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...

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?
