Seriously? He and his teenage daughter were included in the nine people that died today and this is what you come up with? He wasn't my favorite, but this is a tragedy.

This week he had a total of 11 rebounds,, 16 assists, 60 Points, and 0 turnovers. If he is not CUSA POW it will be an injustice.

No, not at all. There was a lot of hush, hush around Kobe's case. There was a flat-out lie admitted in the Duke LAX case.

Harsh, but I kind of agree with the satire. People forget what the guy did. He was an OG celebrity rapist.

Talk to Branard this morning. Said his visit went great! I like our chances. But some P5 are coming in late. Hopefully we can hang on

My impression of JD is that he doesn't say something is a done deal unless it is. Even if it isn't official. If you want an official announcement, it's not out yet. But I would say it's well past speculation.

My wife and I attended The High Porch Picnic. I'm guessing there were around 1000 people in attendance. The Presentation of the Flag was by the Marine Honor Guard. The two family members that spoke were Hayden's daughter Robin and son Kelly. Speaking on behalf of SMU was Chuck Hixson (SMU QB 1968-70) and Jerry Levias (WR 1966-68). For North Texas the speaker was Mike Henry (OL/GA 1975-77). For the Hawkeyes Head Coach Kirk Ferentz spoke about Hayden's time at Iowa. Among his former assistants present were Bill Snyder, Bobby Stoops and Dan McCarney. Robin Fry thanked the Jones Family for them allowing the event to be staged at The Star. It was a very nice service in a football setting to honor the life of one of the greatest coaches of all time! And we made it back to the Super Pit for the final 10 minutes of the UTEP game!

Do we take a QB? We are loaded with underclassmen, but I would think we would like to bring in one per class. With that in mind, here are some that are still available? Chandler Galban: Frisco Lone Star, 3 star .8356 (Been mentioned by either @TheReal_jayD or @BillySee58) https://247sports.com/Player/Chandler-Galban-46049954/ Brayden Thomas: Bowell, 3 star .8265 https://247sports.com/Player/Brayden-Thomas-46037477/ Dillion Markiewicz: McKinney North, 3 star 82 rating by 247, no composite https://247sports.com/Player/Dillon-Markiewicz-46082486/

Third times a charm? 😂

Very poor reflection on you. Sad.

Didn't the students vote in favor of the athletic fee?

This is 100% correct. Unfortunately there’s a large part of our fan base and even a faction on this board that feel otherwise. That it’s someone else’s job. This is college sports. We (the fans) are part of the team. Everyone needs to do their part. If next year we put 30,000 every game in Apogee, 10,000 every game in the Pit. Heck, if we sold out the 1,500 seat soccer stadium every game or the 1,000 seat softball facility every game. You don’t think we would start getting ranked teams? Players want to play in good atmospheres in front of big crowds. Good fan support would transform this program almost immediately.

How about an new arena for the e-sports teams or they will they get the pit when the new basketball arena is built?

Start playing MWC schools now. University of New Mexico , CSU and others.

Anyone else notice how tired our video boards are looking these days? Surely Wren & Co. have taken notice and can't be happy with this busted look either. (Photo was taken at the UAB game on 11/30/19) I rewatched the Master Plan video and it shows 4 videos boards in the corners of Apogee. Looking forward to the much needed upgrade. Let's make it happen ASAP.

Yikes!

He got it! Go Javion.

Couple of projects I have heard being mentioned...yes, next up "larger" project if the expansion of the athletic office area to include more weight room space, some new Club Seat type seats and expanded office space. A "smaller"project I was told about recently involves building a tailgate area for RV's/Campers across the street on Bonnie Brae from the mail Apogee entrance in the field where the team/players currently park on game days. Complete with paving, electrical hook-ups, etc. For those looking for a center court for tennis or indoor courts...not on the near horizon at this point in the planning stages. Bruzzy's golf practice facility also getting attention.

I personally like these two kids https://247sports.com/player/asher-link-46084338/ https://247sports.com/Player/Griffin-Brewster-94314/ But the feeling i get with the staff is they arent going to use a scholly just ot get a qb. Unless its someone they really like. Especially with the number of QB transfers these days. I think they are still trying to land a Grad Transfer Qb to come in a compete.

All the internet is writing his obit and purposely ignoring WHY he was also so hated. They pass it off as player-hating.

I think Ekeler is a pretty smart guy, and is coming here because he thinks it's better for him and his family. Whether the money is less or the same right now, you can bet he's found reasons, tangible or intangible, to think returning to UNT is the best choice. Heck, maybe he was just happier here. If Graham Harrell has proved nothing else, he has shown that, for the first time in a while, North Texas can give a coaching career the right trajectory. Whether it's the right ultimate destination is yet to be proven, but we're getting there. Thank you, Brint Ryan and others.

Now reporting 9 people died in the crash including his oldest daughter

I stand corrected. I paid My feed as a student and went. In my mind at that time, it was free and I didn’t have much money for other entertainment. Plus, it was my school, so I went to support them.

