This isn't about them being perfect. This is about them - and the admin - being enough for me to believe that we want to figure this out, which is far more than I can say about RV or anyone previous. you and I have not tasted any "pudding" from anyone prior to RV. I welcome them to speak up if they want to.

We're done here. I've seen and read your expectations for hiring and firing. This is where we agree to disagree. If I'm wrong, some of our older members can chime in and tell me how awful they've been. They have far more perspective than you or I.

not really. Any accidental downvote can be immediately fixed/changed. If they're there, someone decided on it.

Broadcasting was moved over years ago, now currently on 95.3 The Ranch and streamed on the Varsity App/Leerfield network. Not sure it's on KNTU at all anymore?

I thought we were talking about investing towards long term success of a football program. Finding a hire that will contend for championships nearly every year. How did this get twisted?

My 0.02: bad admin, bad hires, people that didn't care. All of that was relevant until the end of the RV era. WB and Jared have given me hope that we want to figure this out.

And how many times the last 7 years have 38K people attended a MBB game? I think the postseason MBB success is just barely starting to move the national needle, but one decent football season brought more people to watch one football game at the cotton bowl than how many MBB games combined? You're not even the slightest bit curious what might happen for football if we string together 3-5 years of ships and bowl wins?

SL was famous for shitting the bed in important games. I will always wonder what our base would look like if we didn't stab them in the heart every chance we get, over the course of 5 years. You will never convince me that it isn't worth trying. Doesn't have to be national. Build from the region/conference first.

38K people were in attendance for that game.

My guess: a lot of that disdain was early, when he had a small handful of games that were less than 10 points. When he isn't producing consistently, and we didn't need him when Jones/Bugs were out, it was a lot easier to see the faults.

For those of us that were not around Denton yet, can you tell us about them?

Down votes can be very random/irrational. One should never read into them.

Edwards makes me happy and drives me mad. Both of them very often in the same game.

Chris Jones, Jordan Williams. And, a Mean Green alumn who is/was under appreciated: Roger Franklin

If it gets the students amped, embrace it! Unlike SMU, we are trying to build a fanbase.

Yes, only 10 teams in softball. Not sure about the vote.

Why are y'all engaging with this awful troll? Even under the umbrella of "friendly sports banter" this is bad entertainment.

How was he not a good college player? He broke records in blocks (they made a montage video, highlighting every block in the tournament). He should have been conference DPOTY. He probably would have gotten all-conference honors as a sophomore if the team wasn't such a catastrophe. Benford was SO bad, even Mitchell's abilities couldn't offset that black hole of awful basketball that he (Benford) brought to the table.

Lock them in Super Pit cages until after the game ("Lock The Gate", amiright?) Shut down the rest of Denton Put something in their drinks nickle beers, only available at said price after halftime

Someone trying to bring football titles into the bball world?

More than just body count. I guess I wasn't clear. The lack of offense when Edwards is off. The inability to find anyone to take Stone's minutes. And, I know we all love Rubin, but we could potentially be even better (and find an offensive identity) if we had a true PG.

I almost never give an A+. Implies there is no room for improvement. I'd give Hodge an A-. We have roster/depth issues, and that Fordham loss sucks. I still think the world of him and our potential.

There’s some really thick sports banter right now, but Memphis fans are a different breed. They genuinely believe they are above and beyond this conference. Some similarity with SMU. Their Twitter banter swings wildly back and forth between talk-ety high horse, and creepy quiet.

My impression is X is a massive tool for connecting players with coaches, and a player would be missing out on potential opportunities (offertunities?) if they didn't use it.
