UNT is much improved by the way 0 particular their d line. Wouldn't be surprised to see them win their conference.

Agree hicks looked sketchy. I think Chad doesn't want to play 7 much until TCU. wouldn't be surprised to see him in the second qtr of TCU.

Pretty happy with this game. It was all but over by the fourth quarter; Sutton got the high numbers he deserves; 38 straight points was a strong answer to a 10-0 start by UNT, and for once we got the uniform right - CAN WE JUST GO WITH WHAT WE PUT ON TONIGHT AS OUR HOME UNIFORMS, PLEASE?

If Hicks is going to be the starting QB his decision making still needs improvement. The line needs to help him out more - if they play like they did tonight against TCU they will get eaten up. The D looked better until they gave up a few big plays - I'm hoping those plays were an anomoly, I'm not convinced they were.

Good to start 2-0. Hopefully we continue to improve.

NTSU band gets the award for most annoying band, at least on TV so far this year. Their incessant, repetitive playing was best enjoyed by turning the sound off!

At least they remained engaged in the game.

Some other band was dancing while NTSU was scoring a TD instead of cheering on the defense and didn't seem to even give a [deleted].

yeah - why doesn't our band play more. They used to do a million perinea's in a row and it was awesome. Lots of silence now.

The NTSU band was playing while we were in the huddle on offense. TCU's band always does the same thing to us and certainly will next Saturday.

We never do it to other teams - no idea way.

I am starting to wonder why we bother. They really don't add anything to the experience.

Our band wasn't mic'd either so it was difficult to even know they were playing.
Long live Inez Perez!

Arkpony mentioned to me once about not being able to hear our band. I looked over there and saw them playing but could not hear a thing.

Hard to hear a 20 man band in a stadium. They seem to be shrinking with each passing year.

For halftime:
First song was from 1951.
Second song was a Ray Charles hit.

We need to triple the band numbers. UNTs band was big and loud and ours looks like a 2A high school band playing songs my grandad jammed to.

For whatever reason, not a ton of band people want to pay 200k for an education. No idea why.

If you want the band to be bigger - give to the diamond M club scholarship fund.

I want them to be bigger, but I want them to play more. They seem lazy these days.

I'd rather have an IPF than a band.
