Was all set to watch The Mean Green about a half hour ago, but noticed something was up when the streams weren't working in the minutes leading up to the 3:30 PM EST (2:30 PM CST) broadcast start time....and for minutes AFTER the fact.

Saw that Baylor-TCU was in a weather delay, and that the radar shows the southern-midwest getting hammered by storms, thus, the UTSA-UNT game is on weather delay, as well.

Texas A&M at Arkansas is getting rained out with hail the size of pocket change and minor flooding, so, Memphis (of freaking course) is getting free, national coverage, in their stead, at UAB.

The ESPN crew were pumping up The American Conference as being one of the strongest with such a logjam of great teams to this point!

Good for them.

UNT was shown to have a 4% chance of reaching the CFP. That's may be out of reach, BUT The American Title Game, and Championship, is NOT!

Take care of business, here, today, be well and get home safe, and next week the world can watch another Friday Night Lights match-up on-the-Deuce, "in the CLT"!

"What happened the last time UTSA came to Denton in the rain?"

GMG!

EDIT: HOT-TAKE: Whilst the "San Antonio" script helmets look sharp, the "French-flag" striping with orange instead of red on the UTSA uniforms is gnarly-bad, IMHO.

Looks like a decent crowd, considering the big loss last weekend and playing in a delay, in the rain, against a lesser opponent. Many in Denton seem to care that it's a rivalry game.

A fumble, a sack, and a turnover-on-downs. These defensive stats are adding UP!

Need NIL money to keep RB-Hawkins, coach-Cobbs, and DC-Cassity, NOW!

"First time this season The Mean Green have over 500 yards of offense."

"Over 37 in 30 consecutive games since 1951."? What did he say?

UAB HOLDS OFF MEMPHIS!!!!!!! UNT TO THE AMERICAN TITLE GAME!!!!!

TD TO BOOT!!!

The screenshots keep on coming!

EDIT: Well, all muh streams just simultaneously ended their broadcasts of the game, and there's still time left in the 4th quarter after the backups scored to make it 55-17, so, am in-the-dark on anything after that.

LIGHTING THE TOWER WOULD HELP ILLUMINATE THAT DARKNESS!

YES!

SIDE NOTE:

This meticulous Mean Green fan missed a couple of games' worth of turnover SCSA celebrations over the past 2.5 seasons, since they instituted it, BUT has quite a collection otherwise from almost every single game in that time span, and, upon coming back from church to, pleasantly, see the CLEAR LATERAL called, correctly, by the refs, was able to add another screenshot of the earlier turnover SCSA celebration to their collection of screenshots.

So, for future reference, with only minor cropping needed to be done, this user could forward several momentous screenshots, SCSA celebration and otherwise (touchdowns, stats, good screengrabs of the crowd and team, otherwise) for at least this season, for anyone by the end of the season for a potential "retrospective" article on the season!

"Multiple 50+ point games of this many for the third time since 1959."

GMG!

That WAS a LATERAL by the UTSA QB....the question is, even with 7 replays, is if it was tipped or not. From one angle, it looks like it, from others, it doesn't, BUT, even the commentators say that there was a weird trajectory change for the ball. But it was AIMED as a lateral JUST behind the line.

EDIT: YUP! GMG!
