Wow. Sooo Apples to Oranges. Lets do a little comparison, shall we?

ULM over Bama 2007- This was a 6-6 Bama team that was a year away. This team lost to Miss St. Their most impressive wins were over Arkansas and Tennesse at home (both close games)

UCF over Bama - Probably one of the worst Bama teams in years. A 3-8 record, which included a 21-0 home loss to S. Miss.

N. Illinios over Bama - Another bad Bama team. 4-9 with a road loss to Hawaii.

La. Tech over Bama - This one was legit. Bama went on to win the SEC that year and lose to Michigan in overtime in the Orange Bowl.

This Bama team is more talented than any of the Bama teams mentioned above. A huge task facing the boys this weekend. But GMG!!!

I don't think he's trying to use apples-to-apples judgement to justify it could happen. The point was anything can happen. Nothing more.

I think the implication was that it has been done before. I'd love our chances against the Bama team that lost to UCF, but this ain't that team. Just trying to provide a little context to the anatomy. I would love to see the line previous to each of those games.

The writer already did your comparison for you:

For North Texas to pull this off they need some lifetime performances, no doubt. This 2009 Alabama teams isn't like the others. They are national title contenders. The 2007 Alabama team went 7-6. Anything less than 14-0 for this 2009 team won't do. The circumstances aren't the same, no doubt about it.

You're absolutely right. Other context is not necessary.

Truth be damned!!! :D

Must have read over the passage about the ULM upset. That one was at least over a bowl team (even if it was the Independance bowl). The ones that really shouldn't have been included were the UCF and N. Illinois games. Bad Bama teams

      My non UNT co worker that has no interest in football just sent me this reel. It’s a very cool story! I hope he sticks around and pushes Poffenbager. Iron sharpens iron.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      So it’s Jared right? He can make it happen. Meaning he has the power to assemble Talons, Maniacs and Green Brigade Leadership this month to plan for the creation and execution of the DATCU Energy Experience this fall. I would think our band would learn from other bands that out excite them. But they don’t. They don’t copy them, try offshoot efforts of them…I see nuances which can be cool but I’m talking about a full in game production transformation. Which needs to include: Pregame March. Pregame field sets. Stand music sets. Chant alignment at the quarters and kickoff. Big 3rd quarter close. There is power in numbers and their efforts could ignite the alumni side. We need coordinated chants like TSU’s eat em up eat em up go cats go or something like that. I also miss Fky Like An Eagle Go Green Go White… We used to have an awesome 3rd down Green Brigade set always played at the right time and only on that down. I’m not meaning to come down on the GB because this is a leadership focus. But the time is now. Season is over. All amazing performances have terrifically designed practices, rituals and coordinated forces behind them. Jared may even consider a Fan Council to help with idea generation, program research, connection support…give council members a 2 year term and they collaborate monthly with feedback to the athletic board regularly. That would be 6-7 Council meetings to spawn community, dormant alumni, and student engagement before opening day. Let’s get some things going then we can talk about that cool Rangerette type crew for the stands down the line. See TSU, Alabama, Auburn most programs in the SEC. First things first. GMG

      RECAP: No. 21 Memphis wins scrappy battle over North Texas

The game saw six lead changes and four ties, but the Tigers still remained ahead for more than 24 minutes. Ross Hodges’ team (10-4, 1-1 AAC) shot 43% from the field and 22% from beyond the arc. It also outrebounded Memphis 30-21 while racking up 15 forced turnovers, 12 offensive rebounds, 11 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks. Brenen Lorient (18), Moulaye Sissoko (17), Jasper Floyd (11) and Rondel Walker (10) scored double-figure points for the Mean Green. Here are some takeaways from Memphis’ AAC home opener. read more: https://bluffcitymedia.co/recap-no-21-memphis-wins-scrappy-battle-over-north-texas/?amp=1
