College Gameday N.O Bowl predictions

[Marty]

Desmond Howard, Herbstreit, and Corso all pick Troy. Guest Rob Riggle picks North Texas only because he liked Sinbad in Necessary Roughness.

Don't think any of them has a clue.

They know Troy beat LSU....

Corso never has anything good to say about North Texas. When he was coach at Louisville, we used to whip them like a red-headed step child!

[MattMakesLoans]

They’re not wrong about Sinbad.

He's pretty cool, I guess.

I expect everyone to pick Troy over NT for this game.

Unfortunately, they saw Troy beat LSU & win their conference.  Then they saw UNT get smashed by FAU.

I think they do have a clue.

Who ever has the ball last wins by 3.

[Rudy]

That's not a shocker. We haven't built up the respect yet. We are still too far on the negative category on respect.  They're just now calling us by our correct name and using the current logo.

Screw them.

[tmjerm]

They weren’t taking any of those picks seriously, which is fine...we will have to earn all that.  If our program just keeps its nose to the grindstone and winning games it’ll get noticed eventually.  I don’t think that particular piece of tv had much sway with recruits one way or another.

Few weeks ago, all of them, including Bear, picked Army to beat us.

Just like everyone picked army, or Southern Miss, or UTSA, or LA Tech, or etc........

Exactly.   Our guys have no problem entering a game as underdogs.  They believe in themselves, their system, and their abilities.

Army’s win today likely helped us look even better.  Unfortunately, they made their picks & the publications made their bowl rankings before that game shook out.

Keep this thing close in the 4th Quarter, & we win.  No doubt.

[UNT 90 Grad]

Good bulletin board material.  We don’t need the players being overconfident in this one.  Keep it coming.

I’ve met him a few times in the last few years. He really is a nice guy. A real family man as well.

The picture I posted was at Dan's Silverleaf from a 35 Denton of a few years ago. We booked his daughter Paige Bryan to perform the festival and were pleasantly surprised when he showed up to support her and hang out.

I'm not surprised by their predictions. When your defense plays mostly terrible against non-bottom feeder teams, it's expected that you will lose against a once ranked Troy.

Did any of those guys beat LSU and win their conference?

Do you mean this year, or...?

[untcampbell]

I am taking NT in the confidence pool I play every year. Other than the guest picker referenced above, I haven't found a single prediction for an NT win. And I am feeling pretty good about my pick (not 39 point pick confidence...that is going to FAU...but confident). Just as my politics, I like the contrarian view, a very good stance for NT fans.

I predict UNT will win the New Orleans bowl.  This has been an incredible year for Mean Green Football, and you now represent the State of Texas in Conference USA during bowl season.  All of CUSA Texas schools (including my alma mater, UTSA) are rooting for UNT come Saturday vs. Troy.  I believe the Eagles will go in fired up, having fun, and scoring a lot of points in the win.

All the best, and congratulations on a great season.

It’s cause they all have a man crush on Troy’s coach. It’s sort of like how they want to say ‘Manny Diaz’ a lot. It’s impossible to understand. Also gross.
