As we approach ever so closer to Saturday I’m not quite sure what I am feeling, am I nervous or excited? Perhaps it’s more like nervous anticipation. Well whatever it is I’m pretty tired of hearing predictions of what UNT will look like. I’m tired of the guessing I’m ready to see this team with my own eyes. I’m ready to not have to rely on second hand sources or the coaches. Don’t get me wrong I love the way our coaches talk. Honestly though would you expect them to say we suck? I know there are plenty of people out there who have reservations about this team. I’m not really feeling ill-will towards to those people because we all know that UNT hasn’t really given us a reason to make those reservations go away.

We’ve had a long time to stew about the QB position. Even though Derek was chosen, I’m not quite sure he made it an easy decision. I’m not sure any guy stood out or really separated. Who knows maybe the competition was just that good, and that’s why it took so long to pick a QB. Let’s all hope it was the later of the two.

Also I’m not quite sure what to expect from Idaho. New coach and new scheme. You just never know how they will respond in the first game. It also doesn’t help that UNT really doesn’t have a previous game to help them prepare.

Finally I think there is no real way to predict how much better this team has gotten. I hope that they have truly gotten better. I hope we get to see a bigger faster stronger team on Saturday night. A team that will help ease our concerns from the offseason. At least until we travel up to Ohio next week.

What are you guys feeling out there?

I feel really good about the game. Mac teams always seem to play better at home and this is an opponent that we should be able to match up against. I think we will field a deeper team and in the heat this should make a difference.

I am very optimistic about this season. Hope I am right. DT has apparently proven himself to the coaches to get the nod. If he doesn't perform well against Idaho then move on to other options. He has stuck around through some tough times and I think he deserves a shot in his senior year. I think this team has the talent to turn the corner.

      A few HSO's

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.

      Those schools you mentioned have already reached out to The Big 12. Also Louisville and Pitt have 100+ year historic rivalries with Cincy and WVU respectively. Keg of Nails and Backyard Brawl will both be owned by the Big 12 soon enough.

      If they wanted to join the ACC, they would have joined with Cal and Stanford. We already tore the Pac 12 apart, the ACC is next.
