From Twitter it seemed Ivery and Tucker also played well. Deep at RB.

Really wish they would stop using the picture of her with the binder.
Bad Karma.
Or you could learn the difference between a binder and a portfolio.

Does this mean your stalking of SSP has ended?
That is just crazy talk. Plus Steph loves me.

Just thank goodness we're not considering any of those hacks from the Maryland coaching staff.

I am not sure that Brett and I have the same definition for the word "stranglehold." Apparently his means something about the coaches doing everything they can for McNulty to lose the job, including a wide-open competition and bringing in a JUCO.

I thought the all had their moments on Saturday, I just felt Dajon was slightly better overall. I did not see him make a major mistake which is so critical with this staff (maybe too much so frankly). Dajon and Means seemed to get equal shares with McNulty getting the most and Greer second.
This.

Billy, IIRC Osborne graduated and left with a year of eligibility remaining.

My favorite part is how the article mentions a few times how Ft. Worth is not Dallas, but the website did the following:

Yes and it should depend on two things: what the kid wants to study abd what they want out of their college experience. I have worked as an advisor at both so this example is a good example actually. UTD is a very strong science and engineering school. Superior to UNT. But be damned if I would tell a kid to go there for history or English lit., etc. Those departments were barely existent as far as I am concerned. Same for music and fine arts.Did you read far enough down to get to the UNT vs UTD scenario?
Regarding the second question I posed, UNT has UTD beat hands down on college experience and not only due to sports. Residence life, clubs, pretty much everything. When I worked their in 2007 they didn't even have a dorm. (They do now.)
Where UTD does kick UNT's butt up and down the court is funding. They give their top students cold hard cash to attend UTD.
So the "average" parent might steer their kid towards whichever school mirrors what they experienced or wish they had experienced. Which is why UTD was filled primarily with Asian and South Asian kids with parents that insisted they be either a doctor or engineer. Or kids that lived nearby. It was a choice of proximity and/or academic excellence.
A UNT alum might encourage their child to UNT over UTD because they enjoyed the experience and what the kid to have fun while they go to college. Or because going to UTD to be a theater or RTVF major just doesn't make a lot of sense.

I think your scenario above is a non-starter. MIT vs UNT? Duh, unless they want to play jazz trumpet that choice is obvious. I think the more realistic question would be UNT vs TxSt or UH or even Tech. Not a lot of difference in Tech and UNT, but tons of kids go there because it has that 'big time' label with Big12 sports. Even your MIT vs Alabama is silly. Anyone who knows anything about academics knows that Alabama most SEC schools in generally are not very strong academic schools. (Now most of the Big10, that is a totally different story).
I think the effect comes in when kids and parents are considering similar schools. Even if a kid isn't into football or basketball, they may have lots of friends that are and get excited about a school because of the buzz.
I remember what George Mason experienced after its tournament run a few years ago. It was pretty amazing. I would almost 100% guarantee they didn't steal any kids away from MIT or Stanford, but both the number and quality of their applications went up dramatically. If UNT were to capture that type of attention, we wouldn't be keeping your kid in state if she had a MIT scholarship in hand, but some kids that might have decided on OKSt, Tech, or Colorado might decide to stay home.

No need to kick the horse Rick. I am just trying to manage expectations. We've dug a hole that we need to climb put of in football and basketball.
Isn't that was this place has become?

I think SSP has a crush.
Duh. On me.

State funds cannot be directly used for athletics, but that is far from athletics having to be self supporting. Again, were do you think all the funds that magically balance the budget come from before and after any dedicated athletic fees were enacted?

Basketball has been deconstructed.
I'll keep saying it until something is done about it.
So you are ok casting blame on every player the first 2 years as being cancers (cause when you say it in the vaugue manner that RV said it, that is exactly what you are doing)?
Surprised by that. Also surprised that you want Benford to be here the full 5 years, no matter what happens next season. That really makes no sense, since he wouldn't be able to recruit without an extension after next year.
I would think you would want what is best for the program.
Weird.

Plenty of guys who could be good here (my guy is still Scott Cross), it just doesn't appear that anything will happen until next year. At that point I don't know what our financial situation will look like.
Not sure why you think he would want to leave. Not only is it his alma mater, but currently it is a better job.
