Lithuania downed Argentina 104-85...maybe I was wrong about wanting to play the Lithuanians. The semifinals with world ranking in parentheses are: USA (2) vs. Lithuania (6), and Serbia (5) vs. Turkey (18).

The students will not leave at halftime if the game is within reach...which it should be. My attendance prediction: 27,637.

For attendance, and because it would be a QUALITY win for smu if they could pull it off. We were 104 spots ahead of yall in year ending RPI last year...smu does not play UNT because they don't have the balls to, not because there would be no benefit if they won.

Way to go USA! I sure hope we get Lithuania instead of Argentina in the semifinals.

Arrogance: When only you know you're better than all the rest.

I did not know Coach K was in the military...I suppose I was not all that thorough with his wikipedia page. As far as the basketball, we are insanely athletic, and look pretty good considering that Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, and Dwayne Wade all found reasons not to represent their country this summer. USA by 7...4:54 left 3rd quarter.

I have liked Coack K since he said that winning an olympic gold medal was more important to him than a national championship with Duke. His explanation was (paraphrased) that representing your country was as good as it gets. I still hate Duke though...

Is anyone else watching the FIBA World Championship? It't not as cool as the world cup, but still pretty fun to root for the USA! The next USA game is tomorrow morning at 10:00am vs. Russia. This is the quarterfinals. Spain, one of only several teams in the world the experts say had a chance of beating us was eliminated by Serbia this morning. Argentina and host Turkey are both still in it though. What is really cool about the team though is that a lot of the big NBA stars are not on it (Lebron, Dwade, Kobe...), and they are still doing very well. Go USA!

...I guess the red kool-aid is even stronger than the green kind...

This road trip can't get over soon enough...

Ole Miss and Cal both have their name in script on their helmets, and Florida has "gators" in script on their helmets. All 3 are big programs. As for UNT, I like them how they are now. If our helmets changed though, for me it would be a toss up between the eagle logo, and an interlocking "NT". I don't think the helmets we have right now say "small time" though.

37-34 North Texas!

I actually showed the 1988 video to my girlfriend last night after a questionable call in the boise game...needless to say she was disgusted. There are some interesting comments underneath the video on the youtube website...including one ut fan that basically said texas was bad back then, so if UNT had won it would not have been anything to be proud of. I guess he forgot we were 1-AA...

When they say 6 weeks recovery, do they mean back to 100% in 6 weeks, or back to training in 6 weeks?

If we can't recruit a replacement for Thompson by 2013 we have bigger problems than just the QB position.

Haha, great choice for the username, Adam, +1! As far as tailgating goes, I'll be kind of roaming this weekend. Shoot me a text though, I'll be tailgating in the green lot for a bit if you want to stop by.

I've always been a fan of the white on white! As far as black goes, I think it should stay as an accent color...

It was great meeting you Kram1! Thanks to you, and UNTflyer, and everyone else who helped put it on! Looking forward to the next watching party for the Army Game. Go Mean Green!

This thread title confuses me... But GMG!

A little revenge would be nice after what happened in 2008...

First college football game was the UNT home opener in 1989. I don't remember who we played, I was only 8 months old...

Definitely a good result. UNM hit the post with literally 2 seconds left in 2OT, so it darn near turned into a loss.

1-1 Final.

Heading to 2OT. It will end as a tie if no one scores.

Headed to overtime tied 1-1. NM dominated possession in the second half until the last couple minutes when we had 2 good scoring chances.
