Get to denton early and swing by the Union, I bet they have items discounted.. even if it’s shirt sleeve you can likely wear it for a bit then cover it up when it gets chilly

Hoping this doesn’t come off as criticism but as something to potentially add.. Have y’all ever announced home games for other sports during football season like Vball or soccer? Not saying discuss them but just say at the end of the podcast sport xyz has a home game(s)?

Has picked up an offer from Marshall and looks like ULL May have offered as well

They have multiple signs up around the athletic complex.. 1 at light by North Texas Blvd., one by the Bridge on the access road, the one vito posted, and one in the parking lot of the athletic complex.. if you can make it up to the game

He is DFW and played with kershaw and Kluber

119th in PPG allowed.. the FAU game was the 13 highest offensive yardage game since 2000.. lol 14 scoring plays allowed over 35 yards.. 10 passing and 4 rushing lol

The thing was about CUSA standings.. and figured it was overall record...

Isn't USM is 5-2 and we are 4-3.. So they should be ahead but if we end up with the same record then we are on top.. Or am I missing something?

Effort implies that they can just flip a switch... They made and effort vs SMU when they decided to respond on offense and actually hold on defense... They flipped that switched vs UAB (from good to bad with UAB scoring most in the 2nd half) and USM (from trash in the 1st half to shutdown in the 2nd).. Hell they flipped that switch vs UTSA on the last UTSA possesion... Mindset is about the cockiness and thinking no one can hold them. They think they can have a pool party and just walk into FAU to play a game when in reality they rolling over and just went into the fetal position hoping LK and KB would take it easy on them which is what this team did... The offense responded (at times) but by that time it was pointless and was just hey, lets pad stats since it was not about getting game experience (since guys who play very little did not play)... 41-7 doesn't scream we made an effort when you're on the losing end at halftime... even scoring 24 in the 2nd half was not much of an effort when FAU scored 28 and put in a WR at QB the last few drives.. We can say the offense was PART of the problem but im sorry, not many offenses can go out and score on 10 straight offense drives. Teams will go 3 and out or have a turnover but this defense allowed FAU to score on 10 STRAIGHT offense drives. This defense got bullied and beaten from the first snap of the game of the game and they have no excuse for that.. If this defense got tired, why did they not call a timeout? why did they not fake an injury, again how do I as a fan know this but yet NO ONE on the defense knows/thinks this.. This offense has pulled ALOT more weight than this defense and if you haven't noticed that, then you need to re-evaluate... We have no idea why SL left is Fine, and it was pointless to leave him if you wanted him to prove he could perform without quitting.. The kid is and was banged up from UTSA (recall the last hit he took??)... Fine just needed 1 hit and he blows out a knee, gets a nasty concussion, re-rolls an ankle etc... Fine proved he can perform without quitting at SMU... He proved that vs UTSA on the luck drive.. He has proven it multiple times.. The difference between SMU and FAU is that SMU was the 2nd game of the season (and you have weeks for him to come back), this is mid-season and you are in the drivers seat for the West.. YOU DO NOT RISK FINE WHEN DOWN 5 (nearly) TOUCHDOWNS AT HALF TIME, to try and find out something... Fine was not the problem at FAU, nor has he been the problem at all this year, and now if Fine goes down we have a back up QB who has gotten 2 plays vs Iowa, 2/3 drives vs Lamar and 3 handoffs vs WKU and a True-Freshman with 0... FAU was the prime time to get Quinn in, when SL has talked about the leadership and abilities of the young man. The 10 point W for UNT predcition is sad because it should be A LOT BIGGER than 10. This defense needs to have a solid game vs UTSA and an abortition of game vs FAU.. They need to hold ODU to under 20, ideally under 400 (hopefully 300) yards, and get MULTIPLE INTs and Fumbles.. If they go out and have an UAB performance and not a 2nd half USM performance, this defense is lost and has been exposed... They need to have a 2nd half USM performance to restore any confidence from a vast # of fans...

@Rubicon try contacting @meangreen_2015 and he maybe able to help you out...

No one has heard... They had rumors/ people saying he would hopefully be back around UAB/UTSA.. At this point its a regular question at the press conference the past few weeks, but he did travel to FAU for the game.. He is walking (with the boot) now and has for the past week... The kid has sat out 2 years, and he should play when he is able to play.. Get the rust off this year,even if it is a few games and let him roll next year...

