  1. I bet if everyone waits until 8 pm tonight they'll have it all laid out nice and simple for you on ESPN or ESPN 2. Just thinking out loud. I know we're going to HOD I already got my hotel at the Omni, not downtown but on 635. It is about half the price right now for the same night. I will get on the dart train early in the AM on Jan 1st, head over for mimosas and breakfast and tailgating then watch us bring some pain to whatever "big time" school we play.

  2. 2011- 4 JC players 1 transfer (on the roster)

    2012- 10 JC and transfers

    2013- 17 JC and transfers

    These are his first three years. I do not see anyone calling for Mac's head b/c he has a roster loaded with JC players. These guys played little to no Defense under JJ and I am the biggest JJ supporter there is. But it takes time to get kids to buy into the way you as a HC want them to perform. I am willing to wait and see what Coach Benford can do.

  3. I love that 5 "mormon white boys" apparently can't play ball…. Doesn't BYU have several black guys who significantly contribute?? What about Denver did you complain every time JJ and Co. got whipped up and down the floor in their free lance motion offense?? What an ignorant comment. Does no one in this board remember how many JC guys coach Mac had to bring in when first taking over the program? Does no one on this board realize where Benford came from and who he coached under?? The King at bringing in JC guys Buzz Williams.

  4. See above post. Top that with his kid was playing HS ball and it was a lot easier to call a few college games per week and travel to and from than being a full time coach and never seeing his boy play. I think Fran makes plenty of money traveling in the summer doing clinics, top that with his earnings from broadcasting. He probably has no desire to coach. I guess those are the two arguments.

  5. Why?? If a helmet is even a little off a big collision causes the head to slam into walls of the helmet, which will then create even more movement of the brain. If the helmet fits good, then all you have to worry about is the initial contact causing the brain to move around. I know that sounds far fetched, but if the NFL who just lost a lot of $$ because of concussions is looking into it, I would assume there has to be some legitimacy to it.

  6. I wonder how soon College football would put a stop to all the crazy helmets? The NFL starting to clamp down on changing helmets (thus the cowboys not wearing white helmet with blue star) they say it creates a higher chance for concussion because the helmet has not had time to fit to the players head properly. I think it is a decent point, but curious if that will ever infiltrate the college level.

  7. 35 is a disaster The DPD tweeted earlier they had responded to 14 minor accidents, 0 major, 37 traffic hazard (stuck cars in the roadway) and 119 motor assists (slid off the road or stuck on the side of the road) from 5:30 pm to 8:00 am (today). I keep hearing what a nightmare stretch it is on 35 N and S bound between the Sanger Drag strip and downtown Sanger where both of those inclines are frozen solid and the grade is too high they were shut down yesterday for almost 9 hours. Stay inside it just isn't worth it.

  8. Serious question here, while Benford still has my support and backing (not that its worth much :abe: ) I would have loved to see us pursue and spend the $$ on Larry Brown. Anyone else see what he has done with SMU in 2 years time. This time next year they will crack into the top 25 and never look back. I went to watch them play against Sam Houston State and I was very unimpressed with the offense but he sure does have those fellas playing Defense. Seriously though, Larry Brown would have cost us ______ million dollars. Jankovich who is the highest paid assistant in College Hoops is making 700,000 per year. That is some serious money, but isn't that what it takes to get programs on the right track to making money and keeping themselves afloat??

  9. While your point is decent, let me throw this out there (not to attack just to shed light b/c I do think that the Goree get is HUGE. Colorado just finished

    4-8 this season 1-8 against pac 12 schools. There other 3 wins (Colorado State, Central Arkansas, and Charleston Southern). There previous record since joining the Pac 12 was (4-21) and in conference it was (3-15). I believe West Virginias recent success in the national spotlight has kept them afloat with swinging recruits and I know close to the same can be said of West Virginias (more recent) lack of success could help us swing the DT. My main point in saying what I said above was that it was a bit bothersome that UNT fans seem to think they have the luxury of just saying we want that guy and assume he's coming. We will have to work very hard to get someone of this guys talent level.

    I believe Coach Mac and his recruiting coordinators and recruiters will bring in the RIGHT players with talent. I think they've worked very hard at creating a culture at UNT where the majority of our players are good people and good players. I love my school and am having a blast with all the excitement that continues to grow with our success. After all that rambling I think I made the point I was originally trying to make.
