What is the point of this post? Neither one of these will play a down at North Texas, so I'm not even sure why this is posted here. Also, what do youi mean be "hoping Thompson is the answer, if Osborn doesn't come through?". Seems to me Thompson held the advantage coming in to spring based upon his experience in Chico's system and has done nothing the lose that advantage. I would be happy with either, because they will be better than Hall or the other player listed in your UTEP article.

I'm just glad we are getting the new stadium. I'll wait to complain when we are filled to maximum capacity every game and have to turn fans away for season tickets. I'm fine with 30,850. Go Mean Green!!!

Let's work on consistently selling it out before we worry and complain about adding more seats.

Unfortunately I'm not at the match but my daughter called to let me know that our ladies beat the Razorbacks 2-0 in the first of two spring soccer matches at Tulsa University. Kelsey Perlman and Michele Young scored for UNT. We play University of Tulsa in the second match at 5:00 this evening. Way to go ladies!

Being a Denia native, it is your duty to request that UNT and City of Denton put together a plan to route your hat to your current location. It's not your fault you packed your current wardrobe!

My TV will now be muted the rest of the Rangers season. I've never heard such horrific play-by-play for a MAJOR LEAGUE team. I always loved Lewin and my dream broadcast crew would have been him and Razor in a booth together (don't care which sport). Sadly, Lewin just isn't translating to radio for me We are incredibly fortunate to have someone as talented as Hank... thanks for all that you do in the booth and your extra-curricular work around town.

George informing Craig of the tony Mitchell story. Go jub go

DRC

And the point of this post is?

in act of consistency UNT drops 2 straight to bottom dweller WKU. So much like BB Team, we can beat some big name schools, but can not beat Sun Belt Teams.

Someone make it stop! The windmills have taken over!

The Belt teams have a history of playing on TV at the beginning of the season on a Thursday or Friday.

I say tear it down and start over whenever we see that we're actually committed to being a successful Division 1 program.

So it's a google chrome thing and not a gmg.com thing?

Uh, if we have a sprinkle of #2, that can't be good for anybody... imodium? Pepto?

Bump

Practice? We talking bout practice?

OR can Mr flowers run a 9 route and catch the ball?

Goof grief. 'Best ever' was referring to the signing class, not the graduating class. I don't know of a group of high schoolers who've been thought of as highly ever coming in together. Of course we can't judge them as a graduating class because they haven't played yet.

Good point. But we are in agreement. Great class. Best ever. Lets let them play a little before we put tons of pressure on them though.

I haven't listened to the Ticket in a long time but from what I know the banner line should have been...Dunham of the Ticket Giving Love to UNT. I used to enjoy Norm so I won't include him but the rest are dirtbags when it comes to the University of North Texas.

I"m with Side Show Joe.

A friend just text me that hoopshype is reporting that Tony Mitchell is going to declare for NBA draft. Tried to find a link, but am on cell. Conformation? Edit: http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/

Not to mention the observation deck on top of the scoreboard. It looks like they're starting to install the elevators now. April Fools!

...at which time Craig tunes out Jub because Mitchell didn't sign with or enroll at blOw U.

SMU hoops is rapidly improving. We get both our '10 & '11 class eligible next year, as well as the two transfers The issue w/playing UNT in hoops is that it's regarded as a 'no win' for SMU. I was discussing this same topic w/a college coach the other day. He said that he felt AAU was the death of the crosstown rivalry nationally. Since all these kids play each other, there will always be those kids that feel slighted, play w/a chip on their shoulder. The team in the higher power conference gets screwed by getting into a backyard brawl etc. Maybe they get a slight RPI jump if they win, but since it's a less profile league, it's not a 'good' win on the resume. He went on to say that mid-teams don't want many '50/50' games on their schedule. They want to pay for sure fire Ws, and be in a position to slay Goliath 2 or 3 times, add in a good conference record etc. FWIW, that's not my take, but I've heard it a few times, from guys at different schools, and thought it was interesting. I will say this, after profiling a bunch of areas/cities, specifically back east, there are many of these potential OOC 'rivalries' that have fallen dormant. Its not just SMU & UNT.

Where did I say anything about SMUs schedule or playing 4-5 division 2 or 3 schools a year? I didn't. None of the conversations I referenced had anything to do w/SMU, other than them being a rapidly improving program. I understand why they scheduled that way this year, but it's not like it had my rubber stamp of approval. I'm one of the few that actually vented about the schedule, as it was being made, to the powers that be. You may want to beat the pants off SMU in hoops, but to say you're far ahead, based on what's on everyones roster next year, is a farce.

I'm not against scheduling you guys, I just had input from some coaches(not SMU) as to why games like that aren't really happening anymore, which they aren't. Take it for what it's worth. Multiple coaches, none affiliated w/SMU, said it makes no sense for SMU or schools like SMU. FWIW, SMU's SOS and RPI will go up in the next few years. There was never any intent of making it perennially awful, once they had the firepower to compete vs a better grouping of teams. We'll see

No offense, but it would be regarded as a bad loss for SMU, far more than a good win. That's the reality of losing to a team in a less profile conference, unless they are a mid major that might as well be a high, see Memphis, Butler, Gonzaga etc. You guys can destroy SMUs schedule all day, and for good reason, but the goal needs to be more high mids and high majors. They're just going to dump the D2 type teams for low low majors anyway. Those are scheduled to be Ws, so they are going to schedule teams they can beat w/those dates. They aren't going to ditch sure fire Ws for a 50/50 backyard brawl type game.

I bet he would have liked to have done just that, but you just know the eye rolls that Georgie gets whenever he talks too much UNT anything on the air, or otherwise for that matter, with certain on-air members of that station. Tough balancing act for George.

Hello.. just a quick confirmation please.. practice tomorrow (Saturday) is at the Athletic Center practice fields and not Fouts correct? Thank you

In a perfect world, that first number would start with a 4. But the world is far from perfect.

Coach M is from Florida, were gonna have two QBs people.

It appears I was the victim of.a cruel practical joke at a time when I had already had several opening day beverages. My apologies to the Mean Green nation.

And also correct a few things, such as the student side seats... that could be built up a bit higher and is it to much to ask for some backs to the seats? It cannot cost that much more... if your going to put 70 million into a stadium you could at least throw in the 10k to put backings on the seats. Also the "wings" in the end zone could use a backing. It would look so much nicer to drive by on the highway and see a green backing to them, or a mural instead of seeing the steel bars
