When I got home yesteday I immediatly changed out of my NT polo that I wore all day and into an NT t-shirt. I decided that it wasnt enough so I went upstairs and got some NT gear for both my son and daughter. Still unsatisfied I put on an NT hat and socks. I started to feel a little better. my wife called and asked me to peel some potatoes and mix them with onions to bake. when she got home I demanded some green kool aid, she obliged (lemon aid with green food coloring). she wondered aloud why the green food coloring was right in front of the spice cabinet. Her question was answered when she opended the foil packet and found green potatoes as our side dish for dinner. After a long internal argument, I have concluded that it was the socks. That is what pushed us over the edge.

Speaking of batshit crazy theories and superstitions about why we won...

I started dating my current girlfriend right before the first game of the Dodge era. She was at SMU, she was at WKU in 2007, she came to all our home games, Rice, and ULM with us last year.

She was on vacation visiting family in Los Angeles yesterday. Without her watching or listening... We won.

Thinking back, she fell asleep last year while we watched the tape delay of the WKU game victory (we had avoided hearing/reading the score because we watched Baylor's homecoming earlier in the day and wanted to enjoy the NT game unspoiled) and didn't see us win.

The year before, we left the WKU game at halftime because of the weather and went home to listen to the end on the radio. She fell asleep... And we came back to win. She wasn't at the ULM game that year, either.

I've determined that she's a jinx on this football team. Next week, I'm going to tie her up and lock her in the closet until the game is over. If she can't see it or hear it... I think we can win it.

GOOOOOO MEAN GREEEEEEEEENNNN!!!!!!

Tasty, this is a matter of national security. Don't chance this to simple rope alone. I'd suggest chloroform.

At the end of the day, how much can we credit Mrs. Quoner's new Ball State cheer. I really wish there was a could way to convey the hand signal, but the best hint I can give is that it involves minding the step children.

TTG, you are going to have to kill her.

Sure, you'll miss her, but think of the sweet, sweet basking in that BCS championship.

Cerebus, look behind you. Down at your feet.

Yep, you crossed the line.

Actually, I'm taking credit for the win. You see, yesterday was my mother-in-law's birthday.

Sept. 12 was my dad's birthday - so a win then is assured.

Sept. 19 is my cousin's birthday - so we are good.

Sept. 26 is my niece's birthday - good again.

Oct. 3 is an open week (good thing - no relatives with birthdays that day - bullet dodged!)

Oct. 10 is my sister's birthday.

By then, the team should be able to hold their own - which is good since I don't have any other relatives' birthdays for a while to help them out for the rest of the season!

Just for added measure, I will continue to wear the new UA shirt I just bought each game day and fly the new Mean Green car flag that I purchased for this year.

I think we're being a little excessive here.

All that is really required is to hit her over the head with a large skillet each Saturday, then tie her up and lock her in the closet until the game is over.

If, and only if, that doesn't work should we recommend death therapy.

This is why I like Adler, he is always the voice of reason.

How medieval.

I meant blind and deafen her. Why must we always kill?

Fine, fine.

Let's have a vote then.

Should we

1) kill,

2) blind,

3) hit in the head with the frying pan

the jinx?

Everyone gets one vote, except TTG, he's too emotionally connected.

Where I grew up, that was called courting. Might just confuse her.

I had Indian food for lunch yesterday (Kbob N' Curry, excellent place to eat). Right before kickoff, seriously, I'm talking minutes before kickoff, a massive gut wrneching stomach shattering, indian food induced pain hit me. I sprinted to the restroom, Cam Montgomery 3&25 1st down run-style, knocking over chairs & my sons dump trucks on my way to the porcelain god. I proceeded to release a massive form that took on a shape of an ant hill, that was to my surprise, green. I knew we were going to win. Kbob & Curry every Saturday for lunch until we lose!!!

It's a good thing you said something before she comes home next Tuesday... I've really taken this "don't question or second-guess the moderators" policy to heart.

I'm sure she'll thank you, too.

