I just love, and I quote, "all of a sudden North Texas bears watching in the Sunbelt conference race". Sounds pretty friendly from an otherwise fairly critical group....and i'm just sayin'......

Pretty fair preview. I have no idea which UL team will show up (and no, I don't mean ULM :rolleyes: )

This game should go down to the wire. Hoping it is televised down here in SA.

Wayyy too early to count that chicken. Everybody is very happy about the win, but our guys are going to have to take it one game at a time. While these next three games are definitely winnable, none of them is close to a must-win. The attitude that is going to make them wins is not overconfidence, but determination.

And a question:

Why North Texas Might Win: UNT’s biggest problems so far this year have been an offensive line that can’t protect the quarterback, and a defensive line that doesn’t get into the backfield. ULL’s offensive front has been miserable at times, and while the mobile Chris Masson takes too many sacks, they’re not all hit fault. Yes, the ULL defense is good at coming up with tackles for loss, but it doesn’t have a closer of a pass rusher registering just one sack in the first three games. Riley Dodge should get plenty of time.

Is that first sentence supposed to say "ULL's biggest problems . . . ?"

Our offensive front has been poor so far this year. Lots of young guys, and last week only 6 healthy bodies going into the game and 1 went out in the 2nd Qtr. Depth is better going in to tomorrows game; but it is still young guys. If your defensive front is on the weak side; looks like a "push" in this department. We have some talent in the backfield; but the line has yet to open up holes on a consistent basis.

Does anyone know what, if any, channel on Dish is carrying the game?

Not certain what Channel it's on the Dish Network, but apparently they will carry it (CSS Sports). Unfortunately, for Fans/Alums in the Houston Area, the Game will be blacked-out, unless you have Comcast Cable's Extended Package. This happened last Season, and thanks to Dipwad McElwain at the Sun Belt Conference for not replying back to myself in this matter!

      Sell Out Next Week?

      I think everyone knows this. It doesn’t make the practice any less dumb. With everything being electronic nowadays they could easily announce the actual attendance. Last night was a jarring example. There weren't more than 22-23K. And what annoys me the most is because of the announced attendance, last night is officially the 5th best attended game in stadium history, which is total BS.

      Did we dump the 3-3-5 for good?

      I mean I’ve spent lots of time talking about this defense (which I do not love) but there aren’t too many gaps. The scheme accounts for gaps, but relies on excellent linebacker play to go along with excellent safety play. For me, it always comes down to the defensive line. In 2013, we ran a 4-3 base and Flusche et al generated pressure with that front four and it made the whole group very good. The next year with the same base we were leaky. The difference was the line. Reffett had a solid defense with Nate Brooks and Kemon Hall at corner and would bring LB blitzes (to make up for the lack of great line play) and it worked. The next year they struggled as the corners couldn’t man up and the pressure was late. Littell’s defenses post Reffet were awful until he lucked into the Murphy twins and upset top 25 UTSA. Mazin Richards helped him get enough to get to the title game the next year. Last year? Awful line play. This year? Better line play. It’s always about line play no matter how many you put out there. Get pressure on the QB or else you lose.

      What's at stake as Pac-12, Mountain West and American Athletic Conference plan their futures

      Memphis and Tulane are weighing their options of joining the Pac-12 or remaining in the American. Depending on who AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti can acquire, staying in their current conference might be the best option for the Tigers and/or the Green Wave. Pernetti is known to desire UNLV and Air Forcefrom what's left of the Mountain West. If the Falcons and Rebels jump to the AAC instead of the Pac-12 then all the sudden the AAC might look more desirable for Memphis and Tulane to stay put. Both Memphis and Tulane are desired by the Pac-12 for their consistency and recent success in football. Both are essentially top 50 TV markets, but Memphis brings a record of success in basketball and Tulane is attractive because it's in New Orleans. (Don't think that presidents and ADs haven't thought about fun weekends in N'awlins while watching their teams play. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/whats-at-stake-as-pac-12-mountain-west-and-american-athletic-conference-plan-their-futures/amp/

      Great Week 4 Uniform Video

      Never was a fan of the script, but I’ve got to admit, we looked GREAT. I like the all green more than I realized as well.
