Doubt hoops happens until y’all get another coach. Football? Who knows. 2026 game with TCU is first game non-conference against a Texas school since 2019. Meanwhile go home/home with Kennesaw, buy a game with West Georgia and travel to Georgia Tech over next three years. Atlanta is a few miles close to Jonesboro than Denton. Alabama and Georgia have been bigger than Texas in our recruiting last 15 years. Parts of Northern Alabama are closer to Jonesboro than UAB.

I was upper deck end zone of Superdome for LSU-Ohio State BCS championship. Son and I realized early in the trip drunk Tiger fans couldn’t distinguish between Arkansas State and Ohio State shirts so we bought cheap game shirts with both team logos. One shirt purple other yellow. We had cheered a good Ohio State play and quickly realized not a great idea. Just before half Buckeyes are getting ready for a field goal at the other end but raise net on our end. Lot of moaning groaning before they lowered it. I yelled they just know Tigers gonna block it for a touchdown and getting ready extra point. They freaking blocked it but couldn’t beat last man for TD. Them drunk bastards about beat me to death wanting high fives and slapping me on the shoulders and back congratulating me 🤪

Pretty bad game from three for us. First half was as good as anyone handled us in the paint this year

Heard Hodge as possible at Colorado State if Medved takes Minnesota. Only thing worse than having your coaches be mentioned in searches is being MTSU with guys too good to fire but not good enough to be wanted.

Well at least got paid at +4.5. Congratulations!

Nope I’m currently in North Central Arkansas during house repair and renovation so two hours longer than coming from Little Rock

That’s accurate.

Tough for me. I love every Memphis loss then I remember that’s our signature win for the year.

My perfect world NCAA Tournament. Top 8 rated leagues based on prior three seasons ratings their regular season champ is pre-assigned to a sub-regional (ie Big East champions to Providence, ACC to Raleigh, SEC to Lexington, B12 to Wichita etc. Tournament champions also get auto bid. Regular season champs still want to win for seeding. Next 8 rated leagues auto bid for regular season champs and tournament champs. Now bottom 8 leagues, no more first four for them. Pair up two leagues based on geography for four “NCAA District Tournaments”. Teams with 2 best conference records in each conference makes the district tournament. Then pick 2 at-large from what’s left based on NET for a total of six teams. Each regular season champ gets a bye. Winner of the tournament gets auto bid but no First Four. Change First Four to the 8 lowest at-large selections. I think the NCAA could sell the District tournaments for more money than these leagues make off tv for their conference tournaments.

I learned long ago that when you are in an event where someone else gets the gate, announced attendance usually drops (major exception Arkansas at Arkansas in WNIT).

I am but wife loves hoops and finally have a coach she doesn’t hate so we haven’t missed many home games last two seasons

I posted a bit after we played and before your game with Furman. Batshit week. Tornado missed us by two miles last Friday. Winds this week had wildfires near us. Wednesday 130 year old orphanage near us that has been turned into a community garden, farmers market, meeting space, RV park, farm, and AirBnB burned while my daughter was working at the farm market. My wife volunteers there and my cousin is on the board. Apparently got hit with the Irish curse “May you live in interesting times”

Story goes that back when the school was still affiliated with the Baptist Church they had a president who had been a bomber pilot and at halftime would lead the cheer "FU once, FU twice, FU all the time". An older lady called hime to express her concern that the cheer had vulgar undertones. He kept acting like he had no idea what she was talking about and basically forced her to plainly state what she thought was implied. He replied "Oh madam, I'm shocked, that never once occurred to me." 🙂 Only other thing I know about them is my cousin's husband went to The Citadel and he hates them which is a big plus in my book. He's a roided up dude who looks like a 5'6" fire hydrant.

Red Wolves can be really good at times. Routed Memphis at Memphis, massive comeback at UAB to win there, lost to Kent State (routed St Bonnie tonight) by one at Kent, beat Akron (13 seed auto bid from MAC) by 5 in OT, lost by 9 at Bama after being tied with 7 minutes left. One the other hand... Lost to Hofstra who finished 10 games out of first in the CAA, lost to Rice who finished 12 games out of the American, and barely escaped Texas-Arlington who finished 9 games out in the Southland. Sun Belt had crazy four way tie for first and we lost four to the other three teams in first and one to Marshall who finished a game out of first. So we can be a buzz saw or a wet noodle depending on the night.

Started slow but has 22 with 8 boards. Runs like he’s in sand.
