[UNT/FIU Score Predictions]

We'll play a little better and should win. I'd say 37-17. They haven't broke 17 points yet, so I don't think they'll do it against us.  

This is a must win.

[Hypothetical]

I was right on the recruiting part. 😄

[The real test for this team is week 3!]

I agree with La Tech and I also think FIU is a must win. 

[Mediocre Cal]

One of the worst things that happened is their QB getting hurt.  The 2nd string QB was better that the starter.

Just FYI, the gate I came in (4 I believe) did not have properly working scanners. They'd visually check the tickets on the phone and let you in. 1 of my 4 scanned, the others did not. The people in front of me had the same issue. This likely affects the recorded attendance.

Has nothing to do with the count they use.

Except in the last two minutes of the half.

After the 2019 game against Cal Berkeley, I had one fan who was probably 15 or 16 come up to me and say North Texas sucks. I politely responded back, if we suck so much, how come it took you 4 quarters to beat a Conference USA school. The kid's response, silence.

 

With that being said, Cal sucks.

That's the post. 

Oh yeah?  Well an 8 year old said UNT smelled like poop and I said nuh uh, you do and then I did this.

[No reusable water bottles at DATCU]

What is the rationale behind this? 

 

This is really dumb. Part of the benefit of brining your own water bottle is you can bring one that’s not plastic and that will actually keep water cold. 
 

This is going to be a “nice idea but poorly executed” just like the wing zone pub last year if not amended. 

Also, an empty plastic bottle of water is still reusable, just doesn't keep it as cold for as long.

This is from MeanGreenSports.com under DATCU Stadium A-Z. This is listed under the prohibited items section. 
 

• outside food and drink (exception: fans can bring one unopened one‑liter or smaller bottle of water

 

I'm not sure, but I think those are the standard rules that apply under normal circumstances. The open, empty bottle is because of the "excessive" heat for this season's opener.  Maybe both will be allowed. I'm sure the people at the gate will have it all sorted by gameday and there won't be utter chaos. 😉

[Rough Week For Ex-UNT Football Players in the NFL]

So I was reading the lists of cuts that were published by the NFL. It appears the following former UNT players have been cut. Additionally, Jaelon Darden is on the trading block (another thread started) for the Browns. If he doesn't make the team we will be 0-5 for players on the active roster.

Kemon Hall-  Los Angeles Chargers

Nate Brooks- San Francisco 49ers

 La'Darius Hamilton- San Francisco 49ers

Jordan Murray- Indianapolis Colts (early camp cut)

 

Darden isn't on the trading block, if anything he's on the chopping block. Another WR is on the trading block because Darden wouldn't bring any value back because of him missing the pre-season due to injury (according to the article). The article makes it seem like Darden would be kept because their return guy got hurt and Darden has that in his bag and the other WR doesn't. 

[UTSA schedule]

Ours wouldn't be any better.

[Cal vs North Texas Predictions]

38-28, Cal.

While I think the heat helps us, I don't think it helps enough. Our defense while more acclimated has less depth and our starters will need to be replaced by backups for a breather plenty throughout the game.  They probably beat us with the run and tire us out in the end.

[North Texas Week 1 Depth Chart]

Our run D will come down to our outside LBs and Safeties not missing tackles.

[What away games are you attending?]

I'll be at smu and probably LA Tech since the AD gave us those free tickets.

How does one get the provided seatbacks? 

Pay the ticket office $40 per seat and they will have them installed in your seats.

I had to call the ticket office e because they forgot to put my parking passes on my account. 

[Can we please come up with a unified ending to the “North…Texas” chant?]

The biggest problem is the time when the people upstairs start it.  More than a couple were started last year after a big play for the other team or bad play for us or when we were already down multiple scores.  We need someone that isn't a sport idiot starting it in the appropriate times. No one wants to do a cheer when we've just been kicked in our sports nuts.

[Can we please come up with a unified ending to the “North…Texas” chant?]

It should happen before a series or a play starts and the play is the punctuation. The problem with that cheer is the PA starting it and going for too long.
