Am I the only one who gets pissed off by that kind of a segue on the front page of the DMN? It sounds as if we are a lower division team going against a higher division team. Can you imagine someone referring to UT-Austin as "pesky" when going against a higher ranked team? Not happy about Vito's presentation of the game. Sensitive or not, I think I'll cancel my subscription. About time anyway.

I was thinking the same thing. Some of his other quotes from this year's team:

Mean Green Blog: "The Mean Green hung with one of the top teams in the country until the Wildcats superior talent took over..." Really? I didn't think it was that much better.

Mean Green Blog: "The other notable talk from today’s call was about Western Kentucky’s win over Kentucky (think UNT beating Texas or Texas A&M) ..." Kentucky is far from a UT or A&M.

There were a few others that stood out to me, but I am not finding them at the moment.

HAHAHAHAHAHA......

Vito is so funny sometimes.

It's more like UNT beating Indiana... which UNT did last year...

I think he's trying to insinuate that WKU beating KU is a very big deal within the state of Kentucky. Like UNT beating A&M or Texas would be in Texas... Problem is, KY is a basketball state, so until WKU beats KU in basketball, people won't really care. It would be like UNT beating Texas A&M in basketball. Big deal for UNT fans, kinda bad news for A&M fans. Not so huge for the rest of the state.

The other quote, that I can't find at this time, was regarding the LSU game and how we were physically manhandled by the Tigers. Funny, I seem to recall more LSU players being helped off the field than any of our players. He referenced Cantly and Sarge, yet they are only out for a couple of days.

Fixed. (I know I'm being anal, but my family has UK ties. KU is Kansas. I have family ties there too.)

Vito always writes with this type of slant. Ever noticed every injury is the end of the world for UNT? Everyone has some type of agenda...he seems to make sure and let everyone know he will show no bias towards UNT.

Yeah, it's kind of all about the culture change that Mac is pushing which is referenced to in another thread. No more of this little guy talk other than the Little Guys Movers ad. We're big guys, and we need to start acting that way in every respect. The quicker we do, the quicker the outsiders will become believers.

I can promise you the players now believe they belong with the big boys. And quite honestly that is all that matters and Vito can write whatever he wants. I will give him a little credit bc he is high Mac when he writes his colomns. He for some reason thinks we barely have a shot to get to 6-6...even though this is the damn sunbelt and we have shown more grit and toughness than I've seen since I've been watching mean green football
