I don't know what will happen next season after he graduates

Sadly, JW will be gone but Benford will remain.

If only we could flip that.

I have a lot of respect for JW. He stayed with his commitment when everyone else in his recruiting class bailed. He stayed and played for a coach that he probably knows can't.

He should be a first ballot hall of famer for the way he has performed under the circumstances he was forced to endure.

God love you, Jordan Williams.

Either that, or he is a lockerroom cancer. May need someone to blame the season on, don't Cha know.

Dude can't coach!

Is this what happens when a school takes basketball seriously?

[BillySee58]

I'm still don't see how we're going to be able to put the ball in the basket once Jordan graduates. 27 points from the rest of the team speaks for itself. Even if we were missing Harris and his 6.5 points/game.

[Green P1]

Pretty good effort! Hope they had fun playing tonight!!

[Mean Green Matt]

Isn't DeAndre already lined up to fill that role?

[drex]

New coach and new players next year?

"They are not going to quit. Im not going to let them quit. These guys are going to work hard every day. No one is giving up around here. You can print that."

Vito... When you print that, be sure to include quotes from Wesley and Gaines. I'd love to hear their take on Benford's strong words here.

[UNTLifer]

We obviously didn't shoot enough from half court.

[bstnsportsfan3]

And still can't shoot free throws for shit

But are you not glad we shot all those half court shots instead?

[Rudy]

New coach and new players next year?

Half of that will be correct.

[UNT90]

Benford has no idea how to lead young men.

[golfingomez]

can we at least get a Tony Denton appearance this year?

[emmitt01]

Benford has no idea how to lead young men.

Leave the guy alone. He said he was going to "try to be a D1 coach". Just because he has yet to do that you can't say he's a liar. Geez, agenda much?

[NT03]

So only 5 games into conference and he's already having to reassure people his team won't quit ...

Just saying what he thinks a real coach would say.

He is completely wrong, of course.

Final

Covered the spread!

You people have no idea what a Heads-Up play this was right here.

The driver of the garbage truck, however he was notified, thought ahead and pulled over and dumped his payload that's on fire, saving his company the strain of replacing a $300-500k truck.

I've made a half dozen or so of these and the truck is always a complete loss by the time we climb in and put the damn thing out.

Just saying....

Rick

[Rudy]

Maybe it's a metaphor. UNT is the truck, RV is the driver, and Benford is all of the shit in the back that's on fire.

Is the company or driver responsible for any financial/legal mess if the fire spreads to the grass and - worst case scenario - into private land?

I'm sure insurance plays into that but am curious what you know. I suppose the company will gladly pay some-thousand dollars if it meant saving a truck that was $300,000+.
