As a not so casual observer, I'm very disappointed for Nathan that after all his work and dedication and surely some disappointments along the way...that he has to go thru THIS setback. He is one cool customer back in the pocket, always shows class and control.

That being said, I'm very relieved that we have a guy like Thompson to step in and keep things moving. We have not always had that "luxury" as I recall; there was always alot of doubt and fear concerning the backups. Right now we have 2 really great go-to guys who seem to be able to respond at the drop of a hat and perform at a high level immediately. This part doesnt scare me.

NOW, that being said....we will surely see Riley back at QB more often. Will we get to use his great abilities to keep things crazy and exciting and drive defenses insane ???? Or will he be have to take the snap and step up 2 paces and put his helmet where the center's butt used to be ??? This is what scares me.

QB depth scares the hell out of me. An injury to Thompson would be catostrophic for this team, as they would then have oft-injured Riley and an unproven Baine to lead the offense.

      Iconic Denton Restaurant?

      2007-2010 I miss Hooyahs close to campus. Those big ass burritos were great. Crooked crust, Roosters, and Denton Co Hamburgers were my go to places.

      Parking

      We were later than usual. We usually like to arrive 2 hours before kickoff, but we didn't arrive at the NT Blvd exit until 30 minutes before kickoff. If not for the Hub Club entrance, we would have missed the first quarter, too. The Northbound I35E North Texas Blvd exit is a poorly managed part that must be resolved. UNT should have made 100 plastic yard signs that say "Blue Lot for Pass Holders ONLY. No Passes for Sale" and stick 50 of them 5-10 feet apart down the left and right sides of the access road between the NT Blvd offramp and NT Blvd. For every five cars that turned left across the bridge and pulled up to turn into the south blue lot entrance, one went through. After half-time, someone can pull the hypothetical signs out of the ground and save them for the next game. One digital road sign was posted, but it didn't mention the Blue Lot needing already purchased passes. The message it did have about the Orange Lot was contrived and difficult to decipher. I didn't know the Brown Lot existed till this past weekend. It's an easily accessible lot rarely used on most game days. To be candid, I spend too much money as it is to get my complementary Blue Lot pass (I think if MGSF correctly accounted for my Basketball contributions, I should probably have a Black Lot pass). If they oversold the Blue Lot and I could not find a spot, I'd be very frustrated. The many open spots probably also have something to do with a lot of people parking in the gravel/mulch RV spots. I guess there are just not that many people who want to pony up more money than 2 Hub Club tix cost to park an RV. Regarding exiting, the Denton/UNT Police at one point had enough cones to keep you from leaving the southern Blue lot entrance and cutting across the southbound access road traffic to try to get on the Southbound I35E entrance at NT Blvd. They should start doing that again. Yes, I will have to go through the light at McCormick (I think that's the next street) and get on one entrance ramp further, but it will keep traffic moving better. I hate to say it, but we won't have any of these issues again this season, even with a win this weekend at UTSA.

      #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.
