defenses now have to contend with our running game

Yes I’ve always wondered when people throw out: “you ain’t played nobody” well...what would a top 10 team do against that schedule? We’re beating everyone by 33+, would they win every game by 50? this metric puts that into perspective. What they’re saying, is if a top 5 team played this schedule, they would only win by a TD more than we are Now if we played one of those top 5 teams, we would be more than a TD underdog, so every metric has flaws....but it’s an interesting take

Résumé S&P+, which looks at a team’s season scoring margin* and compares it to what the average top-five team’s scoring margin would’ve likely been against that schedule. If the number is positive, that team is faring better then the typical top-five team would be. Instead of advanced stats or win probability info, I’m adhering to actual margins.

A guy on the CUSA board just said Mason Fine struggles throwing the deep ball.

Thank you kind sir

I guess that sizable constituency lives just off of I20 on the way to Monroe, LA

Evidently the QB whose arm strength is TWICE as strong as Mason Fine's

throwing it a long way is one thing.... hitting your target is another... The delusion is now reaching epic proportions...they're starting to get into comparing their QB with Mason Fine

Fine has half the arm strength of their QB?

Maybe the got to see them today....

I believe the unis are usually unveiled on Wednesdays? Really looking forward to seeing it

anyone have the entire press conference?

Looking at the seat map We have a loooooooooong way to go

This is the game I've had circled on the schedule since it came out. I think La Tech is a good team. This will no doubt be the best team we've faced. Not the most talented....but I think the best team. A few thoughts: I think they played LSU tough....but I also think they're way overrating that game. LSU was coming off an emotional win vs Auburn with another SEC West game the next week. And less than half way through the 2nd quarter, LSU was already up 24-0. Then they let off and La Tech (being a good team) clawed their way back into it. Then LSU said...enough...and scored 14 unanswered. UNT's offense is much more potent than LSU's. This is our big game. We're not going to let up. Also, all of our games this year have been basically over in the 3rd quarter. We've annihilated everyone we've played and we haven't even put a full game together. Drops, unfocused at times. I think we'll come into this game more focused than we we have been all year. And we're at home. As for the defense. First game was: "SMU has a great offense, it's gonna be a shoot out" then we dominate. Then it was UIW and it was "their QB is good...we better be ready" then we dominate. Then it was Arkansas "That's SEC speed with a big ol offensive line" then we dominate. Then it was Liberty "This is the best QB we've faced all year...they scored 52 on ODU" then we dominate. I trust this defense I think Fine will be razor sharp I think we've found a running game now that we haven't had all year that La Tech is going to have to plan for. What are you going to focus on? Covering all our receivers? Stopping the run? Putting extra pressure on Fine? All of those leave another offensive strength open. I think we put a full game together, win and I think we win big UNT 48 La Tech 24

yes their show was yesterday https://www.texasfootball.com/texas-football-today/ gets to UNT a the one hour 2 minute mark Their knowledge and insight is really good. I really enjoy their show.

Wren already said they made changes to parking after the SMU game. Also....(I'm taking one for the team here) I'm not sure how many people realize, if you're coming from the south, you can exit NT Boulevard, cross over and enter the blue lot from the east side of the lot. There's little to no wait.... Going down to Bonnie Brae and coming in on the west side of the stadium is always more crowded. There are two entrances to the blue lot However, Wren specifically said they addressed the bonnie brae entrance to the blue lot after the first game so I expect improvement

that is an awfully quick exit out of the blue lot after the game....

https://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/bein-sports-reaches-new-deal-with-dish-and-sling-tv maybe att, directv and comcast can get a deal before next Saturday's game with UTEP

I know.... It just drives me nuts

What will it take to get the old way of thinking about buying tickets out of our collective minds? Why are you waiting until the last minute....these same people will whine about the crowd and how difficult it is to get into the stadium at 6:20pm. It can't get any easier to buy tickets. it takes 5 minutes to buy them and have the tickets on your phone.

yeah their D is good....seems that their offense has improved as well.. Should be a good game.

I believe it opened at UNT -7 Seeing it up to -8

Both schools are TRASH We should want more for our school than to have anything to do with either one of them
