One of only two CUSA schools with no baseball team.
The sales pitch from C-USA when they were added was that adding baseball was part of the deal...then Judy decided Title IX compliance was more important.Quote:

Lotta offense (as you'd expect). Two different QBs have played, but unlike us their guys have very different skills. One very much will run, the other more of a passer.Quote:

Looks like they played real well against Middle Tennessee. If I did my math right, it looks like UNT is averaging 39.2 points per game. Wow! I hope our defense is ready for this. Can our offense keep up?Quote:

Denton beat writer was on BTB radio this week (I catch it on the podcast) and said that the running QB went in and the Blue Raiders had no plan for his skill set. Hopefully (and I think Holtz mentioned preparing for two very different QB styles in one of his things I saw) we'll be better prepared. I think they have one really good WR we'll have to watch out for as well.Quote:

We can win a shoot-out with them, but limiting their possessions would be fine, too.
Quietest since last week at leastQuote:

#LATech's game at North Texas has been postponed due to COVID-19 related issues within UNT's football program.
Teams and C-USA are working on rescheduling the game the week of Saturday, Dec. 5.
Guess we've got a few weeks to worry about it.Quote:

Will we even finish the season?
Holtz probably loves it. I guess the team can celebrate the UAB win for 2 weeks now.Quote:

I doubt it. He seems big on routine.Quote:

I hate the cancellation. Against UAB last week, I feel like we finally found the right recipe at QB with Aaron Allen, and on defense, with Williams and company. I just hope we don't revert back to bad habits.Quote:

This sucks...I have tickets for the game! I'm in Las Vegas (Nellis AFB) this week for work and arranged my flight schedule to end in DFW on Saturday instead of Abilene. My wife is supposed to drive from Abilene to pick me up at DFW on Saturday and we were going directly to the Game from there! :furious3::argue:
It is obvious UNT just got too scared to face the 2020 Bulldogs:icon_roll:.Quote:

I hate that it's a Thursday / I really wanted to go
5 PM kickoff on a Thursday? Working folks need to take a half day off to go to this game.
It's doable in 1/2 day off for me, but not likely.Quote:

Ladler out tonight.
I don't think so. It'll probably ask you to verify your TV Provider (Comcast, AT&T, Youtube TV, etc) seeing if you have it in your package before you can watch. I've been trying to find a streaming option and couldn't find one unless you do a free trial to FuboTV, Hulu TV. I think I maxed out watching my free trial with my email with each service.
Used to be you could trick fubo by adding periods into your gmail account. Google ignores periods, but some services don't recognize it as the same email...Quote:

Joe Lehring is the white hat. He worked the Tech-UTEP game.
Review early. Even if ruled complete the ball should come back to the spot of the fumble since it went out of bounds. Way back from the 11 or 14.
Ruled incomplete.
Anthony is QB1A.
Just run the ball, Anthony isn't a FBS level quarterback.
Smoke!
Mean Green defense is being as offensive as last week.
That was a nice drive after 4 weeks off.
It should be Allen, but Anthony did well on the fake screen, pass to Hebert.Quote:

And CBSSN dragging the game out as usual by taking 30 seconds to go to commercial after it was signaled by the white hat.
Skippy turtles again. He didn't forget how to do that with four weeks off. Playing conservative won't win this one.
Are you telling me we didn't win when we went up 7-0?Quote:

I think it is a new rule in college football, all games must be 60 minutes. I think it is a new COVID-type rule. It will take some getting used to. I liked the old rule, game over as soon as Tech gets a lead. Skip was the best coach in America at that. :DQuote:

Looks like Skippy had plenty of time to coach the offense down in four weeks after he burned his trick play of the week to score.Quote:

If the Tech offense is halfway competent, Tech can score enough to win assuming Skippy allows it.
Stopping North Texas may be another story.
Those who took the under may not be looking so good about now. Almost halfway there already.
I didn't bet, but I thought the under 66 was the best bet. Probably why it is best I don't bet. :laugh:Quote:

Death, taxes, and Tech giving up the long play on 3&15Quote:

QB1A back. Skippy doing the two-series rotation.
I never watched a season of football on mute like this season. Why do we always get terrible commentators?
I always listen to Dave and Teddy. I'm getting internet audio a couple of seconds before video.Quote:

Still at work, so can't watch the game, but it looks like Tucker is having a good game rushing the ball according to the espn app. Have we had any single back have 90 yds in any half this year?
Pretty good considering a month layoff.Quote:

That was a disappointing offensive possession.
UNT with nothing and we get the ball back. Lets roll them.
Did the OL go home at halftime?
OL coach Robert McFarland needs to be let go after the season.
You ain't never seen excuses like the ones we'll use to keep himQuote:

Smoke took care of it.
Nice drive that ran the clock down.
Big run by UNT. What is going on D?
Damn, 3 plays for TD by UNT.
Exactly why another long TD drive is what the doctor orders right now.
Never even covered the most dangerous receiver in the conference.
C-USA ref screwup. Pass interference should have been to the spot of the foul or the 2 yard-line there and not half the distance. That's only been the rule for about 30 years.
Get another call to the 2 this time.
And the under tickets can be torn up. 66 on the board (like the 42 more than the 24).
Great drive again Dawgs!!
That is what she said.Quote:
