I don't miss hearing "Eye of the Tiger" over and over. "Fly Like an Eagle" is a masterpiece in comparison.

At least Patrick Cobbs is in the NFL as well as DeAngelo Williams.

From the looks of the camera shots it seemed like Memphis was playing a home game. Looked like we were vastly outnumbered :thumbsd:

Not significantly. North Texas fans showed up in good numbers at each of our NO Bowl opportunities.

How could that be the very first play run?

The first play in the video, which is NT with 3rd and 5. DD gives up and runs it to the short side of the field for no gain and Bazaldua hammers a 47 yard FG that would have been good from 57. Why don't you take a shot down the field? Then again, DD probably figured they had watched hours of film on us and were expecting a draw!

Our passing game and more importantly our down field passing game mainly worked off play action in Coach Dickey's offense. 3rd and 5 isn't a strong down for that. That's basically no mans land for us.

It was a little crazy on the field watching a draw on 3rd and long but I will be damned if it didn't work every now and then.

I look back on that and remember how close we were to a 10 win season it just hurts. Still one of the previous posts was absolutely right, the North Texas faithful came out in good numbers everytime for the bowl game. Cant wait to finally go back this year! Or maybe next.....but soon!

Booger, Awasom, Cardwell, Spencer, and Pearl all played at some level of pro football off of that defense.

Hurd and Don McGee too if I remember right.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
