[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

56-0 Oklahoma with 5:36 left in the 3rd quarter, but UNT is looking to score (4th and Goal from the OU 12).

[grove rat]

damn...

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

UNT kicks a field goal. 56-3. I smell a comeback!

[97blkpny]

UNT is a 4th quarter team....

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

63-3, with :59 left in the 3rd. It's obvious they're not a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd quarter team.

[slow99]

Well, I was hoping for a better showing. But, hey, I think they can still smoke the TWU football team.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

I dunno. Some of them bitches know how to scrap.

[slow99]

Lol, I don't doubt that one bit.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Touchdown, UNT! 63-10 with 14:30 left in the game.

[slow99]

Touchdown, UNT! 63-10 with 14:30 left in the game.

"Don't call it a comeback...I've been here for years."

How fucking embarrassing. :o

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Whoops. 70-10.

[Trip McNeely]

UNT is a 4th quarter team....
LOL! We all used to say that when I went there.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

LOLz! OU intercepted a pass and has it back inside UNT's 20.

[Whitesmoke]

I dunno. Some of them bitches know how to scrap.

gotta watch out for those dykey ones lol

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

77-10 with 10:46 left.

[grove rat]

77-10 with 10:46 left.

jesus h christ...can't they fuckin wave a white flag or somethin!?!? :o

[Pro Trash]

:D Well, I was hoping for a better showing. But, hey, I think they can still smoke the TWU football team.

Motherfucker please we've got a campus full of gals that play both ways,

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Ouch. Safety. 79-10 with 9:32. Now OU is only 3 touchdowns from triple digits. :eek:

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

And that's your final.

Heh, it's a little different game when your opposition is recruiting, too.

[Trip McNeely]

Im pretty sure thats a record high score against UNT. lol Oh well We went to 3 bowl games when I went there!

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

I think it was 76.

[Trip McNeely]

I think it was 76.
haha so it IS a new record?

[slow99]

haha so it IS a new record?

Given it's UNT...I seriously doubt it.

[SVTVenom]

That has to be one of the worst ass-whippings of any team in recent history. That rivals OU's 77-0 ass-beating of A&M.

I don't think it was ever in doubt that OU would win this game and would make spread, but this was just downright embarassing for North Texas.

The REAL test comes next week with Miami strolling into town. They looked pretty sharp against Marshall today.

[BlueThunder99TA]

good to see OU's redshirt freshmen go wild & get some confidence. Miami defiently is the true test, but I like OU's chances. :cool:

[bcoop]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA




Sorry. I thought there was a football game to play.


Granted, it's only UNT but good god. That was fucking pathetic. I like OU's chances against Miami, but we shall see. :D

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

LMFAO! A 69 point massacre isn't surprising? LMFAO, I said!

Football: Mean Green blowout not surprising
09:29 PM CDT on Sunday, September 2, 2007
Brett Vito / Staff Writer

Here's a quick reminder for all the fans in a state of despair out there in the Mean Green nation after what transpired in the first game of the Todd Dodge era at North Texas on Saturday:

Texas 65-0

Tulsa 54-2

Kansas State 54-7

That isn't a prediction of UNT's future; it's where the Mean Green has been the last few years in blowout losses. None was quite as bad statistically as the 79-10 pounding UNT took at the hands of No. 8 Oklahoma to open the season, but it is a lot easier to understand.

Dodge put in a whole new offensive system after he took over at UNT in December. A new defense, too.

It is going to take Dodge time to get his program going after taking over a team that went 5-18 in a run-based system the past two seasons.

Dodge knew that coming in. UNT's administration knew it. In case there were some fans out there who didn't know Dodge wasn't going to come in and immediately set the world on fire, a whacking at the hands of the Sooners should emphasize the point.

Dodge certainly didn't sound like he was completely surprised after seeing his personal 48-game winning streak that dated back to the Class 5A Division II state title game in 2003 come to an end.

"I don't have any feelings like, 'Wow, this is the first time I have felt this,'" Dodge said. "I am hurting now for my kids, but when you are in this arena, you take the chance that this is going to happen. … It was our night.

"We are going to learn from it, then forget it and go back to work on Tuesday."

