I wanted to see UNO win the game last night B/C they knocked us out but I take comfort in the fact that ULL will represent the sunbelt well in the big show.

LA Laf gave Arizona all they could handle. I think they have a good shot at a first round upset.

I was watching ESPN when LaLa won and they gave them one of the highest upset ratings of the night and noted all of their close games with top 25 teams. They seemed to think that they would creep into the Sweet 16 and with some luck and excellent playing make it to the 8.

No way will ULL make it to the Sweet 16 or Elite 8. If they win one NCAA tourney game (very doubtful) that would be a huge accomplishment. (I don't care what the eSPN announcers might have said).

Remember ULL lost to US? Remember?

Prediction: ULL loses by between 15-25 points in the first round game.

Yes there are upsets in "The Big Dance." There just aren't ever any that are pulled off by teams from our league. The last time a Belt team won a first round game----1994.

And there have a been a lot of more recent Belt teams that are better reps than this year's ULL squad.

BTW, folks....I hope I have to eat these words. I pull for our conference mates. So, I hope you're right, I really do.

But, I still say ULL loses in round 1 and it won't even be close.

GMG AND GULL!

ULL has just as good a chance as any other team. There won't be many non power conference teams that played top 25 teams better than ULL did this season.

I think, after seeing who ULL drew in the first round, that they have a better shot, than I originally did. I personally think the ACC is over-rated this year. I think they can at least play with NC State for a while anyway.

Anyway, I sure hope that the Cajuns make us proud---would love to see them win at least one game.

That being said....I'll say NC State 73 ULL 66

We'll see if the ACC is overrated, but they DID dominate the other power conferences in November and December. I have 3 ACC schools in my Final Four predictions - though I have Stanford winning the Title.

I do not like how Lafayette matches up with State. I'm expecting a 73-60 type of score.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
