  1. I will enjoy watching this team, if they play to their ability and mesh. I won't if that doesn't happen. In any case, I will keep an open mind about their potential until proven otherwise this season.

  2. I heard from a credible source that former UNT great Chris Davis will be helping the basketball program in some capacity. Who knows if it is true or not, but I would be all for it.

  3. Jesus people. Bucee's is basically a clean (by a wide margin) Love's or Flying J or _____ without truckers and showers. There's no "fascination". Great place to stretch your legs and pop a squat on long road trips, sometimes at the same time. Great stop if you have children. #BuceesIsTheNewRV #CleanShittersForLife

  13. A lot of people are more into bashing Benford than looking at the team. This team has a solid returning nucleus and with the right combination of growth of the young players like Brice and Brown, and a hit on some of the newcomers; could be much better than many suspect. Also add the factor which few want to admit, Benford has become a much better coach. Not hard to do based on his early years, but still it gives me some hope.

  22. Assuming Idaho, NMSU, and ULM aren't included in the deal, we get four of the remaining eight teams. We keep the CUSA west division, and pick up the closest four sunbelt schools, and MTSU to balance things out. Charlotte eventually replaces Marshall in the east when they bolt for greener pastures. Our two new 10-team conferences look like this: CUSA 3.5 UNT LaTech Rice UTEP ULL Ark St UTSA Tex State Southern Miss MTSU Karl Benson Wasteland (Misspelling intentional) WKU Marhshall FiU FaU ODU Charlotte Appy St Ga Southern South Alabama Troy Since each conference has ten teams, they are each eligible to hold a conference championship game because the Cows of Texas at Austin say they are. If the two conference champions meet at an agreed upon bowl game, preferably at a static location, then you've got yourself a mini four-team playoff from which the NCAA can go right piss off on itself.

  23. This. Send the victims a message, we don't really care what happens to you if football wins. That is our family value. On the plus side, hiring him back ought to boost the size of the jury verdicts that start coming in when victims begin suing.

  25. Marshall can complain, but they did nothing in CUSA prior to teams leaving to the AAC. 40-57 (41%) with only 2 seasons >=.500, both 7-6. Only once did they have a winning conference record. Maybe if Marshall carried their weight prior to the split, CUSA's reputation might be better. While Marshall looks good now, them having little success until after the split only fuels the perception, true or not, that they're only winning now because the conference is weaker.

  26. What are the chances that CUSA & Belt combine schools and separate into two regional conferences? If they do, what might they look like? [ULM and New Mexico State probably would not be included]

  27. I think that'll depend on the status of Willie Ivery. You have to think that Wilson, Ivery, and Wyche would get the bulk of the snaps right now. It may be ideal to redshirt Smith if we could to expand his eligibility for the future at the position...

  31. If we were to reform I'd prefer this combination. Big Gulf Conference North Texas Rice UTEP UTSA LA Tech Southern Miss UAB South Alabama I think it would be fine with 8 teams, but if most wanted 10 for a title game, then I'd structure it like this. Big Gulf Conference Texas Division North Texas Rice UTEP UTSA Texas State Old South Division LA Tech Southern Miss UAB South Alabama Arkansas State I think either set up would be a nice competitive conference for football and basketball. Great regional divisions, but not too regional as a conference.

  33. Man, it's more difficult for two men in Texas to agree on BBQ than it is for them to agree on uniforms and helmet stickers. My downfall is that I'm a Memphis ribs kind of guy, never have been much one for brisket, so I'm kinda screwed in Texas.

  35. They both look scared to death. Like someone off to the right was putting in a Jimmy John's order over the phone and ordered a #5 Vito and Dodge had a visceral reaction upon hearing the V word... Now this..... This looks F'in badass.

  37. It's not proactive to take an option today that will still be available years from now. Unless it gets us some big benefit for TV contracts in two years (which it won't) then there's no rush. It would be better for us to remain a level higher than the Sun Belt than lower ourselves to combine with them. Much of the scheduling issues can be solved by going to divisions in all sports.

  39. And the reason I am careful about how I describe this threat has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do with actually defeating extremism. Groups like ISIL and Al Qaida want to make this war a war between Islam and America, or between Islam and the West. They want to claim that they are the true leaders of over a billion of Muslims around the world who reject their crazy notions. They want us to validate them by implying that they speak for those billion-plus people, that they speak for Islam. That’s their propaganda, that’s how they recruit. And if we fall into the trap of painting all Muslims as a broad brush, and imply that we are at war with the entire religion, then we are doing the terrorists’ work for them. Now, up until this point, this argument of labels has mostly just been partisan rhetoric, and sadly, we have all become accustomed to that kind of partisanship, even when it involves the fight against these extremist groups. That kind of yapping has not prevented folks across the government from doing their jobs, from sacrificing and working really hard to protect the American people. But we are now seeing how dangerous this kind of mind set and this kind of thinking can be. We are starting to see where this kind of rhetoric and loose talk and sloppiness about who exactly we are fighting, where this can lead us. We now have proposals from the presumptive Republican nominee for president of the United States to bar all Muslims from immigrating into America. And you hear language that singles out immigrants and suggests entire religious communities are complacent in violence. Where does this stop? The Orlando killer, one of the San Bernardino killers, the Fort Hood killer — they were all U.S. citizens. Are we going to start treating all Muslim-Americans differently? Are we going to start subjecting them to special surveillance? Are we going to start discriminate them, because of their faith? We heard these suggestions during the course of this campaign. Do Republican officials actually agree with this? Because that’s not the America we want. It does not reflect our Democratic ideals. It won’t make us more safe, it will make us less safe, fueling ISIL’s notion that the West hates Muslims, making Muslims in this country and around the world feel like, no matter what they do, they’re going to be under suspicion and under attack. It makes Muslim-Americans feel like their government is betraying them. It betrays the very values America stands for. We have gone through moments in our history before when we acted out of fear, and we came to regret it. We have seen our government mistreat our fellow citizens, and it has been a shameful part of our history.

  42. Wilhelmsen's ERA went from 8.?? Back up to 10.55 last night. The guy gave up something like 9 hits trying to get a 5th out. Why he's still on this team is beyond me? Rick Excuse me...he gave up 9 hits and 6 earned runs while getting 3 outs, not 4. Rick

  44. What I find incredibly ironic is the constant complaining that UNT will not buy out a bad contract like the "big time" programs do, but when we do buy a contract out, at what amounts to chump change in a "big time" athletic program, you complain about that too. Whiners gonna whine.
