WE'RE A BASKETBALL SCHOOL

Or what about the time when we got the sack against La Tech in that same game. I swear the NORTH - TEXAS cadence had La Tech completely shook. One of my all time favorite moments as a fan.... the roar of the crowd afterwards was immaculate

Appreciate the effort. I used to know a guy whose job would be to post the UNT highlights years ago. Apparently, there's an NCAA archive of broadcasts that get posted within minutes of the game ending that editors use to cut and splice highlights and game recaps. If only we could hack into the mainframe... or have a mole on the inside. Unfortunately, my mole no longer works for UNT.

can someone post the highlights or game recap in this thread if/when they get posted online?

Well the players certainly wouldn't have the balls to call him that. That's a sure fire way of doing weighted sprints for the entirety of practice.

Love love love the intro to the era of Coach Morris. He looks to be the answer for those clamoring for a true ambassador of our football team. But my biggest takeaway: The Mike-Leach-certified nickname he gave Morris during his time at Tech. He tells it better than I could and the story is towards the 44 minute mark. Who knows? maybe it'll stick here at UNT

SLIGHT CORRECTION: For all the pearl clutching I've been doing in this thread, I need to take a bit of my own medicine. This article was actually written by the AP. I guess ESPN has some sort of agreement with the AP to publish their game previews on their website. Please redirect all ire towards the AP. I'm gonna go touch grass.

true. I've just never seen it at this level for a collegiate team. Some college programs are so notoriously bad that when they get press they at least get the decency of running their article through a spell check. Like, maybe take the 5 seconds to verify the teams mascot before you publish? It wouldn't be something I'd care about if I didn't EXPECT this to happen. Seriously. I've seen it so many times. Just boggles my mind.

Thanks! The EEEEAAGGLLE line in scrubs was my catch-phrase in college. Great show

Can't wait for the write up on the AAC championship game over SMU vs. NTSU next year 🤢

AP's write up of today's conference championship on ESPN website: I know ESPN couldn't give two shits about us but the disrespect is just... laughable. It's become a staple for our brand at this point to mis-identify our logo, name, etc. EDIT: see my edited comment down below. A little dose of sweet sweet karma I suppose.

In my quest to be the biggest Littrell-hater on this forum this year, I've neglected the team's amazing effort to get to this championship game. Such an up and down season but I'd be lying if it wasn't one of the more entertaining seasons of the past couple years post-Fine era. We've got some really great players on this team with such heart. If these players had the same will as us, they would've given up by the time we had lost to Memphis. We've seen that song and dance before in season's past. I'm really really really really hoping we can cap this season off with a bang leaving the CUSA. But this team has given an inspired effort through all the ups and downs that I haven't seen previously in past Littrell teams. And as much as I hate to admit it, despite all the warnings signs going off in my cynical brain, that gives me hope.

I just saw "Tylor Perry out for season" and almost had a heart attack

the goal should be regular season conference champs and conference tournament champs. How we succeed out of conference will determine how talented we are in a particular year and how tough of a schedule we have which can vary from season to season. This isn't a knock against Grant, but as the next step I'd like to see us as the undisputed conference champs (regular season & tournament) since we haven't been able to accomplish that yet.

If you're picking UNT to win based on assumptions that Aune/Defense/Littrell will have a greater than average game executing a game plan, you're going to be disappointed. Don't ignore the truth! Our running backs will have to carry the responsibility of outperforming themselves and UTSA will be ready for it. Our Defense needs to pray that the secondary won't be exploited to h e l l. This has all the makings of crossing our fingers that Aune can keep the defense honest with an occasional good pass and Harris not abusing our D despite their O-line issues. We know how this song plays out folks... Okay, that's my last pessimistic post for now. Looking forward to the amount of angry, drunken comments on the game thread. I may be one of them :0

I'll be tuning in, but don't forget what Seth has taught us over the years. If there's any amount of stakes in a game, we lose every single time. At this point, it's delusional to think we can win on the road against a conference rival with Seth at the reigns. I'm all for the fall optimism, just don't forget when we inevitably lose this game, we are a house of cards

I think we don't give Fine enough credit for how special he was. Competent QB is one thing, but Fine was exceptional

I agree with @Greenrex. Its in our best interest that UTSA wins as much as possible for us to be able to take them down when they face us

do you mean the bands or animals? because I had a mean Grizzly Bear phase in college but the Gorrillaz are classic as well

Spoke too soon

Lance Dunbar?

I was really impressed with that Vermont team. I thought they played some beautiful basketball. Its a shame they lost in the first round against Arkansas. I thought Vermont out-played them, just couldn't make the shots they needed to in the final minutes. The only knock against them is needing to make their FTs Great game all around though. My favorite of the tournament so far.

God bless @greengal upholding the moral in a sea of doom and gloomers. Trying my best not to let this ruin my weekend lol

Can we just not talk about the NIT as a consolation for a minute? This absolutely sucks that we missed out on the NCAA tourney after such a promising season. We DO have something still to play for but it's going to take a second to soak this in before I can get excited for the NIT if at all.
