It’s time for a UNT tradition — Get Your Rear on the Record


Harry

Recommended Posts

There are a few traditions like no others when it comes to UNT football the cannon and Scrappy the mascot come to mind.

Of course there is also our own little tradition here on the blog. Yep, its time for the Get Your Rear on the Record contest.

We usually trot this out there about two weeks before the start of the season.

Here are the ground rules:

Each year we take guesses via e-mail: bvito@dentonrc.com on what UNTs final record will be. We keep a running tally on the blog and then dig them up to see who made the right call at the end of the year.

The exercise was born out of the annoying process of watching people predict that each year would be the big turnaround year for UNT for reasons based on faith and little else. No one would remember at the end of the year or point out who was right and who was wrong when it came to preseason predictions.

The MGB never forgets.

You might be wondering how last years contest turned out. Well, I have the answer.

Harry, if it plays out the way you have it, we most likely end up in the CUSA ship.

3-9.

Ok, that was.a joke, but if the QB and DLquestions can't be answered, a very real possibility.

I only see one sure loss on the schedule (UT). I see 3 away games that are going to be difficult to win. So lets say that's 4 losses.

And I see 2 home games that are toss ups (SMU and FAU). So lets say we split these and win the other games that we are "supposed" to win.

That puts us at 7-5.

Which could just as easily be 4-8 or 9-3.

SMU will be a loss. Coach Mac is too hung up on this not being a rivalry even though most of those SMU wins were decades ago and not relevant to modern college football.