For possibly the first time in 140 years the members of my fire station, which are mostly under the age of 35, chose to cancel our subscription outright to the FW Star Telegram over its repulsive content, not so we can simply read it online. Rick

We brought almost 6300 in the final CBI game so it is possible. That game was a blast, not just because of the win and what it meant, but the atmosphere and the impact the crowd had on the game. Wren and company have several weeks to plan out a marketing strategy for the ODU and Charlotte games. Hopefully we see something in the coming weeks.

Looking at the players’ twitter feeds (Hamlet, Z. Simmons, Bell, Gibson) each made note of the energy that the crowd brought and specifically noted that the crowd size was bigger yesterday. Hamlet even asked point blank for a sell out at the next home game. These boys notice. And you know who else does? Recruits. You think that defensive tackle recruit we had in on a visit didn’t take into consideration the amount of fan support he did (or didn’t) observe yesterday afternoon? We have a part to play if championships are what we truly want. Let’s play it.

Glad it went well...he deserved a good service.

I don’t think student turnout was poor, I saw a lot of students there. I just don’t think they stay in the student section....

The next big thing on the agenda is updating and greatly increasing the size of the weight room and athletic center. However, someone came in with a big check and the golf team is getting bumped to the head of the line. That's how these things work to some extent.

Let's tap the brakes and beat Nutsak. They put up 87 vs. La Tech. One game at a time.

Rausaw and McCrae are ends and their playstyle would shift more with a front change, so they’re looking forward to fitting in and doing what they need to do."

Next Wednesday

I wouldn't say it is entitlement; definitely not spiting people who paid for those seats. They're thinking either, "no one is using it so this is not harming anyone", or "I'll use it until someone kicks me out/claims it." This is just college kids being college kids. The staff needs to be re-trained. Make it a point to check tickets as people walk into the seating area. This was not a huge issue when attendance was terrible. But things are getting intense now and it's upsetting many people.

Seems like, for whatever reason, society gives the "all time greats" a pass. Look at Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, and to a lesser degree, Bill Cosby. But the dichotomy of how society in general views Mike Vick to this day (despite him spending time in prison) VS how Kobe is viewed (apparently, sainted) is odd.

I said DT, not d-lineman

There is a mistake on the QB numbers. We have 4 scholarship quarterbacks...1 RFR (Kuehne) and 3 RSOs (Aune, Bean, Martin).

I mean, look at what just happened here folks: A Special Teams coach at a P5 school that’s on the upswing, decides to leave that role in order to take the same role @ North Texas, likely with a pay cut. That should speak volumes to direction we’re trending that a guy would prefer to make a lateral move, role-wise, from a P5 to a G5. Very glad to have him back if this is indeed happening.

North Texas (14-8, 8-1 Conference USA) catches its eighth straight conference win after defeating UTEP (12-9, 3-5 C-USA) 67-57. This is the Mean Green’s first win at home against the View Full Article

Horrible news and makes me feel much more mortal.

Net, Sagarin. Massey composite, and Pomeroy rankings all have NT above WKU. NT is ranked first by Massey composite, Net and Sagerin. With WKU picked by RPI and La Tech by Pomeroy.

Agreed. I also wish the student sections were on both ends. The band plays behind the goal and then the two sections directly beside it are for students and then the same on the opposite end. It would really help fill out those camera shots during free throws and hopefully affect the opposing team some.

I get years have passed but the travel is the same, time zones, empty seats, no actual rivalries to speak of either. The empty seats in HD is a horrendous optic. Littrell even said we need to play in Houston every season for recruiting whether it be Rice or Houston. It sure had nothing to do with Twitter either. There isn't a substitute for being there as a recruit. Also, I can tell you from first hand experience it sucks knowing no fans of your team will ever be at away games. Either way we aren't going anywhere when we can't win against powerhouses like Charlotte and Old Dominion....

Now Texas has a bubble. Haha

Maybe it’s just the past games in the streak making me think this then. Tristan and Josh were our clutch guys, Josh either led or was close to leading the nation one of those years.. But this year it seems like no matter who goes to the line they hit their FT’s. Last night we shot over 91% as a team. Rick

I saw this big fellow in the stands tonight. I couldn't miss him in his red Carter HS warms ups. Let's hope we land him!

Does anyone else remember that game at Tulsa--I think it was 2013--where the "North...Texas" chant was far and away drowning out every sound in the stadium? While we're not going to carry a huge crowd to Western Kentucky or Southern Miss, we can bring a decent crowd within a half day's drive. That said, give me the Mountain West over the current C-USA any day.

I would like to see a poll on this subject because I think you might be surprised by the outcome.

That’s exactly what it is. They know they are a premier program for that league and want others in the MWC to add value to them. And that’s why they’ll end up in the AAC. They won’t get preferential treatment but will get a lot more TV money.

Thank you! We win a couple football games and people here start NY6 talk. Beat a few CUSA b-ball teams and start figuring out NCAA seeding. Don’t forget this team has faded the last two years.
