There are a few traditions like no others when it comes to UNT football the cannon and Scrappy the mascot come to mind.

Of course there is also our own little tradition here on the blog. Yep, its time for the Get Your Rear on the Record contest.

We usually trot this out there about two weeks before the start of the season.

Here are the ground rules:

Each year we take guesses via e-mail: bvito@dentonrc.com on what UNTs final record will be. We keep a running tally on the blog and then dig them up to see who made the right call at the end of the year.

The exercise was born out of the annoying process of watching people predict that each year would be the big turnaround year for UNT for reasons based on faith and little else. No one would remember at the end of the year or point out who was right and who was wrong when it came to preseason predictions.

The MGB never forgets.

You might be wondering how last years contest turned out. Well, I have the answer.

3-9. Ok, that was.a joke, but if the QB and DLquestions can't be answered, a very real possibility. I only see one sure loss on the schedule (UT). I see 3 away games that are going to be difficul

Harry, if it plays out the way you have it, we most likely end up in the CUSA ship.

I think you are right but I'll put a loss vs. Marshall on road... 9-5

Losses @UT, @Rice, and @utsa. We'll need Rice and utsa to drop 3 conference games to make it to CUSA champ game which is unlikely. I have us winning New Mexico Bowl to end the year. 10-3. This is an optimistic perspective. GMG

I only see one sure loss on the schedule (UT). I see 3 away games that are going to be difficult to win. So lets say that's 4 losses.

And I see 2 home games that are toss ups (SMU and FAU). So lets say we split these and win the other games that we are "supposed" to win.

That puts us at 7-5.

Which could just as easily be 4-8 or 9-3.

SMU will be a loss. Coach Mac is too hung up on this not being a rivalry even though most of those SMU wins were decades ago and not relevant to modern college football.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
