  1. The Big 12 is chomping at the bit to get ahold of Louisville and Pitt once they make themselves available.
  2. Duke has to keep its options open. The ACC is toast if the projected defections happen. Seven current ACC members; Clemson, Florida State, North Carolina, Miami, NC State, Virginia, and Virginia Tech are exploring options with Florida State and Clemson already suing to escape. On the other side The Big Ten wants Notre Dame and has already annexed about every single Irish rival except Stanford. They are now in perfect position to take both. Virginia and North Carolina are the top prizes bolting from the ACC because of their media value and are highly desired by both the Big Ten and the SEC. There will be a mass exodus of remaining schools applying for Big 12 membership if Stanford, Notre Dame, Virginia, and North Carolina all accept their forecasted P2 invitations. This will leave Boston College and Wake Forest with the Washington State/Oregon State dilemma; owning a legendary conference name but without any media contracts, and Cal and SMU relegated to the discard table again.
  3. Sad to see him go but he has to do what's best for him especially if he didn't foresee getting sufficient playing time here. I loved when his father played at North Texas during the Jimmy Gales years, and his brother Bobo would have been best served if he had transferred here after committing to LSU and enrolling at UCLA. Baylor never provided him an opportunity to develop. Best of luck young man.
  4. Society has been pressured since 2020 to make a lot of incredibly stupid decisions.
  5. Pure and simple, Sanford deserved to win. That's fact. Another fact is that both of my nieces graduated from Samford.
  6. So, you're saying that if somebody offered you a quarter million dollars to cheer for Oklahoma this year instead of North Texas that you would turn it down? If you, a dedicated supporter can be bought, then how can you expect a player to not take advantage of that offer.
  7. I'd love for every star player to stay at North Texas for the remainder of their college eligibility, but... I also want what's best for our players. If a player receives an extremely lucrative offer to play elsewhere I fully encourage him/her to transfer and accept it. Perry did EVERYTHING he could do for this program while he was here and only left when KSU reportedly offered him a quarter million dollars. That's pretty serious money for most college students. We just need to build our fan base to the point where we can afford to retain that type of player.
  8. This was an outstanding season and I can't believe that North Texas basketball fans are complaining about losing in the second round of the NIT, on the road to a very good Seton Hall team, with a team that lost its coach and most of its starters to graduation and the transfer portal. We've been spoiled as very, very few teams win as consistently as our does. The teams are doing their part. Our challenge now is to build up the fan base so that we can afford to retain productive players. That means selling tickets, marketing the program, and promoting the hell out of our branding.
  9. Some days you eat the bear, and some days the bear eats you. All our guys can hit layups and free throws. Today they just didn't fall while we were playing against a very good team in a loud hostile environment. Basketball Gods, please grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

  11. We're in trouble. Everything's falling for Seton Hall, nothing's falling for North Texas. The opportunities are there but we tempted fate by wearing our bad luck uniforms.
  12. We started the game so well, then Seton Hall has outscored us 25-10 since we passed the ball to the official. Not only does it look bad, but monkeying with uniforms just causes mistakes.
  13. All started when Walker passed the ball to an official who's also dressed in black.
  14. I don't know, but Walker just passed the ball to an official. Playing f*f* with our uniforms could continue to be costly in close games.

  16. I would still love to see him in our Hall of Fame. Does the transfer totally eliminate that opportunity?
  17. Ah, yes, those good old days with Larry Brown. And only a couple decades after SMU Basketball earned the much deserved DEATH PENALTY. For those that don't remember, SMU earned the Death Penalty for Football, Men's Track & Field, and Men's Basketball. Even though SMU Men's Track & Field, and Men's Basketball both earned the Death Penalty, the incredibly kind and overly forgiving NCAA only imposed that Death Penalty on their Football program. ***The entire SMU Athletics Program was already on probation and SMU Basketball earned the Death Penalty the moment that Center Jon Koncak admitted that the basketball players were also being paid.***
  18. More sad days for Our Little Ponies as they terminated the coach who guided them to one of their most successful seasons they've experienced in three decades without subsequently getting slammed with probation. Stay Prissy Little Sissy!
  19. How sad. We beat up on mighty tigers and they lose to garden shrubbery.
  20. I too wish they would have stayed. I am in no way criticizing these players as I appreciate the incredible contributions to our program by both of them. All I am pointing out is that in this instance specifically they would have both experienced equal, or even better on court success by staying with North Texas. And let's see if they were truly appreciated and get into the Hall of Fame at the schools to which they transferred.
  21. So true, we survived at the end of the game in spite of those. They almost did their damage creating the LSU Miracle Comeback as we were outscored by a dozen in crunch time.
  22. North Texas advances to the Round of 16 while both Kansas State (Perry) and Xavier (Ousmane) lose their first NIT match on opening day and both former North Texas star players have sadly ended their college careers with a whimper.
