Absolutely! First of all Game one, USA played us to a tie at USA. Went ahead 2-0 and then came back to tie us 3-3. They did a lot of things to disrupt our game. Second game, we do not match up well against either team, and both are very physical. FIU gave everyone fits this year, including our 1-0 win at home. WKU we do not match up well against period, in spite of our 4-3 win. Gotta get out of the first one, in order to get through to the second one, and then Denver should be waiting for us by virtue of most likely two very lopsided wins. We will need three of our very best games this whole year to get through.

GO MEAN GREEN! It should be UNT vs Denver in the final game...two best teams fighting it out once again. However, the SBC is a conference where any of the top 4 or so teams could win this thing. UNT will have to be "on top of their game" to make it to the finals, but I am SURE they will. GO MEAN GREEN...Congrats on a great season...now...FINISH IT!

Just one interesting observation. Anyone notice RV working the concessin stand last night? Not many D1 AD's would do that I'm betting. Awesome game last night though! Go Mean Green!
