untjim1995, I love your avatar pic! That would be the great Bill Blakeley -- ACU class of 1956 and a member of the ACU Sports Hall of Fame. Thanks for highlighting one of my favorite all-time Wildcats!!

I can't imagine that any ACU football fan holds any hope of us beating UNT -- I was at the game at Troy when we beat them a few years ago and I never imagined we could stay close to them. We are not as woeful as some on the board might think (like our friend MCMLXXX just posted), but we are realistic about how we will do in this game. ACU's task is give the Mean Green enough of a game to keep from being embarrassed and keep their starters on the field longer than the UNT coaches wish to see them. I undoubtedly think you are better than the Baylor team we faced last year. But, this year's ACU team appears to be considerably better than last year's team that finally found its footing after the UIW game -- going 4-2 after that game. The current 20.5 point spread is actually being a little kinder to ACU than I might have expected. If we can keep it to 20 points, I will be thrilled. So, being biased toward ACU, I will hope for a 41-21 score. And, as you can tell from my moniker, I am a huge track and field fan. It this was a dual meet between the Mean Green and ACU track teams, it would be a completely different story, particularly for the men's team.

I am actually a disappointed in the sales of the ACU tickets -- we sold 3,000 tickets to the Baylor game last year and ended up with about 4,000 people in purple at the game. A fair number of ACU fans bought tickets on other sites than from the ACU allotment for your game to get better seats. You may end up with 1,000-1,200 ACU fans in purple this Saturday.
