Wonder how they feel about being 7 point home dogs to us?

Many seem to agree with being 7 down. Some think it's more like 21 down.

Good to know. The one La. Tech grad I know gave a very condescending chuckle when I mentioned we would be favored.

Their prediction threads look just like our prediction threads. You'd think Skip Holtz had come from the local rich white kids' high school or something.

They seem to think more of the win over UTEP than seems warranted. NT has yet to show they can beat anyone on the road, but they should beat La Tech by 3 tds.

I remember first time we ever played them in Ruston how the concensus among many (especially in Louisiana) was how they were going to slobber-knock North Texas since we had beaten them the year before at Fair Park Stadium (Shreveport) 14 to 8. I think many of the sports scribes favored them, too, back in that day. (Quite frankly, La Tech has most always had a much better promotion of self importance propaganda machine than North Texas could ever dream of having).

La Tech had only just a few years earlier come up from the NCAA "College Division" level and were going to be world-beaters. North Texas would just be another school in their way of that; somewhat like you get the same feeling of many of their attitudes toward North Texas now reading their BB&B board.

And the final score of that game in Ruston back in 1977 was:

North Texas......41

La Tech U..........14

With both as NCAA D1 FBS level programs, I believe North Texas still has a 4 W/2 L advantage. Who cares what we did against them when we were wallowering around at the NCAA D1-AA level. (See what I mean with all that 1-AA business of which we spent one full generation)?

GMG!
