On the line: North Texas has finally gotten to the point as an athletic program where it is following the plan of buying in an opponent for what amounts to a sure win on an annual basis. UNT brought in Texas Southern in 2012 and paid $410,000 to buy in Idaho last year. That move paid off when UNT won its season opener over the Vandals and built some confidence that paid off in a nine-win season. UNT will bring in Nicholls State this week in another well-timed game.

Regardless of the score, assuming we win of course, playing well in all three phases of the game is a must. Getting out of Saturday on a positive offensive note will be extremely important too. They've put the Defense and Special Teams in some difficult situations. Get the ball moving and the rest will fall into place. If we dominate all phases the score will reflect the game. My two cents anyway...

It feels good that we aren't always the one being put in the body bag.

I think NIcholls will score at least one TD. I think DW will probably have some struggles as he gets used to being the guy. I look for a 30-7 win in front of an announced crowd of 13k.

13k? Have our expectations really dropped that low? This place is more sad than a funeral home.

13k is not out of the realm of possibility and that's concerning in it's own right. 36.2k students and MAYBE a 1/4 of them care. Has the athletic/marketing program ever though about setting up a UNT football player booth the Friday before home games with just 3-5 senior players or the captains. Get student attention on campus..give students a chance to talk to the players...raise the interest among the students. I think it would pay dividends with the student body to actually see the players take interest in the students. Connecting on a personal level for even 10 seconds creates fans. Just good for thought.

We are not very good at promotion which is ironic since RV was the originator of UNT promotion...err uh...North Texas promotion...giving out free t-shirts and such. Recently, not alot and pretty lame season opening events except for the upper crust. I'm with you...make it exciting, promote huge, and we will pack the house.

Well, last year, in the 4th week of the season, we played an afternoon home game against Ball State, who was undefeated, and we announced a crowd of 14k. I would assume a really bad FCS team will cost us about a thousand in announced attendance. I guess we will see...

Predict that " announced" will not accurately equate to actual which will be 11-12K of which 7,500 will be students. Denton eggheads go to Oktoberfest unaware that a game was actually happening on Sat. Some things NEVER change, Denton being the sorriest sports town in America being one of those!!!

A couple of hundred thousand people will be in Addison this weekend for the Addison Oktoberfest. They hold it now as this matches the starting weekend of Oktoberfest in Munich. Real Oktoberfests happen in September!

Emmitt's initials are RV?

Anyway, Arkansas beat the Colonels by 66 points, and Air Force beat them by 28. So I'm expecting a win by at least 40 to put us in between those two teams, which is around where I expect us to be through the rest of the season.

Bettered the score and it's not even the half!

      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?
