Just thought of this, and how the Rice game is somewhat meaningless to us...

Does SL roll with the backups? I would be play Quinn and all of the true-freshman as well (the ones that have already played and not burning anyones RS). Allow anyone and everyone that is banged up to rest up and recover. 

Hopefully the staff could then pitch to kids in the HOU area on the ability to come to UNT and get a solid amount of playing time.

No.  But if there are players that need to rest, then rest them.  Otherwise you gotta keep the train going.

Every win is meaningful. And I expect it would help get us to a better bowl somehow.

Probably not. The best bowl we can hope for is HOD, and we are already a shoo in. Independence Bowl hasn't sniffed us, and neither has the New Orleans Bowl. The New Mexico Bowl has interest in us but I don't think we do in them.

Long as it is not the one Army is in. Have had way too much of them.

Armed Forces people don’t want an Army UNT match up.. the people that run the Armed Forces, also run HoD...

UTSA is likely bound to Fort Worth

Independence Bowl reps were confirmed to  there around at least hour and a half before the game and I was told a few other bowl reps were floating around later. 

 

All wins are important as they go toward a final record that in one way or another are used to grade a team. Even if it history or recruits. Rice needs to be a victory. I also think if we beat Rice and FAU we might have some votes in the top 25 heading into a bowl game.  If we don't take Rice and dominate we won't. I figure votes in the top 25 have to help our coaches recruit.

The Rice game is FAR from meaningless. I want a chance at an 11-3 record and a slip in for a ranked spot for the first time since the 70's. Also, I doubt that it will happen, but I wouldn't cry if we played in FW against Army once again. I'd prefer something different, but the house would be close to packed.

Half for Fine. Keep him fresh, get the ball out quick, heavy dose of Andrew Tucker since it's his last regular season game and probably his last chance for significant PT, and get a lot of guys in the game in the second half. But when Fine is in, make damn sure your best line is in and you're doing everything you can to keep him upright.

If you want to be ranked, you will have to put up some VERY LOPSIDED Ws vs FAU and a solid bowl match up.... Going to go out and say we are MOST likely not going to be ranked... 11-3 would improve our starting ranking next year, but I personlay would rather see this team get healthy and play the young guys who have not played much... Rice should not be much of a match up and not worth the potential injury to someone that will be needed vs FAU, and in the Bowl game.

FAU from what I have seen, has not gotten any top 25 votes and they have been very impressive with who they have beaten, and how they have beaten them...

Agreed... With Guyton, Wilson injures is it worth a chance at the CUSA championship and Bowl game? Honestly Rice is the least important of the 3 remaining games.

11-3 and we are either ranked or a top vote getter. Depends on our bowl opponent of course, but I would bet on our hitting 25th at 11-3 and a bowl win over someone with  "decent name recognition." Also, Rice is a big game in many ways, and they tend to play us tough. No one wants cripples out on the field, but we need to throw our healthy best out there.

I swear you have posted this exact same thing before.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      as mentioned in another thread, three pretty easy wins last night (11/19) for Rice, Tulane and Charlotte. Evansville lost 80-30 to Ohio State. UNI won. not all, but the most interesting games coming up: tonight (11/20) - not a ton...Tulsa host UALR (who already blew out UTSA), but if Tulsa is any good should take care of. 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next) ; Oregon State host Oregon ; Houston Christian v. Rice ; ECU v. Jacksonville State (3 day tourney...would play Toledo or Stetson next) 11/22 - Utah State v. Iowa and St. Louis v. Wichita State (same venue, but not a tourney) ; McNeese v. Illinois State and UAB v. Longwood (same side of bracket) ; Temple v. Florida State ; ECU/FAU game 2 of 3 11/23 - Temple v. UMASS 11/24 - High Point v. Missouri State (3 day tourney...would play ODU or Boston College next) there will be more games 11/23 and 11/24 as some of these tournaments shake out, but definitely some interesting games starting tomorrow

      Texas Wesleyan (11/21/24)

      Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete. The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.
