...UNT rushes for more than 100 yards.

...UNT doesn't turn the ball over.

...UNT scores 20 or more points.

...LSU scores 50 or less points.

...We don't miss any XP's/FG's.

If all of this happens, I will never criticize Todd Dodge again. :D

That is a lot to ask of our football team.

I am right there with you....however it's sad that we have been reduced to these weak-ass expectations. :(

It's an embarrassment that we can't hope to win the game but just hope to keep it within 30. I'm disappointed in the season already.

I think the Montgomery/Dunbar duo will get 100 yards on the ground. Dunbar could have one of those break out games like Jamario did against Colorado.

The two combining for 100 could happen, but to exect anything jamrio like is a little out there. All we can do is hope. No matter how it happens, I just hope it isn't a complete embarrassment. We have had our fill of that in recent years.

UNT gets out of the game healthy.

UNT scores 14 points but more importantly, shows the promise of being able to move the ball like they did against k-state.

Defense actually forces 2 or 3 punts.

No block punts and no huge kick off and punt returns.

UNT takes a knee in the end zone on the kick off returns because it can't get past the 15 otherwise. TAKE A knee. Don't keep dropping the ball.

Deloach finally makes a difference like everyone said he would.

WR's must make catches for first downs and just catch the ball in general.

Dibrell keeps developing into the go to guy for critical catches on first downs.

If the OL can keep Gio from getting killed.

we get a shot at one of the best teams in the country. So what if we get smashed. LSU will smash a lot of teams this year. Stop crying and be proud of any accomplishments our boys can achieve against the defending national champs. Its the opportunity of a life time for these kids.

Deloach finally makes a difference like everyone said he would.

I'd slow down a little right here. We are three games into his first season. We are starting three players in the secondary in their first d-1 year, a redshirt freshman and a sophomore at linebacker, and a truly makeshift defensive line rotation that has been missing two all-conference caliber defensive ends. We are coming off a year's worth of truly horrific defensive coaching by a guy who was regarded as an ineffective high school coach. Finally, we are a team that consists of 62 underclassmen (freshmen and sophomores). There are, by comparison, only 40 upperclassmen, and a quarter of those are transfers that have showed up in the past year and a half.

So with all that, what do we expect here? I know when Dodge first showed up, the consensus on the board was that we had resigned ourselves to four years of turnover while Dodge transitioned from a run first offense to the spread. By that logic, DeLoach gets four, too, based a defense that was a bad 3-4, then a mediocre 4-3, then a bad 4-3.

Man... but to start toe-tapping after three games? He'll make a difference, but it takes time to build a winner. At least we have a guy here who has shown he can do it.

Pay Big NTX all the attention in the world... He's used to us winning 4 conference championships in a row since becoming a member of this board on 25th of Sept. 2007. He has to know what he's talking about concerning DeLoach.

The mean green get home safely and healthy.

Watch for TD to start Riley tonight. The corners at LSU are two of the best in America. The slot positions (Fitz and Dodge) will have to make big plays and use their speed to get off constant press coverage.

LSU will play man, press our players and jam them on the line of scrimmage. It will be tough to have any throwing opportunities. If you watched App. State (who has tremendous athletes) you know what I'm talking about.

10 points by UNT offense will be a successful game. LSU athletes are just a different breed of animal. Blitz coming all night long.

Deloach must make all the right calls tonight. Hopefully, we won't let two very inexperienced QB's play pitch and catch all night long.

Come out healthy!

UNT fans make it out of the stadium and back home safely.

we hold LSU under 50.

we score more than 17.

Remember John Wooden lost early and lost a lot early before getting his players to play his system. When I heard this statement I thought of our very own TD. His system is proven. There are players out there to play his system. They are at UNT currently learning or on their way to the Mean Green. When the system plants we are going to be very very happy! Tonight is the Mother of all mid-terms. Put your thinking caps on and jump into the (play) books!

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of goals:

Defense: hold LSU to under 200 yards rushing (LSU ran for 266 against Appalachian State and averaged 214 a game last year) and get a quarterback sack or two. Don't let LSU's offense get into one of those meat-grinder rhythms.

Offense: it sounds obvious, but avoid a 3-and-out first possession and get some first downs in the first quarter. Any points in the first quarter would be huge. Keep Vizza on his feet, get a little confidence, then get the ball to your receivers and backs in space. We've got some explosive players, but the trick is to get them a little running room.

I'd love to see the offensive and defensive lines have some success tonight.

Under 50?? Not a chance. Tulsa had that at the half last week. (Okay, 49...but still)

Some people call these "bodybag" games. I think of them as "prostitute" games because it's about the dollars, as we all know. I hate them. With poor showing after poor showing in these games, I think the damage it does NT in bad PR isn't worth the money.

Good grief folks, did anyone really think we would beat the former national champs in Dodge's 2nd year...when he had to completely start over after the last two lost years under Dickey? I understand high expectations, but that is a little much. Look, LSU is going to clobber a lot of top tier teams as they always do. If we keep it within 30 we should all celebrate. We are talking the 80 million dollar athletic budget against the 20 million dollar budget! Let's take their money, get some good practice against a GREAT team, compete and be happy.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Yeah, while 10k students may be okay with this, the other 36k may not be happy about it at all, especially when all 46k are complaining about how expensive college has become. Having 15-20k students picketing to drop football doesn't help recruiting or TP enticements.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I'm not for paying any player until binding contracts happen which ensures they stay a set amount of time (including Bowls) unless contractually agreed to terminate. A paid education should also be considered a part of the "salary"!

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      Most of y'all know more about the details of NIL since I really haven't been interested in looking into it, but I've got to wonder how much longer this NIL sham is going to go on before it becomes payment. Has it officially been changed/recognized by the NCAA that it is no longer based on actual usage of N.I.L.? It was obvious from the get-go that NIL was simply a stepping stone toward direct player payment (above the table) but I don't know if the NCAA has finally changed the rules to make it that way. I may be missing some areas, but the only two places that I see where NIL is used "en masse" is in the video games and TV broadcasts. Otherwise, the only other way I see their true N.I.L. revenue being earned is for a player to directly sell their "usage", i.e. advertisements, t-shirts, autographs, photos, etc. So, I found the following regarding EA and TV. Apparently, this accounts for essentially NONE of the NIL payment to players. A mere $600 from EA and NOTHING from TV. So, then we have the collectives, which have essentially created an opaqueness to the traceability, allowing funds to be built up and then distributed without any basis of NIL usage. If you start forcing fans to pay into this collective w/o any form of ACCOUNTING, AUDITING, etc., I suspect there will soon be lawsuits from the fans demanding to know that the collected money is being spent on the player wearing their team's jersey this year (or in this specific game when hit with a concession fee). I think the collectives are also going to face some challenges when the money starts spanning seasons and the portal has players moving on after a year, i.e. you're paying into a collective for player X, but now he's moved on to another team. Kinda' like coaches contracts, is money still being paid to a player in delayed form after he's moved? Again, w/o any accounting/auditing, they may be in for some trouble. Similarly, what about when a player that's collecting (forced) NIL decides to not play in the post season? I suppose it could be argued that he is past the "season ticket" purchase, but there is always more charges to the season ticket package purchase than just the individual games, so it could be argued that your "season" purchase literally means for the entire season. As usual, the big winners are going to be lawyers, both in lawsuits and in writing the 5000 page Terms Of Service 3pt font that's going to accompany every ticket. It'll be interesting to see how they squeeze all of that text onto the bottom of the Hot Dog and Coke menu board at the concession stand.
