So there IS a game in two days, right?

Are we so down in the dumps arguing over which of our last three coaching staffs did the most long-term damage to UNT that I see not a single reference to the homecoming game vs Arkansas St that kicks off in a mere 54 hours?

Current Vegas spread : Ark St by 4.5 to 6 depending on casino.

Prediction: Sunny skies, smoked ribs, and adult beverages with my UNT friends

Outcome of game: See above, otherwise zero effect on the rest of my life

We're pretty lucky to have the gameday atmosphere that we do. The football, believe it or not, is actually better than it has been, and surely will continue to improve.

We're all just waiting until next beer.

Me too.

We're all just waiting until next year.

Because that's when we field a 7 win team

Because that's when we get to see CUSA, but the tougher teams will keep us at 5 wins.

Because that's when we will be better at QB

Because it's next season!!!

As I've said before, our name should be UNY, The University of Next Year.

Hope springs eternal!

"We" are all not down in the dumps. I happen to see lots of positives around this team, this coaching staff and this program. Happy about the year's record so far? Heck no....but I did not think this would be a two or even three year deal. Reality has a way of setting in when a program has been down for so long in the win column and when resources and donors are so scarce as they are around this program. The prior four years did not help things...too bad, but that's the way it is in Mean Green land right now. But, down in the dumps...heck no!

It will be another great day Saturday at Apogee. No matter which way the game goes, I plan...and can assure you that I will....on having a great time. Will UNT win this one? Well...hope so, but it depends...depends...depends on which team shows up...the one that played K St. and LSU or the one that played Middle TN last week. Sort of a Jekyll and Hyde thing going on here...ha!

My prediction...Mean Green will come out smoking fast this game and get up on Arky St. by 14 in the first half...Arky St. mounts a comeback behind a very good offense led by a very good QB, but the UNT offense behind DT hits for another TD in the 4th Qtr and the Mean Green D holds back the Wolves for a 24-20 win for the "good guys" in the Green!

It's going to be a great Homecoming for the Mean green faithful...book it Danno!

See you Saturday!

Look for a much improved game, just as NT can't put two good games together; they generally regroup well after bad games.

Probably not good enough to beat ASU, but look for a lot better effort.

I'm looking forward to Saturday. I expect to enjoy all the extra homecoming happenings and will be watching this Mean Green win from the club level for a change. I'm bringing my bride to this one as part of my annual attempt to get her to drink the green kool aid.
