I love the Flying Worm, but only as a throwback. I wouldn’t want for it to be our official logo again.

I’m a fan of the celebration, but not so much a fan of doing it when the interception cost us 20+ yards🤣🤣

The way the game played out was very frustrating, but I said before the game that we needed to score a minimum of 42 (which we essentially did) and give up 17 or less (which the defense did). Also, the offense gave SFA good field position twice at the 11 and 31, and SFA only got 10 points out of it which was encouraging. I thought the offense was really bad, yet we scored 35. I feel like a game with 4 turnovers and 15 penalties is an anomaly. I can easily see us going the rest of the season without a 4 turnover or 15 penalty game, much less both in the same game. Injuries are worrisome. I know people say “next man up” and I don’t disagree, but you can’t pretend that starting a 3rd stingers doesn’t make you a weaker team, especially if you are doing that at multiple positions.

Well done.

Our best look???? Maybe 2nd best behind the all-white?

I think 55-17 is about right, but I don’t want to steal someone’s score so I’ll say… UNT: 52-14 I feel like anything less than 42-17 is going to be a letdown. Attendance: 24,231

This is true NIL, so I’m all for it as an opportunity for the athletes. Not something I’d buy, but probably something I would have bought for my son when he was younger.

Tech and Wyoming would both appear to be very winnable games after Week 1.

Ummmm. The SOW debuted (on helmets anyway) in 2013. And we didn’t do the big wing until 2016. This is according to helmethistory.com

I said we have different definitions of similar, but maybe similar is the wrong word. I think both helmets come from the same concept…oversized wings on the helmet. I realize that ours is clearly an enlarged SOW. I just don’t think anyone would have ever had the idea to enlarge the SOW and put it on the helmet if Oregon hadn’t had their’s first.

You could have used one with the same colors. I agree that the one you posted looks nothing like ours. A partial wing that begins at the facemask and extends kind of up and back. We just have a different definition of similar I guess.

Oops. My bad. Thanks for the correction. D3 and NAIA seem to be comparable as far as athletics go.

“They’re expecting a sellout there at North Texas…” Does he mean SFA is selling out their allotted tickets? Haha

Pretty sure Oregon was the first to use the winged helmet that looks very similar to what we wore on Saturday.

Also the same as Austin College in Sherman.

Thanks for posting this. When I saw the graphic during the game tonight about Fla. St. odds of making the playoffs, it made me wonder about UNT’s odds.

I don’t think it’s a matter of one person is right and the other is wrong. I think it’s funny to make a blanket statement that our offense is awesome because we scored 52 and our defense is trash because we gave up 38 without considering the opponent’s offense or defense. Based on their performances on Saturday, I don’t think Wyoming or Tech will tell us much about our offense. They both gave up over 500 yards and almost 50 points. Now, if Wyoming goes for 38 I’ll definitely agree that our defense is trash. They had 52 yards of total offense until their last drive of the game. Honestly, if SFA scores 21+ I’ll be pretty concerned with the defense. My point being, who you score 52 against matters, as does who you give up 38 against.

All in Week 1. How can it get any better than those two catches?

I happen to know one school who’s fans wouldn’t have the patience for it🤣🤣🤣

Not if you score more than 38.

You (and others) don’t seem to be giving any credit or blame to USA. We score 52 so our offense is awesome. We give up 38 so our defense is trash. Is it not possible that we scored 52 because USA’s defense is pathetic and gave up 38 because their offense is really good. The reality is somewhere in the middle of those extremes.

I guess we should move up in the state of Texas poll.😁

Exactly!

I don’t disagree, but I don’t care if we give up 38 points a game as long we score 39. The reality is that with our fast paced offense, the opposing team will have the ball a lot. Plus, as mentioned, USA got quite a few yards when we were up and trying to keep the ball in front of us.
