Not often that I agree with GMG1999 on anything, but I definitely do this time. Lousy idea.

Awesome news.....

Yeah, Erin was President for at least acouple of semesters. She was kind of the last vestige of the Late 90's Talon Group that was so close.

Vito seemed to imply the staff was high on Mangrum a few weeks ago. But that analysis seems to indicate otherwise. Well argued Censored By Laurie. I've been wanting a big guy signed this whole time period. Next season we're fine, but the year after things look grim.

Good to hear Michael.

Well, we also need to worry about Akron. Not to mention Houston was mentioned in the past(unless they're out of contention now?). It's not a slam dunk we get the kid even if Wichita State doesn't.

Of course Coach Jones seems to actually appreciate being here. Coach Dickey too often seemed to be looking for a way out.

Congratulations Michael! It's a tough job, and no matter what you accomplish, you'll always feel like you could've done more. Every President I know felt that way. Hopefully you have a kick ass VP(who you get along with), who can get on the ball with the Committes to help ya out. I'm sure you'll do a great job. Proud to be a Talon. Courtland M. Jindra Talon President Fall '00 & Spring '01

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.

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).

Tristan Thmpson eh? Let's hope Wichita State looks elsewhere.

Thanks for the writeup.

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?

Who says these aren't good players? That was my point.

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.

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.

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.

Can someone who goes to the banguet give us a report?

We can have an all McCoy backcourt off the bench next season? Welome to the fold Adam!

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.

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!

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.

On a tangent, we have had no trouble getting folks in Arizona to play at NT. I wonder who our connection out there is.
