Georgia may have the toughest four game sequence as any team when it comes to college football. The Bulldogs will have played three top 10 opponents in their first four weeks of the season. Georgia is even at 1-1 on the campaign, after a loss to Clemson to get things underway and a big South Carolina win in Week 2, with LSU looming next week after a fresh win over Auburn this Saturday. Put right in the mix of these great opponents is new Conference USA member North Texas for Georgia’s third game Saturday. Georgia will get North Texas right off a program rebounding win over Ball State last weekend. North Texas railed off a 34-27 come from behind win against Ball State last Saturday, after the team fell down to 20-3 before the start of the second quarter. North Texas kicker Zach Paul converted on 4-of-4 field goals, while Mean Green second year quarterback Derek Thompson threw for 274 yards and rushed for 72 yards, accounting for a touchdown both as a passer and runner.

The matchup to watch early will deal with Scott-Wesley going up against the No. 1 corner on defense for North Texas, Zac Whitfield. It’s paramount that fifth year senior Aaron Murray takes the same type of chances with his arm that he took overshadowing his counterpart Connor Shaw last time out, throwing for 309 yards and four touchdowns against the Gamecocks.

I just wish some of their fans actually did the research on UNT and presented themselves a little more classy. Entitled and arrogant. Looking forward to LSU beating them in a few weeks.

Who ever that fan(s) were, they obviously don't represent the bulldog nation. We are far from arrogant and never undermine a non conference opponent. As far as looking forward tp LSU beating us, don't hold your breath. It will be hard fought, but lets play the game before we decide if they can beat us. Looking forward to a good game, first time our schools have played. If you're going to the game, have safe travels.

That's why I said "Some". We have a lot of Georgia fans in our office. They represent what I suspect most UGA fans to be. Great, respectful, fans that take the time to read up on teams and not make assumptions that make them sound ignorant. By the way..I married into an LSU family so I am a T-Shirt Alum of LSU. Even considered LSU for my doctorate work. Believe me...I have met plenty of obnoxious LSU fans. I just don't have time for entitlement. One of the reasons why I love to see Texas getting a taste of their own medicine right now. Just distracts from the game.

We have ALL been on the losing end of games and know that feeling well. Truth is...EVERY team that is "someone" today has had to start somewhere and was not born great. So a UGA comment about our stadium being empty for the Ball State game is just a dig and arrogant. (referring to our boys being overwhelmed at your stadium). If anything, we have more experience than some with all of the SEC teams we have played on their home turf over the years...LSU being one of them. UNT football has a great history and a bright future and I will take the pain of what we have gone through over the years with losing and growing something special over some Big 12 or SEC team that has a sea of fans thinking their success started from the beginning. It's garbage. Ok...I'm done ranting. Here's to a great, injury free game. Go Mean Green!

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