Keep in mind, if she dies, I'll probably have to throw a toaster in the shower next time the opportunity presents itself.

Then Tasty and I can finally be together.

So, the MGN will have two corpses to clean up after.

Since I've never seen a UNT win, I'm taking partial credit for this as well since I was all cooped up in Finance class last night. I didn't know the results until well after the game had ended. The little kiosk computers in the business buildings had a yahoo sports curse on them so I couldn't even check the score during the break.

I was having my wife's coworkers (SEC, Big 10 and Big 12 die-hards) over for a watching party, risky, I know. I work in my home office 98% of the time, so I rarely find the desire to shave or put on a polo shirt. I figured yesterday I would get cleaned up some for the new friends. I shaved my face, used conditioner in my hair, and put on clean clothes and a UNT polo. I decided the polo just did "feel" right and didn't want to jinx the Mean Green, so I put on a long sleeve t-shirt and my Sow cap. The look was not too "grown up", so I decided the sweat stained, misshaped, and smelly cap needed to be washed. So I washed it in the dishwasher (that is how I have heard it is done, yes?).

Later in the evening, Mrs Denver commented that she was embarrassed by my cap. Why? The SoW "logo got some green bleed through" on it.. I said that I washed it, and the new friends looked shocked, they claimed I had washed the luck out. I said, "I hope I washed the bad luck out." It felt right. I instantly knew we would win.

I demand the "pie" option.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      This thread has some loser talk that rivals some of the legendary loser-talk threads on this board. I wanted Seth to beat UTSA even if it meant more Seth. I wanted them to win the CUSA title game even if it meant more. Do we want to win or to be right on the internet? I want them to win. I don't like mixing up Seth LIttrell's tenure and Eric Morris'. Morris, the admin, and the roster etc all made a mistake in trying to keep the good from the old and turn what was there into a winning team. Morris said he made that mistake. He had to change the entire roster. That had to wait a year. So we are essentially in year one. I've written a ton that the roster is filled with youth and underclassman. I see a lot of others have made this same point in this thread. It is true. Some of us gave money 15 years ago in the hopes of this or that but that doesn't mean you can turn a handful of freshman into AAC champions. Quinton Hammonds, Brian Nelson, Landon Sides, Wyatt Young, Mercer, even McGill are all contributors. It goes on and on. The dudes making freshman mistakes were well, freshman. The upperclassmen guys we needed to do some leading and carry things? Well Chandler Morris did that and a couple of DLmen, but a lot of others were hurt. Some just didn't produce. The foundations for next year begin in this recruiting cycle. Morris will discuss the signings on Dec 4 -- we'll know if he has some solid incoming guys. We know he can bring in talent. I like that they improved the DL for this season -- it was worse last year -- but they need more. They need more OL, too. They need more playmakers all along the defensive side. I put some of that on the last coaching staff. Seth had missed hard on defense for about 5 years. He rotated through a bunch of dudes with no luck. We had a patchwork defense with which Bennett did the best he could. The defense has been bad. Morris has made a move to change that. Whoever comes in -- I think we'll see a hire fairly quickly these next couple weeks -- will have a summer to find guys to plug in the holes -- DL, Linebacker, rush end. Is that enough? Dunno. Morris will be looking for experienced, play-making WRs I can tell you that. A Damon Ward who doesn't have the yips and can stay on the field.

      NIL alone doesn’t win. I honestly don’t know much about his coaching, but I have to think he’s pretty good. Benching your returning starter QB in favor of a redshirt freshman was a bold move, but it proved to be the correct one.

      Underrated win in my opinion. They're 3-4 but have just 1 bad loss. I say bad because I don't know much about Norfolk State. Otherwise UC Davis has the 11th ranked scorer in the country and could make some noise come conference play.

      My point is you will see more head coaches leave G5 teams for P5 coordinator gigs. In fact, I could see this happening with Morris. It used to be that a G5 head coaching posting would be more valuable to a coach and his family. I believe NIL and the portal has changed this.
