Excuse me. I have donated $$$ to the program for a number of years & have a President's Council Plate sitting on my desk. I was a season ticket holder for years and traveled over 400 miles to several games a year or had someone in my seats when I couldn't. Haven't been up for a game since 2010 due to my health, but NT still accepts my money. I've earned the right and I'll post what I please, when I please thank you.

Kinda hard to travel at 78 when your doctor won't let ya.

One game at a time.............Next up Southern Miss.

Looks like someone started another negative thread before their brain fully engaged. Congrats Mean Green on the WIN !

North Texas (3-3/1-1 CUSA) at Louisiana Tech (2-4/1-1), 2:30 p.m. Saturday, CBSSN > Why my confidence is medium: When Sonny Dykes left Louisiana Tech after the 2012 season, he took the offense with him to Cal. Almost literally. Louisiana Tech ranked first in the nation in both total offense and scoring offense last year. This year, La Tech has dropped to 80th and 105th, respectively, in those categories. Cal, on the other hand, has improved its ranking by 45 spots, moving up to 23rd this year after finishing 68th in 2012. The loss of all that offense has been a tough pill to swallow for La Tech, but it's been a relief for every team on its 2013 schedule. North Texas will be the beneficiary this week. The running game showed its first signs of life last week; that paired with much-improved quarterback play (Derek Thompson is on pace for more yards, TDs and a higher QB rating this year) will get North Texas above the .500 mark this week. > Key stat: 1, the number of 100-yard games by a UNT rusher this year, the first which came from Brandin Byrd (20-139, TD) in last week's 34-7 win against Middle Tennessee State, after the team had four last season. North Texas rushed for 303 yards last week, more than it gained in the previous three games combined. > The mob says: North Texas by 6.5 > So says I: North Texas 28, Louisiana Tech 24 http://www.texasfootball.com/college-news/view/180594

How some of the the so-called experts see our next six games. Massey http://www.masseyratings.com/team.php?t=5584&s=199231 RealTimeRPI http://realtimerpi.com/football/ncaaf_1104_Men.html?North+Texas CollegeFootballPoll http://www.collegefootballpoll.com/analysis_cusa_ntex.html

Best linebacker: Zach Orr, North Texas A quick word: One of the most underrated players in the state, Orr's 55 tackles in six games puts him on pace for a second-straight 100-tackle season. That number is the second most for any player in Texas. Orr has added 3 TFLs, 3 QB hurries, 2 forced fumbles and a sack in his final season in Denton. http://www.texasfootball.com/college-news/view/180586

My QB’s of the Week Bo Wallace, Ole Miss • Derek Thompson, North Texas • Adam Kennedy, Arkansas St QB Bo Wallace (Ole Miss) – After consecutive losses the Rebels need to get back on their feet this week vs Texas A&M. Their best opportunity for a win here would be by riding their dual-threat QB Bo Wallace who is off a 336 yd passing game last week against Auburn. Wallace can also be a ground threat with 3 rushing td’s on the year with double-digit carries in 4 of Ole Miss’ 5 games. The Aggies have a suspect defense to say the least allowing 483 ypg on the road this season so we like Wallace’s chances. QB Derek Thompson (North Texas) – The Middle Tenn secondary has been vulnerable to the pass so far this season allowing 300+ yds in 3 contests this season. Toss in a QB in Derek Thompson who just passed for his 2nd 300 yd game of the season last week vs Tulane and you have an excellent Surprise Fantasy QB this week. Over the past 3 games Thompson has attempted 42 passes per game and we expect more of the same. QB Adam Kennedy (Arkansas St) – While Adam Kennedy has just a 3-2 ratio on the season, we like his chances here against an Idaho defense that has allowed 537 ypg this season including an amazing 734 yds in their 61-14 loss to Fresno St. Kennedy meanwhile has completed at least 20 passes in each of his L/4 games (37-46-318 in their last game vs Mizzou) while also showing his dual-threat ability with double-digit carries in 3 of the L/4. Look for Kennedy to surpass the 300-yard pass mark here and quite possibly throw for as many td’s vs the Vandals as he has thrown for the full season. Read more…

One game at a time please. Just focus on Tech.

Seems that the two high profile QB transfers ,Berglund and Scotty Young at LA Tech, have kinda faded away.
