I was very pleased to see the coordinated effort of the students. The Pit Crew seems to be catching on and growing in numbers. I hope to see it continue and GROW. Keep going guys.

My floor seats were moved this year. I was a little miffed to be separated from my buddies but who I sit by now are world class hecklers. Nothing personal or classless but boy can they get under the opponets skin. They even got an fu from one of the ASU players. They also happen to work within the athletic department. ph34r.gif

By the end of the season I should be well versed in my heckling skills.

they really made it????  anything interesting said....?

Its amazing what four bored college guys can do in a dollar store!!! LOL

The sportscaster seemed puzzled by them. I would love to know the story behind them, since I wasn't able to make it to Denton Saturday night.

Really...all there is to the story is...

Myself, Kevin (Gakusei), Cody (MrStrange62), and Justin (unt_92_fan) were REALLY bored on Friday afternoon and made a trip to the dollar store next to Hastings by the mall.

We were looking for the most wheels-off thing we could buy with a dollar...but gave up on that search when we happened across the puppets (we DID find a great transforming picture of Jesus and the Virgin Mary and some chili powder covered dried prunes, though). Well all pitched in a few bucks and bought 23 of them. We might get more (if we can secure funding...hint, hint.).

It was just one of those very "college" moments...where you buy 23 puppets for no other reason than to taunt opposing players.

If I remember correctly, ASU players were something like 4 for 10 at the line after the puppets debuted. smile.gif

yeah, i remember looking over and thinking "WTF????"

Seriously, if i had to shoot free throws looking into that, i'd probably just set the ball down and walk away. It'd creep me out too much.

I don't think you can have artificial noisemakers (thundersticks, kazoos), I saw a man and his son get told to put something away that looked like kazoos last Thursday.

I would take the Muppet Show intro song over Fraggle Rock anyday. biggrin.gif

The puppets need to stay, they are awesome. If there was a polar bear one, I may have to go get it and join yall. ph34r.gif

I think we'll cut out the first word of that from now on, but the rest works.

As far as wearing a polar bear costume, my wife is already embarassed enough of me when I make fun of the opposing team's fans, so it's not like that costume would hurt anything.

Hey!!!!

Guess What?????

We might have actually started our own, original idea, for a tradition

We didn't steal the idea from Tech or Duke or anyone else.

This is how great traditions start, I think we're on to something.

BRILLIANT!!! (Guiness)

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      NIL was a horrible idea that continues to destroy competition in sports I don't see how anyone blames this mess on the athletes. Sure they are going to do what is best for them, perfectly understandable. The NCAA should fight NIL, but apparently the leadership is a lot more interested in protecting the status quo and players than to listening to the fans.

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      I don’t believe Vito hates UNT. Why should he sugar-coat the truth in his articles? Just win will help. I bet Vito hates participation trophies. Good job Brett!

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      Vito is lost in sports writer hell. He lives by the standard that it is the job of sport writer to be neutral. I imagine he is as tired of covering NT as a lot of NT fans are tired of his coverage. He is lucky in a way that the DRC is still one of the few newspapers that still exist. He has won a lot of awards, not only because he is a competent writer; but there is little competition.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things.
