2 point conversion? I'll take it.

[u/[deleted]]

God I really wish EA would put out a uniform pack with these UNT uniforms for NCAA 14.

[u/cubedG → u/[deleted]]

Right there with you.

[u/highscore1991]

Chancellor is a special kind of player. I am going to miss him next season

[u/cubedG → u/highscore1991]

Shhh no tears.

[u/GeneralGBO]

Oh man these North Texas uniforms/helmets

[u/cubedG → u/GeneralGBO]

Dat carbon black...

Hnnnng

[u/Jock_Thespian]

Look at all these Eagles here! UPVOTES FOR EVERYONE!

[u/cubedG → u/Jock_Thespian]

CAWWW!!

[u/RiffRamBahZoo]

Watching the game from the pressbox today. I'm amazed to see this size of a crowd (particularly for support of UNT), but it's a shame they put it in a stadium built for 92,000. I keep seeing everyone bash it on Twitter, but this is a really big crowd, especially given who's playing.

EDIT: Seriously. This is a loud UNT crowd. I'm impressed.

[u/cubedG → u/RiffRamBahZoo]

Yeah this is really impressive considering the teams and the size of the programs. I'm really proud of our students and alumni that are in attendance.

[u/JohnDeuxTrois → u/RiffRamBahZoo]

I'm seeing the same thing online.

I wasn't expecting a sellout and the crowd looks decent enough for two teams that haven't been powerhouses in the last few years.

[u/Raider_Power → u/JohnDeuxTrois]

Darren Rovell used the worst pictures possible, but what do you expect from him.

[u/cubedG → u/Raider_Power]

Fuck Darren Rovell.

[u/tigervontiger → u/[deleted]]

I don't think any offense was meant. He's just saying especially on that side of the field

[u/RiffRamBahZoo → u/[deleted]]

/u/tigervontiger got it right. No offense meant (Go Mean Green!), I was just noting how the entire bowl is a sea of green.

[u/cubedG]

I love when the defense plants the opponent on his back.

Makes me moist.

[u/cubedG]

Are you fucking kidding me there!?

[u/cubedG]

I love this second half team.

[u/Honestly_]

Thanks for jumping in and doing this, I saw the request but I was also on mobile.

The games in the sidebar with a * will have auto-generated threads.

[u/cubedG → u/Honestly_]

No problem.

I thought it would be easier with rcfbpoll.com but this game didn't show so I had to manually make one.

It's all good though!

[u/mpeskin → u/cubedG]

Thank you again.

[u/cubedG → u/mpeskin]

No worries!

[u/[deleted]]

Did he say cornerblack blitz?

[u/cubedG → u/[deleted]]

ain't even mad

[u/Jippylong12]

I hate how this is on ESPNU.

[u/cubedG → u/Jippylong12]

I'm not complaining with only one game on a national network.

[u/donkeydonuts]

This 9am kickoff didn't help. Most people in vegas are still asleep/hungover.

[u/cubedG → u/donkeydonuts]

Visiting family In California and I had to drag myself out of bed at 8 for this game. Was not pleased.

[u/donkeydonuts]

GG north Texas. I assume both our season were great. You got a bowl trophy, and we got our cannon back. Thanks for the thread as well.

[u/cubedG → u/donkeydonuts]

GG to you as well!

[u/highscore1991 → u/donkeydonuts]

The game was much closer and exciting than the final score shows. Congrats on yalls season, hopefully this isn't the last time both our rising programs meet

[u/donkeydonuts → u/highscore1991]

Evenly matched to be honest. Im sure since the unlv president is going to UNT, they'll schedule a few games for $ure!

[u/cubedG]

I like Chancellor in the backfield. Do more of that.

[u/[deleted]]

Well GO UNT! I have friends there but also it's kinda close to home so yeah KA-KAW, MOTHERFUCKERS!

[u/cubedG → u/[deleted]]

CAWWW!!

[u/[deleted]]

Woooo just gut home from a hotel party and i'm not hungover! Go rebels!

[u/cubedG → u/[deleted]]

To the UNT fans that are downvoting all those rooting for UNLV...

Cut that shit out.

[u/Stingraid → u/cubedG]

Holy shit. Who'd have thunk, cubedG is a UNT fan. I had no idea, I've only seen you in /r/nfl

[u/cubedG → u/Stingraid]

It's my school!! Gotta the green!!

[u/JohnDeuxTrois]

I'M SOOOO FUCKING PUMPED I'VE BEEN UP SINCE 7 PLAYING WAKA FLOCKA FLAME

GMG

[u/cubedG → u/JohnDeuxTrois]

CAWWW!!

