First, I envy you. Appreciate you fans that went to the game.

What was the crowd like? And our numbers compared to Rice?

On the radio, it often sounded like a home game. I think I heard their band one time. Our band sounded good and loud. And there seemed to be more noise from our fans most of the game.

For the streamers, how was the presentation? Dave and Hank were talking about the likelihood that some challenges would be hard to overturn because the game wasn't being presented in typical TV camera(s) fashion. Really bummed this wasn't a TV game. I would be watching it again right now.

Beyond the Green should be awesome this week.

The streamed kinda sucked. Really sucked in the first half. No audio and a few lags. One time the stream replayed their first or second touchdown like 30 times or froze.

It got better in the second half when they were able to get their audio working. But, it didn't show score or time so you really didn't know down and distance so well either.

Trust me, the stream presentation looked like a middle school football crew being filmed by a 6th grader. There was audio issues the first quarter, no score keeping/timer bar on the screen, and at times I couldn't even tell where the ball was because the zoom would be to far out. 

Aside from all that, we got a W. So a 7 dollar paid home video camera quality game was well worth it!

We had a big crowd almost outdrawing the owl fans. The pre party put on by the alumni association was awesome.  The band was great and it was wild to see a lot of new faces - primarily a Houston crowd.  

Definitely a top 10 game of all time since '86!  I lived through 77- 22 or something like that many years ago so this was some sweet revenge.

ps- the students traveled nicely and were really into the game!  See ya in Denton!

Our crowd made me so proud.  The tailgate was first class and well attended.  Tons of green everywhere.  I was blown away by everything.  It was prob 60/40 rice to unt fans.  If other teams traveled to Apogee like we just did to Rice, our crowds would look really good.  What a ride tonight.  I am exhausted

I actually thought there was more UNT fans. At least we were way louder than the Rice fans.

After the start there was no way I thought we would pull out a win. Proud of our team, you could tell on their faces after the game that they were pumped to win. 

Houston weather cooperated - the weather was quite pleasant in the second half. I hope all you guys enjoyed Houston and travel safely back to north Texas.

I watched the Rice broadcast- sounded as if our crowd caused problems for their offense.  I anticipate a pretty good increase in attendance after the win.  Apogee could be rocking next game.

Very happy with our crowd.  We absolutely outdid them in excitement and volume.

Gonna be a while before my voice recovers from leading the "North...Texas" chant and the "That's good for a Mean Green...First Down!"

Just got back from game and want to second the previous posters.  The UNT turnout was awesome!  I was so proud!  I thought we had more than them but who knows.  Sat with Hambone's family and had a blast!  I am so emotionally drained right now.  So happy for the team.  They really seemed to feed off our crowd!  Gunter's injury looked really bad.  Had an iced knee and they were checking the ankle too.  Sorry to see that.  The little guy Mason sure is a tough little son of a gun!  Huge heart!  Fearless!  We found a long ball game!  Robinson had a beautiful catch down the sideline.  Thought no chance he catches that then bam he does!  Wilson was banged up and really wanted to finish but wasn't looking real good.  I will have a big smile on my face for a week!

Everyone that went is making me hate myself even more for not going. Thanks. 

I streamed the game. It lagged a lot. The quality was not very good. It seemed to get better as the game went on. I listened to the radio broadcast as well. I actually turned the game to another game at the end of the 3rd because of how bad it lagged. I was ahead on the radio the entire time. It would let you catch up if you reloaded or logged off and back on. But would somehow fall back behind. I couldn't take it anymore so I switched games and kept listening. Still, hate myself for not going. 

I'm vowing here to make it to San Antone on the 29th Oct. GMG

I followed along in Twitter and ESPN game cast at work.  What a ride.  My employees thought I was crazy when we won.   They didn't know what I was watching and I think I might have been a bit loud!

 

great game!   Great win!  We have a coach, a team, a defense and what looks like a quarterback!   I couldn't be more excited!

On the last play did NT hold Rice on 4th and 2?

4th and inches I believe. Less than a half yard. Combs was the man to make first contact. 

 

OK, so I know it wasn't at the goal line, but let me be the first to call it: THE STAND II

Been to several loses in Houston. Today felt like another one coming in the first quarter.......was amazing. Lot of Green, vocal and excited and these guy's delivered! Long way to go but tonight was a giant step in the right direction....it's  coming!

Wow, what a day!  What a night!

I want to thank President Smatresk, Wren Baker, and Rob McInturf (Director of the Alumni Association) and everyone else responsible for the great tailgate event (free of charge!), and for getting a Green Brigade Pep Band, the Cheerleaders, and Dancers there (Curious, though, no Scrappy - hmmmm)

I want to thank the Green Brigade and Cheerleaders (and Emmitt!) for the great job they did!  For those who complain that the GB doesn't participate in the game - they certainly did today!

I want to thank everyone who came, from the Houston area, and from Denton & DFW, who turned this into a virtual North Texas home game.  I'm pretty sure we matched, if not outnumbered, the Rice fans.

And of course, I want to thank the team, and the coaching staff, for not giving up, for fighting for the win!  Special mention goes to Tommy Perry, who was a wild man on the sidelines!

Good seeing you there Ed. I am exhausted as well. Don't think I sat down for more than a few minutes the entire second half. One of my best 10 all time games for sure.

      Now 48-18. Honestly, this is about as frustrating as it can be for those of us that think the league deserves more respect. I get worried that the data/committee hangs their hats on these losses, rather than look at all the mid-P5 wins we accumulate. Then, when selection weekend rolls around and one or two of us Americans are on the bubble, we get knocked out of discussion in favor of some 0.500 P5 squad.

      Kinda OT, but can someone talk about what Hodge does from an x-and-os standpoint? Curious on both sides of the court. The past 5 years work has removed me from nerding out on the game as much as I used to. You don't see as many coaches from the Iba/Knight trees anymore, side effect being I don't know how these current coaches think about the game.

      Utah State (11/29/24)

      In terms of difficulty, I think this team will be closer to SDSU than it is to St. Bonaventure. This will be tough and would be a good win for us. Likely Q2 but a chance of bring Q1 at a neutral site. They have wins at Minnesota and home against Oregon St. ( Oregon St. just played Oregon to 3pts in a battle down the stretch. By all accounts, we got handled by Oregon.) This will have great test for our guards to stay under control. We have seen stretches where Drake and even Mason have struggled with TOs. We need to handle the pressure. We should have the numbers to stay fresh so they need to stay high focus high intensity when they are on the floor. Hoping Ian is feeling better today. We could use him for sure. The tallest they play is 6’9”(3x players) and have 2x 6’1” guards who play a lot of minutes. Would love to see Mason use his strength and exploit those smaller guards as well as Drake and Ian would also be quite a bit taller than them. Fish, Templin and Gateretse should find opportunities this game and maybe even some time for Isaac Davis to use his strength. I think Akanno might have another good game here as well. We need to have to them struggle against our defense and break out for easy baskets, make the game go our way rather than being bogged down attacking their set defense. Also, I think our bigs run the floor much better than their 6’9” 245lb center and we should be able to find some easy baskets if we break out quick like we like to do. I think it will be tough sledding initially until we can calm down and figure out their defensive pressure, then I think we see us separate mid 2nd half and we take the lead for good.
