This Thursday Johnny Jones' boys play ULL for what will be win #20. That's four straight years of twenty wins. The team is currently tied for the west division #1 spot and a win Thursday and then against ULM to end the season could give us the regular season title, assuring a NIT bid, and the #1 seed heading into the SBC tourney. Oh yeah, and it's the last time this group of seniors will play at the pit. In short they have EARNED your attendance. So brave the traffic people.

Feel free to move this as technically it's not football related. Then again if Todd Dodge were on the verge of a fourth straight winning season we'd tailgate all day for this game and take the day off work. And SBC basketball isn't even rated as the worst conference in America.

I posted in another thread already but we will not be there because it's my baby girl's 7th birthday and she has a 7:45pm soccer game that night. Bummer right? About the soccer game part, not her birthday. :)

We totally wish we could be there!

Cheer for us! I know we will be cheering the boys on no matter where we are!

Good to see JJ promoting this himself. He doesn't have to, of course, but this is the way he can help elevate his recruiting. More butts in the seats = better recruits. He's just taking matters into his own hands now. And who better than him to deliver the message. Coming from RV it only goes so far. This is a true emotional appeal that I think could be quite effective.

Oh and I'm going to be there for the game as well. This will make my second home game this year. Isn't easy for me with the kids and our current situation, but I WILL make this game.

No it is not a bummer! You won't remember in a few years anything about the UNT game...you will not even recall if UNT won or lost, BUT, I'll bet you donuts to dollars that you AND your daughter will remember those soccer games...PRICELESS!

You get an "excused absence" for this game....some things just are not to be missed...memories made! Trust me on this one...

:) Oh, I would recall if we won or not. I pretty much remember all wins that I attend, especially when it's an important game like this BUT like you said memories made.

It is very true that there will be lots of greeks. I have talked to at least one guy I know in every fraternity telling them it would be a great brotherhood event. My fraternity (Pi Kappa Alpha) is actually doing an alumni event at the game. I tried to convince them to wear green, but I think most will be wearing Garnet...at least they will be there. I will be wearing green! :D

The usual group of parents and girlfriend will be there with me!

What the hell is Garnet?? If it is a shade of pink, it's still pink.

Don't Church it up, Son!

If there is one thing I wish would come back from "my day" at NT it's the green Greek shirts. Every chapter had a green shirt that simply said "UNT Greek" and then had their chapter letters on it. Looked great at games.

I wouldn't sweat it. For every two parts pink they bring, just bring one part stink to even it out.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
