Good luck to the Mean Green on their trip to Oklahoma. While I think winning the game might be a stretch I hope the Mean Green can make a good showing in Dodge's first game and come back healthy. I will be keeping tabs on the game from frogland where I am hoping for an upset as well.

From what I read about him earlier in the year he is a stud linebacker, however he may have trouble qualifying due to grades. If he can get in and stay in he will probably be one of the best to play at UNT. Rumor is he and Kinne were big pals and when Kinne decided to go ride the pine at Texas and they wouldn't offer to him he wanted to go somewhere else. Great pickup for Dodge if he pans out.
I was at the basketball game tonight. WHAT A FINISH!!!!!

I watched the game last week and was impressed with Wilson's touchdown drive. If DD will play him tommorow I think UNT can in. I'm not sure who wins this game but the prediction by the DMN is way off. This game is decided by 7 points or less and whoever wins the turnover battle wins the game. I hope UNT beats the pi$$ out of SMwho. Good luck MEAN GREEN!!!

Just FYI Baylor has worn white pants at times fo a very long time. I can remember some games in Waco when UNT was NTSU and the uniforms were very close. My understanding is the pants will be gold this year so I don't think this should be an issue after Sunday. Good luck tomorow in Austin and for everyone that is driving down for the gme have a safe trip.

VideoEagle,
If you could or would read (speaking of literate) the other posts in this topic you would see who mentioned "homecoming" first. I feel the same way you do about SMU but I'm afraid they may kick UNT's a$$ in Denton this year. Like I have said before I actually like UNT and will be at the games they play in Denton this year when Baylor is on the road. I think this post is starting to get old so I think we should move on to something else to talk about. As for Firefightnricks last post I think I should remind him the UNT win over Baylor in Denton is the only time UNT has beaten Baylor in school history. I have heard that playing with your fire hose too much can cause memory problems. The only thing I know for sure is college football is less than two weeks away and I am ready. Good luck on the season.

For one whose team finished in the cellar of the worst conference in football you sure like to run your mouth. Talk about wanting to schedule a team for homecoming. If you check most pre season polls including Sports Illustrated and Texas Football Baylor is predicted to be in a bowl game at the end of the year while UNT is picked between 4-6 in the Sunbelt. I have no idea what to expect out of Baylor this year but I would be willing to put up a little cash they will win more games overall than UNT. The way I see it UNT goes 0-4 again this year in out of conference games (I wonder if any of those are homecoming for the other team) and might win three conference games (possible laughing stock). UNT's domination of the Sunbelt is over and they have proven you can go from the penthouse to the outhouse a lot quicker than the reverse. All smack talking aside I actually hope UNT has a good year and am looking forward to making the games in Denton when Baylor is playing on the road.

Even if a comet did hit Baylor Stadium on September 3rd both Bylor and TCU would be better off than being stuck in the Sun Belt. : :

I was at the game FirefightnRick shows the picture of and there was no more than 25,000 in the stands for that game and not nearly that many on the field afterwards. I have attended many UNT games and their fan support is poor at best for the numbers enrolled and alumni. Even during the seasons where they won the Sun Belt the stands were never completely full and the stadium only holds 30,000. I enjoy watching and listening to UNT football but there is no way they should be compared to Baylor or any other Big 12 school as far as fan base. I think some posters should probably check the numbers in attendance when Baylor was playing in the SWC before talking about the number of fans that would attend a home Baylor game if they were not in the Big 12.

I am afraid SMU is going to pound North Texas. Their team improved a great deal throughout the season while NT went from the penthouse to the outhouse. I think the only way UNT has a chance is if someone decides to step up and play quarterback and DD can find an offensive line to block for Thomas. Last year proved to ba a disaster and much of the blame was on the offensive line and the fact that the QB could not throw a pass. I do believe the UNT secondary is better than SMU's receivers and if they decide to throw the ball a bunch (which they usually do) it could help UNT out. What sucks the most is it is not even April and football is 5+ months away. Be glad UNT is playing SMU instead of TCU because it would be much worse.

My guess is the Sunbelt champ would still go. I think the first year UNT went they only had 5 wins but were Sunbelt Champs.

Once again you are so wrapped up in being a UNT homer that you are running off at the mouth like you say Baylor's coach is doing. While I will agree with you his comment wasn't the best thing he could have said you are acting like he insulted your mother. I would rather have a coach talk to the media and express his feelings than not talk or not let his players talk as DD did after last years Baylor game. As for DD's four conference titles and bowl games like I said earlier he deserves recognition. Let's remember the Sunbelt is a long way from the Big 12 or any other major conference. I have a feeling Kevin Steele and his Baylor teams could have won the Sunbelt. Before you start beating your gums about only two conference wins lets see if UNT can just win an OOC game. Does 100+ to 9 ring a bell. I guess the last time they did that was against Baylor at Fouts, if I didn't miss one since then. I stand by my statement that if DD was such an outstanding coach your own fans would not be talking $hit about him and some other major team would have made him an offer he would not have refused. I do believe he is about the best UNT will ever have unless they get out of the Sunbelt. As far as the offensive routes receivers run I don't think you want to compare offenses at the present time. I think it may be best for us to agree to dissagree on this one. I still hope UNT wins the Belt and plan on making at least two more of the home games.
P.S. I hope I didn't offend you with the $hit comment. I promase it wasn't a personal attack on you like the shower comment was.

