  1. No. No, it's not.

    I understand that we want our Belt foes to be very good so it elevates the rest of the conference (NT included), but WKY is going to be very good with or without Guerrero.

    Now, if he were to sign with them and he is as-advertised, then UNT (as well as the rest of the belt) is in trouble of losing any kind of grip we could muster. WKY has a rich basketball history and that probably contributed to Guerrero's committment, but I will root against them starting up a dynasty with Guerrero as a cornerstone.

    I agree that losing Reed and Gradnigo hurt the conference.

  2. End of Week HS games

    South Grand Prairie beats Arlington Bowie 58 to 51 with Trey Norris with 7 points.

    Arlington Grace Prep 58 Garland Lakeview Centennial 51 with Chris Jones held to 12 points

    Kimbell 91 Lancaster 75 with Jordan Williams hitting 26 points.

    Eastland, Forrest Robinson's team did not play

    Casper CC played but no scores or stats available yet.

    EXCELLENT! Thanks GrandGreen!

  3. OK...but seriously, Go Tech.

    They were down a few players who I hope will be back for the rest of their season...and I really hope they don't wet the bed against this tough OOC schedule. We need their RPI to help buoy ours the rest of the way.

    A good Tech the rest of the season is great for us.

    Exactly. As long as Crockett keeps developing and Singletary starts to play like he is able, they'll start winning games in bunches. I'll be a pseudo-fan of theirs for the remainder of the season.

  4. Last night games:

    Chris Jones had 18 in a Garland Centennial 66 to 54 victory over the Colony.

    Forrest Robinson had 29 as Eastland won over Early 59-33.

    Trey Norris led S. Grand Prairie with 17 in a win over Southlake Carrol 61-47.

    Brandon Walton is averaging 16.6 for 2-3 Casper CC.

    Great!

    Hey GrandGreen, I promise to give you +1's for every report if you continue to do this... but tweak it a little.

    Would love to see some auxilary stats, especially assists for Jones & Norris and rebounds & blocks for Robinson. Maybe just a whole line of stats for each player if you can find them.

    This could be your answer to KING's pilots license.

    Whaddya say?

  5. Channelsurfing doesn't have any NCAA basketball games up on schedule yet. Hopefully we get USA vs. USM.

    Good news on MTSU and UAB is that it's on ESPN3. Bad news is that it's another production like the football game we suffered through last weekend. Don't expect to see the ball or either basket, take Dramamine, and watch at your own risk.

    So you mean we should expect to see Tristan put up a 3 (or maybe it's not Tristan we won't really be able to tell), only to have the producer cut to Kermit Davis blowing spit bubbles?

  6. I can't believe we just upset a Big 12 team in front of one of the 10 biggest crowds our stadium has ever seen and there are still jackholes over here arguing about the coaching search.

    News flash: Hire whoever works cheapest. Plow the rest of the money into retaining Johnny Jones. If Canales will work for canned food and loose change he finds in the furniture, f*** it. Keep him. If not, pick up a homeless guy and put his ass on the sidelines next year.

    You people missed a great night.

    If it meant we could wrap up Johnny long term (meaning money-whipping him to stay here even if LSU comes calling), I'd be cool with hiring Randy from the Target loading dock as HFC. He wants $10/hr but I think Rick could get him down to $9.50

  7. First up, nice job of beating Texas Tech. That was a sweet win.

    I went to the game and it is clear that this was no fluke. UNT has stepped it up in basketball. You can -- and should -- expect to post more wins like this at least from time to time. You have recruited some pretty good players and they just flat outhustled TT last night.

    The super pit is a pretty cool place to watch a game. The band was rocking and the students were really into the action. The place looks good when it is rowdy and even half full.

    I also like how the concourses just inside the entrance are pretty wide and easy to get around.

    The tx tech fans just kind of sat there in horror and disbelief while UNT kept taking it to them and finally slammed the door shut in their faces. It's funny how so many tx tech people pride themselves on having such really intense, really kick ass fans. But when you throw a little adversity their way and they lose interest faster than you can blink an eye.

    On the negative side of things...... I arrived in Denton kind of late. The parking situation was really, really bad. We had to park out by the football stadium and hike forever to get to the basketball arena.

    Also, once we got inside the person selling tickets did not have any more of the $10 seats available. She made us walk around the building to the next section to buy tickets from someone else. She should have made "someone else" bring some extra $10 tickets to her.

    The concession lines were too long. Way too long. Really unbelievable. I do not know if this is a staffing issue or what it might be, but we ended up buying just a pretzel since that was the shortest line we could find. If the regular concession area were shorter then we probably would have spent about 15 bucks. Some other people probably said screw it also.

    If you want to move things up to the next level then you need to continue scheduling higher profile opponents from bigger conferences, and get a parking garage like SMU has, and improve a couple of basic things like ticketing and concessions. Just minor details, really. These are things which could help improve the overall fan experience.

