  1. UAB has a lot to play for <gulp> GMG

    https://sportschatplace.com/picks/college-football/north-texas-mean-green-vs-uab-blazers-11-30-19-ncaa-football-pick-odds-and-prediction

    This is an interesting matchup. It is senior day for North Texas and despite a 4-7 overall record, the Mean Green is 4-1 at home with the only loss coming against a tough Houston team. In fact, North Texas is averaging winning by 22.8 points per game in those four home wins. But UAB definitely has the motivation to not only win, but win impressively. With the Southern Miss and Louisiana Tech games starting just 30 minutes earlier, the Blazers won’t know the outcome of those games until late.

    Still, despite improvements from their opponent, we can at least say the Mean Green have been solid against teams with losing records. Their win over UTEP was comfortable and their win over UTSA was towering, so despite the line, we’re prepared to split the difference, provided they don’t sleep on the Owls, which they absolutely should not do. North Texas 35, Rice 27.

    Yup. Place is a dump. Imagine the potential at LaTexh if they had Apogee flopped right there on that plop of land. They'd be in serious business. 

    I was also surprised how empty the place was.  I get everyone was watching LSU but if we had their record and it was Homecoming, Apogee would have been standing room only.  GMG

  4. It was my first time going to Ruston.  Thoughts were:

    1) Parking is confusing and not clearly marked.  Parking lot staff didn't know where to direct other than "not here."  I found a small lot on the south side of the stadium and parked for $10, so that was OK.

    2) Concessions stands are a joke.  It took 15 minutes to pay for 2 waters and nachos because they didn't know how to operate the credit card machine.  Considering it's late in the season, I thought they would have that figured out by now.

    3) I thought the restrooms at Rice were old and out of date, but they are AT&T Stadium quality compared to what I saw yesterday.  Rust everywhere, no hot water, empty soap dispensers but at least the paper towels were full.

    3) The "event staff" had no idea where General Admission seating was located.  The gentleman even told me my ticket said GA and they don't have that section.  OMG...I figured it out.

    4) That video board sucks!  It's hard to see and way too loud.

    5) The pregame music was interesting.  I thought they would edit out the racist lyrics and curse words, but nah.

    6) The event staff and fans were nice.

    7) Our grey uniforms need to be burned.  They are ugly and bad luck IMO.  "Mean Green" but no green color...I don't get it.

    😎 The fall foliage in east Texas was beautiful!

     

    Good luck in Houston.  That game is on the NFL Network so I'm sure MF will put on a clinic for any curious eyes who may be watching.  GMG

  5. Maybe we'll get some help from UAB this weekend, and hopefully beat them in a few weeks.  GMG

     

    UAB at Southern Miss, 3:30 p.m. ET (Southern Miss -6.5)

    The timing of Southern Miss' offensive slump is a major problem, and shaking it against UAB will be tough. The Blazers allow just 5.8 yards per pass attempt, and USM quarterback Jack Abraham's two most recent outings were his worst of the season.

    Prediction: UAB 31, Southern Miss 24

    The Mean Green Club put together a tailgate in Ruston several years ago when it was still #olddenton.  Not sure how organized it was.  As I recall, they had a cooler of beer and a tray of Chic-Fil-A nuggets in the rain outside of a Dallas Cowboys themed shuttle van.  I found out later that same van was used to transport the MGRN home, but broke down on the way back to Denton.

     

    Picked up my tickets at Apogee today.  Section K, row 5.

    See you there!
