That might be a little harsh. I too hope Jackson either learns a lesson & changes his ways, or gets exposed & released. However I hope for the success of UNT-D and the Law School just like I do the HSC. These schools should augment the success of the flagship just like the UT & A&M system schools augment the success of their flagships. These schools should not drain the flagship though.

I'll be happy to see Hazzard and Vogler go...

La Tech also hit the DFW area hard for recruits. I wonder if coach Hines was a part of that and has inroads with HS coaches around here. If not, then even East Texas schools would be good to get into.

Did this Santa Clara team have a certain shaggy-haired, Canadian-born point guard?

Oh no. I feel sorry for the poor team that has to face Kansas, 'Cuse or Kentucky in the first round...

Isn't that what we call 'body bag' games are for?

I've missed out on these... I'd love to join you guys this year.

"Improve non-revenue sports facilities"? I guess he keeps up with UNT's facilities about as much as I keep up with SMU's facilities, but we've got some FANTASTIC non-revenue facilities! The Waranch/Soccer/Softball stadiums are all top notch.

I agree with avoiding any big east team... but I wouldn't be excited about a big10 team either. What about the New Mexico team: Are they really that strong? And NT03 pointed out our matchups with Temple, which could be favorable.

Not as excited about this as I was about Peterson, but this still looks to be nice pickup. I like his experience (some OC experience).

Ah. Gotcha. I hope they lose, but if they don't, will the selection committee just look at the help that their RPI gives them, or might they consider us over them even though we have a lower RPI?

I've seen SHSU ahead of us in just about every bracket prediction out there. I don't quite understand that either.

Looking at most bracket projections, Kansas/Syracuse/Kentucky are all pretty much a done deal for 1 seeds. As pointed out by TTG, we will not be a 16 seed, so no need in worrying about facing any of them. The other 1 seed is up for debate and I included teams that are generally considered in the 2-4 seed range as potential opponents: Team (rank)(record) Duke(4)(26-5) Ohio State(5)(24-7) Purdue(6)(26-4) West Virginia(7)(24-6) New Mexico(8)(28-3) Kansas State(9)(24-6) Villanova(10)(24-6) Michigan State(11)(24-7) Wisconsin(13)(23-7) BYU(14)(28-4) Tennessee(15)(23-7) Pittsburgh(16)(24-7) Temple(17)(25-5) Maryland(19)(23-7) Vanderbilt(20)(23-7) Baylor(21)(24-6) Texas A&M(23)(22-8) Out of these teams, which one would you rather see as the #2 or #3 seed that UNT opens with? I think I'd like to see BYU. They have not beat a ranked team all year and have some losses to UNLV and Utah St. I also wouldn't mind seeing a rematch with A&M. Our guys are a little more confident now. The first time we played them, we had JUST lost DJ and were still trying to find out how to replace his minutes...

Robocop.

Nice shots. Thanks Flyer!

I think that was Phil Diebel, the interim-interim President.

Just saw an interview of JJ outside of the Superpit on ch.11.

While I am not really happy with the DMN's coverage of UNT, Keith7 brought up in another thread that the UNT beat writer for the DRC -therefore the DMN- is Brett Vito, who is out right now. And KRAM pointed out that if you actually have the PAPER version today, UNT had a nice spread. I don't recall ever tuning into 105.3, and probably never will, so that is irrelevant to me. Sorry you had to go through that. Winning WILL solve our problems. Those days are here for basketball, and arriving soon for football.

Yeah. I think New Mexico is riding high on Steve Alford. They're good, but they are beatable as a 3 seed.

I think the lack of any quality OOC wins will hurt the most. If UTA/Jackson St. or any other Southland/SWAC school we beat this year can make the tourney, that will help. Otherwise, there's nothing for the selection committee to go on except that we're really good against other SBC schools and Southland/SWAC pushovers.

Put down the crack pipe! As awesome as a 12 seed would be, I don't think that's going to happen. my sarcasm meter may be broken?

This is now my wallpaper. My heart is smiling. Thanks Smitty!

KRAM, you know us youngbloods don't subscribe to the paper! If it ain't on the internet, we don't know about it...

Ditto. Thanks GGB.

I've listened for 15 seconds and this is already better than DMN's AP wire tap.
