Mixed feelings on this one.

1) Sour grapes. We got this treatment too. However, it is worse for THEM. They put in second team for second half. We had the first team the entire game -- going for it on fourth in the fourth.

2) I was sort of rooting for the Belt in all OOC games. Too too bad.

I would still trade for Babb anyday. He is a good QB.

Last year I went to the the Ragin Cajun game in LA-LA. I was so impressed with that CB named Adams from Dallas, that I kind of started second guessing our recruiting -- why didn't we get this guy? I don't even remember him being on the radar. He is a player. No doubt.

---Lafayette is rather much the same situation we were in last year excpt worse...... No doubt several of those players had grown up near New Orleans and lost their homes and perhaps have family still unaccounted for in the hurricane. Football was not the most important issue in their life today.

---The score was no surprise, unless UT called off the dogs it was going to be one-sided and they may have anyway. Monroe could have been in the same situation as well.

The title of this thread threw me for a loop. Why would we talk? Our margin of defeat was even bigger last year. It's mind-boggling the level these programs like Texas and A&M have reached. I even mention A&M because I happened to see a picture of their field the other day, which I had not seen in a long time, and they have added some kind of monstrous end zone deck and then the side decks already looked like something out of a science fiction movie.

People on here wonder about why people don't show up in big numbers at NT games, and I have to think it's just because there are all these zillions of people that only go to the 'big-league' games. NT could do things that would help to build some kind of big-league connection in more people's minds. They have done some things, but there is a lot more to do.

Speaking of big league, though, that was quite a statement by little ol' TCU today.

Things have been really bad in Laffayette this week. The whole city is over-run with not only refugees from flooded New Orleans, but also with thousands that have left the ares north of Lake Pontchartrain that haven't had power restored. Their basketball arena, the Cajundome, is being used as an emergengy medical evacuation site for sick and injured people being brought from New Orleans.

People are dying. Football certainly hasn't been a priority this week.

There could be all kinds of excuses for OU with a new QB, etc. but they have all the recruiting momentum and all those fans in that huge stadium and the gazillion dollar coaching staff, and TCU nonetheless went up there and hit em in the mouth. There's plenty of times I like to see TCU get stuffed but today I say good for them!

Yes. Several of the players last night have their families living with them in the dorms. Some just heard from parents and siblings 2 days ago. So far, thank God, I haven't heard of any player losing a family member.

Football was about 100th on the priority list this week in Lafayette.

That being said, we got smoked. The Coaching staff treated the game like a preseason game. Several Fr. and first year players got a lot of experience. The play book was not opened beyond page 2 probably.

2 of our top OL's didn't play while recovering from injuries, etc., etc.

We were no match physically. I'm just glad nobody got injured.

      Just for fun

      So, I was thinking. There’s a high probability Chandler is going to get poached next year, unfortunately, so I wanted to see your prediction on who our qb will be next year. Just because it’s an off week and this is all in fun, my ideal scenario is to keep Morris.(both of them) plus, if one of us turns out to be right we get bragging rights!! lol That being said, I could see a certain former Guyer qb, that has recently lost his starting job, come back home and spend a season with the new qb whisperer!! That’s right, Jackson Arnold. predict away! cheers fellas!!

      Thursday/Friday FBS/FCS Games - 10/3 and 10/4

      Houston started to look like Fritz ball tonight. Cougar now has 2 wins. Raise a toast CQ and savor the evening. Good win over Sonny. Fort Worth looks bored directionless. GMG

      The Answer is Marketing....

      We all love Grant. Think it was a typo. Tough name for GM and auto correct. I don’t know about the dormant alumni. They seem like lost causes to me. A buddy last weekend who never goes to a UNT game though a grad, was happy to send me pics from smu where he went to see his beloved Noles. No connection to FSU but he was there. He doesn’t disparage UNT but doesn’t care either. And the silly alums on sports radio apologize for speaking about UNT or giving an update about a G5 team. Spineless. Go after the young families moving into Denton. Make it the Mean Green Village Fairgrounds for 7 Saturdays a year with different themes. October fest, funnel cake fan fest, food drive game in November, summer sizzling barbecue bonanza for a September game. Have a Mariachi Mean Green crew like they do at Texas Rangers. The mariachis on mariachi Monday walk around the concourse in their Ranger red outfits smiling taking pictures with fans. Then they play a few sets on the big screen and boom you get a unique group of peeps you look forward to seeing. The coolest thing this season was all their close ups of their championship rings as they strung their instruments. Could be a nice link to our Denton Hispanic community. Do some fun things the community would come out to and get them into the stadium. Jared is doing some creative things this season. Like Oktoberfest and tickets and tee promotion. Sellout game push and more to come for November. Keep creating interesting unique and different because UNT definitely is creative unique and interesting. GMG

      Portland Watching Party?

      I don’t think you’re going to feel in danger or anything. I go out most evenings when I’m there. It just isn’t that lively since so much has been shuttered. If the weather is nice, though, it might be livelier than I’m thinking and I’m told the city has been taking an effort the last few months to clean up the sidewalks. The area around Powell’s books (which you definitely should go to) is usually pretty busy and touristy. There are several really good brewpubs nearby and a dive bar or two. Feel free to DM me if you want any recommendations.
