How would this Mac team fare vs. Dickey's best?

greenminer · October 27, 2013

If you're an offensive minded fan, it might be the ugliest game you'll ever witness.

But these two defenses would put on something spectacular.

The better question would be... who wins in the bull ring.... Y'Barbo or Booger?

Rick

Can Y'Barbo hoop?

How would either of these teams stack up with Hayden Fry' s #16 ranked 1975 team?

My guess:

Fry' s team would be favored by at least 35 pts.

I'm sure they'd get there and back by walking barefoot in the snow. Uphill. Both ways. Edited October 28, 2013 by emmitt01

One thing you may not have considered. They would all be home games.
I've got to give the edge to Mac.

Would it be a conference or non conference game?

casual fan · October 28, 2013

Would it be a conference or non conference game?

I didn't even think of that. A non conference game... hum, that puts a whole new slant on it. Would it be played in August or September? Mac's is 1-0 in non conference home games in the month of August but he is 3-1 in non conference home games in September. Would this be a day time game or would it be played at night?

How about Mac's 2014 class vs. Fry's 1976 class?

I'm pretty sure that such a game would result in the End of Days.

A game between a Dickey coached team and a Mac coached team would be the fastest game you've ever watched (in time), all while feeling like it was the slowest game you've ever watched (boring snoozefest). Someone would have to win, so I'll take Mac's team (better head coach) at Apogee over Dickey's team in a thriller, something like 9-6 in 7 OTs where each team misses several field goals and causes simultaneous death for June Jones, Mike Leach, Art Briles, and Kevin Sumlin from falling asleep and never awakening during a game that featured about 5 completed passes, none of which went for a first down...And FroggyStyle, CougarQueen, and GL2Greatness will die from an accidental mass auto-erotic asphyxiation when they decide that this is the worst moment of their lives, but want to try something for the first time together...

After the game, in which Dickey's team showed up in Hutch black jerseys, he will complain that this was the worst situation to coach in, since he coaches here EVERYDAY. But, in full confidence of his OC, Ramon Flanigan, who fought a fan before halftime and then punched a few players in the locker room, will get an extension on the spot for running the ball up the middle ever single play of the game, except for two Hail Mary passes at the end of each half that got intercepted, causing Dickey to summon Diet Coke boy over for a caffeine boost.

Meanwhile, Coach Mac will say after the game that we have turned the corner, that we have finally built back up from the ashes, and that the Grey Goose will be flowing at his place in celebration of the biggest win in his lifetime!! He will then say that this is what he dreamed of when he came aboard as our head coach!!

KRAM and PMG will fight on just how highly ranked UNT will be to start the next season and what BCS bowl we will end up in. UNT90 will post about how this game sent the program backwards for decades and that we blew an opportunity to fire Tony Benford. I will post about how terrible it is that RV got another 5-year extension for doing nothing. And Emmitt and FFR will talk about the lack of Talons at the game and the fact that Boomer never got fired off when the FGs went thru the goalposts. Harry will report that gmg.com got the most visits of all time and that it was now going to cost to visit the site so that their servers won't crash anymore.

Finally, in the DRC on the next day, Brett Vito will run a column on how Todd Dodge wouldn't let him ever watch practice and how awful it was to cover the team during his tenure--and finish it with an "Oh by the way, Coach Mac's team won a hard fought game the night before"...

One difference is that of speed. This edition of the MG have much more of it.

Brandon Kennedy was the faster NT I have ever seen.

You are quite correct! That is a big difference along with quality depth.

That was beautiful.

BigDanTeague · October 28, 2013

The 2003 front seven would have a field day against the 2013 team. The corners weren't very good, but that team also had the school's best safety tandem in recent history.

BigDanTeague · October 28, 2013

Rick

Um, whut?

Travis · October 28, 2013

Mac is the better coach. But,Dickey had the better team.

A Hall, Blount, Quinn, Branch, and Cobbs combo would beat a Thompson, Chancellor, Byrd, Smith, Miller combo.

OL-Brewster, Brown, Zuniga, Nobles, Thaggard, and Lineberry would have been a better O-line than we have now.... by a lot in my opinion.

DL-Awasome, Kennedy, Pruitt/or McIver, Cardwell, Hutchinson is a better D-line than what we have now.

LB- This one may be even.... but I still give the edge to Casey, Hurd, and Spencer were a better unit.

DB-This one is like the LB. But, I still see Buckles, Jones, Knowlton, and Pearl as more reliable. opponents couldn't throw that well against them and they couldn't run well either. And, we still were known for being an extremely hard-hitting team.

I gotta say, I think 2003 team could beat 2013 team without too much difficulty.

Got5onIt · October 29, 2013

I'd have to give the edge to DD's team. They have the better defense, running backs, & a power running specialized OL. Defense and a running game win 10 times out of 10, IMO.

Except when you travel to play Tulane.

TIgreen01 · October 29, 2013

What a great thread! You know we're in the midst of a good year when we get to debate which past great team could beat this year's team!

I'm not sure, yet. If this 2013 finishes on a 7 game win streak, then I give them the nod. If not, and we return to being inconsistent, then no. This year's team does not have a Booger Kennedy playing on it. That dude was the best player I've ever seen in a UNT uniform (dating to 1996). He'd also be matched up on our redshirt freshman center....which hardly seems fair.
