• And the capper was the Texas Shankfest (6) in Denton on Saturday. North Texas beat Florida International 25-22 … in seven overtimes. How could a game that long not wind up in the 60s? When the kickers combine to miss eight field goals, five of them shorter than 40 yards.

Mean Green kicker Denis Hopovac (7) was 5-of-9 but made the winner, from 34 yards out. Golden Panthers kicker Dustin Rivest (8) was 3-of-7 on field goals, and his blocked point-after attempt earlier in the game proved FIU's undoing.

"I've been involved in a lot of games," FIU coach Don Strock said. "But none quite like that one."

Now that's my kind of publicity.

Where does the Texas Shankfest rank in comparison with, say, the Ice Bowl?

But, we did get a little good press in ESPN from Adam Rittenberg's column:

.......As usual, the Sun Belt is too close to call. Both Arkansas State and Middle Tennessee are 2-0, but always-dangerous North Texas isn't far behind......

I'm surprised he didn't mention ULL after their win over Houston.
