Let's have 'em. Who's gonna win, and by how much?
I know UNT is the home team, but UNT took it on the chin pretty hard last week from UTSA. On the other hand, LA Tech hasn't played a game in almost 5 weeks, so I don't really know what to expect from our Dawgs. Could we be rusty?
LA Tech - 42
UNT - 24
The Bulldogs leave Apogee Stadium victorious once again.
Tech offense struggles while defense pins it's ear back and GATA big time to win by 10.
Tech 23
UNT 13
Is this game on? Thought it was postponed or cancelled.
This feels right. Offense can't do anything in the 2nd half but defense fends off a comeback down the stretch to scrape it out.Quote:

In 3 trips to Apogee Stadium in the last 6 years, LA Tech has never lost.
Did you know that UNT Head Coach Seth Littrell --who finished 4-8 last season-- is paid more money ($1.865M per year) than any coach in CUSA? Yes, Littrell's salary is over twice Skip Holtz's 700K salary, and sits at the very top of the conference. And yet, he still can't beat the little country bumpkin school from Louisiana who not only beats him every year on the field, but also produces 10 fold the number of NFL draft choices that UNT does. UNT insiders tell me that Littrell is on the block, and has been told "beat LA Tech, or else". As a result, I'll be surprised if this game actually gets played. Look for Littrell to come up with a COVID excuse to cancel this one.
BOOOO!!!!!:furious3:Quote:

We opened as a 2 point favorite, but the line has switched to UNT by 1. Just like this whole year, I have no idea. We haven't played in a month (or more?). We should be healthy but I imagined we'll be pretty disjointed.
Another factor is the opt-out crew. I mean at least we've had time for their back-ups to get reps as the starter. Henderson hadn't been the same anyway, would have preferred to have him, but not sure what impact that makes. The other two worry me more.Quote:

Tech 31. North Texas 27.
Is this game to be telecast? If so what media?

Is that close enough for you?
The two quitters were horrible and did not contribute at all. The guy who got kicked off is a stud player, but who knows how much he was hurting the team by not being held to the same standards as most of the team.Quote:

Either way, I wish they were all three on the roster tomorrow.
Henderson had no impact this year, so that’s no big loss. We are deep at WR, so Hardy is replaceable too. Hebert should get more looks on offense IMO
Ditto! At least Hardy.Quote:

Its frustrating, but you are far too pressed over this. Its the player’s fault and he’s punished. He didn’t kill anyone. Its common, he got caught. Its something that shouldn’t even be an issue at this point, but it is.
I could judge him, I’ve never done it. I’ve never had a drink. No substances. And I choose to let it go.
You're a Tech fan and have never had a drink!? Heck, they drive me to drink.Quote:

Great story. You should write all of those stories from being a college student in the 1940's down somewhere. Would be an interesting read I am sure. Might shock the later generations to hear how our grandparents lived their teenage and college years.Quote:

Let it go if you wish. When our HC praises a former player and lies about him "opting out" we have problems.
