***North Texas @ LA Tech Game Thread***
Just over an hour until kickoff. I guess this game will be the North Texas fan base against all the other fans in C-USA West.

At the end of this game North Texas will either be the clear favorite to win the west, or LA Tech will have created a sizable log jam at the top of the division.

Go Mean Green!

Premature just like that goofball president, must be something in the water up there in Denton.

There still will be 3 games left and UNT could lose all three

Y'all can't count so must be something in the La water.

After today we'll have two conference games remaining against UTEP and Rice. If we win today we'll only need to win one of those two to clinch the west and we'll be the favorite in both games. Even if we lose we'll still have a good path to the division title as long as we win out our conference games and don't wind up in a tie alone with La Tech.

After today, North Texas only has 2 conference games left. Those two games are against Rice and UTEP. Together they have combined for a 1-15 record this season.

My point is that LA Tech represents the most realistic chance for a Mean Green loss. Not saying we couldn't lose to either Rice or UTEP, but the odds are against it. Context is important. I wasn't trying to claim the western division title.

And, I see know need to knock our president. I like him. He has done some wonderful things for UNT athletics.

Anyway, time to get ready for the game. I'll be on here at halftime, and post some comments.

With as much parity that CUSA west has this year, there are no clear favorites, UTEP and Rice is going to slip up on team for upset.

Defensive battle broke out in Ruston for the 1st half - 17-10 Dawgs. I really hope Skip lets us open up our passing game more in the 2nd half

I'm fairly happy with this game so far. Take away that terrible pick at the goal line and this game would be tied.

I think we have seen the best LA Tech is capable of playing. The North Texas defense has played much better then I expected them to. I'm confident the Mean Green offense will make adjustments and come out pile up the points in the second half, and I do not believe LA Tech will be able to keep up.

I'll be back after the second half.

I just came in to highlight the truly awful call by the refs. That was an obvious interception the officials decided not to review. One of the worst calls I've seen all year and that's saying something considering the awful officiating we see every week in CUSA.

That last series - terrible play calls. You throw deep on two of the three plays and then are left with a 50+ yard FG. Terrible.

I feel your pain.

and there does seem to be a "play to not lose" inspiration to his coaching and play calling.

I knew exactly what was going to happen when we kicked that last field goal to go up 6. Our defense needs a minimum touchdown lead to play with. The whole problem with our offense is it's been choked down by Skip. Just let the offense rip and see if the kids sink or swim.

skip must be related to hopson. c-usa was once a laboratory of offensive innovation. parts of the conference, the part you and we are in, for example, seems to be retrogressing.

Can't even hate on UNT. They went out and beat every single West contender. Congrats on a well earned West title.

Hopefully your recruiting continues to suck because a top CUSA class coupled with Litrell's offense is not something I would look forward to.

The second half did not go as I expected. Of course, I did not foresee the horrible officiating either. I thought LA Tech had a solid defensive game plan today. More then anything, I think Smith has accuracy issues, and that probably hurt the Tech offense more then anything. Good luck with the remainder of your season. I hope the Dawgs make it to a bowl. I would really love for 9 or 10 C-USA teams to go bowling.
