Will I be the lone Mean Green fan in attendance Saturday at WKU? I hope not!

I really can’t blame anyone for not coming to Bowling Green to watch this team, so I fully expect to see NO NT fans at the game considering the long distance to Kentucky.

I live 5 minutes from WKU’s stadium, so of course I will be there to support.

I have WKU season tickets so let me give you the run down in executive summary fashion as I see it:

• WKU has played against good competition

1. Indiana: 31-13 L

2. #2 Bama: 47-7 L

3. KY: 41-3 L

4. VT: 27-13 L

5. #18 Ball State: 24-7 L @ WKU

• Bobby Rainey RB (124.3 yds/gm) is very very good and WKU has height/weight advantage on OL.

• QB starter K.J. Black left team and was replaced by David Wolke (Notre Dame Trans.) Wolke is solid and tested. (6’2” 205 lb Senior)

• WKU has a very speedy back-up QB

• WKU has tendency to fumble in key possessions

• 2008 Avg. Attendance: 17,596 (3 games) (Newly renovated stadium)

• 79th Homecoming

• WKU talent level is low but they play with a lot of intensity.

• WKU has been accused of “chippy” play by Ball State HC.

• VT players claimed WKU grabbed crouches in the pile.

• If UNT can stop big plays on Special Teams and contain Rainey and make almost no turnovers, we have a chance to win this game.

Forecast: Sunny 66°F/36°F

Weight Advantages

WKU vs. UNT Advantage (Ht.; Wt.)

Off. Line (6-3, 290) Def. Line (6-2, 258½) WKU — 1”; WKU — 10½ lbs.

Receivers (6-0, 205) Def. Backs (5-10, 182½) WKU — 2”; WKU — 22½ lbs.

Off. Backs (6-0, 210) Linebackers (6-1, 230) UNT — 1”; UNT — 20 lbs.

Def. Line (6-4, 270) Off. Line (6-3, 299) WKU — 1”; UNT — 29 lbs.

Def. Backs (5-11, 184) Receivers (6-2, 207) UNT — 3”; UNT — 23 lbs.

Linebackers (6-1½, 236) Off. Backs (6-1, 207) WKU — ½; WKU — 29 lbs.

WKU HC David Elson on North Texas

“North Texas is a much better football team than their record indicates. They have made strides in all three phases of the game in their second season under Coach Dodge, and it’s evident on film that they are a team to be reckoned with. This is another chance for us to line up against a Sun Belt Conference team, and we’ll be able to see how our work during the bye week translates into game

day.”

WKU Very Basic Summary

Basic Offense: Spread

Basic Defense: 3-4

Lettermen Returning/Lost: 41/19

Starters Returning/Lost: 14/10

When we were at the SBC Basketball tournament, some Hilltoppers fans offered a place to stay for any WKU game I could travel to. I'd be at this game, except I owe my girlfriend big time, and I have to go to Baylor's homecoming.

Will you be at the basketball game when NT travels to WKU?

Yes, I will attend the UNT@ WKU game.

2 years ago I had luxury box seats with food and snacks and private bathroom included. The sightlines were fantasticc and UNT won.

      Yeah, it's been downright pathetic marketing. Jared should be questioned about this on a public forum, like X. It's not even a team thing anymore. This PROGRAM deserves 5k a night. It doesn't matter if they're playing Denton High. The program has earned my respect. I love everything they do, the pace they play, the players they're able to nab. We're basically running the double flex in basketball and it's working and has been working for almost a decade. As for your idea, I like it. Also, students and old folks love free stuff. Buy 5K worth of $400 TV's and give one away every home game via drawing. And for the love of me, will SOMEONE get the greeks actually interested in UNT athletics?!?! Students like free tuition. A diehard would love to 'cup a coffee with coach' A diehard would like 'lunch with a player' The problem as I have observed over the years will always be the problem. To my knowledge, there is not a good % of UNT people working for UNT. Get UNT people back to UNT. And UNT might be the best version of itself. Until then, we are a revolving door for people trying to stepping stone us.

      Another little tidbit: Starting July 1, 2025, schools will be allowed to directly pay players, the infancy of collegiate revenue sharing. Therefore, Jared Mosley will have no barrier to hide behind about doing a piss poor job of funding UNT's NIL initiatives. However, given how little he has done or how no facilities have been built, etc, I don't expect much. Truly, I expect nothing more than what we are and have been doing. Someone stated, sort of conspiracy based, that something deep in its core must be/has to be holding UNT back from being what UNT can be. Forgot who sort of threw that out there, but maybe that guy was onto something. Needless to say, we suck. Our fans suck. Our administration sucks. Our school, gulp, sucks. The last 7 seasons (not including this probable 20+ win season) have seen us go 154-80. NIT and CBI trophies. NCAA win. Conf reg season champs. Conf Tourney Champs. etc. And we are out here still farting around in our athletic department getting sub 3k attendances for home conference games. It's laughable at this point. We have fans still saying wE aRe NoT a BaSkEtBaLl sChOoL because they so badly want to see UNT football not live in infinite suckitude as it inevitably will. Back on topic... Eric Morris aint it. Nobody can convince me he is better than Seth Littrell.

      I am no longer local. When I was local/semi-local, I went to countless games. I've traveled to see us play in OK, AR, LA, TN and Vegas. I'll throw my stones.
