Our defense didn't give up too many points, but they struggled to get off the field all day. So yeah, they showed up. But they didn't show up like Army's defense. In the battle of the defenses, Army defense outplayed our defense, and they did it with 2-star talent. I'd take their DC over ours. As for our offense... they got embarrassed today. My biggest problem with these spread offenses is that they can't line up and play smash mouth football when you have to have 1 yard. Morris has to install a jumbo package.

Three weeks in a row on “national” TV, generally larger crowds, more money. Not a bad deal, when we start winning it will be nice. What a defense yesterday, if we can play like that the rest of the year things will definitely be looking up! I like the American.

Section 109 and 110 Army fans were great. Other than them, I am the loudest guy in that area. Mostly just loud, sometimes obnoxious. North Texas fans, every game, are less tolerant of my shenanigans on the whole, but I got props from both groups yesterday. ARMY fan was louder than our fan. I don't know if that is a reflection of them outnumbering us or that they had more to cheer about and/or louder than when our fans celebrations. Lots of North Texas fans wear/wore black. And lots of NT fans were also served in the Army. I find it very difficult to cheer against ARMY, and I suspect other NT fans feel the same way. The Mean Green on the field wore more black than the black knights, but looked good anyway. We had West Point family and friends at our tailgate and served fantastic food (thanks to the lasses). Overall, its about as much fun as I have had at any North Texas game we lost. And it was a great joy to cheer on @FirefightnRick as he was feted yesterday. Well done, FFR! GMG

#Hit6 was our campaign over a decade ago. It shouldn't be good enough for any of us today. We should have increased our expectations by now. UNT is a 5-4 team that started the season 5-1. Now UNT is below .500 in AAC play. We beat on bums. Until we actually step up and beat good teams, we can't be a good team. So, we will now go to a POS bowl and play a team from the Sun Belt, C-USA, or MAC. Wow, does that suck. Nobody wants to pay money to go see that. They wouldn't even pay money to drive to DATCU and watch this Mean Green team face a Top #25 Army program. So our 400,000 alums will continue to stay home while programs like Army make us visitors at DATCU. I hate it. I really do. But it won't change as long as our fans and donors continue to make excuses and accept the #Hit6 mentality.

We had numerous opportunities to win yesterday.
