http://www.golfstatresults.com/public/leaderboards/team/static/team3424.html We are the 5 seed playing in Bowling Green, KY - hosted by Western Kentucky Top 5 in each region move on to NCAA championships. Seems like we have a real shot. I put their national rankings in parenthesis. 1. UCLA (4) 2. Arkansas (6) 3. Texas A&M [big 12 Conference] (15) 4. Clemson (19) 5. North Texas [sun Belt Conference] (33) 6. Chattanooga [southern Conference] 7. Memphis [Conference USA] 8. Virginia Tech 9. Northwestern 10. Iowa State 11. Colorado State 12. Jacksonville State [Ohio Valley Conference] 13. Pennsylvania [The Ivy League] 14. Alabama State [southwestern Athletic Conference]

wow... I'm really sorry I ever made this topic now...

Based on shot selection, I think we swapped post for post...guard for guard...

What a fool. Why would someone NOT want to be on a team that is loaded like this one? Go figure.

I'm in.

This just has to be one of the dumber arguments I've seen in the Eagle's Nest

Oz should have been the #2 all along.

Brent has no plans on checking out over the summer, and you can take this information to the bank.

So I ran into Darrell Dickey and Todd Dodge sharing a double order of taquitos at Chico's the other day.

ODU vs MTSU comparisons Old Dominon: Endwoment:............170 Million Students:................24K Athletic Budget:.......32 Million Baketball Att:...........7,745 Football Att:............19,818....3 years of consecutive sell outs with big waiting list for season tickets. MTSU: Endowment:...........52.4 Million Students:..............24K Athletic Budget:.....20 Mill Basketball Att:.......3,640 Football Att:..........18,407 After looking at the comparisons, I think its absolutely clear as to why CUSA prefers ODU over MTSU.

Nice signing. With three years of eligibility left, this is a great addition.

Cool kicks, if you're into blatant pandering to Irish Catholics. To which I'm completely indifferent. I'll be rooting for America, that day. As I am every day. May the bald eagle of freedom e'er soar, higher and higher. Such majestic beauty. So glorious. So free.

This is one of the many things I don't get about smokers. What if I just threw my empty coke can on the ground/out the car window? Why in the world can most of them not keep their butts somewhere, i.e. their car's ashtray, and then throw them away once they find a real trashcan? As Kobe would say: "I wish we knew".

It's not just that, it is also a campus appearance issue. Smokers tend (not all, but evidence suggests a lot) to throw their cigarette butts on the ground wherever they are at the moment. You make a choice to either spend a lot of money to clean the campus, or you make them go elsewhere.

If you can get past the fact that HoopmanX is associated with SMU, he actually brings alot of knowledge to the table. I for one am glad he's here. If for anything else, to give us perspective on guys that we're seeing through green-tinted glasses. Please keep posting HoopmanX

Benfords got some balls. I like it. It's what this program has been missing IMO

interesting...don't know how many other universities that are smokeless...i understand the health/safety/smell issues, but i wonder if a university going smokeless is the right thing...i'm not a smoker, but have no problem with people smoking in designated areas

$1.4 billion endowment: How's that worked out for you the past 20 or so years? Tier One Ranking: I may be mistaken, but I think only UT, A&M and Rice are Tier One Univeristies. Big East: good luck with that. The Big East has multiple issues and you don't have an opponent, outside of UH, in the immediate vicinity. 12,000 at football games will continue and BB will get hammered in the Big East. Presidential Library: Be happy Bush decided to "retire" to Dallas. June Jones: hope he's not too busy with his inner-city ministry (still looking for that one, btw), trying to entice a bigger school or not being truthful to recruits. Larry Brown: is their a Luby's close to campus? If history repeats itself, you all will be on probation in 3 or 4 years with a former North Texas coach leading the way. Sorry, but I wish nothing but failure upon SMU. By the way, I grew up in the Methodist Church and am embarrassed that your school is affiliated with the church.

