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.

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.

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

the season cannot get here fast enough!!!!

He is where he needs to be. Good for him.

Can we trade UNT90 to Baylor for two fans to be named later? He will definitely have all the answers they need and is an expert on contracts.

After leaving UNT, how many would have ever imagined Dodge on the cover of Texas Football?

Just look at the schedule on that page...

Everyone is trying to save face and protect themselves. This is about to get real nasty, like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich nasty....... and I can't wait to watch.

MGB: What do the UNT men's basketball team, softball team need to do to be sure no changes are made? http://meangreenblog.dentonrc.com/2016/06/key-questions-unts-new-ad-will-face-part-v-where-to-set-the-bar-for-struggling-programs.html/

We'll see.

Forget it, he's rolling.

Tell me how you really feel?

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.

Yes Allen, unfortunately we are talking about gas stations.

I know that when BC comes here this September, things are gonna get real in Denton...oh wait...

Maybe he's just distracted by a Lubbock 10? Or as we call them a Denton 6.

Seems to easily be the best roster Benford has had since TM left.

If you have to put sauce on BBQ thenit's bad BBQ. Good BBQ stands on its own.

What do you think about Walmart?

We have more than enough examples of incidents that give reason to close our borders, improve and enforce our visa and our vetting process and enforce our immigration laws. Rick

I hope she winds up spending 3 and a half years at McNeese State.

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.

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.

Wish it was my anniversary...that way I could literally do to the wife what RV has been figuratively doing to the fanbase for years

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.

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]

I certainly hope not. http://www.chron.com/news/education/article/Smaller-Texas-colleges-are-reporting-more-rapes-7970355.php

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...

GAS STATIONS?? We talkin 'bout GAS STATIONS??

Sounds a hell of a lot like another defensive tackle we once had. Hope he can be just as productive too. "English is a bowling ball of destruction. He carries over 320 pounds on his 5-foot-11 frame. English is an athlete, however, despite his physical makeup. He lived in opposing backfields in his prep days. His lack of height serves as an advantage in some ways. English keeps his center of gravity low. That allows him to not only get under offensive linemen in order to push them around and get to his spot, but it also makes it hard for offenses to force English out of his gap, even with double teams. He’s best suited as a one-technique defensive tackle capable of taking on blocks to free up linebackers to roam unblocked in the running game. He’s also athletic enough to collapse a pocket and put pressure on a quarterback from the middle of the defense."

Guess I am not seeing Dodge on the cover. I just see "Our Coach is Hotter than Your Coach" Kingsbury and Mahomes. Looking and the view in Lubbock.

Bothers me the horizon isn't level.

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.

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.

Hmm, Mahoney looks like he's high, no? Or just completely disinterested...

Its a gas station, just throw in some lot lizards and you got a truck stop. If Buckee Beaver wants to build a gas station fine, just no tax breaks.

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.

Here is the current CUSBAC map: The real issues as I see them 1) No one can be left out. 2) No one is leaving, makes no sense for the P5 conferences to expand, they will probably contract. 3) SBC is going to have to be talked into reducing their per team CFB payout by taking more than 10 teams. 4) Both conferences have to be happy with the mix of teams they get. So, what are the two new lineups that can be made out of this? ETA: Also someone has to take UALR and UTA and BB only schools.

It will be my birthday and I will be taking a shot of tequila in celebration of RV leaving. It's almost time folks!

to each his own. I love the sauce there and frankly I think it is the only reason the Q is edible. Texas Q is supposed to hold up on its own without sauce. Salt Lick's most certainly could not. Has anyone here had Killen's? I would punch my momma in the mouth for their beef ribs. Lot of good Q down here.

Semi-Trucks loved making that left turn ;)

I took a massive dump at the Temple location and was quite pleased with the quality of toilet paper they had.

ISIS took credit well after the fact and his 911 call had been widely reported. the murderer also previously swore allegiance to al Qaeda and Hezbollah. it's as if he were a die-hard Red Sox, Yankees and Mets fan all at the same time!! the murderer has also reportedly frequented Pulse for as long as three years, would often get incredibly intoxicated and had a profile on a gay dating website. much like San Bernadino, these were known places, apparently of a stress-inducing nature. had this been a(nother) white man with a gun the response would've been the worn-out "thoughts and prayers, but there's nothing we can do...yada-yada about mental health issues...let's pretend to care about gays for a week until the next shooting". but oh...this dude said some vaguely muslim-y shit...YES! let's ignore the actual motivations and use this to fuel the xenophobia fire we've been stoking so diligently. Trump is right! ban all Muslims entering the country! oh...crap...but this guy was born in New York so Trump's proposed ban would've done fuck-all. so...ahh...I've got it! what if we enacted a law that required all Muslims to wear a distinguishing patch on their clothing. like a crescent moon...maybe in a bright color like yellow? I have impeccable navigational skills...maybe double click your phone right now over to google maps before you crash.

This is what I mean by saying we have squandered the past 10 years by pretending to be a 1-A program when we should have been the big dog in the conference. Thanks, RV, BOR.

go put it on a airplane-delivered terrorist kite of hate speech
