  1. From what? Hodge? UNT Fandom? I remember a lot of bad basketball years in my 25+ years of being a fan. This doesn't even make my top 10.
  2. Awesome idea if you want the stands to be the same 50 retired fans that can pack up and leave DFW for a week. We need to advocate the AAC as long as we're in it to keep this tourney in DFW. We have something like 200k local DFW alums.
  3. Why is it so warm in Dickies? It was freezing yesterday.
  4. They know its easier to get eyeballs on their schools through NCAA tourney and NIT so they pour into basketball instead of football (except Boise State).
  5. He never was great at firing football coaches that were dead ends
  6. Cue the Coach speak... It's hard to beat a team three times in a season. ...unless it's us beating Tulane 🤭
  7. Is the parking garage at Dickies cheaper than the surface lots to the South? I think we paid $15 to be in the surface lots and it appeared most everyone else parked in the garage for the women's game Monday.
  8. WVU boosters still feel very burned by Neal Brown's performance in football coming out of The Belt... And he had 4 seasons at Troy with 3 of them in a row with 10 wins. They won't allow a Mid Major MBB coach unless he's very experienced and firing on all cylinders.
  9. Hate to be picky, but you can't pick seats with this method. Best Available might end you up in the sections behind the basket vs something better along side of the court. I'm happy to Yolo visitor section football tickets through the school, less patient with bad basketball tickets.
  10. Is everyone trying to sit in 106 directly behind the High Seed (UNT) bench or section 107 in the middle? Going to Ticketmaster website to buy tickets, it appears almost sold out for the 6pm Thursday selection. Most of the tickets left are "Verified Resale" tickets.
  11. We made the trek out to Ft Worth from Plano for the game. A few thoughts: Not my first trip to the arena, but Dickies is a very nice midsized arena. I know we weren't supposed to like The Star, but even with the upper levels curtained off, Dickies feels cavernous with no people in it. Takes away the energy in a bit, even more than an empty Super Pit. This Mean Green Women's BB team attempts to play a fast-paced offense that we haven't seen in years of watching Mens BBall with Hodge and Mac before that. The Mean Green Women's fast-paced offense sometimes feels totally out of control. I am not a BBall savant, but their ball-handling skills cannot keep up with the pace of the offense they are attempting to play. The Rice defense appeared to shut down our offense at times, especially when we made sloppy passes through traffic in the middle that lacked power. It was clear who could sink 3s from the Rice team. I think it was #11 and #3 (I might have the second number wrong; I think she was a blondish white girl). We frequently left them open at the top of the arc, and they frequently scored from those positions. When the pace seems to get out of control, Burton needs to call a Timeout. There were a few times when we were perfectly fine letting the whole game get fast and sideways, but a simple timeout would have brought the pace to zero and given us time to reset. Burton gives Littrell vibes in this regard. You don't get extra points for saving your timeouts or having so many at the end that you just call them one after another in the final seconds. I feel for the women's team and understand the gravity of a 3-way tie winning the regular season and looking like you're going to go out in the first game in the Conf Tourney. Still, you GOTTA pull it together in the clutch final seconds of a winnable basketball game. Burton needs to find a way to bring the mental fortitude of the team up for next season. Great job, Women's team. I say that sincerely, and I also acknowledge and apologize for how easy it is for all of us to be Monday Morning Quarterbacks. I'm excited for the years ahead! Regroup, improve, mature, and recruit great in the offseason, and we will only see greater successes next season.
  12. I'm not going to lie; I would love a reason to see a game in the Kibbie Dome vs. the University of Idaho. Throw in Syracuse, and combined with UTSA's rent-a-dome, I think I would have finally seen a game in all the CFB Domes.
