I know, right! Freakin' "experts"

Here's what these guys think...

Looks good for us...

And, here's how they feel about the CUSA Tourney...

Things are looking good for a 20-1 record before facing off ODU at the end of the month...

PA announcement after 2nd down on offense: "Mean Green fans, it's 3rd down so please go to the restroom or concessions - thank you for your support!"

I agree...maybe put some crowd "do's & dont's" on the Apogee scoreboard before the game begins and during halftime. Since the fan base is growing, and there will probably be more people attending in 2019. So, it's probably a good idea to remind folks who are newer to the game of how to act.

https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/dallas-cowboys/cowboys/2019/01/02/dak-prescott-expecting-epic-environment-saturday-night-att-stadium-one-request-cowboys-fans This story reminded me of a post from early in the football season about how MF tries to get the Apogee crowd quiet when we have the ball. It was something about when he motions his arms, he's not flapping like and eagle but trying to get fans to settle down. Too funny!

Hookers??? No wonder kids take longer and longer to graduate...

https://sportschatplace.com/college-basketball-picks/2019/01/03/north-texas-vs-louisiana-tech-1/3/19-college-basketball-pick-odds-and-prediction North Texas will be a nice challenge, as they’ve been rolling pretty much the entire year. I like this one to be a fairly close game, with the Mean Green eking out a cover in the end.

Nice showing by CUSA...

It's made out of concrete stone, so that place is built like a fortress. In the event of a nuclear war, head over to Ave D for shelter. I still remember turning on the oven and leaving the door open to warm the place up before the actual heat was turned on. Damn those were some cold days sometimes!!!!

While a couple of the greyshirts enjoyed great careers, the majority of them flamed out.

If you don't mind a few hours drive in very scenic country, fly into Reno instead for a long weekend. Tahoe and Wine Country is great to see...

From BustingBrackets.com Thursday, Jan. 3 Speaking of two of CUSA’s non-conference winners, these two will meet to kick off league play. While the Herd and Monarchs battle in Norfolk, the Bulldogs and Mean Green will be playing in Denton on Thursday. North Texas’ only loss occurred at now-ranked Oklahoma, and 10-3 Louisiana Tech opened the season with a double-digit win at Wichita State. The Bulldogs also kept it close at the Maravich Center against in-state rival LSU. Both teams are led by balanced scoring with eight players scoring in double digits per game between the two teams. This one should be fun.

Pretty even match-up...GMG

It's from www.teamrankings.com. They'll email the latest standings (according to their models) after each game.

Since he's out in the woods, shouldn't he have on some face paint for camouflage?

Hopefully, it's a blow out win (and we get some payback for football)...
