Dear Mean Green Family,

I urge everyone to fly the American Flag Saturday at our Tailgate Parties. Let's never forget the meaning that 9-11 will have on our Nation. It is also a grand time to honor OUR first responsders like FireFightinRick, Emmitt, FireFightingJoey and all the others that help keep our city, state and Country Safe.

Let's make it happen Mean Green Family!

i go back and forth on these types of remembrances. why must we only do something to mark the occasion of something terrible/great(america's response)? why can't we always fly the flag that we are proud of? to me, flying or doing something on one day a year doesn't mean much. if it was that important of an event, the dedication/remembrance would go on everyday.

Am I to assume you do nothing special on your anniversary, Christmas or Easter? These too are things that could be "celebrated every day." Things are celebrated more heavily on select days because it gives everyone a chance, and reminder, to remember certain events as a whole.

you would be correct. i don't do anything more on those days than i would any other day. gifts/love/remembrance/thought is done throughout the year and at various times. just because it's christmas doesn't mean i give gifts and celebrate with family. just because it's my anniversary, doesn't mean i buy my wife something for that day. i guess i'm a bit different.

i understand why having a certain day to do something as a whole is a way for everyone to come together and remember/celebrate something. i just don't think it should be held on just one day.

+1...excellent comments from Emmitt here folks. I certainly understand Radiogreen's point, but things like Pearl Harbor Day, D-Day, 9-11, etc. hold special places in the hearts and minds of the nation. I am extremely proud to be a citizen of this the greatest nation on the face of the earth EVERY DAY, but I do believe some days just deserve a bit of "extra" acknowledgement. September 11th is just one of those days for me!

So what's the protocol. Half mast?

Not unless you are taking a boat to the stadium. :P

If you have a flag pole where you can display it at half staff do so. I believe the President will order it to be flown at half staff this Saturday, though a quick search on the Whitehouse web site didn't show where he has ordered it yet. If you do not have a flag pole where you can display it at half staff (like the small poles attached to houses) then fly it as you normally would.

      #Hit6?

      Before the season, my measurement of whether UNT had gotten better under Eric Morris was seven wins. I don't want to settle for six. Especially after getting to five as quickly as we did.

      Quick Thoughts: Army Shuts Down North Texas

      Indeed, it seemed at times like North Texas wanted to out-Army the Black Knights. The Mean Green attempted a minimal number of deep shots, settling instead for short throws that resulted in a bare 5.8 yards/pass. They also went for it 5 separate times on fourth down, converting 3 attempts in impressive fashion. In taking what Army’s defense gave them, their first drive went a whopping *18* plays in just under seven minutes. That was great in concept, but as noted, Army only gave up a field goal off that first drive. The Black Knights then countered with their own 9-play drive that went for a touchdown, followed by a 14-play drive that netted no points but ate up damn-near the rest of the first half. When the Mean Green’s first possession of the second half went three-and-out, it meant that they’d held the ball for all of 38 seconds in the third quarter. Their offense sat on the sidelines for over thirty minutes of real time! North Texas did a nice job countering Army’s triple-option, forcing an interception, a fumble, and a punt. They kept Army’s explosive plays in check, making the Black Knights earn it one play at a time. However, they ultimately gave up 4.6 yards/carry. That final tally didn’t do a lot to get Army off the field. The Black Knights wound up going an outstanding 9/14 on third down and 3/3 on fourth down. With that, they held the ball for almost 42 minutes total. Time of possession might not be the be-all, end-all of college football, but when the other team is holding the ball, and they’re also scoring touchdowns, it becomes a problem. North Texas couldn’t get off the field on defense, and they also couldn’t score. By comparison, Army’s defense forced exactly one punt, but they stood tall in the red zone three times, once with an amazing goal line stand that started at their own 1-yard-line and twice by generating interceptions from something like 10 yards out. read more: https://www.asforfootball.com/2024/11/10/quick-thoughts-army-shuts-down-north-texas/
