Bean will get the receivers killed with thoses passes

[Rudy]

And the overthrow on 3rd down. Wasted that defensive effort.

Thompson playing iron man ball today?

If potential recruits think a teams uni’ & helmets are important (& I’ve read they do)  why is UNT stuck on the stick figure “N T” helmet?  That helmet doesn’t represent most of those who attend our home games & I’d bet not that many on this forum anymore.  Maybe I’m wrong, but don’t we need to move on from some of our past?  (Change my mind, oldtimers). 😊

GMG!

Well, Jim, if you are not an oldtimer you should be getting close.  But, as a 1957 graduate (originally Class of '52) I believe that I qualify.  Four years in the Navy and a change of majors account for the five year gap.

I have to agree that the tall, skinny NT is probably my least favorite helmet design.  I didn't even like it in the Joe Greene era but at least the jerseys and pants were more of that era and it seemed to fit to some degree.  It's not that I don't like the superimposed 'NT' it's just that it doesn't go with that style helmet.  I do like superimposed 'NTs'...for example the alumni association and the Rod Rust era circular look good to me.  I'm not overwhelmed with the diving eagle but it's as good as we have for now.  And let's not do the throwback every game.  Maybe homecoming but that should be all.

LOL at Thompson playing WR in the bowl game, what a bad ass being able to play both positions as a true freshman.

Bad miss by Bean, hope we have plans to use his legs today.

Best uniforms of the season were the SMU game unis.  Need to see those more IMHO.  

[El Paso Eagle]

here we go

[Rudy]

Here we go with the bad penalties.

[Tom McKrackin]

Personal foul!

[Rudy]

Fell for the trick play.  TD App St.

[El Paso Eagle]

The embarrassment begins 

[Tom McKrackin]

Flea flicker!

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Undisciplined and garbage. Why did I expect our defense to be any better for this game?

[Tom McKrackin]

[El Paso Eagle]

Their WR throws a nicer ball than our QB

[BillySee58]

Johnson and Sanders once again caught in no man’s land. 2 straight seasons of that, hope we can avoid making it 3.

[CMJ]

If this was an opponent I thought we could beat, a 7-0 deficit this early would be an annoyed shrug of the shoulders.  Right now it feels like the roof is gonna cave in.

[MattDamon23]

[ntmeangreen11]

Of course the defense is folding early but I will say that on the play action pass the refs missed a blatant hold on Nixon.

[El Paso Eagle]

I hope thing turn out well today. I do not expect us to win, or even keep it close. I told myself I would not get upset when we made stupid plays. 

That didn't last long

I can understand being beat because of good play but it seems like every time they just look lost.

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

Frustrating because we know it's coming. We know our defense is garbage and we know we are going to get killed but I still get riled up when stuff like this happens. 

[Marty]

Healthy dose of Addaway.
