McCasland should be forced to forfeit half of this years salary due to coaching only half the season. 17-1 to 20-11. That is pathetic.

I never understood why he never got more credit, both here and in the NFL. He had over 130 sacks in his career at SF, which is more than Charles Haley. He was credited with being one of the first "designated pass rushers" when he played at Oakland, which extended his career. He made the pro bowl twice and was all pro twice. Around the time that he was drafted, he bought a new car and had vanity plates put on it that said "NASTY".

16-1 but yeah, this is on him and it’s on him to take responsibility and realize this collapse wasn’t a fluke, and on him to figure out how to fix it.

Tough to beat a team 3 times in a season. I think we get the best of them in Frisco.

Actually, let me refute my last post. Benford's first season was the the most disappointing season I've ever followed. This is probably second.

I can’t believe I bought a plane ticket back to watch us. 😕

Do you really think a legit big man recruit is going to worry about sitting behind Simmons?

He was 70 years old

Yeah...10 of the 20 wins were vs the likes of Grand Valley Tech A&M. Spare me.

UNT Football = UNT Basketball The parallel is there. In both sports, when we play more physical teams that delivers body blows, we fold almost immediately. When we play finesse teams we have proven able to out finesse. So we know the problems. SL seemingly ignored the problem given the layout of the 19 recruiting class. And GM keeps ignoring the problem with his infatuation with guard play and scholarship offers for the next class. So, given this information, expect more of the same. Basketball the last 6 weeks has been Benford ball bad. Football the last month was not Dodge* ball bad, but it was bad. *The bowl game was maybe Dodge ball bad. Either way, shit has to be fixed.

Softball anyone? The team is 2-0 in conference and go for a sweep of Southern Miss today,...just in case your in need of a pickmeup. Rick

The best part I took from that second game yesterday Scotty is that our freshman Tindall gave us 5 solid innings surrendering only 2 earned runs. And yes, the errors have gotta be addressed. We’ve committed too many. Rick

No it will be worse.

The difference in UTEP's budget is gas money to get to the other schools.

FIU 73 -------- NT 58 Final

Then why did you suggest it?!?

I assumed we would have rested our guys like Woolridge and started Alicendor and really milked our bench. The fact we didn’t do that and are down 20 points is embarrassing! I have no clue what we are trying to do.

Barring some sort of miraculous comeback in Miami our two teams are heading into the conference tournament on a combined 10-game losing streak.

2-0 in conference is a nice start. Rick

Hmmm. Somebody went on a veritable -1 spree in this thread. The Russian bots who sow division evidently love them some Tony.

I find this shocking and laughable at the same time. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction.

Remarkable how Benford failed upwards.

hoooooo boy we made it to dollar general!

Kinda like footballs 2nd half collapses. I'll go ahead and say it.......FIU is lickin its chops to hand our ass to us again in the tournament.

This is a disappointing game, not so much because of the loss; but there was very little defense played by NT. They basically took the night off on that end of the court, and let FIU drive to the basket any time they wanted. Defense is the key to McCasland's teams, and without much better effort NT will be out in game one. To NT"s credit they did try to get the ball in to the post, but Simmons had an awful night shooting. Shooting 33% is not going to win many college games.

I heard the same thing but looking at the conference standings I think if Rice loses we still get 9 seed. Not 10 and this play la tech I think.

We don't match up well with them. At least we probably don't have to worry about losing our coach. I think.

Have you listened to the radio broadcast at all? You do understand that tanking this game means we play FIU in round 1 of the tournament with I think an 8:30 pm tip-off? I'd much rather have the team try to win and play someone different.

Do you know how many points Alcindor has scored? Our walk-on needs some experience as well if we're going to go that deep on our bench.

So You are saying he will get hired by Texas Southern next? Whats your beef with Southern?

😮, Tony will show us all we were wrong about him. He will win a game in the SEC tournament and LSU will make him the new head basketball coach. He has to clean up where ever JJ has been. Look what he did for us after JJ.

You had me until “Benford knows the game pf basketball” He’s basketball Dodge...this can only end in despair

So true and dont disagree about today's vegas... but la sucks!

I live in Bowling Green, KY which is 112 miles from Louisville. I was declared the biggest & best Mean Green fan (by default) in the entire state of Kentucky way back in the 90's when I moved back to my home state after graduating from UNT.

Hahahahahahahahaha..... hahahahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahahahaha thats all I can say about that

True. For me, Vegas twenty five years ago is better than today's Vegas.

to each his own man...for me, vegas is infinitely better

There's a new bowl in LA between the Pac 12 and MWC. I'll take LA over Vegas any day.

"Myrtle Beach Bowl: Newly-created ESPN-owned game will rotate between Conference USA, MAC and Sun Belt." Talk about the crumbs!

If he wins it all......OMG!!!

The Mean Green Mean Green Mean Green t-shirt is cool. D-Gizzle stepping up their game. Too bad I live 800 miles away else I would have me one and a couple tubes of Pepsodent to boot.

Which Dollar General would that be?