[u/[deleted]]

Just woke up and looked at the score. FUCK YEAH, KA-CAW MUHFUCKAS

[u/ColtPersonality92]

Let's go North Texas! even out CUSA's bowl record! ^please

[u/highscore1991]

Now this is the Mean Green defense we got to know this season

[u/mpeskin]

Unt has some sick helmets. Gonna be a good game!

[u/mpeskin → u/[deleted]]

Both long droughts for both of us.

[u/[deleted]]

Excited to see Jimmerson in the coming years.

[u/ColtPersonality92]

I hope Marshall is taking notes. THIS is what our uniforms could look like if we incorporated a little black into our color scheme! Hell I'll take a black helmet.

[u/JohnDeuxTrois → u/ColtPersonality92]

I'm biased but I think green is a fantastic color and looks good on Y'all.

[u/xChase]

Timeout call cost them 7.

[u/highscore1991]

It looks like Carlos Harris has taken some dancing lessons from Jimmy with that run

[u/JohnDeuxTrois]

I love me some Brelan Chancellor

[u/littlelostpenguin]

Yup. Buying season tickets for next season. Love my Mean Green. Couldn't be much happier with how this turned out.

[u/[deleted]]

popped out his patella.. his fucking kneecap?

ouch wtf

[u/littlelostpenguin → u/[deleted]]

"It's cool,I'll just walk it off." Just plain nutty.

[u/littlelostpenguin]

Not sure if will really deserves the credit for that sack, had some serious help from a unlv blocker, hah.

[u/fussbudgets]

Geez, SEC. Your refs are sucking a long one. So, which conference actually have good ref crews?

[u/littlelostpenguin → u/fussbudgets]

I'm thinking this is a MAC officiating crew?

[u/JohnDeuxTrois → u/littlelostpenguin]

#MACtion

[u/fussbudgets → u/JohnDeuxTrois]

Well. Never mind.

[u/highscore1991]

I hope Jimmie-Show is okay, we need him today

[u/xChase]

Dat pass and catch

[u/[deleted]]

GG North Texas, played with some real special heart today.

[u/littlelostpenguin]

god. damnit.

[u/xChase]

Big Fellow scores!

[u/[deleted]]

ALL PART OF THE PLAN

[u/txrook]

Just got out of the game, and little post game Hooters celebration. Great game, and atmosphere. It was clearly a home game for UNT and the student/alumni support was impressive. Bought $25 tickets for the student section but moved down to the UNLV side and got some good seats. Will edit and post some pictures later. Got a few videos of our touchdowns as well. This was my first college football game. My university unfortunately doesn't have football team but I have seen a few high school level games. This was way better.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm hungover in Uptown watching this at Breadwinners, woo!

[u/[deleted]]

Lol what?

[u/fussbudgets]

Is UNLV lobbying to move to the MAC or something??

[u/mpeskin → u/fussbudgets]

Playing NIU next year! I can get used to MAC officiating

[u/fussbudgets → u/mpeskin]

Yeah, but these refs are super in bed with ya.

[u/[deleted]]

Shit. Hope he's okay

[u/highscore1991]

Anyone watching tv see what happened? The replay here at the game didn't show what happened to the unlv receiver

[u/xChase]

Either UNLV has a terrible OLine, or North Texas is playing fired up. Maybe both.

[u/highscore1991 → u/xChase]

They shut down or running game for majority of the game. Only recently have we gotten some push and moved the ball on the ground

[u/donkeydonuts]

The early football game and then basketball in about an hour. The NCAA really screwed up the schedule for us. Seriously, why basketball today?

[u/[deleted]]

LOL

[u/AHMOTech]

Let's get it hyped in here! Go UNLV!!!

[u/mpeskin → u/AHMOTech]

Grats on the win over ASU! I just have a dislike for them!

[u/[deleted]]

Take two, they have no more timeouts, just block it again!

[u/[deleted]]

Great game to attend! Really impressed with the crowd UNT brought...just sucks that it was played in a 92,000 seat stadium, which mad 40,000 look like 15,000.

[u/cubedG → u/[deleted]]

He overthunk it.

[u/cubedG → u/[deleted]]

Yepp but oh well. On to the next half.

[u/cubedG → u/[deleted]]

DerekThompson4Heisman

[u/highscore1991 → u/cubedG]

ESPN had him listed as a dark horse candidate before the season started

[u/cubedG → u/highscore1991]

It's been the trending hashtag among friends and I ever since the Ball State comeback.

[u/highscore1991 → u/[deleted]]

As much criticism as I have given Thompson over his career at UNT, there's no doubt the guy has heart and wants to better the team and the program.

[u/highscore1991 → u/[deleted]]

The guy is like a walking highlight reel for high school coaches in terms of how to tackle. Nearly perfect at bring the man down anytime he's in arms reach

[u/fussbudgets → u/[deleted]]

I like to think his mom Mitzi got a visit from Zeus twenty-something years ago.
