I think I found the officla Bama watching party for tonight. I may also go watch among the tu fans and watch their dispair. Anyone else up for some fun?

you want to see dispair...follow UNT football...it is nothing less than pathetic....UT on the other hand....sells 84,000 season tickets, has the largest athletic budget in the nation and draws 100,000 per game. They are winners regardless of how the game turns out...Texas football is a great experience as witnessed by many fans....I just wish I could say the same for UNT. Go Horns. (Tx exe)

Yes, being shoved into direct sunlight at 11am in late August to watch NT play tu is a great experience. Sorry, I refuse to follow the school that epitomizes everything that is WRONG with college sports.

Don't wear sunglasses to the game, or you might get banished to a dark, small forum no one visits as punishment. B)

well, probably not a good experience for NT....anyway, there are alot of problems with college football at this level....I don't like it....but UT was putting more fans in the stands in 1924 than UNT has ever put in the stands..Sad to say NT athletics has been poorly managed for a very long time.

I would be interested in knowing what you think is wrong with college sports?

Are you really asking this? How about the complete and utter lack of parity and the constant quest to continue to tip the scales in favor of the "haves"? Or how about the massive undertaking it is to climb to the top and overcome the the traditional powerhouse programs and their overly inflated budgets that seek to impede your progress? Maybe it is the fact the a complete lack of focus on academics.

Nope...nothing wrong here, move along.

Let me get it back on track. Which of you non Nat'l Championship Douches wants to get together and watch Barnaby Jones reruns tonight?

C'mon man. We're talking the big show, National Championship here. Remington Steele will kill Barnaby Jones tonight. Stephanie Zimbalist will run circles around Lee Meriwether. Not even close.

which equals trying to buy their way to a trophy, just like the yankees. they should be in this game every year with a $90 million budget. it's time for a college football budget cap.

Completely agree. I had people asking me all day if I was going to watch this game - my answer was that I don't follow professional football, only college. At the very most, a school should spend $50 million on their athletic program. We have scholarship limits at 85, why isn't there a budget limit? Texas has bought their way into this game and that is ok - because it doesn't break any rules... but that is not college football. It is professional.

Steph does crush Lee. I was hoping they could keep it close with their experience/wisdom.

      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.
