  1. I think the original was "We are the students of NTSC", but I honestly can't remember. Like I said Latham found it, and we(Talons) all thought it was pretty cool at the time. The Yucca even had pics of the Yell Leaders in mid cheer urging on the crowd. It was definitely cool. Not sure if they handed the cheer down once our crew all left around 5 years ago, but I hope they did.
  2. Well, he did shoot something like 80% from the line. He was basically our only really good FT shooter(not counting some of the guys who didn't get much PT and had few attempts).
  3. Tristan Thmpson eh? Let's hope Wichita State looks elsewhere.
  4. The kid also had a prior relationship with the coach. That can't be understated enough. Not to mention UNO had beaten us both times during the season. Don't we always talk about how much head to head matchups might matter to the recruits?
  5. Way to be positive. The true rating of this class will come in acouple of years. As much as I'm disappointed right now, we have no clue how good these guys may be.
  6. Coach Jones has been great at identifying talent and keeping it in his tenure. My own memories of coaches only dates back to Gales, so I'm not the most qualified to rank him. I will say, though we've had plenty of end games decisions I've disagreed with, and some end of campaign swoons - I do think the guy can coach. And maybe more importantly he seems to appreciate being at NT. I am very hopeful about next season with all we have coming back. I do worry that we aren't developing enough young guys. JJ really likes grabbing transfers, which makes nearly every recruiting class pivotal. I hope we can land more HS players in the future.
  7. I'm not sure how tough the AZ Community College leagues are, but he certainly looks like an excellent pickup. Granted everyone does on paper.
  8. Officially off of MGSports. http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...p;ATCLID=876891
  9. We can have an all McCoy backcourt off the bench next season? Welome to the fold Adam!
  10. I'll definitely miss KD and him shooting the trey. I didn't really get an idea for his personality off the court till late this season, but he's a real stand up guy. Good luck Calvin, you''ll be missed.
  11. The other verse is the beginning of the song, which they never sing. They sing the 2nd verse twice instead. Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck! Hullabaloo, Caneck! Caneck! First Verse All hail to dear old Texas A&M, Rally around Maroon and White, Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies, They are the boys who show the fight. That good old Aggie spirit thrills us. And makes us yell and yell and yell; -- So let's fight for dear old Texas A&M, We're goin' to beat you all to -- Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem! Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem! Rough! Tough! Real stuff! Texas A&M! Second Verse Good-bye to Texas University. So long to the Orange and White. Good luck to the dear old Texas Aggies, They are the boys who show the real old fight. The eyes of Texas are upon you. That is the song they sing so well, So, good-bye to Texas University, We're goin' to beat you all to -- Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem! Chig-gar-roo-gar-rem! Rough! Tough! Real stuff! Texas A&M! Saw Varsity's Horns Off! Saw Varsity's Horns Off! Saw Varsity's Horns Off! Short! Varsity's Horns are Sawed Off! Varsity's Horns are Sawed Off! Varsity's Horns are Sawed Off! Short!
  12. Talons should know this one. Boom a lacka Boom a lacka Bow wow wow Ching a lacka Ching a lacka Chow chow chow Boom a lack Ching a lacka Who are we? We are the students of UNT It's a riff on an old school cheer from the 20's. Chris Latham found it in an old Yucca I believe in the late 90's.
  13. On a tangent, we have had no trouble getting folks in Arizona to play at NT. I wonder who our connection out there is.
  14. I'm not saying I'm happy about it!
  15. Things my not be as dire as it seems. Truth is we don't really know who we're after. We didn't even know about this kid till 24 hours ago. I'm not being opimistic here, because I'm pretty disappointed about all of this, but basically we're in stealth recruiting mode.
  16. We haven't officially extended it to my knowledge...the negotiations are still going on. Some of us are starting to be concerned that may be why our class is so weak, JJ's attention is divided. Who can say, but this is really nuts. Jones has always been good at bringing in kids when we had mediocre seasons, and now we have a very good year and we can't land anyone.
  17. I'm starting to get sick of losing out on these kids.
  18. There were 18 penalties in one of the Detroit/Calgary games as well. Not unprecedented.
  19. Smart money is always with the home team in a Game 7.
  20. If Collin Dennis is as advertised - this Goffney could really compliment him well ala KD and Watson. Still hoping for some guys in the paint.
  21. Obviously anything we read about him on that site will be positive since he went to school there. Do you know much additional about the kid Cooley, and if so what?
  22. There's hardly a month that goes by where I don't run into someone with a NT connection in LA. Whether it's in a record store, in a grocery line, or at the airport. My favorite is probably when I was crossing the street to get to a movie theater once(I think to see Troy) and some car that was stopped at a red light started honking at me. I was like "WTF is his problem", but the guy rolled down his window and flashed the claw. It took me about 2 seconds to figure what the hell he was doing. He yelled out "Did you goto to North Texas?", and I said yeah, and before we could continue the light turned but he gave me a big grin wave as he drove off.
