I was wondering what the vibe was on campus today. Obviously no one has seen a winning season in awhile (never saw one during my 4 years) but is it any different than in years past? Bstnsports? Mean Green Matt?

I have not physically been on campus today, but I have talked to a lot of people the last couple days. It was a good close game, but losing the way we usually do, in heartbreak fashion, really takes a toll on people. That being said, if we can take care of business and come back to Fouts with a 2-2 record, It seems that people are ready to come back out in force for the Louisiana-Lafeyette game, and with good weather (not so freakin hot) we may see just as big a student crowd than we saw against Rice. Close games are not going to cut it anymore.

After these 5+ years of mediocrity, and (almost) all the students gone from the 2004 New Orleans Bowl Year, it takes WINS, and only WINS to get the students to come out past the 1st game of the year. Every year the students come out for the first one to see whats up. Last year Ohio was heartbreak, and this year the same thing, but A LOT of people believe in this team.

This loss to Rice was bad, but its nothing that wins against Army and FAU can't fix. Look for a big and rowdy crowd if we come back home 2-2!

You know, leaving the game that's exactly what I thought. It felt so similar to the Ohio game last year. All the excitement of the new season, several moments during the game when we were in control, and then... a heartbreaking loss.

Uhhh, I think we differ on our definition of mediocrity. 10-52 in the last 5 years is beyond pathetic. It screams, "We Don't Belong at This Level"...

I was trying to maintain an overall slightly upbeat feel to the post :D , because despite being as pathetic as we have been the last 5 years, the students are poised and ready to jump on board, we just need to string a couple of wins together to bring them back after that heartbreaking loss.

Yeah, the mood is pretty bad. Many I overheard were making jokes about the football team. The vibe is that the atmosphere was fun. But, our team is a joke. It is understandable that happens with the product we have had over the years.

It isn't the greatest.

Agree with Matt 100%...but also heard several time in the last two days "same old north Texas football...cant beat anyone" and it aggravates me to no end....WE MUST WIN AND WE MUST DO IT NOW!

Nobody is lying when they say that.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      Minnesota with a 3rd straight Quad 1 win. Our win in their house is looking better every game. Baring a collapse, Memphis is all but guaranteed a spot. Prior to their loss at Temple, some bracket experts had them as a 4 seed. They're 5-2 in Quad 1 games and 10-3 in Quad 1 and 2 with wins against Missouri, UConn, Michigan State, Clemson, Ole Miss, all of which are in the top 35 of NET. The resume is too strong unless they pretty much lose out. Cougar guy is wrong, though. Independent bracket experts with good track records of guessing the field still have UNT as being in contention. It's a longshot but not dead.

      TX State to the PAC 2?

      It’s interesting because I know the perception of the new PAC and AAC is that the PAC will be stronger, but where would Texas State rather go? It seems like AAC for a variety of reasons. I’m not convinced the new PAC is better than the AAC. UNLV and New Mexico holding back in the MWC, with the Northern Illinois and GCU ads have the future PAC in a bit of limbo. They have to keep performing or they will fall back fast. The SBC and AAC currently are the more stable forces, hence a certain level of power and leverage lives there. To me the PAC must break the bank to get Memphis or they are not going to lift on takeoff. GMG

      Join the Infantry in Houston - Tuesday, 2/11 at 8pm

      Rob Lanier, former SMU head coach, found out what the Infantry could do last February at Moody Coliseum. So when he moved over to Rice, inside sources suggest he slipped Tim Spaghetti some cash to make sure his home game against UNT would be on a weeknight this season. But I say, "Too bad, Rob! You can't escape us!" If you're in Houston, or are retired and can make the trip, or want to use a couple of half days like I did, join us at the terrible Tudor Fieldhouse on Tuesday, 2/11 at 8 p.m. The game has the later start because it'll be on ESPNU as the "west coast game." There are just under a hundred seats left behind our bench which would be group-rated at $25. For the second straight year I want to sell the section out. What'll make it better is the sea of green will be on national TV. It'll be different without Scott Screamin' Pera on the Rice bench, but we'll still have plenty to taunt Lanier about. Like how his son has to follow him around to maintain a D1 scholarship. And don't forget the UNT Dallas debacle. Here's what we did last year. We bought about 70 tickets, plus whatever the team was allotted, and the local alumni who bought on their own. If you are interested in joining our group for the game, message me. I've got pending communication out with the Houston alumni chapter to see if they will plan to do anything before the game like last year.

      12,400 announced at Providence today, who came into the game with a record of 9-10. Providence is about the same distance to Boston as Denton is to Dallas.
