Most are listing FAU as a lock already--I assume UAB blows out Temple tomorrow.

We need defensive minded guards. If Ross is going to be our dude, then defensive minded guards are a must. We also HAVE TO GET BACK TO MCCASLAND PACE OF PLAY. We played faster on offense this year and sucked worse. Slap the floor, bow your neck, whip ya dick out, and DEFEND. That's the bread and butter of this program. I'll high five you over a step back 3, but I'll fall in love with you over smothering, suffocating defense. 

We were the third-slowest team in the nation.

FAU gets a boost from Goldin being officiated like he's Kevin Durant.

That way Scott was looking in pain, reminds of the time I ate at Panchos.

UNT most likely won't even make the big dance. Maybe you can win the Not Invited Tournament again and get another banner for being the 69th best team in the country.

[UTSA (2/24/24)]

AWFUL

[Women's Basketball tonight vs Charlotte]

That's three losses in five games to fall out of first in the AAC.

[UAB (2/18/24)]

Final FT totals:

UAB 31

UNT 10

[SMU (1/25/24)]

We're tougher than you!

[SMU (1/25/24)]

What the hell is going on? Refs taking over.

[Wichita State (1/4/24)]

[Are we not signing a transfer QB?]

Pavia was 13th nationally in ESPN's weighted points added and led New Mexico State to a 10-win season. NMSU was 2-10 in 2021, and started 2-5 in 2022. Just glancing at their game leaders it looks like he played in those first seven games but split time with another QB, and was named the full-time starter against UMASS 10/29/22. NMSU has since gone 15-6 with him at the helm.

He'd be an excellent get for UNT.

Let's go after this guy

One of my favorite players to watch this season.

[Mississippi State (12/17/23)]

Man, this offense is freaking pathetic. Mississippi State gave up 81 points to 3-6 Murray State Wednesday. UNT gets their third field goal of the half with 6:50 remaining.

Let’s all tell our grandkids about the magical 5-7 season and the quarterback who didn’t even make honorable mention all conference. 

He was great. The 5-7 season came from having the worst defense in FBS.

[Fordham (12/10/23)]

Other losses were tough, but acceptable. This one is unacceptable.

[Boise State (12/5/23)]

Just now, MeanGreenZen said:

CJ Noland has been extremely underwhelming. 

Did you watch the first half? The game is on Rubin and A-Scott fouling out. Can't have that from our leaders in that spot.

[Boise State (12/5/23)]

Now that was a choke-job. Brutal.

He could come crawling back and offer us 100k just to play and I would hold the door open as he leaves….
 

Well, luckily for you, I don't think that's going to happen.

Those of you who think FSU got screwed, are you betting your paycheck on them winning against any of the 4 teams in the playoffs? I’m not.

What does that have to do with anything? Just picking teams is antithetical to what sports are supposed to be. The Rangers choked away the division in their last game of the regular season, why didn't we just put the Astros and the Dodgers in the World Series? Why have a regular season at all?

[Women improve to 7-1 with win against Pepperdine]

Kernal coming with Burton from Commerce has been a special get for the squad--top-5 nationally in FTM (tied with Caitlin Clark). Obviously it's very early in the season, but so far this is the best-rated WBB team we've had on CBB Reference.

[Tony Mitchell sighting at airport]

I was in college at the same time as Tony. He's the most athletic person I've ever been around. He and Chris Jones were absolutely absurd at the rec center. Jones has had a great career in Europe, as well. Wasting those guys on Benford's first year was the low-point for UNT hoops since I've followed.

UNT can't get past the 2nd round and lose to FCS Schools 66-7.

Yeah, but I'm not creating accounts on other schools' fan boards and beating my chest about the greatness of UNT.
