Geez. That seems high.  Is it supposed to rain?

 If the weather is decent, we cover. If we can make some stops, we win.  

High of 76° and clear skies

I would jump on this bet if I were a betting man. We match up well with them and are going to get them soon. Let’s do it Saturday. I see a 3 point game.

That’s really not an unreasonable spread.  We managed to find a way to win last night, but there are still some facts that can’t be denied

- Memphis is better than any team we’ve faced (excluding TTU)

- We still can’t run the football early in games

- We made a VERY average quarterback look like a world beater.  He had two, yes TWO, touchdown passes coming into yesterday.  He threw three against our secondary that was often not in the same zip code as receivers 

- We are on the road

- We don’t do a little thing called tackling

The toughest part of our schedule is coming up.  Hope the defense can rise to the occasion for 60 minutes and we play well in all three phases of the game.   Be nice if we can pick up some wins against quality opponents.

Okay. But if we fix all of this during the week, -12 is too high right?

I wish i had more time to dive into this stuff, but Memphis is a pretty good defensive team with a middle of the road offense that does a good job of protecting the ball (they've won the turnover battle in every game except against Navy). 

They don't really score that much and their recent game against USF was a defensive showdown. The Tigers took the opening kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown. Outside of that, they had another solid drive that ended in a missed FG, had a fumble recovery that led to a 30 yards TD drive and recovered another fumble in the endzone.  USF has a good defense, so i wouldn't expect them to play like that against us. But if we can get them into a shootout a la Navy, we might have a chance. 

Hopefully with the ideal weather conditions are offense will be able to find it's way on Saturday, this is the first good defense we are playing against.

      Softball versus USF---Three Final Home Games Of The Season

      Lose Game 1, 4-2. Down 4-0 in the 7th.....we made it interesting. Had two on, two outs with Maddie Conley at the plate. Great defense in this game.....by both teams. Difference in the game.......their ace was an ace. And their closer was a closer. (both very hard to hit). Game 2 tomorrow at 2. Go Mean Green!

      We may have seen the glory days of UNT basketball

      Didn't we have zero Q1 wins that year? I think that was the year I really started to see how much they (Q1 wins) weigh into big considerations. Where do I find archived NET rankings/Quad records?

      Harris/Brown Transferring

      Yeah, include Kavanaugh and the majority of P5 in this. This is all meant to tailspin - rapidly - into a breakup. Let's just get on with it. Find out who wants to play under the old rules, get together and compete under a more reasonable setup. The UTs and Bamas of the world can have their own league. F them. Just to clarify, I'm not against the premise of this. Fair compensation, I can support. But the current setup is (from a standpoint of competitiveness and traditions) comically bad and, has already been stated, is not financially sustainable. There are, what, 5 schools that can continue down this path indefinitely? Afford to bleed money like this? Even Yale-bred Kavanaugh can see this. The idea that a player gets to a school, mid term, gets some NIL money, and then gets poached at the last second to another school for a second bag of NIL cash, without ever playing a down for the first school. What a circus.

      UNT Basketball Hires Deshon Parker As Assistant Coach

      DENTON – UNT men’s basketball head coach Daniyal Robinson hired on Friday Deshon Parker as an assistant coach to his first Mean Green staff. Parker, who was a standout player for Robinson at Cleveland State, comes to North Texas after being on Robinson’s coaching staff last season at his alma mater CSU where he was the youngest DI assistant coach in the nation. Last year at Cleveland State, Parker helped lead the Vikings to a 23-win season, which was the program’s most single season wins in 14 years. CSU finished second in the Horizon league standings and was the 2025 CBI runner up. Parker was instrumental in Cleveland State earning nine all-conference honors that season. A tremendous defensive player himself, Parker was critical in the development of two Vikings players earning Horizon All-Defensive Team honors in 2025. Parker joined Robinson’s Cleveland State staff in 2024 after playing one professional season in the country of Georgia for BC Sokhumi in the Georgian Superliga. That season he made the Georgian Superliga First Team honor as he averaged 18.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. He is a 2023 graduate of Cleveland State. As a senior for the Vikings, Parker played for Robinson who was in his first season as CSU’s head coach. Parker helped lead the Vikings that year to 21 wins and were the runner ups in the 2023 Horizon Conference Tournament. As a senior Parker averaged 9.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. Parker was voted at the end of the year to the Horizon All-Defensive team. In total Parker played in 150 collegiate games and made 126 starts. He scored 1,004 career points, had 481 career assists and 409 career rebounds. A native of Huber Heights, Ohio, Parker graduated from Wayne High School in 2018. He led the Warriors as a senior to a 26-2 overall record and to the Division I OHSAA state quarterfinals where they lost to eventual state champion Archbishop Moeller. Parker has five siblings. His older brother Demond played collegiately at DII Cedarville and is on the men’s basketball staff at Florida Atlantic.
