The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

As a fan I love reading the other fans comments prior to the game. I have search the CUSA Team Talk page for North Texas and nothing.
Does anyone have a link to a current message board for North Texas?

Their most active board is here:

Here's their game score prediction thread. Surprise, surprise, most everyone picks North Texas. It is, after all a MeanGreen message board.

As they should. I think the Line should favor NT by maybe 6-8 points.

Watch the Rice highlights. Rice had a game plan to throw quick 3 step routes on us. Look how many their QB hit before he got injured. UNT will have a similar game plan but has a much better offensive line than Rice and a legit NFL caliber QB who is extremely accurate and adept at throwing his receivers open. The receivers and RBs he will be throwing to are faster and more talented than any we have played this year. If we get out of our rush lanes their QB is very capable of punishing us by taking off.

If we we win we will have beaten the most talented team we have faced at home since The Return.

Vegas doesn’t. If you ask me the line is screaming for people to pick UNT. That makes me lean our way, even though i thought this was our toughest conference game all offseason.

They're making some really rude comments about the Children's Harbor jerseys. Here is what one wrote:

"in order to beat UAB we must get inside their heads. Instead of wearing sick kids' names on our jerseys, we will literally field a team of terminally ill children, fulfilling their lifelong dream of playing a spotlight college football game. The Blazers will be so thrown off that we come out guns-a-blazin and win 70-0"

I know it is fans saying this vs their team, but I wouldn't mind if this became bulletin board material.

Quote:I said it before the La Tech game. UNT hadn't been tested yet. That concerned me. And then we fell short. That's important because the better team did not win that night. We have since been tested. And we passed the tests.

UAB has not been tested.

They're gonna get tested on Saturday. And they're not gonna pass. Plus, we're the better team.

Prediction on UAB fans' opinions before the game: "Bill Clark is the best coach in Alabama!" Prediction on UAB fans' opinions after the game: "I don't know if Bill Clark is the guy to take us to the next level"

We've been tested, they haven't.

UNT 41 UAB 17

This made me chuckle.

All we did was beat the hell on the road out of the team that beat you at home.

I think I know now why they are called the “mean” green. Not because the team is tough, but because their fans are classless and uncouth

I can assure you not all UNT fans approve of this kind of talk. It’s just stupid.

Agreed. I never saw this post before now, but it represents no one other than the knucklehead who posted it. Every fan base unfortunately has a few of those.

Would you mind providing a link to this comment? I can't seem to find it at gmg.com.

Thank you for the link. You will notice that the post currently has 7 downvotes. The "classless and uncouth" North Texas fans who have seen this post by and large disagree vehemently with it.

All we did was beat the hell on the road out of the team that beat you at home.

If you're going to use the La Tech game, you have to take it into context. Both La Tech and UNT played like crap the week after our game with each other. We luckily got UTEP, they got you. I think had we played you guys the week after, there's a good chance you would've beaten us. That game between LT and UNT was brutal and took a lot out of each team. (geez I sound like a LT fan here....in which no one has ever beaten them, they always lose)

Point being, you got La Tech at a good time. But that was a few weeks ago.

As for us, we've gone against "an SEC D" and scored 44. We slogged through a hangover game on the road a week after our QB could barely walk and we lost our leading rusher and prevailed. Then last week, we played "the best D in CUSA" and put up 30. Now we're going to play the new "best D in CUSA" this week. Our offense has been tested. I don't think your D has. I'm not trolling here but serious question...who is the best offense you've played this year? Now compare that offense to what you're going to face on Saturday. I know you're going to try to get QB pressure. So did USM. And a less than 100% Fine did this:

https://twitter.com/PFF_College/status/1...6516875267

8-15 for 146 yards, 1 TD and 6 1st Downs with a 109.3 passer rating on 18 drop backs under pressure. He's been pressured his whole career. He's thrown 16 TDs and 1 pick this year.

That's what I based my prediction on.

On another note....I wish I was coming into town for the game...we lived in the area for a couple of years up until this past March. Loved the area...Birmingham is a great city.

I’m going to predict a W, but I could also see us getting rolled

Seriously? You're going to thump your chest about putting 44 on Arkansas? You were correct to put SEC D in quotations... This is a team that has given up 34, 44, 34 (against a terrible Auburn offense), 34, 65 and 37 points in 6 losses. And if you want to get accurate, you scored a TD off a punt return and another off of a pick 6. So, you really only scored 30 against that vaunted "SEC D."

I was talking more about their SEC size and talent. Of which you haven’t gotten close to facing this season
