Lets get the predictions going. I say light the tower Saturday night. 35-14 Mean Green! I think we will jump on them early, and keep it going from there.

Hi, I'm here for the gang bang. Vandals emerge victorious, by 1 point in triple OT.

I predict a UNT win for the Mean Green Nation. Score? Don't have a clue...1point more than Idaho gets will get the win.

I think the defense continues to give up a lot of big plays. If the big plays (20+ yds) don't result in TD's then our defense will shrink in the red zone and keep them out for the most part, forcing FG's.

I think our o-line should be able to mow these guys down, so the running game should be impressive early on. Hopefully we can get a few quick TD's before ID starts stacking the box. Once ID decides to put 8 in the box, we'll get to see what the passing game looks like. Hopefully it's good!

I'm going to say:

UNT - 34

Idaho - 23

Edit: Students show up en mass for this one. Attendance: just a shade under 25k.

31-21 NT

24.5k attendance

Exact same score I was going to predict, although this game makes me VERY nervous (but after the last 8 years, what game doesn't?).

I see the line settling around 10 and the betting public is usually very close to being right.

27-20 good guys.

I wish I could say we win by more, but I'm not sure how well we'll be able to maintain drives and, more importantly, get in the endzone once we reach the redzone.

We were only able to score 4 touchdowns at home against Texas Southern last year. If our offense hasn't improved then I think we score 3 tds this game. Hopefully we'll see some notable improvement.

I expect to see at least 8 Spuds in the box on our 1st offensive play from scrimmage and expect that to continue all game.

Unless we make them pay for it through the air.

We didn't even try to make anyone pay for it last year.

Will this year be different?

think we'll win but more interested in attendance prediction:

22,222. I will be disappointed. Please prove me wrong people. Show that we can really fill the alumni side.

I think the heat may keep the attendance lower.

I would be surprised if we had lower attendance at this game than we did against Texas Southern last year. Actually having our home opener be our SEASON opener should help quite a bit.

UNT is a better team than any of the teams in the past 8 years. This one won't be close.

Attendance...first season opener at home in so many years. Great underclassmen attendance; lots of freshmen/sophmore excitement. I predict 27k at minimun and with a large percentage staying after the first half. This will help with attendance for the second home game as well.

Yup. Heat won't matter. This game is gold for alumni and students are new to campus and haven't had very long for apathy to set in.

27K minimum.

      Brett Yormark, Big 12 Commissioner, basically told SMU that there was one school in the country that made obvious sense to add and it was SMU but TCU, OK State, Baylor, Tech, etc. did not want to elevate SMU. This year is proving them right to a certain degree b/c with the level playing field SMU will outspend and surpass them in record time. Why waste four years of your life in Lubbock, Stillwater, Fort Worth, or Waco when you could be in Dallas?

      RIP Dana. Too young indeed. He worked his craft his whole life. A short life well lived.

      what a bunch of garbage. Schools have been paying players, inducing high school recruits, and skirting (or outright ignoring) the rules since they started keeping score. The only difference now is that its out in the open for everyone to see. This is a bunch of revisionist history and yearning for the "good ol days" when in truth this stuff has always been there.

      Craponi should give his salary to Rod Brown for misusing him. In general, Rod has never been valued enough. He has been outstanding in very tough circumstances.

      Well NT 80, you are right. I am a dinosaur, but far from being a bitter fan. I have had a lot of joy through UNT athletics through out the decades but also some disappointment. I don't understand why our students show so little support and alumni give so little money. I don't understand why we can't build a winning football program but I expect you will tell us. I agree that my social graces have slipped but one of the pleasures of becoming an old man is not having to suffer fools.I will also at 82 admit to occasional memory lapses although I must say you are unforgettable. In summary I disagree with most but not all of your posts, respect your right to have a different opinion, find you easy to pimp,and wish you a blessed life.
