Will North Texas win 3 more?

the la tech game will show us a lot of the teams commitment to coaching and will to win. the middle Tennessee game show what can happen when everything is clicking. now we will have to see if they can win when faced with adversity and on the road. la tech will try to run with Dixon. we have the defense to stop him but the play action will hurt us. a win at la tech is huge.

Southern miss is not looking really good right now but the team has talent. if North Texas get up on them early they will fold and then it will turn into a middle Tennessee game with a heavy run game to kill the clock. hopefully the 2nd string and 3rd string will get some game time on the road.

Rice is the team to beat right now, they are looking good. say that North Texas wins two on the road i feel that the attendance will be great ( maybe a sell out). that game will be the one pending the two road wins will be a bowl birth in many years.

Utep can put it together for a full game. they cant spot anyone on defense. " The miners will likely head into this game riding a six-game losing streak" - Brett Vito "Sports day App Blog" if that's the case that will be a game we can get more experience for the younger guys.

Utsa not a bad team but don't have the people to beat North Texas.

Tulsa not looking good but have the talent to win. hard game for North Texas.

It would take a big collapse not to win 3 more with this schedule. Massey favors NT in every game, and if you extrapolate the odds; NT has about a 40% chance to go undefeated. Doesn't mean much, but 6 wins seems at this point would be very discouraging. This is a senior team, not a rebuilding team, the time is now.

I hear where you're coming from, and I don't completely disagree, but for a team in its first year in a new, "better" conference, I would view 6 wins as encouraging.

Not satisfying--but encouraging. Just stay healthy and keep playing hard and kicking ass, and let's see how this thing ends up...

Welcome to the board.

I like your enthusiasm and will try like I always do to not throw cold water on it, but.............we didn't sellout our new stadium's debut game against UH (who brought about 4K fans of their own) in 2011, so what do you know that we don't know that makes you feel we will do it this time around? (And in that regard, I really hope you do know something we don't know). :)

Trust me, sig381, I hope you are 100% right about the UNT/Rice attendance figures but (2 weeks before the Rice game) we would have to be out there right now selling the hell out of that game and promoting it like never before to reach 31,000. Not saying we are not doing all those things, but just going on our history here.

Nevertheless....Here's to a sellout for the Rice game on Halloween Night of which I'm bringing 3 new guests from Parker County along with many other posters on GMG.com who are loading their own buses with friends, too! 04-cheers.gif

UNT Enrollment: Approaching 40,000 * D-FW North Texas Alums: Over 200,000 right there. if the Mean Green win the next two you will see fans comig out of the wood pile. this is the great state of Texas we love winning football. i transferred here in 2007 from ACU after my football career ended. i have seen a small d-II school in west texas sell out game when we where winning imagine the crowds North Texas can have with that student body and alums. plus in 2007 all i heard from older stundets is how much fun it was to go the games during the early 2000s. if North Texas brings back that feeling all will start coming out. thank you for the welcome.

They could just realize that it is ok to stop drinking for 3 hours, and come into the game. If it's that important to them, bring a flask into the game.

These kids today obviously lack the enginuity to get alcohol into an establishment that doesn't allow alcohol...

Unt won't sell out vs rice.. Now if they can put together a winning streak coming into HC the following week... That's our chance and carry the momentum into the UTSA game, who I think will travel pretty well.

This is the biggest six games in the history of Western civilization.

If we go to Ruston and lose, Dan McCarney should be fired before he even gets through the tunnel to the locker room, and then be forced to walk back to Denton.

If we're losing in the 3rd quarter RV should give him the Kiffin.

Just one more thing to blame Benford for, the unashamed use of basketball memes on the football board.

When our basketball coach turned out to be a pure 2, I was left with no choice.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Without knowing much about boxing, I think the powers will declare Paul the winner. There's a young generation of potential longterm viewers who grew up watching him make YouTube videos and having him beat Tyson brings too many potential viewers for the future of the sport. It's like introducing fast food in public schools in the 80s and 90s. Their future money depends on it.

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      To SUMG’s point, I remember the Mean Green Club and the Mean Green 100 Club starting during the Hayden era. Remember the beautiful lime green sport coats given to the Mean Green 100 members ? I still have a decal on the wing window of my ‘77 sports car that I applied sometime after I bought the car in ‘77. And, I’m convinced we might still be in Fouts Field were it not for Rick V. Thanks.

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      A lot of us old timers didn't want to make a change from NT to UNT. He went through 4 or 5 presidents while he was AD, I each who had their own idea as to how to market North Texas.In addition his budget was pocket change. You can thank Rick and C.Dan Smith for your new football stadium.

      Admittedly he did look in fantastic shape. If it's not over quickly then I see age related stamina dropping fast. I'll check it out... AFTER we win

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Tyson may be 31 years older, but he is still going to beat Paul like a rented mule. After seeing him at the weigh-in, I surmised that Tyson is in shape (for the first time in 30+ years) and still has his hand speed. Even if some of Tyson's punching power has diminished, he still has enough power to knockout a Youtuber.
