20% ??? Lets try this again. 10 out of the top 25 in Texas are staying in state = 40% 17(10 chose schools other than UT and Tech) out of the top 50 players in Texas have decided to stay in state.(39 have decided where they will go, 3 are playing football and 8 are undecided) 17 of 39 is 43.5 % so far. Please tell me you didn't get your degree from NT.

Baylor has 9 players on their team that are Texas(1 from Louisianna) all-state players and 4 all-Americans. I'd say they were the among the best in the state of Texas. As far as the men go: Of the 2005 Texasprepsxtra Top 25 mens basketball players in Texas, 10 are staying in state: 2 for Texas 1 for SMU 1 for TCU 2 for Texas Tech 1 for A&M 3 for Baylor

I agree, he is very adept at cutting through defenses and shredding opponents. I'd like to see him work on more slashing to the basket and slicing around double-teams.

http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...0&ATCLID=112595 Mean Green Close Strong In Final Round GOODYEAR, Ariz. (3/9/05) – Junior Jaclyn Golden and freshman Halli Jo Richard both had top 10 finishes to pace the North Texas women’s golf team at the Bobcat Desert Classic from the Palm Valley Golf Club. Golden had a final round of 1-over par 72 to place fifth individually with a three-round score of 222. Richards closed with a final round of 76 and finished at 224 tied for sixth place. Junior Andra Lancaster fired a team-best round of 1-under par 70 in the final round of play to vault into the top 20 and finish tied for 16th. The round of 70 by Lancaster was tied for the best round of the tournament by an individual. North Texas finished tied for third place out of 19 teams after firing a season-low round of 296 in the third round. The Mean Green will return to action on March 14 at the Islanders Spring Classic in Rockport, Tex.

Let's take a look at Baylors' squad. Here are the high school accolades for their current Texas players(1 from Louisianna). Steffanie Blackmon: ranked #4 player in Texas ranked #57 player in USA 3 time all-state Jordan Davis: 3 time all state Chanelle Fox: 2 time all-state 2 time all American(USA Today) Melanie Hamerly: 3 time all state ranked # 1 post in Texas 4 times Monique Jones(Louisiana) 3 time all state 1 time all American(McDonalds) Emily Niemann: 4 time all state 2 time all American(Nike, Street & Smith) Chisa Ononiwu: 1 time all state Angela Tisdale: 2 time all-state 1 time Centex Player of the year Chelsea Whitaker 2 time all state 1 time all American Seems to me like the top players in Texas(and the USA) are staying in state.

The other time the refs would award Tech free throws on a non-foul with .2 seconds left.

That meant the NBA, eventually, and he was willing to do anything to get to that level. Which meant waking up every day for a year in Australia. "It wasn't easy," said Harris, who plays for the Texas Tycoons in the American Basketball Association. "I didn't know the area, which could have happened if I had played someplace like Utah or North Dakota, but I didn't even know the food. Life was different and as a result, it was sometimes hard to focus on what I needed to focus on -- basketball." Harris is one of several former area college stars who are chasing the pot of gold at the end of the NBA rainbow by playing for the Tycoons. It's not the NBA, but it could get them there. "It's a dream," former North Texas guard Chris Davis said. "Sometimes I don't know if it's a realistic one, but I'm not about to give it up. At least not yet. And it helps that I'm pursuing it here with players I'm familiar with and a place I know and love." The comfort level is important. The local players, such as former UTA standouts Jabari Johnson and Mack Callier, and Michael DeGrate, who started at UNT, all appreciate their situation. Any sport has its ups and downs, including the ABA with its bus rides and small gyms. But there's something these players can count on. "When I have a bad day, a bad game, I know I can go home and get support, instead of going to an empty room in an unfamiliar city," Callier said. "I can ask friends or former coaches what I did then as opposed to what I'm doing now. "And, there's the added plus of having family and friends see me play. We're all hoping for a better life and we're hoping basketball can give that to us." And it doesn't hurt the Tycoons either. Having name recognition has helped the team's local profile, and probably its won-loss record. "I don't think I've ever been around a team that gets along together so well," Tycoons coach Steve Tucker said. "They're basically all good kids, but the fact that they're not just a bunch of guys thrown together ... they knew each other's games before they joined this team ... that's helped us develop. "And it gives them some benefits that a lot of ABA players don't have. The Mavericks and Donnie [Nelson] are very aware of these guys and what they can do. I'm positive one or more of them will be competing for the Mavericks in the summer league this year." Jimmy King didn't play college basketball in the area, but he was a high school star at Plano East. After being in the spotlight as one of Michigan's Fab Five, he faded into the shadows after several opportunities in the NBA. "I've played in a lot of places, and to me, there's not a whole lot of difference. But there is something about being home that makes you concentrate better, feel more a part of life, as opposed to just being focused on the game. Your focus needs to be on the game, but it also needs to be on life." In the end, however, it's all about chasing that elusive dream. "Sometimes you look around at where you're playing, the small crowds and such, and wonder if it's worth it," Callier said. "And then you know. It's not time to give it up yet. I'm not ready to do that. By being here, in this area, with my family and responsibilities constantly in my thoughts, telling me what life can be like. I won't give that dream up until I either achieve what I want, or find something better." But until he achieves the dream, he knows there really is no place like home. GAMEDAY ST.

