I was unable to watch the game and have only seen the highlights on MGSports...can someone give me a bit of context as to why Rice had so many downs within ten yards of the end zone? I'm assuming they went for it on 4th down and there was a defensive penalty? Legit call?

I have been watching football for 75 years including an era where defense ruled and scoreless ties were not uncommon and I have never...repeat never...seen a goal line stand to equal tonights. First a

There was a 4th down penalty. You are correct. The call was made in the end zone against Whitfield. Could have gone either way I thought.

It was a defensive holding call. IIRC, it resulted in the ball being on the 3 due to a half the distance penalty (from the 6).

If it would have been pass interference, I think it would have gone on the 1. At the time, I thought it might be a significant difference. Turns out that it was.

Just posted a video of "The Stand" to reddit's college football page.

And from the sound of things in that thread, we're not the only ones recently to do this let alone against Rice. I won't disgrace the glory in this thread with the actual video, but the vicious Fightin' Will Muschamps did it five years ago with 11 plays.

Somehow not nearly as exciting. Also, that 8th play technically wasn't a play since it never really happened. Of course that's the play Rice scored but it's called back due to a phantom false start penalty. I didn't see anyone move. Texas may have gotten a big gift from the refs on that one. Why is that not surprising?

I hope the promo guys plan on doing something for the Stand Saturday. Maybe the first time UTEP gets a 1st and goal do a highlight video of the Stand. Regardless, I'm actually excited to see how the crowd reacts the first time there is a goal line situation in this game (assuming there is one). Hopefully everyone goes extra crazy for the first goal line stand.

Y'all should all take a look at this. We get a lot of love and respect from CFB fans of all kinds of different teams.

I see some discussion on Abbe being pinned. Not illegal, apparently?

I'm hoping that schools don't even get a chance at the goal line from here on out

When talking about the 8 play defensive goal line stand, "THE STAND" was referenced on this week's Beyond the Green. GoMeanGreen.com influencing things again?

Also, this thread should be GMG.com HOF first ballot.

Someone with computer artistic talent needs to make a poster with the Mean Green defense in front of the west endzone and big letters across the top "THE STAND"

I'm just the idea man. The artests can make that idea come to life.

There was a guy sitting on the front row of section 106 today. He had on a green T-shirt. On the back it read THE STAND with the date of the Rice game underneath. I never saw it from the front. I want one.

      Is Robinson recruiting?

      Nah... not N word. But I called him woke from the jump... And his skin color ain't got shit to do with it as we all know white liberal women are the worst of the woke... It's his past of putting together a group think organization of black only (<---woke give away) big 12 assitant coaches during the George Floyd drug overdose.... any group that intentionally segregated itself off the basis of race is within itself racist by virtue. But you very well may be of the walks of life that state black folks can't be racist. Which is absolute BS. Are these "opinions" taboo? Not sure. Don't care.

      honestly, why don't y'all just use the n-word at this point? everyone knows you're saying the same thing and not doing so is, ironically, just being woke. really surprised that it took this long, but here we are.

      1977 interview with Bill Blakeley

      This was great. As is always the case, the more things change, the more they stay the same. We never could get SMU or really any of the old private SWC schools to support us in any way, in football or basketball. I know that UH didn't exactly help the case for us being in the SWC, since they came right into the league and handled the competition rather easily, for the most part, from 1976-1985. I love Hayden Fry and Bill Blakeley, but their biggest mistake wasn't seeing that the Big Eight was their best play. They could've used the Big Eight coming into Texas as their power move to get some SWC sway. But in reality, if we had gotten into the Big Eight in the late 70's, we had premier college brands in Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Colorado, as well as some solid OSU teams, to host. And in hoops, Kansas, KSU, Mizzou, Iowa State, and Oklahoma were all big national brands. Imagine seeing Barry Switzer, Tom Osborne, Bill McCartney, Larry Brown, Roy Williams, Norm Stewart, and Billy Tubbs leading their squads in games in Denton in the 80s, while SMU and TCU were hosting a dying contingent of SWC teams in those two sports?

      Is Robinson recruiting?

      My son is a Mean Green Maniac and I support UNT basketball. The last 8 years have been fabulous. Thanks to all the coaches, players, and collectives that have made our success possible. Information that I have received tells me that all is not well with basketball. The standard for our programs is 20 win seasons. Womens team has coaching issues according to players I am told by my son. Mens team is now being coached by a Woke and DEI individual. Think not, look at his Wikipedia and do some research on him. That will not be successful with our donors. Cleveland State players will not win 20 games and Burton want either. Lost 5 starters...Wooten, Deck, Hardaway, and Duncan. My perspective, hope I am mistaken.
