  1. Disappointing because this was a game we could have won. Encouraging because this was a game we could have won.

  2. All I think about is the last five years of wasted basketball. Makes me also think about what a coach like McCasland could have done with a Tony Mitchell.

  5. They're the worst. More people would have them if they were better. We had them year one, and asked to have them pulled after trying them out for two games.

  7. I hate FT misses as much as the next guy, but let's really look at this. Let's say we go 12-16 from the line, that's a reasonable 75% clip, with a -13 turnover differential. We still probably lose that game. Now for argument's sake we cut our turnovers in half, but still shoot 7-16 from the line. I'm inclined to believe we would have won yesterday. Not every game will play out that way....sometimes turnovers seem to hurt less than others. Yesterday, because MTSU was so good with the ball, every time we turned it over was excruciating.

  8. Tonight was encouraging. I am definitely not a moral victory type of guy, but tonight was a gutsy performance. UNT won the game in everything except the turnover differential (18 to 5) and free throw shooting (7/16). Higher shooting percentage. Higher 3 ball %. Out rebounded Middle and has more team assists. The turnovers and poor free throw shooting has hurt this team all season, and tonight it reared its ugly head once again. Nevertheless, very good and refreshing competitiveness, specifically on the road vs a March Madness opponent. All I ask of all of our sports programs is competitiveness I have bought in on McCasland. He's a good one.

  10. went to the game tonight, and i have to admit... i have been a terrible mean green basketball fan for the last five years, so this was my first full game viewing of the team since year one of Benford. A couple of things i noticed tonight - #3 Smart... wow, he has the green light and deservedly so. - Woolridge... i'm not sure he sat for more than a minute of this game... and both of these guys are sophomores???? -We have an assistant coach that likes to dance -Love that the offense is not afraid to push the ball and work the fast break -It was nice watching a team not worry about getting sat down every thirty seconds if they made an error -I was confused to see that we burned our last timeout with 6 minutes left, and later knew immediately that we had just pulled a Chris Webber -MTSU is good, King is great, but i think their #20 had an off game. -When MTSU used their half court press for back to back possessions against us late in the game, that was scary good. -Like everyone said... free throws are extremely disappointing -We could really use a big presence down low, but i think we can still make a run in the CUSA tourney... I would advise McCasland to pack more than one suit...

  14. Postgame Kermit had some kind words. Said MTSU played well, tipped his hat to Mac. Said Mean Green will not go away. i think we have a fighting chance to steal a win or two in the next couple games.

  15. Can’t have 18 turnovers and go 7-16 from the Line on the road and expect to win against the top teams in conference. Solid showing got some stuff to clean up!

  17. Man, we are just a couple of guys short. We could really use some of the guys that are redshirting this season. This team is only going to get better. Like the hustle.

  20. My turn to be nitpicky on inconsequential matters: Those sporadic green chairbacks in the background look awful except for what appears to be section 209. If they get the money, combined with increased required contributions on the alumni front, I wish they would decide to just put the damn chair backs in every seat on the alumni side. If I were a bajillionaire, I would personally make a restricted donation to put chair backs on the entire alumni side.

  23. Just saw that SPEC'S just opened in Denton. This is a big box store where you can get all your adult beverages, mixers and supplies. They are located on Loop 288 just down from the El Fenix location...same side of street. I believe they have gone in what was once a Staples Office Supply store. PLEASE support this business...it is owned by some great UNT grads that have already donated well over $1,000,000 to the University...lots to music, but in other areas as well. They are both College of Music grads. UNT peeps...support these folks. They treat you well in their stores, the prices are very competitive, and they will be displaying their UNT pride in this new Denton store. Check it out. And...no...I am not related and did not get paid for this public service announcement. Just think the UNT family should support its own.

  25. Depending on which free throws we make, we likely get two more because I believe we missed the front end of the one and one two or three times. So that's more like 13-18 which is an additional 6 points, matching how much we lost by. Your point definitely still stands that the turnovers were a bigger issue, especially considering how well we were shooting, but the free throws were especially detrimental when you factor in missing the front end of the one and one.

  26. Are student athletes specifically encouraged to vote in this election ? I wonder what the total vote total is for these elections ?

  27. I like this. I like it even more that it's not a straight up free ticket. You're getting a ticket in exchange for your contact information. Hopefully they'll use that information to get on the phone and start selling.

  28. Honestly, I don't think that hurts nearly as bas as being -13 turnovers. It might have even been worse than that, but the last I saw I think that was the differential.

  29. Bingo. Great effort, though. We're about as far as long as we could have hoped at this stage in year one without Gibson, Tikhonenko and J Simmons. Big homestand coming up. Let's make the Pit feel like it did back when we were last this good.

  35. And if Dimel doesn't let him it'll again be a pass for Chico? It'll just be because of UTEP? At some point you gotta look at the guy's entire body of work and see what else he's done. Winning the lottery once doesn't mean you have the magic recipe for winning the lottery. If he's had other mildly successful qbs that you would like to point out I'm all ears. The problem isn't that Rivers is some old dude. It's that at this point he's Chico's only dude.

  38. "Undermine the best interest of the university " seems akin to calling Democrats actions treasonous for not kissing the ring of the president. To me the question is whether or not athletics at UNT is for the students or alumni. At present that seems a moot point, as we alumni have a very low level of financial support compared to our peers , and the students have not given near the attendance one would expect of a university of 40,000. So, are we saying that the students don't care enough and the alumni can't afford to support our athletic program? Back to my original question: who is the athletic program for, because whoever it is should bear the brunt of funding . Just an old man's opinion.

  42. I work with a crew of guys who came here from Mexico. You guys have no idea what they go through to provide for their families. You don't want them here because they don't share your skin color, simple as that. No need to hide behind the lie that they are taking billions of dollars from hard working white Americans. Just the same way you see it as Kaepernick pissing on the graves of veterans and not someone protesting the way minorities are treated in this country. & LOL at speculation on where specific drugs are coming from. I will stick to the football forums...
