might as well add one for uniforms as well

The Mean Green held utAlmost to their 3rd fewest points in a game in program history and I LOVED every damn minute of it. https://utamavs.com/news/2021/11/18/mens-basketball-uta-falls-at-unt-thursday-night.aspx Rick

White Winged Helmet White Jersey Green Pants. What do yall think?

In the second half both white guys play 15 minutes

UTA should have never fired Scott Cross.

That 1st half was impressive. The 2nd half was a strong defensive show and would win games, but that 1st half wins championships.

I am happy they did this before they potentially lose to UAB. No backsies folks. Obviously it is a special situation. But just in general it is good if all teams in conference travel more and more fans to each others games, and if NT and UTSA were to bring 5k+ to each others games every season, that would only benefit both programs.

Ugh. Congratulations on a nice win. Most of the UTA-UNT games are really close but you can see that this UTA team has some good players but is not cohesive offensively at all. UNT has so much more size and speed and organization on both ends of the floor than we do at this point. A lot of our turnovers were our own fault...stepping out of bounds, bad offensive fouls away from the ball, charging, etc. Our guys were tentative on passes and taking shots and just not fast enough getting to the glass or loose balls and you simply can't play that way against a good defensive team like UNT. Hence the 28 point loss or whatever it was. Hopefully we will get better by January for conference play. We still have more NCAA tournament teams like Nevada and Oral Roberts and a good Lamar team to play before conference starts. Good luck the rest of the way and hopefully we will see the Mean Green play an improved Mavs team next fall at the College Park Center. Hard to believe our new arena turns 10 years old in February.

I better not be surrounded by UTSA fans in section 207 otherwise I'm gonna be mad. I won't be mad that I'm surrounded by UTSA (although I certainly won't be happy about that), but because those seats require a minimum MGSF donation.

Really really nice renderings of what looks to be a new plaza area in the endzone where it’s just the scoreboard right now. With the Lightthetower plan and how they want to expand the AC, I think something like this with the 2 big scoreboards on the sides is something we should do. In the past I’ve been opposed to doing the smaller (ish) scoreboards, but these renderings looked great and I could imagine how nice it would be at UNT. If not the small scoreboards, like we’ve talked about before, do the big one on the new expanded complex. Just something I saw very interesting and nice.

I know, and it’s wonderful

What awful timing. If true, it will no-doubt torpedo SMUs competitiveness in what I was expecting to be a very good game.

Why? Because a biased article from the local beat reporter? JF is easy picking now and he will be blamed for every problem at VT.

Not related to VT (although I heard his name floated) but I got the text this morning that Sonny is headed to TCU.

Please take him. lol.

'fit the culture' means 'willing to eat possum'.

Buffalo did play Michigan pretty well. Let's see where we both are at the end of the season. I think we should have won given our lead late, but they're a good squad too.

This team is going to win a lot of CUSA games

Why wouldn’t they separate? Clowns like Judy constantly keep adding to the already inflated number of FBS schools, diluting the value of the G5 as a whole.

If we were 10-0 with a no. 15 national ranking I would hope we would take up half of the alamodome if had to play them there

"Thank you sir for your application. Don't call us we'll call you."

Hmm. We might know somebody!

I’m sure these stadium improvements will serve La Tech very well when they are hosting the likes of Sam Houston State and Tarleton.

And they would have been held to less had we not let up. Make no mistake, we didn’t fail to perform in that second half, we LET them breathe because Mac has class

They played last night like they were trying to get the bad taste of Buffalo out of their mouths!

Not necessarily among the fan base. I go back to when Sonny was hired and it was truly an out of nowhere kind of move. He was an unpaid analyst on TCU's staff after getting canned from CAL. Part of the rationale on his hiring is that he was still being paid a ton of money by CAL and was willing to take a little less up front and bet on himself that he could leverage more $$$ down the line. I've heard Bob Stoops is a name to keep an eye on. Rick Hart (SMU AD) worked at OU and knows Stoops well. I'd also keep an eye on Tom Herman for some of the same reasons cited on Dykes. Still being paid an insane amount of money by Texas and would put together a killer staff. He gave Ra'Shaad Samples his first coaching gig at Texas before being hired away by Sonny at SMU. I've heard he's a bit of a rick with a p to deal with and that might rub some of the SMU folks the wrong way but if you can give me the UH version of Tom Herman I'm all for it.

Early buzz is kicking the tires on Bob Stoops. He was coaching for the Dallas Renegades last year so he may still have the fire in his belly to be a head coach again. Also hearing that SMU will at least interview Deion Sanders. He's close with Ra'Shaad Samples (SMU's ace DFW recruiter) and would certainly be a splash. Risky hire though for obvious reasons.

I highly doubt the AAC is above the "split" line.

I think this is going to be another really good team, but it’s looking like depth is probably going to be a shortcoming. Simmons taking up a scholarship 5 straight seasons while never being playable is a glaring roster mismanagement. Mccasland has obviously earned any benefit of doubt, but it’s still a bit frustrating. That being said, the dominant win is the much bigger takeaway here. Defense is already looking solid with the new pieces filling in well.

I see J. Simmons is in. This is his first game action since late in the ‘99-‘00 season.

Quick side note. South Carolina and James Reese just beat UAB. Reese was their second leading scorer with 14 points. UTA is not good.

UTA really making our defense look legit. Would love to look/play like this against Kansas on national TV. Defensive looks fantastic.

How much for the gate, and does it lock?

You do realize we play them in 2 weeks? That seems like a rather "duh" moment. The other half of that "duh" moment is that they are highly over-rated, and UNT has a chance to end this season with a very very loud bang. I'm excited to see some positive football action for a change, aren't you?

cool... how does this relate to UNT or FIU?

You’ve been saying SMU to Big 12 since the AAC expansion, but I’m still struggling to understand how expanding with 2-4 more G5 programs is going to help the Big 12’s reputation or bottom line.

Odd, I would kinda think that might endear him to a lot of those folks?

I've had told a few times today that Sonny is going to TCU. Its starting to leak out now but will be official on Sunday/Monday. Probably goes national during the Cincinnati game tomorrow.

This was one of the best examples of McCasland basketball, and I could watch it all day.

I’m starting to think Fuente isn’t our guy now…

Wow that is an amazing stat! Agree and love the defense as well.

HUGE night for Qualon at last night's Area Matchup with Frisco (who beat SOC in the same round the past 2 years), to advance 35-17: 15att - 200yds - 2TDs! Go Bears!

They clearly let up in the 2nd half, no sense in going 100% only to get tired or even worse injured. For what? A few more points? Coach didn't care about the fewest points allowed stat, he wanted to rotate guys in and keep people fresh for the big upcoming game. He made the smart choice.

Then king amongst ants!! We can go make our own division. With hookers and blackjack. Win it all In fact, forget the division.

I really want to wish you luck. I really do.... Its a miracle season and you guys deserve every minute of it... I'm jealous. But nope. I have several vague, general, and generous suggestions about what you can do to yourselves and one very specific one about your mother. See you in a couple weeks!
