First Game

[UNTexas]

The team looks better than they have in a long time. Some tough breaks against a great team but our team played hard. We should do well in conference. I am proud of them.

[unt_rocket09]

I concur. Never gave up. Have some swagger

[Mean Green Matt]

This is the closest we have played a ranked opponent since the 27-0 loss to Texas in 2003 or 2004...at least I think.

I am, too. It would have looked better with a score of 34 - 14........but LSU just wore us down at the end.

Best body bag game I've seen. Been watching every game since 2004.

LSU didn't get to try out their Penn State transfer QB. Kept their starter in for the entire game.

Class move by Miles not to run up the score though I think he would have had scoring it covered the spread...

Bolden is #3 but Rivers played several series.

Tell you what, turn the channel to ABC and see how Michigan is doing against a top SEC team and tell me we aren't improving!

[Proud North Texan]

I'm proud of them too... they need some confidence and they will rock

...only because we kept hurting Mettenberger.

[UNTLifer]

Yep, LSU played their starters the entire game. Very proud of our team, and they should be proud of the game they played.

[golfingomez]

We played (arguably)the best d-line in the country... Did we give up any sacks?

[THOR]

Nope

He didn't in 2008 when he had the chance to do so in almost identical field position/time on the clock.

Class guy...

He seems like a nice enough fellow, but honestly, it was just smart to take the knee at that time. Bad things can happen in the last few plays of a game.

They wouldn't have covered the spread even if they had tried to get in that last TD . . . they were favored by 43.

That was my point. Had he been 6 away from covering I can bet he wouldn't have taken the knee.

Gotcha--sorry, I'm still used to punctuation.
