For those watching online or by TV, it probably looks a lot worse. We are definitely the better football team. The officials are bailing UTEP out. We can win this football game. I am here in person and we definitely have the better product and that's my opinion.
I agree. But you wouldn't believe these announcers. They have a no gag reflex.

Not safer than taking a knee. With 36 seconds left I don’t see the risk/reward ratio making sense. Everyone knows you are trying to run out the clock or hit a huge pass play.
Or play it safe and maybe break a big running play to then make the all or nothing decision...
Players have to execute. They know it.

I guess I forgot this this was go(fill in ex player here).com and not gomeangreen.com. Guess I was on the wrong website… 🙃
If they play well enough to make UNT a top 50 team, the idea they are somehow not good enough to contribute to another top 50 team does not make sense.
When you say stuff like that it looks like you have a diminished view of UNT for no reason that simply isn’t true. Get on board with how well this program and the players are developing/performing.

Answering my own question: Hamlet and Reese transferred from there. Is there some connection between us and Buffalo other than players? Are coaches or admin connected in anyway?
-
I would like to not see him at Buffalo. Isn’t that a team we’ve had recently players transfer to us from?

I agree with you. With big money should come big expectations. Some UNT fans on this very board, in regards to our football program, don't see it that way.
He's proposing Top 25 money. In basketball, I think that is north of $3Mil, these days.
The average D1 head football coach makes $1.7Mil. Seth Littrell makes $1.7Mil.
"Big Money" is bigger than the average. Are you proposing Big money to match big expectations?

SMU has a better academic rep that A&M unless you're talking about engineering. Even then, I know quite a few people that pay extra for their kids to attend SMU for engineering and got $ to attend A&M.
UNT has a shot at being higher ranked than Tech in the US News rankings.
I know coworkers of mine (more than a few) who went to SMU and UTA and they said by far UTA was better… and a couple of them did undergrad degrees at TCU.
if you want to rub shoulders with people who work at engineering firms in DFW, SMU is a good place to go because they offer serious discounts to people who currently work at large engineering companies so they can sell that network to students.
If you want to actually learn something about engineering, you’d be better off at UTA.

At the risk of being tarred and feathered here, SMU is a very unique and special place. We offer a vibrant city, huge employment opportunities after graduation and unlimited resources. Our alumni network strong and our academic reputation is second only to Texas A&M or UT in the state. We may be in the same conference but there are clear differences between the two of us.
SMU would be better off in Fort Worth. There’s a reason TCU and Baylor are in front of SMU both in conference and academically. Don’t be surprised if one day you see UNT passing you by with the blinders you have on. UH might have already as well.

We really have some masochists on here. Y’all have fun with the rumor mill and copium, I’m done with this topic.
Coaching changes happen whether you want them to or not.
No one here can change that. Cope with it however you want.

Because we can lose the best coach in our history for no reason other than boomer money? FOH. Why would you want to gamble on finding someone better than Mac? Do you want Tony B again?
Because we have to. We have to compete against that money, no matter if he stays or goes. Whether it is him coaching that team or not, that is our competition. Our expectation here is to win conference championships. With or without him.

If this all happens we will be playing in the same conference against Grant McCasland, Eric Konkol, Andy Kennedy and Penny Hardaway with Ross Hodge at the helm?

I don’t get all the questions about fit. If his dream school is Baylor as we all assume. There are more similarities between SMU and Baylor than Baylor and UNT.
Like what? Other than them being private? How in the world does being at SMU increase his odds of getting to Baylor? It's honestly probably equal to UNT and a bit farther a way with 100% way shitter school public options for his kids and about the same private school options. Or a really bad commute. SMU would be better off being in Fort Worth. Denton is is the clear winner here. ANd it's not like UNT couldn't pay him more.

The LSU job being challenging is an understatement. I can understand chasing some money, but it sounds like a super big headache.

we don't really have a slasher...especially with Rubin out tonight.
as for posting up Abou or TB...in late game situations, especially from behind, you usually want a play that has a fixed time-rundown and known result(s)...like, you know a high screen roll and drive/pull-up will take 5 seconds...with a drive you known it's either a bucket, a foul or good defense...with a pull-up it's either a bucket, an offensive rebound or good defense
posting a player brings in more variables...there are usually multiple passes and off-ball movement just to create the right angle for entry, that takes time...depending on where the catch is, 15 feet takes more time usually than 10 feet...you bring in the possibility of doubling the post player, who usually isn't your best passer/decision maker.
if this question is largely being asked because of TPs last shots...well, ya...dude had a big neon sign that read "HERO" in his mind. probably because that sign has been lit so many times this year.I think it's being asked on the end of regulation shot selection and play draw up. I'm just fine with the end of the game shot. I just thought we could have gotten something driving to the basket toward the end of regulation.
Great game - and lots of fun to watch. Wanted really badly for TP to be the hero again.

This is really a question and not a criticism, but why the hesitance to go to the basket in late game situations. Particularly at the end of regulation when it was tied, seems like the higher percentage play would have been to go right to the hoop.
I was thinking the same thing. Bell and/or Abou were doing work near the basket tonight.

Yep, but we should be scheduling home and home series.
TAMU-CC
TSU
Both NCAA tournament teams this year.
SFA, as mentioned, is usually strong.
TSU-SM has a good program.
I get what you are saying, but I would rather have the above than LSU-Shreveport, Panhandle St. , etc...
Those are only NCAA teams because they won their tournament. Look at Texas Southerns NET - they are the lowest ranked team in the tournament.
It's teams like that that keep at large hopeful teams like us out.
I'd like to not play Texas Southern. I like JJ, but there's no good that comes from playing them.

I also want to sit behind Craig Robertson every game. Love that dude and all the jaw jacking he was giving a TXST fan that was upset about bad calls at the end of the game, but was just fine with them at the beginning.

Lots of our normal season ticket holders were missing in my section... which i thought was weird. Also lots of people just Southwest Airlines-ing it and picking their own seats especially since they took the Season Ticket sashes off the seats. People who were in our seats asked if we would sit in different seats a few seats over, I just said those are my good luck SEASON TICKET holder seats. They sorta rolled their eyes and went and took someone else's seats.
Did you buy season tickets to the post season?

Agreed. Under-seeded even.
I don’t know about underseeded. I know they are good, but I watched some of their games. If they are underseeded, then Memphis is definitely underseeded.
