Balance of power in flux? Between who? TCU, UTA, and SMU?

Because Tony Benford is still stealing money from UNT..

I'm not too worried about Benford*.  He'll probably get through January and be on his merry way.  I hope @TheTastyGreek puts together another coaching deathwatch contest this season.

 

* Unless for some ungodly reason, Dickenson is our next AD.

I don't know if we get Tasty back. 

Hope to God we do.

UTA dominates DFW in my humble opinion.  SMU has so far been a flash in the pan, UTA has been doing it for years and beating the breaks off people.  I think UTA is the 2nd or 3rd best program in the State if everyone played a giant round robin.

Kinda fell apart last year after their stud, future NBA player got hurt. It'll be interesting to see how they and he rebound.

Great new arena (good Lord, they needed it) and a GREAT game presentation.

I doubt I'm gone for good. 

This personal UNT malaise has happened to coincide with a big year for me. Family-wise, and professionally, neither of which I really want to elaborate on in any great detail. Suffice it to say, as much as things suck right now for NT sports, they're going well on a personal level. 

Work-wise, my biggest distraction finally clears my plate around the holidays. So, right about the time that we may be forced to admit another year of basketball failure, I should be more available to rework that coaching recruiting forum.

This gives this grumpy old guy reason for optimism, as does the possibility of a new AD.

I don't think we need to spend a lot of time worrying about Dickenson as the AD, Bedford coaching at NT past February or comets hitting the Earth before April. I put them all in about the same level of likelihood.

I hope you are right, but one of those things doesn't fit with the other 2.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