CHRIS DAVIS 6-6, GUARD, NORTH TEXAS Davis is the second-leading scorer in UNT history and is one of five Mean Green players to have a career average of at least 20 points per game.

You DO know who OGG is, don't you? If so, then you must be one bad mofo. If not, then I wouldn't invite him to tell you what he thinks. That could be bad for your medical insurance. BTW: That is him in his avatar.

http://www.meangreensports.com/ViewArticle...0&ATCLID=108534 North Texas Wins Rice Invitational, Broussard Captures Individual Title Courtesy: University of North Texas Release: 02/08/2005 HOUSTON, Tex. (2/8/05) - The North Texas men’s golf team started the spring season off with a sweep by winning the team and individual titles at the Rice Invitational at the Wildcat Country Club. Freshman Anthony Broussard won the individual title with a final round of 2-under par 70 and won the championship with a two-round score of 3-under par 141. "It was really just a matter of time with this group," said North Texas head coach Jim Bob Jackson. "As a coach sometimes you get impatient, but these kids came out and make some great shots at the right time for us to win". The Mean Green were victorious by one stroke over Memphis with a two-round score of 584, which included a final round score of 3-under par 285. North Texas had four players shoot even-par or better in the final round to hold off the Tigers. Freshman Austin Welch joined his teammate Broussard in the top 10 with a final round of 72 to finish at 1-over par for the tournament and tied for 10th place. Raul Lemus had the second best round of the day for North Texas with a final round of 1-under par 71, and finished tied for 27th place. Andreas Kali shot a final round of 75 while Jason Lindgren rebounded from opening round 80 to shoot a final round score of 72. "I’m really proud of the way that Anthony came out and played today. For a freshman to come out and do the things that he did was really impressive and really bodes well for the future," Jackson said. North Texas finished first in a field of 15 teams and will now enjoy three weeks off before returning to action again on February 28 at the Roadrunner Invitational.

I had the pleasure of watching the record-breaking performance in person. The cheering was as loud as I have ever heard at a sporting event during the moments right after the clinching run. I was lucky enough to snap a picture in mid run as he broke the record. He is top 4 in my book: In no order: Emmitt Smith Barry Sanders Walter Payton Jim Brown

I am sorry Stand-Up. It is true. I have mocked the NT Women's B-Ball Trivia Game. I was wrong for sullying an institution such as the NTWBBTG. I don't know how I could have thought my answers would have gotten through the NTWBBTG judges committee without their knowledge of the fraudulent nature of my responses. I hope you can forgive me for the mockery of a sham that I have perpetrated. GMG!!! GNTWBBTG!!!