I guess that class DD has gets you to 1-3 and an offense that can bearly break 200 yards with what is supposed to be the two best backs in the nation. Lets face it, DD is not a Big 12 or any other major conference coach or he would not still be where he is. He deserves credit for winning four straight Sunbelt titles but that where it should stop. Morriss is showing that what he did at Kentucky in two years was not a fluke. I think you should listen to your UNT counterparts that actually seem to know soething about football and coaching.
As for the Troy game, I thought UNT showed some signs of improvement but has to hang on to the ball. Take the UNT turnovers away nd the game is not even close and UNT wins. I don't think the season is a loss at this point. If UNT can continue to improve and win out everyone knows Troy will lay an egg at least a couple of times in conference play. It won't be eay but winning the conference is not out of the question at this point.

Thanks for the good comments about the Bears. It was a tough loss but I think the program is going in the right direction. I will have to wait and see if this loss sinks the ship or will just make them play harder. As for the Mean Green, good luck Tuesday night and I will be there to watch in person. I didn't get to go to A&M today so I have to get my football fix in somewhere. My prediction:
UNT 23
Troy 20
It won't be pretty but Dickey will find a way to win this one.

Actually the Baylor battle cry at this point is "We beat Army, Samford, and SMU, while unt lost to Tulsa by 52.
After all of the smack talking I have seen on this board I was just having some fun. Although you may not believe me, I will be pulling for unt in sunbelt play and am actually going to make the Troy game.
Everyone be carefull this weekend. It looks like Rita is the real deal.

"That is why they play"
Hey BG:
Any team that gets whacked by Tulsa shouldn't be calling any other team "lowly". The only thing lowly about the mean green is the amount of points they score and the total yards by the offense. I know, your're going to remind me about the one time unt beat Baylor in the history of the university. It is a good thing they did it then because it wont happen again. Too bad we don't play any time soon. As for SMU the way unt is playing SMU would spank them as will Kansas State. For the most part the people on this board know what they are talking about but it is people like you that have to make stupid comments about other teams when theirs sucks that makes me laugh when a team like Tulsa hangs a half a hundred on you. Oh by the way I think unt was only about 50 yards away from having more penalty yards than total offense.
Kansas State 54
unt 6 (No touchdowns for the mean green two weeks in a row)
For the normal people on this board I do hope UNT fairs well in the SBC but DD needs to get it going. I'm just afraid it doesn't happen Saturday.

For the last time, when a team hangs a half a hundred on you like Colorado did the loosing team will usually have a high number of yards in total offense. Part due to the fact UNT had a large number of offensive plays and second Colorado had their starters on the bench for most if not all of the second half. Lets put last year and the year after to bed and see what happens this year.
For the record I do beleive that Cobbs and Thomas are great runners just maybe not as good as those who bleed mean green do. I hope UNT can win the Sunbelt again this year but I think it may be a little tougher than some think. Even with a loss Saturday everyone knows the MUTS won't win out and UNT probably will.

PlummMeanGreen:
Kinda funny how you can remember the one and only time UNT beat Baylor but cant remember the score last year in Waco. I think it was 34-17 and UNT had less than 100 yards on the ground (because Thomas was injured???) He broke a nice run for a td in the first quarter of about 45 yards but did nothing after that. As I mentioned in my earlier post I hope UNT wins and I am not a closet MUTS fan. If you didn't even make the trip to Waco to support your team last year it makes me wonder how great of a fan you may be. I see most of the games in Denton and have made one Bowl game. Other than the Baylor game two years ago I cant remember the last time UNT won an OOC game. Just trying to have a little fun to pass the time away until Saturday. If I caused you to get your panties in a wad then I apologize. As for the win over Baylor, enjoy it because you know it will never happen again.

As usual Plumm Mean Green you are talking with your heart and not your head. If you think I am talking smack about UNT you are mistaken. I was mearly making an observation. I would like to see UNT run away with this game but I just don't think it is going to happen. I am well aware of what Cobbs and Thomas can do with the help of a good line and playing Sunbelt competition. As for megar, he is yet to take a college snap and you are talking like he is a senior. Let me repeat I hope UNT wins, however I believe it may me a close game won late in the trehches.
-
The game will be a lot closer than 14 points. As for the Colorado defense the only reason UNT had the rushing yards they did was due to the amount of possessions they had. If you remember Colorado hung a half a hundred on UNT. This is a 7-10 point game max. If the offensive line of UNT can give Megar a litle time to throw and open up the running game UNT will Win. If Megar has to run for his life all day it won't matter who is in the backfield the MUTS will win. I hope it goes UNT's way but it is going to be a close game.
-
I think the Muts may have a slight edge in this one. While UNT has Cobbs, Thomas, Quinn, and Lyneberry, Megar has not taken a snap in a college game. If he can get the ball to Quinn every now and then to open up the running game then UNT wins. If he has no time to throw with the brand new offensive line Cobbs and Thomas may not be a factor. I will make two predictions based on my post.
If Megar has time to pass UNT wins 31-17.
If Megar is ruuning for hi life all day and the Muts can load the box they will win 27-17.
Good luck to the MEAN GREEN!!!

I would love to say 3-1 or 2-2, but I've seen it too much the past few years in OOC play.
As I take off my green tinted glasses, I see them going 1-3.
Losses to LSU and KSU and beat either LaTech or Tulsa. (as much as it hurts to say, the edge goes to LaTech on the road)
Until I see otherwise......................
-
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but once again UNT will loose all their OOC games. They will be blown out at LSU and Kansas State and loose a close one to Tulsa. The good news is I think they can still win the Sunbelt and take the usual trip in December. Good Luck in the Belt.

I hope your right Playmaker!

I sure didn't see this loss on the schedule however I watched this team play Southern and was concerned they were ready for the holidays. I think it is hard for a good team to get up for a conference game right before the holidays. May have been some bad scheduling on JJ's part. From what I have seen so far this season I don't think this is going to happen very often and UNT should be the team to beat when it comes to tournemant play. Good luck the rest of the way.
