 Patrick Cobbs knew this weekend was coming nearly three years ago, when he left North Texas to chase his dream of an NFL career.

Cobbs ran roughshod over the Sun Belt Conference, racking up 21 career 100-yard rushing games while helping lead the Mean Green to four straight conference titles. By the time Cobbs graduated, he had set several school and conference records, one of which will likely fall this weekend at Fouts Field, where some of the more memorable moments in his career took place.

UNT will host Louisiana on Saturday, when senior Tyrell Fenroy will need just 30 yards to break Cobbs' Sun Belt career rushing record of 4,050.

"I had heard he was pretty close," Cobbs said this week. "I only started for two seasons, so I knew my record was going to be broken. He should be the new standard for running backs in the league."

_ Didn't you just say that? Or maybe it's just me ...



Hey, who's our rival? _

Denton

[DestinCajun]

Why do y'all keep calling them "Denton" as opposed to N.Texas? Not a flame - just trying to make sure i didn't miss a really funny joke (you know, like UL, corner of Johnston and University - Geaux ULCJU!!!) _

Monkey see, monkey do.


a/k/a "Dentonio" in Texican

I'm tired of everyone saying we have no business looking forward to Arkansas Sate, or our biggest rival is North Texas because it is the next game. I don't think anyone, players or people who spend time on here, are overlooking North Texas. I think we all see North Texas for what they are; GOD AWFUL. I think we go into Denton and handle them easily.
For the past ten years, every time the Cajuns get some kind of momentum, everyone gets nervous about looking past an opponent and we come out more afraid of losing than going out and dominating. If you look at successful teams at any level they have a certain swagger or confidence about them that is intimidating to opposing teams. Instead of being nervous about this North Texas game, why can't we just go in knowing that they can not stay on the same field as the Cajuns and dominate from opening kickoff to victory formation!
I know alot of people wil not agree with my post, but thats my piece on it!

Yeah you right. I had some expectations going into this season and here's a game where the Cajuns can vindicate me. Now, pass me some Pepto....

[Crowley Cajun]

That's great. He deserves it. I wish that they had shown a few of his long runs from the ULM game to show his speed.

That's because almost every time we've had a chance to do something great we have fallen on our faces and disappointed. I don't expect that this weekend; but you can't fault people for feeling concerned about deja vu all over again. Time to see a big crowd for 3-3 UL versus ASU!

  UL — University of Louisiana defensive lineman Hall Davis isn’t fooled by the North Texas offense he watched on film this week.

Although the winless Mean Green offense has scored only 65 points this season — last in the Sun Belt Conference —Davis said he expects a challenge when the teams play at 6 p.m. today at Fouts Field in Denton, Texas.

“North Texas has a great passing attack. On offense they want to control the ball,” Davis said. “We could be on the field a lot, since they’ve run as many as 100 plays a game.”
