America’s great super power is storytelling. We tell ourselves some great myths which allows us to accomplish great things. Many an observer of the nation throughout history has noted this peculiarly of our nation. We really are a headstrong teenager, thinking we are invincible with limitless potential. Like any good myth, however, there were half-truths…
A healthy amount of skepticism is well, healthy. You should not always accept conventional wisdom unthinkingly. You should reexamine life, because the unexamined life is not worth living. That said, you should also hold firm convictions and let the well-earned truth guide you. That is all to say that you should wear a mask. I…
The various organizations have allowed teams to re-congregate and prepare to practice again. That is far from the major news of the week, as you are aware. The protests of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis have sparked a counter-protest from police. Here is a twitter thread from criminal defense attorney Greg Doucette. A…
Rodney King was the first victim of police brutality caught on video that I can remember. I was a kid and I only vaguely knew what was happening. The police were acquitted, which seemed unbelievable. I heard adults criticize the LA “Riots” as stupid for the same reason people are criticizing the current demonstrations in…
The entire season can be summed up in the third quarter game-losing interception: tough scenario, bold plan, terrible execution, awful result. North Texas kicked off the last season of Mason Fine’s collegiate career with much fanfare. There was a little G5 Heisman talk, some beat writer-led division hype, and the lingering good feelings from back-to-back…

UAB has dominated physically through most of the game, but have gotten in their own way through…

BRACKET The NCAA site hype for the Razorbacks: No. 3 Arkansas (16-3-2): The Razorbacks are the 2019 SEC runner-ups and are the only team…
The offense has gone heavy uptempo and heavy pass against UTEP this game. With the help of a special teams fumble recovery, Mason Fine scored three touchdown passes in less than three minutes of play in the first quarter. This is what the uptempo offense has hoped to be all season. The major factor in…
It’s Mean Green Friday so yes, I am wearing green. It’s cold and so that means a sweater. A thing that sucks about being a North Texas fan: there are a limited amount of sweater styles. I have found myself resorting to some 1930s-style fandom and wearing green but without a logo. This can also…
North Texas has made it a tough game for themselves. The defense has given the offense enough opportunities to put some distance on Middle Tennessee, but the offense has not taken advantage. The offense has been slow to adjust to Middle Tennessee’s pressure. North Texas leads 17-16. Fine marched the team down the field to…
