The problem with predictions, especially in sports, is that there are usually no consequences.  Since no one tracks performance, and no is held accountable for those predictions, actually being able to predict successfully falls waysides to who can be the loudest and most ostentatious.  For example see the state of ESPN today.  So lets make it interesting.  

 

@Ben Gooding and @UNT90 obviously want to soak up all the prognosticator credit if their predictions come true.  So if we get to six wins next year Ben Gooding will be named GoMeanGreen.com Master Predictor.  If we fail to get 3 wins, UNT90 gets the title.

However there has to be tracking and accountability.  If the team fails to get to six wins, Ben gets banned from the board.  Same thing goes for UNT90 if the team gets to three wins.

 

What say you master predictors?  You in?

Out.

Unless you care to throw down a prediction and ban yourself if you are wrong...

Na. Even then, still out.

I think Rick Villareal has a big year.

The comical thing is that some of you are so delusional, that you truly believe you know what in the hell you're talking about

Doubtful. My flags will fly in distress until Rick Villarreal is fired. That's if I'm at the tailgate.  And this is a 3 win team. Tops. A lot of people are going to be disappointed when SMU

Frustrated at losing and watching a pass happy offense that can't stay on the field @MeanGreenMailbox or @FirefightnRick yell "Run the damn ball!" within earshot of the coaches.

Nothing else happens because, at the end of the day, SL knows he's right.

Again...Littrell knows when to run in these offenses; Dodge didn't.  If we were six inches from the goal line, Dodge was going to have the QB in the shotgun, throwing. 

Littrell himself led Oklahoma in touchdowns in 1999, the Sooners first year in the spread:  seven rushing, one receiving.  So, I doubt we have the same red zone problems with him that we did with Dodge.  Remember, Littrell was the odd-man-out fullback in a Mike Leach spread system, but he still thrived.

His senior year, 2000, the Sooner's last national title season, Leach had left, but Mark Mangino was still running a spread and again a back, Quentin Griffin, OU in touchdowns with 17 - all rushing - and was leading receiver with 51 catches!

So, again...and again and again and again...Littrell lived in this type of offense as a player.  He knows when to run and when not to run.  Dodge didn't. He was going to force his high school spread offense come hell or high water. 

Furthermore, we won't be on the losing end much, so there won't be anything to complain about expect the butteriness, or lack thereof, of the popcorn,

So, accountability is for suckers?   You really should stop boasting about the times you were right, when the times you are wrong don't carry any weight.

I really haven't made a persona out of being the one who is always right and how hard it is to always be the one who is right and everyone is against you.

Do you really have that much lack of an understanding of sarcasm? 

I mean, I'm right a lot, and it is #mystruggle, 

but it's also a joke.

Good God, people.

Ah yes, Sarcasm and Text Based Media.  Goes together like peanut butter and iron shavings.

Ain't gonna lie, it's fun to see people twist off when I point out when I was right. 

But this is college athletics we talkin bout here. Any F'n thing can happen.

Except I'm ACTUALLY right.

So I guess you can say I'm actually what Stephen A. Smith believes himself to be...

I'm in. If UNT doesn't win 6 games this year you can ban "Ben Gooding." There is my accountability for you.

I wish the past athletic leaders at UNT held as much accountability with their jobs as Ben is with his GMG profile....

UNT90 would never do that. GMG.com is his insulin to his diabetes.

But you don't know whether or not after the season is over and he has lost the bet if Ben will blame it all on Northern Arizona.

Patience, young grasshopper.

      When The Portal Opens

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
