I'm going to say the score goes like this:

Home opener +7

Rookie QB -3

J-Mo and Cobbs +7

Rookie D-line -10

Dickey Ball +/- 7

Improvement from game 1 to game 2 +7

Tulsa hangs with OU for 3 quarters -7

We're 1-0 for the first time A.D. +4

So, by my math, we either win by 12 or 5. I'll pick the 5 and say it's 32-27

I don't know if I could make an honest objective prediction. Our Mean Green certainly didn't resemble the conference Mean Green of last year, and Tulsa gets blown out by Minnesota before being within 2 points of OU with 4 minutes left. Its hard to say but I'm gonna have faith and say UNT 24, TU 16

---It will be close..... I think the deciding faactor will be can we contain their passing game. They appear to be better than I expected.

---Our Offensive line need to open some holes.... The O-line is hard to evaluate yet because MTSU had a excellent defensive front (Littlejohn was a monster) and we did not do all all that great the first half opening holes...

_________________-

SMU/TCU.... How did that happen????? SMU loses to Baylor while TCU looks great agains OU and then the next week TCU loses to SMU...... Proof that upsets do happen and the best team doesn't always win.

NT-28

Tulsa-17

Big day for PC and JT, Meager throws first career TD but also and INT.

We have a tough time stopping their stud TE Mills, but in the 2nd half we finally realize they have nothing else. So we stick one of our faster LBs on him for the rest of the game and we pull away from there.

Love the Dickey Ball coefficient and the reasoning.

The X-factor will be me and my friends yelling our lungs out. NT by 10.

Like most games, this one will come down to a few key stops. The big matchups are their passing game vs our pass defense and our rushing game vs their rush defense. Seeing the play of Covington and Weathers gives me a little more confidence but not a ton. Since I'm also a homer, I'll say NT 24- TU 17

PEOPLE PEOPLE. I'm from Oklahoma and you are looking at a TU team that got beat by an OU team that got beat by TCU who was throttled by SMU (the score didn't do it justice). Anyone remember the Baylor game 2 years ago. The predictions and comments were about the same and I don't remember the score but I do remember that is one of the worse beatings I've seen a football team take. We kicked a lung out of Baylor that day (also probably the best I've seen Booger play). So remember this, WE ARE FROM NORTH TEXAS. WE HAVE WON OUR CONFERENCE THE LAST FIVE YEARS. WE WILL MAKE IT SIX. WE DON'T GIVE A FLYING CRAP WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. AND ABOVE ALL, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE A LITTLE COCKY. So all you predicting a close game, stand up at your work and read the last six sentences out loud over and over UNTIL YOU BELEIVE IT. LOUD AND PROUD. And on a side note, those pricks from Tulsa make SMU and Baylor look like a bunch of beer guzzling rednecks. NORTH TEXAS, LOUD AND PROUD AND FOR GOOD REASON.

Myth! Ever play any softball or watch a baseball game? I don't know how that saying ever came to be because it simply isn't true.

Anyway...

NT 24

Tulsa 14

I expected more offense last week but I was dead on that the defense would come up big. Still, I missed our margin of victory on the high side. With a week's experience, and having seen Tulsa in action against Oklahoma, I will not be so cavalier in my prediction this week.

The D tightens up on the run but their receiver Mills still gives us fits because we don't get enough pressure on Smith. We still give up a LOT of yards this week.

The O starts to run a little smoother and Meager's playbook gets a couple more pages this week. RF and DD conduct a refresher course for Meager, Thomas, and assorted newbies and we get to see more of Pat and Jamario in the same backfield, with good results. The Mighty Quinn quits puking and gets his strength back in time to make five big plays.

All of this translates to the following prediction:

UNT - 31

Tulsa - 21

I am feeling okay about this game. I am not sure what I was smoking thinking we would score 30 plus in game one. So I will load up again and say:

Tulsa 21

North Texas 40

I know it's a different feeling to be 1-0, and I know we're excited about the offensive weapons we have w/ a game under their belt, but..... this is a non-conference game. We all should know what that means by now... so, with a heavy heart, until i see differently, i have to say...

Tulsa 34

NT 9

Now, that being said, I hope like hell the culture changes this weekend and I'm terribly wrong...

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      Jimbo Fisher was fired by A$M and got $78m to sit on a beach. Malzahn would have received $15m to sit on a beach if he were fired. Instead he just walked away to take a $1.5M a year job.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      He says he wants to run UNC like a semi-NFL team, lol. He will soon find out that 18-22 year old know-it-all college kids are a lot different than 23-35 year old men. I'd rather this announcement was the Cowboys hiring him.

      Bowl Tailgating

      HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because: We can't afford bowl game pricing. We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team. We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation. We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We basketball. We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco. We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in. We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year. We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather. We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear. We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band. Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway. HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium. GMG

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      Malzahn, 59, said he chose to return to his coaching roots rather than remain a head coach distracted by new-age responsibilities. Malzahn walked away from $15 million guaranteed -- he was set to make $5 million in 2025 and had three years remaining on his contract with the Knights -- for a different coaching lifestyle. He signed a three-year deal with FSU that will pay him $1.5 million in 2025. "The job description of a head college football coach has changed dramatically in the last two years with everything -- transfer portal to collectives to agents and everything that goes with that," Malzahn said. "I'm just an old-school football coach. "I love coaching football, and head coaches, it's hard to do that a lot. So that had something to do with it. And then the opportunity..." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42916508/malzahn-dramatic-changes-coaching-prompted-move-fsu
