It was more than that, especially in the first half but then it seemed to stop. It seems most people still remember us as North Texas State.

Sloppy. It is usually older announcers that use it (50+); they grew up with us being called that. Plus, with other misquotes it seems we didn't exactly get ESPN's "A" team. <_<

That may be an understatement. I would guess the number of NTSU references were in the same vicinity as the statement "I played quarterback."

I don't have a clue...but I do have it recorded so I'll replay it. I turned the sound off and listened to George and Hank on the radio. It's much better for the nerves.

When I listened to the local radio in Muncie, they called us nothing but North Texas State. Although it makes them sound uninformed, if it's not intentional, I don't have a big problem with it. "North Texas Teachers' College" might be a different story.

Most of us through the years have made such a deal over our "NOT" being called NorTxSt that I'm sure it just had to be someone from SMU that called the BSU sports information folks and told them to SPREAD THE WORD about "NTSU" ! :rolleyes: PS: Of course...I merely jest. :P

I don't think they meant disrespect, but maybe they were in shock at the significant a**kicking Balls Tate got from the MG. GREAT GAME!!!

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
