Green Crazy

We must have had them a short while because I never remember seeing the mops. My peak annoyance with this is years back when kids were the ones with the towels, like 10-12 year old kids! Those kids like most kids weren't interested or diligent enough to do a good job and thus put every player on the court in danger injury wise. I think even the older towel dudes are doing that because of the tools they are given. Maddening.

Do we not have $800 in our Basketball budget for these? Why do we have two guys on each end with towels still? I really can't make any sense of it. Without question it's the most laughable/cheapest looking thing about our Athletic Program.

We're playing flat partly because our crowd is sparse and quiet. This is like a middle of the road c-usa team crowd, not a NIT crowd.

And more than the fans.

Looks like ole miss is in the final stages of hiring him.

If we don't win the first two games it proves the committees were right. We shouldn't be scared by Sam Houston unless we need home court to win.

21 points by Walker...looks like he's mad he didn't get player of the year.

Adams "stepped down" as Tech's coach.

He's honoring Leach with the name and picture, but I believe he did this at UIW as well. Just something he's bringing with him from that era...like the offense.

Anyone else think they could have done better with the his eye?

They are looking for reasons to get rid of him. Adams has already blown up on the AD and big time donors this year. Add that to this year's record and it's almost a done deal he's gone.

It was actually, "...what made North Texas the right fit for you?".

Not sure if it was brought up prior on a different topic but Carlos made an appearance on the Netflix show Full Swing. The 7th episode was about rookies so half of it was following Mito Pereira around. They talked about how the Hispanic golfers are close with each other and Mito had a get together at his house that Carlos attended and received a little attention. Sebastian was also on the episode, but it was just a couple of clips of him and some other golfing buddies waiting to congratulate/console Mito after he blew the PGA championship.

They'd be stupid not to take Beard.

I'm sure Tech would take him back

This is what I was just thinking. I bet that would be a small bump in attendance alone. Especially for the early season games where it might be 90 degrees and above. The game would be over by the time any good plans/parties have started and if they did it right their buzz would be fading.

I like the bogo and discounted idea, but for the upper wing? Realistically it should be any seat in the north endzone. If we just did that for upper wing then there would be 40 rows of empty in between them and the next occupied seats. Baby steps. 🙂

I'd rather have another UNT sport's nut like myself, but I'd take all the UNT non sports students over a ut or utsa grad that does know sport's. 😉

I think you overestimate the sports IQ of the people on our campus. I was going to say that most don't really know the history of Memphis' program. Since casual fans of college basketball keep track of it during one month of the year most of our students were 6 or younger the last time Memphis made it past the first round ( I think). Not surebthey would remember Wichita St's run of a couple years. People on this board do, but we're obviously not the norm.

Besides smu and Memphis, which teams do you think our students will get up for? Because passive fans/students probably barely know much about anyone else. Honestly, I bet most don't know Memphis. At my job where I've worked for 17 years, we've had 13 employees including myself that have graduated from UNT. Only myself and another man have been back to campus let alone go to a game. Then you say, well, I'm sure they went to games while they were there, 4 have been to a game(including me and the guy). I know because I beat them down about it. And it's not because they are disinterested and we were 6-6, it's because they could care less about sports and they could care less about UNT honestly. It's just a place they got a degree. 6 of them are recent grads and I interviewed most of them and would break the ice by asking them if they could name the coach and the QB (Mason in his prime) not o e could do both and one new Mason's name. The only way we fix this is by winning for a long time and students wanting to come here because we have a good athletic program. Because the current students don't care.

KD probably wouldn't have been invited anyway.

The reason we're not selling out the pit isn't because our students/alumni are sport's snobs, it's because they aren't sport's fans at all. Having a big school come in would bring a big crowd...for one game, then the next game would be back to normal.

This only pertains to the HS recruits apparently and I'm unsure if they took in number of recruits into their analysis. I would think probably not, but just guessing and it didn't mention it in the write up.

Good stuff
