  1. All those fancy promotional OKState graphics during the game...haven't seen one for us.
  2. Absolutely! Yes! We must and we will worry because that's what worry warriors do. It's our journey. It's our destination. What are we? Worriers! What do we do? Worry!
  3. I am so sad but, at least maybe there might be less talk of losing Max.
  4. A few highlights from the article which is behind a paywall: FORT WORTH, Texas — American Athletic Conference commissioner Mike Aresco marked the start of the AAC men’s basketball tournament Thursday by releasing a statement that once again took issue with what Aresco believes is an unhealthy division between Power 5 and Group of 5 conferences at the FBS level. “In recent weeks I have seen references to the ‘Power Five’ in interviews and public conversations which suggest that the P5 is virtually the exclusive focus in college athletics,” Aresco wrote in the statement. “This is profoundly misguided, especially in the current environment.” Aresco spoke with The Athletic on Thursday afternoon from Dickies Arena, the host venue for the AAC tournament, to expand on his comments and what he believes is the negative stigma the power-conference distinction has created for the AAC and others. Time to ‘rethink’ the divide? “What’s with this P5/G5 business? It’s time to rethink it,” Aresco told The Athletic. “Let’s just talk about FBS schools. Let’s give everybody a fair shake.” In the wake of the more recent conference realignments and the upcoming expansion of the College Football Playoff to a 12-team format, Aresco has been increasingly bothered by the continued separation of P5 and G5 programs within the public discourse. “I’ve been reading more and more articles about P5 this, P5 that. It’s like the G5 doesn’t exist,” said Aresco. “That’s not healthy for college sports. You get tired of that divide, and I think it’s harmful.” Another impetus for Aresco’s statement was recent reporting on the P5 conferences working together on potential federal legislation in regard to name, image and likeness. An internal memo circulated within the Atlantic Coast Conference outlining those efforts was recently obtained via public record request by On3. “We haven’t been (included). We didn’t know this was going on,” said Aresco. “We know (the P5) have secret meetings and other things, we know that. We’d prefer that we’re included.” While Aresco believes the P5 label to be a media creation, he acknowledges that five “autonomous conferences” were established by the NCAA back in 2014. But he feels that designation is largely outdated now as well. “I’m not sure it’s necessary anymore,” said Aresco. “They haven’t passed any autonomous legislation in quite a while, and we’re right there. We do everything (the Autonomous 5 conferences) do.” Regardless, it’s an issue Aresco believes the NCAA and conference commissioners need to address, and a conversation he intends to continue stoking, stating that he might pen another open letter further detailing his perspective. “The biggest frustration is to be ignored. No one likes to be ignored. When I see articles that talk about the best quarterbacks or coaches in the P5, c’mon. When I see that constantly, I get angry,” said Aresco. “The NCAA talks a lot about inclusivity, and what happens? We’re excluded in a lot of this, and it’s just not right. Either you’re going to fight or just give up, and I would never give up.” https://theathletic.com/4293727/2023/03/09/aac-mike-aresco-power-5-group-5/?source=freedailyemail&campaign=601983
  5. I heard the name image and likeness of Jeff Traylor is painted on it.
  6. Max Good, Assistant basketball coach at UNLV...apparently gets a lot of buzz every time a coach gets fired.
  7. Ha! And, I was trying so hard to get it right!
  8. 1 Min 36 Secs to go Rice 101 FAU 66
  9. As an aside, Dentons Tang, as per several entries on the internet, "TANG means 'Vagina'. TANG is a slang word used to refer to the vagina (similar to trim, pussy, and beaver). It is an abbreviation of the word poontang, which also means vagina. Futhermore, mus, is the Latin word for mouse...thus we have a clear etymology of the word, mustang. Nice try with the Pony thing though. I hope this helps.
  10. These numbers are so differently derived! Student population would seem to be an interesting consideration in these quantifying comparisons. North Texas has more students than Rice, Tulsa, and Charlotte combined. Does Navy's numbers even count because of required student participation? It still boggles my mind that we have such low attendance numbers.
  11. It's pretty easy to tell who never played the game at this level
  12. Tylor Perry for President or something!
  13. Officiating double sucks. Both ways.
  14. Tomorrow, Sunday Feb 12, we take on Georgia Tech in the Buzz Classic. https://meangreensports.com/news/2023/2/11/no-24-softball-records-win-over-uconn
  15. Their big guy, Khalifa seems winded.
  16. Streaming on ESPN+...not an actual channel/
  17. I'm worried about this being a trap game. Ugh!
  18. I thought it was a reference to players being single, not married.
  19. Wow! I think maybe a child wrote that article.
  20. With Seth it would be a big wad of tobacco and he would be spitting on the floor.
