IF we beat Tech

[emmitt01]

Again, big IF…but if we manage to pull one out in Lubbock…we come back to DATCU to a crowd of 29k+ on the 21st against Wyoming

(Wyoming, by the way, just lost to Idaho)

You were there for the last win.  Have some faith.

We dont beat Tech if we played like we did Saturday.  Looks like SFA might have figured out our offense,  Three interceptions not good, 121 in penalty yards not good. The Defense played better tonight but I not sure how well it will hold up against Tech.  I hope we pull it out but we have to play a lot better.   Never seen so many illegal formation calls in a game and my favorite everyone is guilty for a false start except the guy hiking the ball....mmmmm.  As SL always said we have a lot of things to clean up.

12 point underdogs in an early line.  11:00 kickoff in Lubbock.  If going to the game, stop by Buddy Holley’s grave site.  I’ll give you directions here.  Nobody in Lubbock knows where it is.

If we hadn’t played so poorly yesterday, I’d be more hopeful. Penalties, turnovers, and some unfortunate injuries. I’m not as confident as I was a few days ago.  
 

Tech’s star RB was out yesterday. If he’s out again, we’ll have a better shot. We have to play better, though.

I’m excited about the opportunity at Tech. Games like that are the springboard programs need to take the next step… Here we are. We will learn a ton about this football team at Tech. Let’s get this!

I was there in Lubbock for the wins in 1988, 1997, 1999. Pretty awesome. We were underdogs and came to play.

We better get some bigger linemen.  I’ve never seen a UNT line abused more than last night.  Both sides of the ball.  Glad for the win.

This is finally our second chance after blowing that Arky win momentum and 4-0 start, and near sellout against LA Tech.

If we beat a struggling Tech team (and many of their fans on Twitter already suspect we could), we've got two more winnable home games in Wyoming and Tulsa before hitting the road against an FAU team that has looked really bad so far, too.

I think Wyoming will still be a good attended game anyway with it being Family Weekend. They're already pushing a sellout, and last year's Family Weekend crowd against Abilene Christian was still somehow better than the opener against a beatable P5 team despite the 58-21 dumpster fire.

Sadly, the history of our moments when we were at that "springboard to taking off" moment have been captured in video form:

And yet we held them to just over 2 yards a carry

I hear that Tech is having a down year. “Really bad” this year is how they were described.

[THOR]

and this confirms a loss...

[untphd]

Five take aways from tech's last loss

Wreck Tech!

I just watched Tech's press conference, and they didn't even talk about the upcoming game

The Ticket has spoiled me. I read the headline of this thread and all I hear is Norm screaming 😅

I can understand why they didn't!

I hope McGuire is safe as I don't want Morris being recruited away like McCasland.

I was thinking about that….

Morris has to really have a good year but if he does I would think that would be a no brainer for both parties. It would be more like McCasland getting Baylor I would think…. 
 

imagine this offense back at TT. I’m sure they miss those days.

I am going to go out on a limb... SFA gave us more trouble than what TX tech will do. ACU gave Tech trouble and the game went into OT. It's so UNT of our team to just blow an opportunity on a very winnable recognized name with a W over TT. But TT is really struggling this year.

6-0 going into Memphis would have me like

Someone's gotta pull something out of their ass. Soccer and volleyball are already a combined 0-7 against power conference schools this year.
