Fox Sports Production

[Green Otaku]

Just wanted to say that these guys did an outstanding job covering our game. The commentators were on point and knowledgeable, I really enjoyed their analysis of plays and how they stayed focused on the game. I have seen a lot of espn broadcasts and the announcers always get distracted and start talking about another game like Alabama vs. A&M, or during half time just mention our score and talk about nothing besides the other game. Other things I liked; the digital first down and scrimmage lines, the highlight reels just like the big teams get.

Just a great, professional product. I am hoping that we get to be on here more.

Completely agree!

Not only were the commentators great, but they were also getting really excited about the Mean Green in the second half saying tons of good things.

When they handed the station over to the OSU game they mentioned Dan McCarney doing a great job turning the program around in Denton and the announcers of the OSU game then spent two minutes during the begining of the OSU game talking about how Dan McCarney is great and UNT is on the upswing.

This is the type of exposure we need. This is how a program becomes relevant on a national stage.

It helps to have two experienced announcers rather than the types you usually find on ESPN3.

Anyone know if there is going to be a replay.. forgot to record it

There are 3 or 4 replays this week, according to my TV schedule.

Mark Followill is the first announcer I've ever heard correct that ridiculous error. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I think he should be enshrined in the UNT Hall of Fame just for that.

[aztecskin]

I was too busy being outraged to hear Followill correct him. How'd he do it? Balldinger was solid aside from the State gaffes. Nice to be treated like a real team finally. #gmg

Lol I did notice that, and a quick correction to boot.

[UNTLifer]

Baldinger said we had the hardest hitting secondary he'd seen this year, then later changed it to the entire D.

[UNTGuy5]

I'm in total agreement! I watched this game (illegally) in New York, and I was proud to finally see a legit production for a North Texas football game. Big ups to the broadcast team, but more importantly, the football team and the coaching staff.

Mark Followill called the game today? As many of you know hes a UNT grad! Followill is one of the best broadcasters in the business

He did an outstanding job. Hope he'll come back and start doing this more often!

The team got a lot of praise during the halftime program and during the second half, especially the D. Lots of talk about the turnovers and even more about the big hits our guys were delivering. Some fun notes - Thompson got the player of the game and Lee got their edge of the game awards.

Just another fun stat - the number of turnovers our team was able to generate against a team this caliber with a quarterback of this caliber says good things about our program. Ball's Wenning is no joke, he's clearly their deadliest offensive weapon and I'm glad to see this game end with a W in our column.

[Eastwood Eagle]

I agree. Fox Sports did a great job. Nice benefit of CUSA already coming in to play.

[shaft]

I recorded the game and am watching it now. The tv coverage is great. Way better than anything we had with the Sun Belt and ESPN.

CUSA's commercials even look better.

[Green Mean]

Brian Baldinger was the commentator? I thought he did NFL games for Fox.

[Stix]

Overall it was very good. I missed the "North Texas State". But... anyone notice the graphic at the end of the game called us the "North Texas Green Machine"?!
