There's always baseb... nevermind.

Not sure what you're getting at there, but a first year, never played together before North Texas baseball team would have a legit chance at a series win over woeful Kansas State, the bottom dweller of an otherwise strong Big XII conference.

Polk, Phillips, & Sarge all out is worrisome.

I think this thing stays close through 3 quarters and then that KSSt running attack just finally wears the defense down and they pull away for a big win.

I lost my Mean Green kool-aid packets, so I'm drinking haterade this morning.

UNT - 20

KSSt - 38

Unfortunately, no sign that I see points to positive for NT in this one.

KState loads the box and dares us to throw it, which we can't. KState jams it down our throats like LSU did, but with key defensive players out its even worse. we are on the road again, everything snowballs.

48-3 for the bad guys.

If this was our current roster against the 2012 KState team, I'd say it'd be 42-28, UNT.

Realistically: UNT +3 or UNT -14 or more. It's a squeaker, or KState runs away with it.

Green Kool-aid mode: UNT +14. KState has an off season, their long-term inconsistency in both play and coaching sets in as Coach Mac's career experience and the weaknesses Chico saw in 2010 combine with an improved UNT team for a hard-fought but well-deserved win. Our passing game has to be spot-on against KState. It doesn't matter who throws the ball, just so long as passes are completed. KState will play against the run because they will think that's the only card we have. They will plan for passing, and they're good enough to stop that as well, so passing has to be effective and our offense will have to keep KState guessing in order to create opportunities. The defense has to keep doing what they've been doing over the last 2 games, but be even better than they were against LSU.

I think you have your numbers wrong. Green Kool-aid mode would be UNT-14. That means whatever UNT's score is minus 14 would equal that of K-State. Plus 14 implies that we are going to lose by two touchdowns.

am I right?

Not doing the Vegas odds thing at all, it's not read as an equation, it's shorthand for "UNT wins by 14" drinking the kool-aid, or "loses by 14 or more" without the kool-aid.

Either way, it's a squeak win or a runaway loss. It really depends on the performance of DT and what the losses in the defense cost our team.