UNT will certainly have a lot to learn from after OU shredded the Mean Green's new 4-3 defense and rendered its spread offense ineffective until the game had long been decided.

The Sooners scored 49 points in the first half, the most against the Mean Green in an opening half in the modern era of UNT history, and the high-powered offense Dodge brought with him from Southlake Carroll didn't reach the end zone until the fourth quarter.

Dodge talked in the preseason about having more than just a passing offense, but UNT posted just 15 rushing yards against OU. More than a quarter of the Mean Green's 247 total yards came on one 69-yard touchdown strike from backup quarterback Giovanni Vizza to wide receiver Casey Fitzgerald, who made an ill-advised dive into the end zone with the Mean Green down 63-3.

It could have been worse.

Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops talked about how he tried to call off the dogs in the second half, although you could argue he didn't try very hard after the Sooners scored 30 points after halftime and posted a safety after Alan Davis dropped Vizza in the end zone in the fourth quarter.

"We were telling our guys not to score," Stoops said. "If they broke free we were telling them to take a knee or something. Their style of play didn’t really help either. They got on the line and snapped the ball with 20 or so seconds left on the play clock. I’m not criticizing, I’m just saying that the style of play doesn’t help.”

In some ways it was admirable that UNT didn't just give up and run the ball on every down to milk the clock considering the situation the Mean Green faced.

The eighth-ranked Sooners might turn out to be the best team in the Big 12 Conference.

"This is only one game and Oklahoma is a great football team," UNT quarterback Daniel Meager said. "We have to keep working toward our goal and pushing forward."

UNT knew coming into Saturday that it could be a long day against Oklahoma, regardless of the team's mantra that it will play every game to win.

The Mean Green could have and should have played better. No one will argue that giving up 79 points to a team that said it wasn't trying to score in the second half isn't a bit embarrassing.

That loss isn't what UNT's season will be judged by, though.

UNT faces an SMU team it beat in former head coach Darrell Dickey's final season next week. The home opener against a Florida Atlantic team that is better most people believe looms in Week 3.

The early stages of Dodge's tenure will ultimately be judged by how he fares against the Sun Belt and the Mean Green's regional rivals. Maybe sometime down the line UNT will be able to pull off what Appalachian State did Saturday under former Mean Green coach Jerry Moore and beat a team like Michigan.

Saturday was only the first step for UNT under Dodge. UNT's players understand that and will spend the next few days trying to pick out what positives they can after a tough first step in what Dodge likes to call their journey together.

"Coach Dodge read the defense and picked the plays that fit," Fitzgerald said. "We didn't execute sometimes, but this is the first game of the season. We will get it going."

For Dodge and UNT, it could just take some time.

Yeah you're right like back in 2000 when OU beat UT 63-14 or 2003 when OU beat UT 65-13, OU can run up the score when the opposing team doesn't bring it.

[elzoro]

Yeah you're right like back in 2000 when OU beat UT 63-14 or 2003 when OU beat UT 65-13, OU can run up the score when the opposing team doesn't bring it.

But 77-0...?

I had cousin's from Hearne and Bryan during the late 60's/early'70's, who were about to blow their brains out after watching A&M lose to UT 7 years in a row by an average of over 30 points. I think '70 was the worst (one of UT's National Champ seasons). What goes around comes around...but you're right, teams need to "bring it" every single game...just ask Michigan.

[SVTVenom]

Yeah you're right like back in 2000 when OU beat UT 63-14 or 2003 when OU beat UT 65-13, OU can run up the score when the opposing team doesn't bring it.

Problem is, those were final scores. 77-0 was in the fucking 3rd quarter. OU could have EASILY scored over 100 on A&M that day.

If you want to look at head-to-head ass beatings, look no further than Texas/A&M in 2002 and 2003. 50-20 and 46-15 respectively with Mack calling off the dogs in both situations.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

What was Texas vs. OU two years ago, like 56-13?

[whitetrash]

Well, I was hoping for a better showing. But, hey, I think they can still smoke the TWU football team.
for the record TWU is all-time undefeated.lol

[SVTVenom]

What was Texas vs. OU two years ago, like 56-13?

That would be 45-12 Texas in 2005. ;)
