As a live band played "Billie Jean" in the background, students danced, mingled, bought NT shirts and other memorabilia or waited in line for free food or drinks during the pep rally Friday night in Clark Park, across the street from Clark Hall.

NT's pep rallies will be held at Clark Park rather than Fouts Field on Fridays before home games. San Antonio senior Alan Ross, Student Government Association president, said the hopes are more students will attend since they will not have to travel as far across campus.

"I'm really glad they changed the pep rally from the stadium to here," said Alex Ocheltree, Spring junior. "It brings out more students since it's at the center of the campus. The more students at the game, the more school spirit there will be."

SGA, the NT bookstore, Wells Fargo bank and the Residence Hall Association were among the organizations that hosted the pep rally. Ross said the intent of the pep rally was to raise school spirit and to promote attendance at the football games.

"We want a better community," said Chris Brown, Fort Worth senior and speaker of the SGA Senate. "It's about having a good time and representing our school. This will probably be the best game of the year. It's been a long time coming. Whenever we do play them [southern Methodist University], it's a big deal. It gives us something to root about."

Students and faculty alike were excited about the game.

"We should do very well," said Chuck Fuller, assistant vice president for Business Services. "They've always thought they were too good for us. Tomorrow, we're going to prove we're too good for them."

His expectation proved correct when NT defeated SMU 24-6. The pep rally was the first part of the weekend activities. With the game being the next day, more and more students were wearing their green. For a number of students, this was going to be their first college football game.

"I'm pimped up," said Dallas freshman Marccus Hendrix. "The music's straight. The food's good. I'm really excited. This will be my first college home game. I'm going to be painted green and white. I bleed green. That's what it's going to be."

I went last night. Sad to say it wasn't nearly as crowded as the week before, but I still had a good time. DD got on stage for a minute and tried to pump up the students before giving the mic to Johnny Quinn and possibly Brandon Monroe? I can't remember exactly. Anyway, everyone should come out to the next one!

You're right. There were too many things happening to get a huge crowd. And the band sucked.

But a lot of students came out and hung out for a while.

We want more Alumni and people from the community to start showing up to these. The kinks are being worked out, and it will go through some growing pains, but even this week had hundreds of students at a mean green pep rally.

It's a start!

The next one isn't for another month, but you guys need to come out to the last two. Cheer on your team and get some free food.

With a little time, FN@CP can be something huge that everybody comes to. No better time to start than now.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      as mentioned in another thread, three pretty easy wins last night (11/19) for Rice, Tulane and Charlotte. Evansville lost 80-30 to Ohio State. UNI won. not all, but the most interesting games coming up: tonight (11/20) - not a ton...Tulsa host UALR (who already blew out UTSA), but if Tulsa is any good should take care of. 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next) ; Oregon State host Oregon ; Houston Christian v. Rice ; ECU v. Jacksonville State (3 day tourney...would play Toledo or Stetson next) 11/22 - Utah State v. Iowa and St. Louis v. Wichita State (same venue, but not a tourney) ; McNeese v. Illinois State and UAB v. Longwood (same side of bracket) ; Temple v. Florida State ; ECU/FAU game 2 of 3 11/23 - Temple v. UMASS 11/24 - High Point v. Missouri State (3 day tourney...would play ODU or Boston College next) there will be more games 11/23 and 11/24 as some of these tournaments shake out, but definitely some interesting games starting tomorrow

      Texas Wesleyan (11/21/24)

      Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete. The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.

      Back to the Frisco Bowl Again🤮🤮

      I don’t mind a local bowl game that is inexpensive to attend in person. Now, if we were having a 9 or 10-win season and really deserved something better that would be different. But it is not. Frisco is fine for this season.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      when I wrote that I had forgotten Utah State was a possible/likely opponent, but ya, that's definitely something my nerd-brain is already into tracking. I'll confidently say though that McNeese is our toughest opponent so far. Minnesota struggled in the first half again last night against against Cleveland State, a team that lost by 48 at Michigan and currently sits 195 in KenPom

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      He had play designs of wide receiver screens you could run 10 different ways.
