind of embarrassed. Whatever. It's badass. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/418060777882021065/

Searched "Mean Green logo." I don't know that it matters, but the default search engine at my office is Bing, so it might come up differently in Google. Should have just said that I made it...

San Antonio! Woo! So I'm guessing it'll be on The CW where they own it. Also, good news for DirecTV customers from out of town. According to Wikipedia, they reached an agreement hours before the previous one expired.

I texted Nick Williams right after I posted the question. They're not coming.

My biggest beef with this MAC business is that everyone seems to be jumping on a Ball State bandwagon that seems undeserved. Even the CBS rankings had them in the 30s last season. Sure, they went 10-3, but that's not necessarily hard to come by when you play E Michigan (2-10), W Michigan (1-11), Kent State (4-8), Miami (OH) (0-12), Army (3-9), Akron (5-7), and Virginia (2-10) and an FCS team. The other teams they played weren't spectacular either. Additionally they were beaten by a (decent) Ark St. team in the bowl game. But the biggest problem with them of all? UNT was the only other regular season opponent to beat them besides Northern Illinois! Take N Illinois from that conference and they're probably worse than the Sun Belt.

I'd spend way too much money there.

Yeah, I'd just like to point out that IF our band were to show up, we would absolutely embarrass the UT band. I'd pay just to watch that. Any word on if they're making the trek?

I see what you did there...

I can see it, but I think it'll be closer than that. I think we'll see some classic Coach Mac maneuvering throughout the game and challenge like we did at Georgia last year.

But seriously. It's always been a thorn in my side when I hear a student who says they don't feel like pay "that much" (i.e. anywhere from free-$40/ticket) to see UNT play. Hopefully the new kids who have only known the Dan McCarney era will have a greater sense of pride and show support.

These SMU fans are clearly delusional. That being said, I said every word they're saying in the 2007-2011 years. They had a nice end to their season and we lost some players, but we're still a 9-4 team with postseason experience. That doesn't bode well for them. And how great would it be if we came in there 1-0!

Anybody have a predictions thread yet, or do we usually wait for Vito's On the Record?

Go Astros!

A bunch of recent alumni in the Austin/San Antonio region coming with me. Very excited.
