Wait..what's this... Game 7???? ...

And now for a trip to the gutter.........
Al, for your rant this week. n. Texas used to be known as north texas university. they had a radio station with the call letters KNTU. then the university changed its name to University of North Texas (UNT). They chose to leave the call letters to the radio station unchanged for obvious reasons......

North Texas (2-4) at LSU (5-1) 6 pm ET GamePlanWhy to watch: This was supposed to be played on September 3rd as the opener for both teams, but Mother Nature had other ideas. Katrina forced the postponement to this week, and it couldn't come at a better time for LSU. The Tigers are coming off a thrilling 20-17 overtime win over Auburn and are just now starting to jell into the team many thought it'd be. A glorified scrimmage like this is needed to keep tuning up for the big showdown in two weeks against Alabama . Of course, no one can look past the big game with Appalachian State next week. North Texas has been one of the year's most bizarre flops with the running game not doing anywhere near what it was expected to, while dreams of another Sun Belt title will be gone with another conference loss.Why North Texas might win: The only possible chance North Texas has of keeping this within four touchdowns is if LSU decides to rest the starters after the first quarter. After intense battles with Florida and Auburn , the Tigers want to get a few good drives in, get up early, work on a few plays in live action, and go home. They're 104th in the nation in turnover margin giving away 15 so far on the year, so if the Mean Green can force a few early takeaways, it has a shot of keeping fans interested for a quarter. However ...Why LSU might win: North Texas doesn't score. The offense is the worst in America by a full 16 yards per game and hasn't scored more than two touchdowns in a game yet this year. How bad has the attack been? The schedule has been at MTSU, Tulsa , at Kansas State , Troy , at FIU, and at Louisiana Tech, and the Mean Green is averaging ten points per game. LSU's defense could keep UNT to under 100 yards.Who to watch: LSU RB Joseph Addai might be the SEC's most underrated back. He started off the year as the number two man before Alley Broussard got hurt, but he came in and was even better than the team could've hoped for with 643 yards and six touchdowns in six games. He was overshadowed last week by Auburn 's Kenny Irons, but he ran hard, fast, and well with 105 yards and his third straight 100-yard rushing day. Unless he gets his 100 yards in the first half, expect the string to be broken.What will happen: LSU's backups will try to keep it close in the second half, but won't be able to.CFN Prediction: LSU 52 ... North Texas 0 ... Line: LSU -44 Make your pick and compete against others Must See Rating: (5 lock yourself in a room to watch - 1 Commander in Chief) ... 1.5Final Score:

I'm looking forward to actually enjoying my Nacho this game and not having them hang up in my esophagus waiting for some kicker to make or miss a kick in the wind. .. Well Flynn fans.. here's your chance to see what the boy can do against subpar caliber opponent number 1 .... Frank Wycks gets that Golden Band hoppin' at halftime....