I was not going to go into since this thread is about the ODU score predicions, but since you brought it up.. It was not just "effort", its the mindset... It was UNT being cocky, saying we are in 1st.. We just beat UTSA and we can beat anyone.. They got ran out of the damn stadium and only wanted to be at the pool and not at the game... Other games this year? Dude we gave up 43 to UAB, we gave up 50+ to SMU and we had effort then!?! That blowout L is on everyone from SL and the coaching staff down to player 105 on the roster, ... That was a MAJOR game (and it was known to be important for multiple weeks), and these guys are posting up selfies of them at the pool chilling instead of getting focused on the game.. Alabama plays in a MAJOR game every single week and has for YEARS, but yet this team gets a big head after 3 wins vs UAB, USM and UTSA. We win 3 games in a row and these guys don't think they need to give 100%? Of the guys on the roster, outside of the 2017 class ALL of them have a LOSING CAREER RECORD.. Yes the effort sucked, but dear lord someone grow a pair and man up and TAKE CHARGE and have some damn pride in yourself, your team, the staff, and the school for crying outloud.. UNT manned the hell up vs SMU after giving up what, 38 straight and finally did something about it (in trash time) but yet in FL they just said rolled over and let FAU use and abuse them, when the SMU game meant nothing compared to the FAU game.. We can try and find stats to say we are good here and there, but from the eye test.. This defense is BAD... Its 109 in the NATION... it gave up a CUSA record for offense, in a conference that is known for OFFENSE with some of the worst teams and defenses in the nation (Charotte, Rice, UTEP)! This defense has REGRESSED and its 2 best players are not producing.. 1 is on the bench, and the other is the 3rd best safety... Lets hope to god they don't give up 69 and 800 again because they shouldn't vs ODU, UTEP, Rice, or Army. Heck we should not give up more than 20 points to any of them, nor should they gain more then 3/400 total yards. People have talked about giving this defense time in the system, but yet this is year 2, 20 games compared to FAU that is in year 1... Heck our defense was better in Year 1 than Year 2 by ALOT (yes still a lot of season left but you aren't likely going to jump 40-50 spots now to just get back close to last years). I will repeat myself, this defense CAN NOT (hopefully) do any worse.... The defense will be facing 3 of the weakest (if not the weakest) teams left in conference play with Army as well not being an offensive powerhouse either... 4 of the 5 remaining games are vs teams that UNT should flat out beat down if this defense can do ANYTHING... The offense is not the problem, nor has ST been the problem the past 4 games compared to the defense... Again this is when we find out the mindset of the this team.. The only thing they have earned is a place in the history books as the worst defensive performance in CUSA history... PS- My prediction UNT wins along the lines of something like 42-31.. Defense if you wanna impress hold them to 3 scores and get 3+ turnovers via INT or Fumble Recovery..

Yes our offense has been good, but you have to have the higher score to win.. If our defense is just going to be a swinging gate allowing anyone to score then we could be in trouble... The games are not played on paper, and we should not have lost by 38 to FAU... Yes UNT should win this game.. Yes the UNT offense is better, Yes the UNT Defense needs a bounce back game.. Yes the UNT offense is facing a true-freshman QB... But again, not going to get off topic, but this team will only have as much success as this defense.. They have struggled and are in need of a bounce back game.. Again this W rests on the defense and our DC, who has struggled more than he has had success... If you look back at the post i quoted at first... and my comment towards @Travis was about lacking confidence in our DC since he we are #109 in the nation.. Never said that would perform again like last week.. But by Travis saying the ODU defense is bad, I replied saying I haven't seen it give up records like our defense has...

I haven't seen ODU give up a conference record in terms of yardage... nor have they give up 60+ compared to high of 69 (They only gave up 58 to FAU)....

They take multiple questions from facebook.. not just 1 or 2..

Because our DC has crap game plans for most of the season...

I'm going to guess something similar will be happening.. Also, Fort Sill (Lawton, OK) is actually closer to Denton than Fort Hood (Killeen, TX) but only by about 30-40 miles

You can send in questions on Facebook as well... Post it here and I bet someone can ask for you... Heck bring it up and Vito may even ask it...

I would not say that is improvement... but seems fitting with the Year 2 defense of Reff

I would agree, but I think most people are beyond that now... If GH did leave, Meacham has experience with this offense, has recruited here (and likely helped recruit Tune to KU, before he decommited), and has some likely track-records that would be appealing to recruits as well...

If GH leaves and Meacham is canned... Would be a nice bounce back in Denton potentially...

He went back and updated/changed it after I had posted.. and tagged him directly in this own articles thread here.. People have said they would break ground once the season was over.. which hopefully they do it get it up ASAP

He played and was in going to assume, he had a safety rolled his way.. No I’m not, and I’m serious Guyton played.. The hit Guyton took was in the 2nd Qtr.. it was nothing compared to what Darden took, and on the play you are talking about it’s about 6:45 in the video and Guyton is running the drag route from the bottom to the up of the screen.. Guyton is on the first play and continued to play throughout the game.. (around 45-55 seconds you see #9 with the 1 arm sleeve)

It’s a Blackout so they should

Are you being serious? He did play because he took a hit and people worried about him..
