I was trolling the North Texas fan forum and it's an interesting read. While there are the usual claims that UNT is going to bury BC, you also get a sense of dread.

One poster noted that while BC may be an HBCU/FCS school with an enrollment of 4,000 students, they were 9-2 last season, have won the MEAC many times, have lots of drop-downs from P-5 on the team and thus are not going to be intimidated by the likes of the UNT Mean Green.

UNT is still smarting over the 66-7 beat down Portland State laid on them last year and while many are hoping that lightning doesn't strike twice, Washington State falling to a Big Sky team 2 years in a row has caught their attention. That coupled with their loss to SMU (a game they expected to win) has left some lingering doubts in the minds of some UNT fans.

It would be nice if anybody associated with BC football would share their perspective on the upcoming game, I'd love to see it.

Too bad their former coach was not with them I think the Wildcats might have pulled the upset.
