Ah, what a great time it was to be a North Texas fan at the New Orleans Bowl in 2002. Andrew Smith was QB and we learned from the loss the year before what we needed to do this time around. Great fun and the weather was perfect during that day. Then Cincy left CUSA for the Big East and BCS and UNT went south to wherever it is we are now. :mellow:

Very depressing that we could piss away the momentum we once had.

Was anyone going to beat florida tonight? I mean this is rough to watch. Not sure tcu would have wanted any part of the gator tonight. The Cinci unis are cool though.

So my second prediction is that the tide will ROOOOOOOLLLLL over the horns next week. I mean if FL lost to Bama you do the math. It only takes one preparation but the Horns are getting the wrong team just like Cincy did tonight.

I cannot see Bama overlooking and not being fired up for TX especially after the Ute loss last year. I feel like that devastating loss from last year sat in their gut for a full year and they will unleash on the orange. It will be much like Florida rolling over the bearcats - an unstoppable train.

I mean they are chanting "urban meyer" to have something to do!

Cotton Bowl becomes next BCS game and MWC gets auto bid - prediction number 203 of the New Year:)

Call me crazy, but I've been predicting the Tide steamrolls the whorns by 3 TD's.

I don't care for rematches, but a Bama Florida rematch for the big marble could have been really fun. Roll a shed out onto the field at halftime and out pops Leach for a halftime interview and now you have a truly delicious event.

I find bowl season boring but I enjoyed watching old powers like Penn State, FSU and Ohio State turn back the hands of time in this brand new decade.

TCU should be playing Florida. The Horned Frogs were jobbed by the BCS by being stuck in a game with another non-AQ school. If they win, it's no big deal - if they lose, they'll be brushed off as pretenders. Either way, the AQs protected themselves from another potential Utah-Alabama/Boise State-Oklahoma.

Don't forget Utah-Pitt.

I like the Cincinatti uniforms. I don't usually go for all thw stripes and trim, but I think these uniforms look cool.

How did they lose to us and go on to be so good....and we win and get so bad ?

They immediately got rid of their coach and brought a new coaching staff and we got rid of our only coach to led us to a bowl win.

You mean after going down the tubes, and not taking advantage of any momentum we once had.

Cincy's alumni wasn't really all that bad. Yeah they didn't care much for football but they had a great following for their mens basketball program. So when you start winning consistently in football then those basketball boosters will also donate to football along with gaining new ones. I think NT is turning the tide slowly but surely but somehow we need to find a way to expedite the process. All we need is vision which I think we have now and we just need to whore up and do whatever it takes to rise.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).

      Any way to see the replay?

      Fire the OC. The defense showed up.

      3 times within 15 yards and walking away with 0 points. There is nothing about that that is on the defense. Emmitt is right.
