Cawing is stupid. I'm glad people have fun doing stupid things.

I bet there is a large portion of people who think posting 3,397 times on a fan forum is a stupid waste of time too. But hey, we're all here aren't we? Who are we to decide how and what people enjoy? I thought we paid taxes to have people do that.

That eagle screech would scare half the crowd, kids would start crying, but it got your attention. Maybe that's what busted the refs mics???

I liked it. It was at least an irritant to our opponents on third (or sometimes fourth) down when we were trying to get our defense pumped up. An opponent might expect to hear any number of things coming out of the loud speaker system, but rarely do they expect to hear a Eagle (or Hawk) screech.

Just curious. Why the hell did the band start doing the stupid caw thing during the fight song? Was there just too much dead air (millisecond at the most) time between the U-N-T Eagles chant and the refrain..... U-N-T Eagles fight, fight, fight. Here's an idea, how about yelling EAGLES even louder whilst throwing up the claw during the first part of the chant instead of inserting something TOTALLY STUPID IN THAT MILLISECOND OF DEAD AIR TIME.

      Good game, and hopefully all the banged up players aren't anything serious. We both seem to be really struggling with that. Hopefully you guys can get things figured out the rest of the year, or that you can make some excellent changes in the off season. We'll be going up to Laramie in a couple of years, so let's make it a good one. 🍻

      Stats that tell the story of the game, in my opinion: 1- 244 yards | Wyoming’s total offense 2- 69 yards | Wyoming’s yards rushing 4- 4-4 | UNT’s 4th Down efficiency 5- 0 | turnovers for either team AND Wyoming points in the second half 6- 4-6 | Wyoming 2nd half possessions that ended in 3 and outs; 1 of the other two was 4 plays 7- 120 | Porter’s rushing yardage in his first career staft

      Pre-Game Observations & Question

      The Alumni Pavilion seems like the quintessential poorly managed UNT asset. The changes to Verde catering the food for the past two or three seasons have sucked, in my opinion. And it's not just for alumni; unless it went back to that this season, anyone can come in and get food. A few of the Advancement people got hot on Twitter about justifying this change when it was done. I won't pretend I think the Alumni Association gives any member or prospective member a reason to join; the Alumni Pavilion used to be one of the most tangible things you could benefit from. The two patios are baking in the sun. The west-facing patio did get sun shades in the past few seasons; the newer east patio cut into the hill has no shade, and you get almost no breeze since the hill it is cut into stops a good bit of airflow. At a minimum, they need to add the sail sun shades to the east side, too. At the game today, the Alumni Pavilion was playing coffee house-esque heavy instrumental covers of songs. I didn't know whether to clap or snap at the end of songs. If I had a small chair and pillow, I could have taken a nap to the musician. I know we're a "Music School," but do we have to play folksy Americana-sounding music on game day at the Alumni Pavilion? You could put in a cheap 70v commercial audio system and play some high-energy music on two speakers pointing on each of the three exterior sides of the building and 2-4 inside the building. I'd buy a brick, but I figured it would end up in a stack only to be put in when they expand in a decade. The Alumni Association needs to be stripped down to the studs and have the whole board re-appointed. Non-football events have become non-existent, and the ones we go to (like the Dallas Perot Museum night this past week) seem like big misses because of the lack of organization.

      Improving the Student Game Day Experience

      If you've been at DATCU the last two games, it's pretty clear the band has been sidelined by the DJ playing songs more frequently between plays. Tonight, there were even a few times when the band tried to start playing, and the DJ started or kept going with their music. I know the old-timers want to hear Fly Like an Eagle, Mr Brightside, and a few other average UNT band songs, but the atmosphere is much better when we aren't subjected to the band being ready to play something between plays. In Q4 tonight, the DJ must have gone on break or was told to let the band play more. As a result, the energy was different from the first three quarters.

      This. 100%. Great post! When you have a blowout win like this, there's nothing to really complain about and our regular complainers can't work their magic. There's nobody to fire, etc. Wait until our next loss. Then the message board will be full of overreactions like let's fire all the coaches, replace the AD, yada, yada, yada. In the interim, I will very much enjoy the win. This was great!!
