We finished 4th in the West last year and wound up being a 3pt. shot away from going to the NCAA's. It's not a death knell.

Too many variables... I'm with CMJ.

Braves fan since the "worst to first" season here.

Yep. Go take a look at his rivals page from 2010. 76th rated RB in his class nationally.

I truly believe that I could possibly trot out there and pick up maybe 5 yards/carry or so if I just ran behind whichever side of the line Cam is on. The dude is going to be a road grader.

I believe that player is already on the roster, be-it a 2 headed monster: Jamaine Wilhite & Zac Whitfield. We'll also have Byrd to be a "thunder" type of back as well.

This is all well and good, but perception is reality sir. As far as perception goes: TCU is a football powerhouse school and may as well have 50K students enrolled, an entire metroplex area frothing at the mouth to watch them play, and money out the wazoo. UNT is a football also-ran school and may as well have 4K students enrolled, a message board of die-hard fans and an apathetic remainder fan base, and $0. Facts are not necessary when trying to reach the paying customers. This is where we are right now. Now, if we win... perception changes!

You think WKU is wondering if they let the wrong coach go?

Yep. I was at Rudy's in Denton for the FIU game. They were streaming ESPN3 and the feed was pretty terrible. I haven't heard if it's going on again? If so, I'd be interested...

I thought Kinne wasn't expected to play?

Tulsa is hard to gauge. So is UNT. Tulsa is missing a few key cogs. UNT seems to be pretty close to full strength (outside of Phillips). Tulsa coming off a 10 win season, and, well, we all know where UNT finished last season... But, both teams are breaking in new coaching staffs. I think the game will be fairly close... I just don't see UNT leaving with the W this time. North Texas: 24 Tulsa: 31

I was once in your shoes. Then, a 2002 27-0 loss to the Longhorns made me realize I loved the Mean Green more than my childhood favorite team. Your moment will come...

Marshall went hard every single time. The last kick, he wound up injured. But, as he was wincing in pain, they taped him up heavily... he was ready to go back in. If all of our walk-ons are as tough as this dude, I'm happy to have them!

Honest question: I'm sure the wireless mics are tested and re-tested every single game. Yet, for the opening 2 games, they have not been working correctly. Would we really be interested in having a retractable net that runs a possibility of not working when needed? I'm sure an opposing kicker would love nothing more than to nail a kick right into an unprotected jumbotron and cause damage. Having a permanent net eliminates this possibility. I sit in 205 and it is hardly noticable. But a black spot (or several) where the screen was damaged would certainly be noticed.

Not to mention, a band that sounds good is usually the one that is comfortable and happy. I'd rather be entertained by good music than what the band is wearing.

A freshman QB starting? Excellent! Players to watch: RB-Dunbar & Hamilton form a nice 1-2 punch. WR/KR-Brelan Chancellor MLB-Zach Orr, our OLB's are pretty good too. P-Will Atteberry Hey, do you know "TulsaFanInTexas"? If so, could you please send him over?

I think you two are looking at two different scenarios: The wayward fan who is obviously too old (or not old enough) to be a student, should be tolerated. Hey, something drew this person to the game. Maybe, just maybe, the Mean Green can win this person over! A student at UNT repping another school is just plain wrong. EDIT: The second point above should apply to undergrads... Basically, OldGuyStudent, you're special.

Aha! So this is the guy who jinxed us to a near loss! A message to PhormerPhrog: NEVER RETURN TO APOGEE UNLESS YOU INTEND ON STAYING THE ENTIRE GAME!

I totally agree with this, but I'm pretty sure everyone on THIS SITE are playing Devil's advocate. It's people who have never heard of this site who are the perpetrators. No one here needs to be told to cherish UNT over TX/OU or the Rangers.

Thanks to the Mike Modano thread for the idea. I think we've even done something like this before, but of course it turned into, "you whippersnappers putting Patrick Cobbs in your Mt. Rushmore never saw Abner Haynes, so how would you know?", or, "Jordan Case over Scott Hall? Are you crazy?". Well, here's an idea: You have 4 spots to add the best players across all sports DURING YOUR TIME AT UNT. Put your graduation year, and list the top 4 players. Add a few "honorable mentions" if you'd like. 2005:I was on the 5 year plan Brandon Kennedy - SBC Player of the decade. I can only imagine that his dominance on the D-Line was what Mean Joe's was like. Chris Davis - This guy filled up the stat sheet night after night. He didn't have much help, but I witnessed several games where he kept us in it, if not won it, single-handedly. Marilyn Marin - She dominated Sun Belt soccer from her freshman year on. I would wager that many of her records will take decades to break (if ever). Patrick Cobbs - NT's All-time rushing record (for now) & NCAA rushing champ. Honorable Mention: Jalie Mitchell, Corina Marginas, Scott Hall, Johnny Quinn

Keep in mind Trent Richardson/Eddie Lacy/Marquis Maze and a number of other starters were in the game in the 4th quarter. The dogs were not called off until the back to back long TD's from Richardson/Lacy early in the 4th.

It seemed like every single 3rd down, Sarge blew by his man and was chasing down the QB from behind... oftentimes right into AK's neighborhood. The DL (especially the DE's) are starting to change my mind. This group should only get better throughout the year.

Probably came to the realization that, similar to football, he believed the Indiana band was better than UNT, but... Great to put a face with a name this weekend.

Does this mean we should expect Sun Belt Conference refs next week in Tulsa?

Kudos to Mo! It was fun to watch him.
