Just Got Home

WOW!

What an atmosphere in the stands. I have never seen so many UNT fans that excited about a game from beginning to end (or atleast the last 2 minutes). From the 6th row looking back at our crowd, the alma mater during pre-game gave me chills. The band was AWSOME all game long (and if you doubt the pride in the band, then you missed them SING the words to the fight song before the game started.. I don't think ANYONE could do that when I was in the band 3-8 years ago).

For only having this team for half a year, Todd Dodge is a flippin' genious. Yes the defense was weak, Meager threw a bunch of BAD, BAD passes, and the penalties killed all of our drives in the first half, but they played a hell of a game.

I don't think I could be more proud of the football team or my alma mater as I was all game long tonight. I know we are going to have a tough season, but if this is Dodges work after only this long, then I will GLADLY accept a dirty loss to SMU.

Your right... and "The Journey is Just Beginning." I am so proud of our turn-out and our fans!

From the upper section of the UNT side, there was an outstanding turnout for the game. Also, when they showed a pan of the stadium, there was a wall of green. Very exciting.

Some positives from the game:

1. Meager threw for 601 (!!!) yards of offense.

2. When we fell behind in the third quarter, we didn't give up, and came back to tie the game.

3. North Texas fans are showing up in force to the games.

4. The band looked and sounded excellent tonight. They were very involved during the entire game, and did exactly what any good college band should do to help the crowd say in a game.

5. Dodge said "we're only going to get better."

6. Although there are still some problems on both offensive and defensive sides of the ball, we made improvements from last week.

Great to hear the nice thoughts. The future is just beginning. I guess it's a classic situation that we have to learn to walk before we can run. I think that maybe now we've got our baby steps out of the way.