    Oh yeah, I also think it would also help for you to advertise your bigger games like this on the radio. The attendance was pretty good for a weeknight but when you are playing an opponent from a major conference like the Big 12 then you have a chance to pick up some extra local observers who do not normally follow UNT as much.

    Again, great job on the win, and congratulations.

    TC

    Thanks for the kind words and constructive criticism True Colors... however, I cant help but notice your thread title: "...from a Baylor Bear" and your avatar of: "Loves the Aggies! Go ATM!!" What's that all about?

  8. Jarion Henry was there last night and talked about the crowd size, participation, and rushing the court the rest of the night. Great win and great celebration. Reminds me of when we beat Middle Tennesse and brought down the goal posts! Love this

    Was Jarion with Mr. Williams? Was he there with his dad? I hope he enjoyed the show!

    We've got room for you in this class Jarion. Get on board with Mr. Williams and sign your LOI.

  9. This one was the best!

    Womens softball top 5 in the Big 12,

    Womens cross country kicks buttock!!

    Tech Meat Judging Team second to none!!

    I mean, after a demoralizing loss on the road to a superior team, I would justify my school's other athletic accomplishments as well... but the Meat Judging Team?? What does that have to do with anything? That's like us pumping up our National Champion Logistics team (believe it or not, it's true!)

    I guess those west Texas folks know a nice set of hams when they see 'um (sorry Lifer).

  10. I'm sure the two you named are probably more talented, I just really liked the game I saw out of Singletary. That kid was all over the court all night long pestering everyone. Plus... Every team needs a gigantic white guy.

    It didn't look like Singletary wanted to take over the game until it was too late.

    Crockett was very tough last night. He was a matchup nightmare for our D. He scored down low with ease, and he had a nice outside shot as well. I think this guy will be very good for them in the future.

  11. This one takes the cake.

    "True.

    We win this game 8 out of 10 times, but that is assuming we make more than 11-19 from the line 8 out of 10 times against UNT.

    Singletary should be NOT partcipating in any practices the remainder of this week. He should be shooting foul shots the entire time for each and every practice until Friday night. THEN, after practice, he should be sent to the film room to watch the practice he just missed. Repeat daily until Friday night."

    Are you freakin kidding me? 8 out of 10 times? really? Am I mistaken or did I see one team completely outplay the other last night?

    These ass clowns... Surpised we were able to win last night given that there were 3500 tech fans in attendance LMAO. :lol:

    I don't know about "8 out of 10", but maybe 5-5.

    I didn't see a team completely outplay another either, until the OT period. I saw over 20 lead changes, and if Roberson did not foul out of the game with 2 min to play, we might have lost the game in regulation. Foul problems KILLED the Raiders last night. They had 2 starters out before the OT period. We only lost George to fouls, and that was with 2 minutes left and a 9 or 10 point lead in the OT period.

    Singletary deserves a bunch of criticism from Tech fans. He did not score like he should have... However, a HUGE reason for that was the play of Hogans defensively. He was all over Singletary like stink on poo. To say that Singletary's free throw shooting is what cost Tech the game is absurd.

  12. I knew we were gonna win as soon as Roberson fouled out with about 2 min left to play in regulation. What a heckuva game! Tristan didn't find his shot until late in the second half, but when he did he couldn't miss and that opened up Josh to go ballistic on them in OT.

    Hogans was AWESOME, covering Singletary really well tonight on D. Watching the banners go up before the game was awesome as well. So proud of the Mean Green tonight!

  13. And small time thinking like this is exactly why we'll never get Zombie Landry here. :angry:

    Look, even if we got enough money (is that what zombies are paid with?) scratched together to pay Zombie Landry, how in the world would we pay his assistants? Everyone knows that a zombie coach is no good unless the right zombie assistants are on board as well.

    Oh, and too bad for Tre. Enjoy regular life as a fan like the rest of us dude!

  14. Nope. I expect to beat Tech at home. No need to rush the court. We can do that again in Hot Springs as we take down WKU in the finals to go to the dance B)

    Yep. We're winners. We've won over 20 games a year for the past 5 years. No need to do this.

    Unless it's some kind of barn-burner, triple digit, 3OT, buzzer beater win, then we don't need to storm the court.

  15. I was just thinking of how rude we're being by hanging all our banners in front of our guests from Texas Tech.

    We won our conference, and we're hanging a banner. They didn't win theirs.

    We won our tournament, and we're hanging a banner. They didn't win theirs.

    We earned an NCAA berth, and we're hanging a banner. They didn't get one.

    Maybe we could hang up something temporary to make the Red Raiders feel special? Something to remind them of their "accomplishments" from the 2009-10 season?

    Maybe we can get something printed up before tipoff. We wouldn't want to be impolite.

    Why don't we just chug on over to mamby-pamby land so we can find Tech some self confidence? We're the MEAN Greenyou jackwagon!

    Tech, you get nothing but the agony of defeat tonight!

    Go Mean Green!
