Tough choice.. Both will be very difficult! This is not the CBI, like we don't get San Francisco State or whatnot.

The courage and determination of this program is extremely impressive!

This game is blowing my mind!!

This game is unbelievable!!!

I resemble that remark - this is my new go to outfit.

As we have discussed on here before service academies do not give athletic scholarships and appointments are requires for every plebe etc..

FIFY

Damn, that's badass. Going to get some coverage up here especially on the Ticket as several of their people went to North Texas. Last edited: Yesterday at 8:22 PM Read more: https://maroonandgolden.com/forum/index.php?threads/men’s-sun-belt-tournament.1635/page-8

Well we should be taken care of in terms of home games if we can just win. Wren sits on the selection committee I believe.

For me either OU and a chance to play against Mo or Texas A&M. Would be fun to play a game at Aggie land.

Dammit Vito!!!

I like others was disappointed to lose the twins. That said, let’s move on and just go get some more good ones to join us.

Happy for Marcus but saddened that he is not on the UNT staff. Other than Cobbs not a lot of UNT representation. We have become Baylor northern campus.

You do realize that the biggest obstacle we have in softball recruiting is other competing coaches tell prospects that DeLong won’t be at UNT for “Long”…

The beautiful Jumbotron you see in the SuperPit (SP) was purchased due to several large donors who stepped up big time and gave a lot of dough. To put this story into context, it is correct that UNT owns the SP and the administration controls all scheduling and, get this, charges the UNT sports teams and other departments rental fees for usage. And they are nazis about it. They have been known to raise a stink when a practice time for basketball had to be moved due to a death in the family even when the revised date and time was not booked and crap like that. Remember the faculty and staff at UNT are like a bunch of little birdies needing to be fed but with no desire to create food or hunt for it themselves. UNT Athletics had been asking the administration for a new jumbotron for years and they were ignored. The AD was then able to get it done through their own efforts. After that, UNT wanted use of the Jumbotron for all of their events including graduation and whatnot. So even though they didn't pay for it, and lift a finger to help raise the money for it, they wanted full use of it and basically wanted to claim ownership of it. And they wanted to charge others for the use of it! This is just one story and I have many, many others that involve people like Steven Selby and the like and many other subjects of interest here. I may choose to share these at a later time if I get enough +1 votes. 😁 I love the SP and as many here graduated in there and have fond memories. If we are to become the next Gonzaga - I am convinced athletics needs their own place with no strings attached. GMG

It was reported by the Houston Chronicle that Cincinnati, Central Florida and Houston will have to pay a hefty fee of $45 million to leave the American Athletic Conference by 2023. The three future Big 12 schools are contractually required to remain in the AAC until 2024. In the article, it states that on top of the $10 million required exit fee that Cincinnati, Houston and UCF are also required to pay a $35 million fee to leave the AAC prior to the 2023 fall season as opposed to the 2024 fall season. AAC bylaws require a $10 million exit fee and a 27-month prior notice to leave, hence why the school’s are contractually obligated to stay until 2024. read more: https://wvsportsnow.com/aac-charging-future-big-12-schools-45-million-to-leave-by-2023/

The reason we had such a small signing class was the staff determined there would be a lot of value in portal transfers after spring training. I expect they will look at these Longhorn transfers along with many others. Just wish they would have taken this approach towards the portal and transfers much earlier.

Agree 100%. I think the AAC is the perfect place to make the next step. We have to do better at coaching hires, obviously in football but basketball hasn't been perfect either (Benford and Trill come to mind). I see three key goals that we need to focus in on asap. If I am the AD right now I do everything in my power to retain McCasland. Break the bank, promise him your firstborn son whatever it takes. Next, you absolutely have to make the right hire in football. This may require you moving out of your safety blanket and you may have to tell the sensitive crowd - who expects a boy scout who can win - to pound sand. It will cost money and it will require a much closer focus on the ability to recruit and build at a G5. It will also require a commitment to the assistant salary pool. Just paying the head guy a lot has clearly not worked well for us. The third and equally as important piece is getting the athletic center expanded or redone or whatever you want to call it. If we can do those three things we will be well positioned for a bright future in the AAC.

LOL so true my friend!

I couldn't get the video link to work for me so not sure exactly what happened. Will say this, we should all be inclusive of all people - no matter what their race and gender, difference etc... and anyone who says otherwise should go stick it! I do believe the vast majority of the population agrees on this.

Not disputing what you say, but can we agree that this is not the best assistant destination in the country right now? I mean who wants to jump on the Titanic?
