  1. I see no scenario where the MWC adds LaTech.  I just don't see where it would make any sense for them to do that when they have 5 programs in Texas, plus Tulsa before adding Louisiana to the geographic footprint.

    If the MWC were to for some reason want to add 4 teams, I would think the 4 CUSA TX teams would be high on the list, with UTEP at the top of the list.

    I was told Hart and Del Conte have agreed to extend the series. It just hasn't been announced. Del Conte is on record saying as long as he is the AD, TCU will play SMU every year. Baylor and Tech are the two we are trying to get moving forward. The D2 schools you mentioned are sprinkled in to get a supposed easy win, but that isn't always the case, see James Madison. 

    It's not tough at all getting schools to come to Ford. They see it as an easy win and the chance to play in front of Dallas area recruits. It's the compete opposite with Moody. It is next to impossible right now for us to get a P5 school to do a home-home. Arkansas, Michigan and Gonzaga (not a P5 but an elite bball school) are the only three during Larry's tenure to visit Moody and we are having a lot of trouble finding takers moving forward. 

    We also have a little experience with paying a school to come kick us in the nuts at home.

  3. MJ, what is the story with the TCU series. It is not on the schedule past 2018.  Is there a high likelihood that it doesn't get extended?  

    It looks like this year's TCU game and the one in 2018 are the only P5 programs smoo currently has scheduled at home.  Otherwise, it's a steady stream of TxSt, Liberty, Stephen F Austin, and Abilene Christian outside of the UNT series at home.  Is it getting tougher to get the P5's to come to Ford?

    Sorry, you lost me (and everyone outside of University Park) with the bolded part.  If you think that playing North Texas is what is keeping you out of a P5 conference I don't know what to tell you.  Well, other than "Jesus Christ you paid WAAAAAAYYYY too much for that SMU education!  You didn't learn a damn thing...hahahahaha, are you f'in kidding me?!!  SMU?  In a P5?  That's a great one...oh wait, you were serious?  Oh man, seek professional help...like, now" 

    Good lord. So much this. 

    Sorry MJ.  I appreciate your optimism, a rare quality around here, but I think smoo faces an extreme uphill battle if it wants to change its current place in the pecking order.

    We all want this place to be something better than it has been, but to not understand the inherit issues with athletics at the university's administrative levels makes you look like an ostrich in the sand. Creating sock accounts makes you look like either a serial killer or like a guy that GL2Greatness would hang around with and call as his buddy.

    I made an account and created one post to try to bring some levity to what is becoming a quagmire.  If the mods want to delete the UNT90 account, then by all means delete the UNT90 account.  For that matter you can delete the UNT9O account as well.

    I changed my handle and made it public.  This is not a sock puppet account.  I don't make a habit of posting from multiple accounts at a time, although I think I could come up with some gold with a new @cerebuz account, but I won't, you know, since its against the board rules.  However, I will from time to time abandon an account and start posting from a new one.  Expect this one to last 1k-2k posts until I come up with a newer, badasser name.  The last thing I want to do is wake up one day and see 15k+ posts next to my avatar.  I weren't a mod and I saw that many posts below my avatar, it would have to be be a sure sign of lack of football knowledge or severe mental damage, amiright?

    If the mods want to delete those old accounts or consolidate them to this one, I have no issue.

     

    Whether in life or in D1 athletics, there will always be has been's or never was's from the old neighborhood that won't let you shed your past.  Sometimes you just have to cut ties in order to move forward.  

     

    Now, hopefully @Fly will get off his ass and sell some carpet so we can hurry up and address the MBB 'situation'.  And for heaven's sake, can we get some condoms in the men's locker room?

    Probably...while you were changing usernames, most likely.

    Kill me if I ever have to change my username because I got banned on an internet message board...

    The next time I get banned will be the first. I will be sure to let you know when it happens. 

    What you need to worry about about is why you and your two other amigos spend so much time on a message board taking turns trying to disparage a program you claim to support but drag through the mud every chance you get. 

    The day that the program takes steps to separate itself from certain 'fans' will be the day we start separating itself from the past and starts moving forward. 

    ImHo of course. Have a nice day.

  7. I can't quote you since you are on ignore.  Unfortunately, I still have to see half your posts due to people quoting you.  Since you are so curious, for the last couple thousand posts I went by greenit.  For a thousand or so before that it was curveitaround.  Before that, you don't need to know.  Suffice to say I have been around long enough to know that you have a grudge against RV because he talked you into 2 club seats and now you have buyer's remorse and FFR has a personal grudge because they replaced the motor in the Model A with an electric version.

    For the record, I am fine if RV goes.  I am also ok if he stays if he continues raising enough money to hire guys like Littrell AND raise enough money to fire guys like Mac and hopefully soon the MBB coach.  Just like the coaches, whoever is in charge of running the ticket office, selling MGC memberships, marketing, etc.. have no excuse for not putting out a quality product.  I don't expect the AD to do it all himself, but I do expect him to hold the people who are responsible, accountable.

    Carry on being miserable.

  8. Good grief. The hate mongers on here are now complaining about not signing neutral site games that they once argued against?  If that type of game were ever signed they would absolutely scream in protest.

    The hate is starting to rot their brains to the point that they can't remember their arguments. 

    Please start trolling other team's boards.  Your act has grown tired and your actions have done nothing but ruin the reputation of this board and drive off fans.  Not sure that is what Harry had in mind.
