Memphis drew 25K in the rain vs MTSU 2 weeks ago.  This weekend will be sunny and 76 degrees, perfect weather.

The good news is half their stadium is gone (renovations), thus limiting the crowd on one side...

We have a 4-18 record against them.  We beat them in 1952, 1977, 1978, and 1980. We never beat them in the MVC days.  In 1952, we were in the Gulf Coast Conference. In '77, '78, and '80, we were independent.

We played them close the last two years, but found a way to lose.  Two pick sixes and a last second touchdown have cost us two games.  Close, but no win.

They get to talk all the crap they want until we prove otherwise.

NTSU? Let’s kick their ass for disrespecting us; I read the stat's, we have a good chance at winning this game. UNT fans show up in Memphis and let’s have the last laugh!!!

Just call them Memphis State. It may not make them call us UNT, but it will even things.

I think we have a fighters chance.  It will probably depend on turnovers.

Sadly we have not done well at generating turnovers. Per the NCAA website, we're tied for 94th with 1 fumble recovered and 5 interceptions. Memphis is tied for 12th with 8 fumbles recovered and 4 interceptions. Two of those fumbles were against Florida State who fumbled a punt return and kickoff return. The only game Memphis has lost, against Navy, is the only game they haven't generated a turnover.

I'm hopeful we'll run a 3-4 and pressure Hennigan some. Need to make people uncomfortable if you want them to make mistakes.

Nothing disrespectful about NTSU.  Just not the current name.  Embrace our heritage, not Memphis fan ignorance and stupidity.

Fumbles are generated by being physical on defense.  That we are not.  We drag tackle and try to bump people down.  At least we are gap sound for now and I'm happy about that.  We can work on physical, but that is the primary reason we don't create turnovers.

Agree and disagree.  We're definitely doing a lot of "bump" tackles without any kind of wrap-up.  That works fine on the sideline.  I have seen some efforts at trying to strip the ball, although I'm often annoyed at seeing that because it is what often creates the extra 4-7yd runs where we're pulling at the ball but they're dragging us down the field while we're doing it.  Size may be a factor in that.

Also notable about our overall record vs Memphis is that from 1960 to 1975 we played them 14 times and lost all of them.  We couldn't beat them, even in the Joe Greene/Steve Ramsey era.  We skipped playing them in 76, and then in 77/78 Hayden Fry broke the curse.

Man, that's a lot of losing. 😂 Thank you for enlightening me.

I've been saying about 3 prayers a day for a week, that the Defense has seriously worked on Tackling Techniques on the field and in the film room.  Poor technique anomalies happen from time to time.  But we're 8 weeks into the season....Need to see good technique from the first quarter, not wait until halfway into the third to figure things out....

Interesting stats -- they make UNT sound a lot hotter on offense than they *feel* when we're watching the games.  It also points out the need to get rid of all vestiges of that 3-3-5 immediately.

I hope we run the 4-4-4 defense and stop someone from scoring on us in the red zone this season.

      How North Texas built the G5's best passing attack

      Indeed this is a great article and great video interview. HOWEVER the article and video are about Coach Morris and "C-4" (love that nickname), and not really North Texas. It was clear from the video interview that the ONLY reason "C4" is at North Texas is because Coach Morris is here. Nowhere is there any mention of either of them being impressed with, or even liking, the North Texas atmosphere, fan base, or even the culture in general. To be fair, this is the case for a lot of athletes these days. Most are at some particular schools because of the coach and the system he has installed. But this is especially obvious to me in this article. Having said all this, I hope that Coach Morris and "C-4" are with us for another year.

      You can joke, but don't be surprised if they get a better rating despite being on a less available channel.

      FYI, I looked this company up on Amazon, and it is $16.49 for the same hat. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWU9X87?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

      Tulane Game Time/Channel - Homecoming

      Other teams playing at 11:00a that day: Ohio State Navy and Notre Dane Ole Miss and Oklahoma Now, I am sure someone is about to chime in with “yeah, but those programs are different and can draw crowds at any time of day.” Yes, they are different…because they have fans whose only question is “Is my team playing?” and not the laundry list of asinine questions we keep asking: Is it too hot/cold? Is it within 15 days of a holiday? Is another team that I have no affiliation with playing at the same time? Is the opponent sexy enough (though I claim to be a fan of North Texas, so this is irrelevant)? Is it too late/early/middle of the day? Is the team winning? If so, are they winning by enough points? If so, is the offense “pretty” enough? Am I currently mad at the athletic department/university about something? Is it too far for me to drive? If not, could I just watch on tv? What does my horoscope/tea leaves/position of the moon say?
