What I Don't Want To See Happen On Saturday

[Harry]

1). The offense lines up on the line appears that they are about to hike the ball and then they turn to the sidelines with that "what the frag do we do now" look.

2). ESPNU Announcer: "And on this first possession of the game, the UNT kick returner is taking a major chance running the ball 4 yards deep of the end zone..."

3). ESPNU Announcer: "Nice 2-yard curl route completion on third down for North Texas but looks like we'll need to bring out the chains..."

4). "Nice play there by the North Texas State linebacker...."

5). A halftime promo for UNT that focuses on "The Power of Ideas" and does not include any pictures of the new stadium!!!!

6) "And that's the 3rd UNT Dallas FG attempt blocked today"

[TheColonyEagle]

7) Todd Dodge call off the dogs up 3 TDs in the 4th qtr.

[EastTexasMG]

8) Kerona Henderson starting at RB

[SteaminWillieBeamin]

9) The commercial played during halftime includes: "UNT: The Leading University of the DFW Area"

I saw in the new temp presidents email today that he used that phrase. Maybe he thought it was original.

8) Kerona Henderson starting at RB

LOL!

[NT80]

10) Tubby Coleman waiting to return a punt after halftime and we have the momentum.

11) Putting Thompson in at QB for just the last 4 plays of the game...and he drives the field for a TD.

[LongJim]

"Pass is picked off by Clemson! He's got clear sailing to the end zone..."

[emmitt01]

12) "North Texas in the red zone for the first time today. Wait, is that Riley Dodge in at quarterback?"

[LongJim]

"Dadgum, the Tigers are really gouging the North Texas defensive line, Cletus. They have been all day. The Mean Green just can't seem to come up with a stop when they need it. Delbert Jeffries has had all day in the pocket--when he's had to pass."

"First time I've seen this UNT team, Abner. And let me tell you, they really need some more beef across the front. This Clemson ground attack has got to be wearing them down. More from Death Valley after a word from Levi Garrett..."

[jdennis82]

i think it's official...this board has jumped the shark.

This is why people hate you.

I don't want to see Parker shred the secondary. I understand he'll get his, but I hope he doesn't just decimate us.

I don't want to see the offense score only single digits.

I don't want to see more than 1 turnover on offense (I really don't want to see any, but against this team, 1 is excusable).

I don't want to see kicking woes.

I don't want to see more than 1 long kick/punt return due to poor ST coverage (again, I don't want to see any, but 1 is excusable). No scores for Clemson's kick/punt return teams!

I don't want to see any injuries.

I don't want to hear ESPNU announcers call us "North Texas State", or any other misnomer.

Lastly, and most importantly, whatever the score, I don't want to see the Mean Green playing below 100% effort at any point in the game.

If we don't see any of these things, we'll keep this game close, if not have a chance to win.

IT'S ANOTHER MEAN GREEN.....................missed field goal! (Oh, wait a minute, the referee now says it was good! HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN, MEAN GREEN FANS!

Seriously, once our young field goal kicker learns to kick field goals w/o a tee (which they do in TX HS FB), I think we will be fine (or at least better than what we've been lateley which has been.......not so good).

GMG!

I'm trying to care (whoever you are) but I just can't quite get there.

Oh yeah, 8 wins.

I don't want to hear "they're missing alot of tackles in the open field"...unless it's being said of Clemson defenders! Sure tackling will be key on those big WRs.

[Eagle-96]

"UNT comes out of their timeout at their own 17. Flag on the play and it's another delay of game for 5 yards."

"3rd and 15 from the UNT 20 and there's another zone read for a loss of 2."

"10:28 to go in the first half and the Clemson 3rd string looks pretty tired out there."

[NT03]

Pam Ward " that brings up 4th & long for the Mean Green... oh what is this ? "

Danny Kannel "And there goes a UNT fan onto the field...Oh wait he is naked ! Folks we have a steaker on the field...looks like he has a firefighter helmet on .."

"UNT lining up for a 4th & inches at their own 14, Nathan Tune in the shotgun awaiting the snap"

[Tigerfan4life]

"Pass is picked off by Clemson! He's got clear sailing to the end zone..."

I would expect to hear this at least once maybe more. McDaniel was in first place most of the year last year in INTs. I think he finished with 8 or 9. and Hall another DB had about 6.

[EagleGreen]

And Clemson wins 42-3. Ouch. I hope we upset the hell out of those guys. Can an eagle take down a tiger? I think so.

"Looks like it's going to be another shlong season for the Mean Green fans."

"Basketball season has been canceled."

You think it will be better than the next 14 weeks?
