  1. Not to mention the whole "Tony sucks and is the reason our team sucks" crowd.

    Lets see, Tony is a lottery pick before playing one game for Benford, plays a season under Benford and sees his draft stock plummet, and then gets away from Benford and sees his draft stock skyrocket.

    I wonder what the variable is in this situation.

    I think this is the point that was being made:

    Comment from Vito's blog:

    Benford has taken a lot of the blame for a disappointing season, but one has to give him credit for helping Mitchell stay focused and improve his habits away from the court during his one year coaching arguably the most talented player in UNT history. Mitchell has credited Benford with helping him mature

    I think Mitchell let's this carry over to the floor, and his draft video in the other thread points some of these problems out and provides video as support. Look, I hope Tony gets drafted #1 and has a Hall of Fame worthy career, so maybe we can let all of this die away and just support the young man as he starts his NBA career.

    Maybe we can also support Coach Benford and the program heading into his second season here. If we have another season, results wise, like last year then we can go looking for another coach, but let's let the season play out prior to jumping to conclusions.

  2. It is difficult to tell from the drawings, and it is obviously will be quite an improvement over their current stadium, but I just don't prefer the "skin over erector set" style. I love Apogee because of the brick and concrete construction and the feeling of permanence in the costruction. The erector set style, much like old Texas Stadium, always leave me with a feeling of the project never being completed. Again though, this will be a big improvement over Robertson, but it doesn't fix the problem of location.

  3. Republicans in congress won't do anything that President Obama supports such as fixing infrastructure; which would also put folks back to work. Instead, they continue to do nothing but manufacture lies about the president. Oklahoma republicans want relief for tornadoes in their state but voted against relief for Hurricane Sandy because it was in a blue state. Outragious!

    I was going to reply, but FFR beat me to the point. Funny how the truth got negative points. Since he beat me to that, I'll go with what I bolded above:

    Benghazi cover-up

    Fast and Furious

    IRS scandal

    Corrupt DOJ

    Journalism scandal

    Skyrocketing Debt

    Calling the Fort Hood massacre "workplace violence," then continuing to pay Hassan over $270,000 in salary while the victims families can't get anything.

    Then again, in his own words, he wasn't aware of any of this. It is so bad now that even his minions in the media have turned on him, but just keep believing the Republicans are blocking his every move for the sake of being a pain in his rear. Thank goodness they aren't rubberstamping his crap. All his public works projects have to be paid by us resulting in an increase in taxes, bigger government and an increase in the national debt.

  4. I've always thought he was good at the job and enjoy what he brings to the game.

    That said, I've also wondered if there's opportunity to engage the fans/community in the booth.

    What if the 3rd quarter were to feature a second person in the booth with him offering "color commentary" of some kind? Maybe you have some tailgate/attendance competition between the greeks and the winning president joins him in the booth for the quarter? Maybe an aspiring sports journalist at a local high school would attract his classmates/friends or school as a whole? Maybe a semi-celebrity or "the voice of Big Tex" could be promo-worthy draw?

    Just a passing thought.

    This would be something for George and Hank. I don't think you want color commentary over the stadium system. Also, the calling of names is up to the spotter feeding him the names unless you meant he doesn't pronounce the names correctly, then it is on him.

    I have always thought he did a pretty good job. He's called games forever and it would seem odd to hear someone else, at least for me.

  5. Funny, it was just voted most fun & friendliest small town in America. Denton is a real city, not a sterile boring town with a commercialized town square. I'm extremely well traveled and you're wrong. Denton is one of the best cities I've been to, and I grew up in Houston and have been to all of the major cities and lived in quite a few. Denton is EASILY the best in DFW and the next closest isn't even close.

    I mean. I wouldn't cast stones from a glass house...*cough* Life's too short to live in Dallas *cough*

    And your are never, ever wrong

  6. no major conference is going to take Boise period and especially not the Big 12......just will not happen

    here are a few more interesting facts

    1. north Texas did not start playing football until 1913 and SMU was founded in 1911 so it would have been impossible for TCU and north Texas to have played football before SMU was founded....you know 1913 - 2013......the whole 100 years of north Texas football thing

    2. the AAC only has 3 private schools total....Tulane, Tulsa, and SMU.......only two of those schools were ever in the WAC......and one of the two schools that was in the WAC was SMU and SMU was the school that UH joined with specifically to move to the AAC together.......so it would be impossible that UH would be upset about being stuck with "the same lot of private schools that they griped about taking from the WAC in 2005" because only two schools from the WAC are in the AAC and one of those schools UH specifically wanted to join with to move to the AAC with.....so Tulsa the other private school WAC team in the AAC is not a "lot" because a "lot" implies more than one......and there is only one former WAC private school that UH would be able to complain about being associated with (if they were complaining about that which I have never seen those complaints because they are made up in your head) because the other former WAC private school in the AAC UH specifically associated with to move to the AAC

    3. it would be difficult for UH to be griping about any "lot" of private schools in the AAC because there are only 3 total and one of them is SMU that UH wanted to be associated with to go to the AAC which only leaves two others that UH might not want to be associated with (or that you are making up in your head that UH does not want to be associated with) and two really does not equal a "lot"

    4. you have no clue what you are talking about

    meangreener's Daddy?

  7. They are in the midst of a turnaround and have $26 stock. Not too shabby. Doing pretty fine last time I checked.

    I liked that sneaky line about not all students being like me. Well, if there weren't many students like me, then you'd have about 100 students at the games, all freshman, who don't know any of the players or rules of football. Which coincidentally happened (100 students) after the GB butchered the fight song.

    Y'all are literally the worst alumni. This has to be the most braindead group of supporters. Not all, but a massive amount of y'all. Just braindead. Whenever I get annoyed or question UNT, I just remember that I've never met a single person who actually thinks GMG.com isn't full of out of touch elderly men bitching about pageantry and irrelevant things. Sausage fest, man. Sausage fest. I feel like I'm surrounded by imbeciles. I keep coming back because I enjoy discussing UNT, but the level of stupidity here...is...just...so...painfully...high...

    I totally understand why the Queen, FroggyStyle and GL2greatness troll this place. You guys are just too easy and out of touch.

    SMU! PAGEANTRY! NO PROFANITY! (But alcohol at games?) WE WANT BETTER ATTENDANCE BUT ONLY IF Y'ALL ARE CLASSY! WE'RE BETTER THAN TSSM! ACU!

    ...laughing my mf'in ass off.

    This forum chases students off like, as I posted before, Clint Eastwood chases Asians off his yard.

    Does this mean your leaving? I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of students and thankfully none have been like you. Oh wait, you always tell the truth, so you must be right.
