WKU at UNT

I think UNT will play much closer against WKU than some think. I compare your situation to WKU basketball in 2012. The players did not want to play for Ken McDonald. Our record was 5-11 when he was fired mid-season. We ended up 17-19 with a win in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. This could be a defining moment for UNT. I hope it is. I am sure the team will have some player-only meetings and this season will have some highlights still.

Thanks for the positive vibes. Looking forward to the game this week.

I'm looking forward to what we do with Chico Round 2.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope you're right, but if RV is around to make the next hire we are in big trouble.

They might score 100 on us if yesterday's team show up.

I'm just hoping that we don't beat a record that was set 99 years and 8 days prior.

Portland could've scored 100 yesterday if they'd wanted to. They really only played one half.

Big difference is that at least Mcdonald recruited well, and left Harper with good pieces to work with.

I hope you are right, but I think yall have close to 50 by halftime.

I think if Smith starts, plus the motivation we have from our coach just being fired, we will keep it close for a half. But WKU will pull away for a 48-27 victory.

If our team has given up to no return: WKU 62, UNT 6

Surely McNulty doesn't start another game right?

We'll find out if Mac imposed McNulty or if Chico thinks McNulty is really the best chance of winning.

Get your popcorn ready!

Before halftime or end of 3rd quarter?

Please be gentle.

It's already being reported that DaMarcus has the nod and is rolling with the 1s.

Vito is stating it as a "non fact" on his blog. Not my definition of a report, but to each their own.

If Smith starts, and if the team is motivated, so basically the opposite of yesterday, this game could be good. I doubt the defense improves much, so it could be a shootout.

UNTexas · October 12, 2015

I honestly don't know why Mac didn't give Smith a chance. You can't expect anyone to do well at anythingwhen you put them in with their back on the wall. McNulty is a Journeyman player but not a marque player. He's Weedon, not Romo. Cassel not Brady. I want to see Smith start the 1st snap to the last. Mac should have too.

Short week, fantastic opponent... I'm not expecting much.

I'd just like to see MUCH more effort, and hopefully some improvement (especially around offensive playcalling).