We need Odoh!

Tell us which career criminals SMU will be signing this week that couldn't hack it at a major program.

Hall was a heck of a field general. He didn't have to put up big numbers because he was always reliable and because the running game gave him great support. Hall's better than a big-numbers QB, he was accurate, and I'll take an accurate QB over a flashy one any day. And for Smith's loss meaning the decline of Dickey's history? I think it's Dickey that led to his own decline. He never properly reloaded his roster on account of either field performance, behavior, or something else. You could it miles away that he wasn't keeping the gap in talent between UNT and the rest of the SBC. That game where MTSU showed up on our doorstep after that last SBC ring was a sure sign that Dickey had fumbled.

If the orange wasn't there I'd own them.

He was one of my favorites. Too bad. GO MEAN GREN

IRVING (CBSDFW.COM) - While most of the attention is on rookie draft picks each year, sometimes it’s the undrafted free agents that really make a rookie class. Among the current Cowboys starters who went undrafted are quarterback Tony Romo (2003), wide receiver Miles Austin (2006), and center Phil Costa (2010). So, who are the rookies we need to keep an eye on at this week’s Cowboys Rookie Mini-Camp? Danny Coale, Matt Johnson, Lance Dunbar, Tim Benford, and Donavon Kemp are my picks to click this weekend: Running Backs Lance Dunbar – North Texas – (5-8, 205) – Haltom HS grad is the all-time leading rusher in North Texas football history and after flashing 4.47 speed at his Pro Day workout, Cowboys scouts became intrigued…barring an injury to DeMarco Murray, Felix Jones, or Phillip Tanner, he’s probably destined for a practice squad spot at best, but he has a legitimate chance with his hometown team. Darrell Scott – South Florida – (6-0, 231) – was a much ballyhooed recruit in 2007 who chose Colorado over Texas, then transferred to USF…turned pro after rushing for 814 yards on 153 carries (5.3) and 5 TDs in 2011…ran a 4.59 forty at his Pro Day.

That's it! We've linked Grape Chewey Gum and Cracker Barrel breakfast to CUSA chatter. This is the thread moment I have been waiting for.

Know what I haven't had in a while? Big League Chew.

Looks more appropriate for Miami U.

can they just leave Notre Dame there please?

I'd be fine with it. I honestly think most students are for it, but the pro-smoking crowd is going to be as vocal as possible against the decision

Good player who had tremendous potential here with what he did his first season. I wonder what made him leave.

I sure hope you're right, but I'm honestly pessimistic about the whole thing. One way or another, I think we are going to find out.

I think we got 1 or 2 seasons out of Scott and just Scott. ....anyone else miss him? If not him, the consistency we had while he was here?

and ?

Depends on your Bank.

This thread is classic. It's like two not at all connected threads that collided at high speeds... LOL!

smu heading to the big east reaks of grandeour. big east football may be cool, but how many are going to show up for tennis matches in connecticut and volleyball matches pennsylvania??? i get the big thoughts and the money that football may bring, but eff that...what about the fans??? north texas is finally is a spot where fans can travel to all games in all sports to all schools...how effing cool is that??? edit...i've had about 11 brews and aren't really sure as to what original topic i was replying too, just what i read...i may be way off topic!

I really hate that this young man is no longer with the football program. I thought he was a good player with a chance to be really outstanding before the end of his career. We will miss him.

Damn gas bags demanding to be fed the same amount of feed no matter its ever increasing prices.

