A Past Season Which Proves Why We Take 'Em One At A Time

[PlummMeanGreen]

Look at the below 1988 North Texas football schedule and see who we beat, who we all but beat (UT-Austin), but then got beat by schools who should not have beaten us at all.

In fact, look how we we walked thru near half the Southwest Conference in 1988 only to later get beat by schools who were not quite as impressed with our newspaper clippings thus making us a target for some of that group. The more publicity our team gets the bigger a target we will become--its happened before. Yet that hasn't been a problem we've had for awhile now..

We've seen high hopes and promise turn to not as promising toward season's end. Coach Mac could be the kind of coach who prevents that from happening and starting at Tulane U will be a great place to start. Not that we're something special yet although maybe we're getting closer to that, but how many times thru the years how we've seen how many schools at our level or conference (who we sometimes think are cup cakes) seem to find one of their best games against North Texas ? ? ? ? ? I expect this to happen at Tulane and La Tech,

Moral of This Thread: One CUSA game at at time, folks.

Will they ever sell us their G-S formula? I didn't think so.
