My wife’s pedicurist has a close friend who knows a guy who saw a realtor drive past Rodney Delong’s house. That realtor attended Purdue. Our coach is as good as gone to Boilermaker country folks!!!

BTW...Your Mean Green just walked out of WACkO with #20 Baylor’s hardware. When was the last time we’ve have a team beat two ranked teams in the same season, much less in three weeks time? Rick

That's like getting a bowl invitation with a 5-7 record and winning the bowl game.

OK, now it's time for the thread talking about how long we can keep the coach.

Just because NT hired a coach and named him the tight end coach, does not necessarily mean the tight end position is going to be emphasized anymore than other Littrell years. Does anyone really think NT hired a full time coach to only be involved with one position and at this time two scholarship players? A lot of football coach titles are more associated with the pay range than their actual duties.

Soooo, if NT beats the #20 team and the #10 team, why aren’t we ranked ?

Our odds look good but time will tell...GMG

He & Keith Wooden were a nice combo in the post.

so is beating the #10 team in the nation...it goes both ways

McCasland's team's pattern of starting hot and faltering late is worth keeping an eye on. Concerning to me.

guys, I'm pretty sure we can replace the 3 receptions for 29 yards he had last year. Hopefully for him this was a good separation and i wish him nothing but the best, but acting like we just lost a superstar in the making, im not convinced.

losing to california baptist (2-9) doesn't help...

Cole McCrary is an interesting player to watch. He was really raw out of high school but after a year in the system and in the weight room I want to see what he can do.

The first three games were for seeding placement for the actual tournament, which started Saturday evening. We were 0-3 and were the last place seed and matched up to play the first place seed 3-0 ULL...and won to get to the championship. We went into the championship 1-3 and beat Kent St to go 2-3 and won the trophy. Rick

Sounds viable to me...we will really miss him...hope he stays to finish out the season.

1. You were talking about next year, so I did mean Miller and Duffy who are seniors. McCasland is a defense first coach, I don't think he is ever going to have a team that consistently lights it up. 2. You assume that the reason that McCasland goes with a small lineup is because he doesn't have quality bigs. I think that is to be determined, I think it is just as likely that he prefers a 4 guard lineup. 3. It is obvious that everyone wants that quality big man, there are just not a lot of them out there. Plus why would he want to play for McCasland with his demonstrated passion for small ball and the outside game. 4. So McCasland goes into next year with a solid guard rotation of Woolridge, Draper, Gibson and Smart. Add in Johnson and Wise, who both look like very promising recruits. J. Simmons is basically playing forward in a guards' body and Z. Simmons who could develop into a special player. He then has 3 almost unknown tall players including one who is listed as a guard and another who's known as a distance shooter. What this team needs most is a rim protector and rebounder. None of the redshirt freshmen or Alcindor seem to be that type of player. I predict McCasland will sign a guard and a post player, and maybe one other big if he clears a spot which is likely. McCasland is a defense first coach, so look for defensive forwards without great offensive skills which he maybe able to sign. I don't think your ultimatum at the end is really true. Unless he has a disastrous next year, I don't see NT making any coaching moves.

After an undefeated weekend in the Mean Green classic, the North Texas softball team (10-4) competed in the Baylor invitational in Waco and won the invitational championship against Kent State View Full Article

Thanks, BS58!

Whether we win our next three or lose our next three, Mccasland cannot sit by and feel like our win total alone is enough to warrant running it back with this roster next year. This team needs offense and quality size and we only have two scholarships left to do that.

Just before first pitch of the championship game of the Baylor tournament this morning our softball gals prove that it’s actually possible to do a unified chant that not only has a unified beginning...but most importantly an ENDING!!!! Yes........an ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who knew that it was ever possible? Rick

This team is like a cheap suit, looks good at the beginning, but the quality sucks.

Not sure what all the moping around is for. Chumley barely contributed. He likely graduated and was ready to move on. Smith is the man at TE, and I bet we'll get Chumley's production, if not more, from our new Freshman TE - Alberding.

Not quite. He came on in Mac's last year and redshirt in 2015. I have no actual info, but my speculation is that the new coaching staff may have not been interested in him or vice versa. From everything I've seen and read, hes a great athlete, so I am disappointed. Reeder likes TEs, so this move really surprises me considering how few we have on the roster unless there was something else behind the scenes that we are unaware of.

Hate to see him go. Felt like he was under utilized due to his size and athletic ability and hope he made the right decision for himself. I wish him well in the future. Time for the next man to step up.

Really. Like, how many actual TE's did we have on the roster? Two, including Chumely.

Ah hell no? What happened? This is a tough loss for the team!

I think the loss of JUCO’s hurts the big boys more. All the JUCO players who have top shelf talent AND grades get snatched up by P5’s as depth.

I was really hoping that he would. 😢

Probably a coincidence and due to factors out of coaching staff control. Conference Play First Half vs. Second Half 2016-17 ASU 7-2/4-5 2017-18 UNT 5-4/3-6 2018-19 UNT 6-3/2-4

Love it! ⚾

Miller hasn’t missed a game. Guessing you mean Woolridge. We only played one game without Woolridge and Duffy. We haven’t been good offensively all year, even when both were healthy. Record was good, but we were not exactly lighting it up. Quality size. We have one guy who fits that category (Zach Simmons). A 6’4” player who is struggling to crack 30% from the field and the free throw line in conference play is not how I would describe a quality big. Neither are guys who Coach Mccasland struggles to trust to even play more than a few minutes (Alcindor and Arikawe). We don’t need to “go big.” I’m the last person who has ever advocated that. We just need enough quality size, which to me is three quality big men. Right now we have one with two open scholarships left, and some pressing wing scoring needs to boot. Yes, he had put himself in a pickle by not making great use of scholarships. That’s on him. His responsibility to figure it out. If he makes the decision to try and get more out of the guys who are on campus but haven’t shown the ability, then he better make sure it works. Same if he decides to move on from those players.

I-Hop is a "small business"???? I thought I-Hop was a national chain.

Basketball forum?

Started 18-6....finished 20-12. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016–17_Arkansas_State_Red_Wolves_men's_basketball_team

did coach mac have an end of season collapse at ark state, because he had one here last year and seems to be having on this season. I like him as a coach but its starting to become a pattern

See what happens when we play Alcindor!

Well we can put the theory that the coaches are redshirting Alcindor to bed.

Good. Those kids are paid too much already! Can you believe they want to raise the minimum wage to 27 cents, calling it a “living wage.” Ha, just wait until they’re replaced by a kiosk.

one of the nicest dudes from the JJ era.

Meh

The good news is I guess there is a chance of getting the players back on the court this season. McCasland is downplaying the situation and of course they are not going to give out any real injury information. Right now NT is a horrible situation, continue on using 6 players and risk losing another due to no game rest or remove redshirts for very few games. McCasland is probably making the right move because the team is not going to win without Woolridge and the others anyway, even burning some redshirts.

Does not make a lot of sense, don't listen to the members that have the most information about the subject. I can see not letting them vote on an issue that might directly benefit them, but don't understand the ban on discussion.