As much as I'd like Tech to get ahead in college football, I just couldn't have them sacrifice other sports teams

And what was TexasSWSTSTATETeachers-SM doing in 1975 when North Texas had a 3'rd string QB help lead the way in beating what today would have been a bowl bound (6 & 5) SEC Tennessee Volunteers? Yes, a few years ago for certain, but that is what is called NCAA D1 history and legacy such as we had in the 50's and 60's, too. (We also beat the UH Coog's 28 to 0 that same 1975 season as well). You know you will not win any arguments over here so why the hell do you keep trying? Most every thing you post is of a confrontational nature and that gets old after while. Go to your school's board and stay there. You add nothing of interest to this board and you are becoming a bore and a nuisance. GMG! PS: And great for TSU-SM's stadium expansion (but with a track still inside it); yet after their Texas Tech game why the hell would they want all those empty seats for future games with schools who will bring no traveling fans to their stadium? We have passed the torch to TSU-SM to experience what we have for decades and still didn't get such a break as TSU-SM going from an FCS kind of existence straight to the FBS Sun Belt. Bobcat fans world-wide should be making the sign of whatever a Bobcat claw looks like. GMG! !

I think the question you want to see is when this new tv contract comes out for the Big East: Is the money that much better for Boise & San Diego St. in the Big East than what they could have in MWC without having to throw there other sports teams under the bus?

Did she pee his bed and steal his "rent money"?

I dont get how this is so hard to understand but if the Big East loses teams it is bad for CUSA. This has been proven over time. UNT should be rooting for stability.

You Tech people, always bashing the Belt, thinking your better than us...... Oh, wait.... Nevermind, your right.

And their main production facilities as well as the HQ for Telemundo are in Miami. This is a brilliant idea. Several of the teams are in heavily Hispanic markets, and, as noted, C-USA is very strong in baseball and soccer. This could be a great way to bring in additional revenue and cultivate fans for baseball and soccer, and maybe they will decide to watch football and basketball while they are at it.

I stilll don't get that SMU to big east thing... so you go out to save a conference on the east coast with exactly one decently close team and everything else faaaaar away. But what is in it for SMU? You could say its for the AQ...but its not gonna be here anymore....you could say that was not clear then...but there had already been a whole lot of talk about MWC/CUSA getting their own AQ or the AQ being abolished. It was already a realistic possiblity. You could say its for the money... but SMU already has money... and with the teams that are gone and no AQ there really will not be enough money to justify punishing all your non-revenue sports and and getting beat 80-35 in basketball about 3 times a season...and the money is not gonna be nearly as good as people think. Ok all those nice NCAA bids in BB, but people are gonna be surprised how small the TV-offer will be with the new football lineup. ESPN does not need the Big east anymore to cover the east coast. NT-fans understand what advantage it is to be in the center of your conference, and not at the fringe. I always though that move was less than ideal for both sides, but I understood that the big east had to do something to survive....but i never understood what $mu got out of it, and I get it less and less.

Why did Mac recruit sooo many little quitters last year?

Your point is not that hard to grasp. Most here would agree with you....it's just the wording that comes off as a backhanded compliment. Maybe what you really meant was: UNT did not SUCK as compared to the rest of the Sun Belt conference....but we definitely did suck as a regional player in FBS level college football. As a member of CUSA, UNT has a chance to actually become a regional player. Mind you, all of this argument is entirely centered around our football program, as most of our other sports have traditionally done a nice job regionally. Hopefully we'll give you guys a run for the football championship this year...but I think that as long as Malzahn doesn't pull a Dodge (and totally destroy and undermine your defense in year #1), you guys have a chance to be the first Belt team to land a spot in the Top 25 (at least in the last 15 years).

Your growth has nothing to do with who from the Sun Belt goes with you, or what start-up schools CUSA takes in the east. It has little to do with CUSA at all. Your growth has to do with the grouping of schools you are associating yourself with in Texas....Rice, UTSA, UTEP, UNT. You have an excellent chance to come out on top of that group competitively and if you do that task then you will blow up in Texas and your attendance will be on the road to ECU/USM levels. CUSA can add MTSU, Western Nevada, or Athens Georgia Community College and its not going to effect your opportunity. Dominate those other 3 and you are set. Try not to become elitist though.

Absurd. A gallon of milk was not 90 cents 3 years ago. Not even close. http://future.aae.wi...rea/301?area=US
