Clair, your stretching... North Texas is pathetic even when they win their conference. Didn't they go to the New Orleans Bowl for winning their conference a few years back with a 5-6 record? The Sun Belt is atrocious in football. We've been scheduling NT for years and I can never remember them being good against anyone decent. By the way, LSU scored the second least amount of points on NT. RICE scored 77 on them!!! I think that if you added up all of Rice's points in every season they've ever played, the total probably still wouldn't make it to 77. That's how bad NT is this year.
i'm not stretching anything. I am just saying that when the game was made, they didn't envision playing a possible 0-12 team, moreso a borderline bowl team.
Believe what you want (you're stretchingggg). I don't know if they envisioned playing a possible 0-12 team, but they envisioned playing a $hitty one. I don't believe they scheduled this one back in 2004. I think it was 2007 if my memory serves me correctly. North Texas 2005 = 2-9 2006 = 3-9 2007 = 2-10
