A question for the older alums: Was "Peck 'em Eagles" something the students used to say way back when? My father insists that used to be something they used to say, like we say " Go Mean Green" today. Can someone confirm or deny?

Seems a bit silly to me, but so do a lot if the old school " sis boom bah" cheers that used to go on. Generational thing.

During the time that Corky Nelson was the coach, there was a "Cork'em Eagles" campaign. I still have a big button that is in my office.

That may be what he is thinking.

They sound silly, but I'd like to find a "xxx 'Em Eagles!" saying. Sick 'em Bears, Hook 'em Horns, Gig 'em Aggies, Wreck 'em Tech, etc. They're just cool and if you've never explained it to someone from out of state, really entertaining. Doesn't SHSU have one too? Maybe Houston?

"Eat em up Coogs", is apparently a saying at UH, but I've never heard that as much as Go Coogs and the "Whose House/Coog's House" call and response.

I do think "Go Mean Green" is a great motto/saying/whatever.

I've never heard "peck 'em" but I've only been following NT football since the mid-sixties.

As far as the Corkey Nelson era, the only thing I recall being said was "I hear ya" which was an expression Corkey used during press conferences.

      I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

      Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

      the UNI game was a 9 point game with 3:30 to play. 57-48. we shut them out from there to push it to 20, but at no point short of the last minute or so was it even possible to clear the bench. everybody needs stop over-analyzing tonight's loss. it was a toss up...they made a few more plays than we did. play the game ten times and it's 5/5 with a top 30 team that might sneak into the top 25 by Christmas.

      Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

      oh no...a downvote. articulate a half-decent opinion or go the eff away. I swear actually having a winning program has made this board worse.
