Coppin State (16-20) beat the top ranked team in the MEAC , Morgan State ( 22-10) 62 -60 to capture the league title and punch their ticket to the dance.They won four games in the tournament by a combined six points, and have won 12 of 13 since starting the season 4-19.With the loss , Morgan State now gets the automatic NIT bid , thus one less spot for UNT for any post season dreams.

NIT consist of 32 teams CBI will consist of 16 teams In all 113 DI teams will play in a post season tourny

Won't be the same this year with the MEAN GREEN out of it.

If TeXas comes up flat like they did last year on opening day against ARKANSAS STATE , there will be a upset in Austin. I'll take the Owls and the points

Our DEFENSE !!! If our defense somehow gets worse , I'm tearing up my degree and enrolling at a near by college

I usually try to make 1 road trip a year to watch the MEAN GREEN as the away team. I've had the Rice game circled on my calender for awhile and was really looking forward to the short drive down to Houston. My wife and I just found out they will be expecting our 1st child and the due date is , October 1st , just days after the RICE game. I really don't see how I can get out of that Plan B : Looks like now I'll be heading to Manhattan for the first time on 08/30. I know we have played there in 1985,1989,2000 and 2005 . For those who have been or planning on going where is the best place to stay , where will you be staying. Good places to eat and will you be tailgating??

Ok so you win 21 straight and yet are still only 4 1/2 games ahead of Golden State who is currently the 8th seed in the West. I don't see the streak lasting much longer with the next 5 being against the Lakers , Boston , @ NO , @ GS & @ Phoenix. If they run the streak to 26 or more , T-Mac could be your new MVP

If they didn't have the bad loss to a 10 - 21 Nicholls St. , I'd say they would have a good chance at an at large BIG DANCE bid. Good OOC wins @ OU ( 22-10) & @ San Diego ( 21-13) , but 4 of the Lumberjacks 26 wins were versus Non DI schools. Looks like NIT bound.

It is my understanding that the INDIANS were ready to move the game due to their obligation to the holiday , however several RED WOLVES do NOT recognize such or any national holidays , thus keeping the game on THANKSGIVING weekend.

I think he only wants to coach Indians

Nolan Richardson says he’s no longer a candidate for Arkansas State basketball job By NOAH TRISTER, AP Sports Writer LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP)—Nolan Richardson said he’s no longer a candidate to become the basketball coach at Arkansas State. “There were some things that weren’t able to fit,” Richardson said Tuesday. Richardson has been out of college coaching since 2002, when he was fired by Arkansas. He said last week he was talking to Arkansas State, which has had an opening since Dickey Nutt resigned Feb. 19. Richardson said he and Arkansas State decided to move in different directions. He made it clear Tuesday that he’s still interested in coaching— but only in the right situation. “I’ve got all the fire in the world in my belly,” the 66-year-old Richardson said. “I’m looking for that fit.” Richardson’s recent coaching experience includes a pair of stints at the international level, coaching national teams from Panama and Mexico. Richardson coached Arkansas to a national championship in 1994, but was fired in 2002. He later lost a discrimination lawsuit against the school. Richardson has stayed in the Fayetteville area and has been supportive of Stan Heath and John Pelphrey, the coaches who replaced him. Arkansas State does not have the same statewide following as the Razorbacks, but Richardson said last week he believed the program had the potential to attract support.

I just drove by there and it has yet to open , but it looks really nice.

As a Red Foxx I would be offended.

My inside source has told me that the makers of the JOLLY GREEN GIANT company are going to ask NORTH TEXAS to drop the term " Mean Green" as it offendeds most of it's consumers. They have suggested the name UNT "Nice Green Men"

I like the new name : JONESBORO, Ark. -- Arkansas State's athletic teams will be called the Red Wolves starting this fall, ending nearly eight decades of being known as the Indians. Arkansas State has used Indians as a nickname since 1931. In 2005, the NCAA announced a ban on ethnically or racially "hostile" or "abusive" nicknames, mascots and imagery at championship events. Arkansas State was one of the schools found in violation of the policy. The school had narrowed the replacement choices to Wolves and Red Wolves -- and Potts preferred the latter. "This would make our choice unique, and much easier to protect under intellectual property law," Potts said in a statement. "The red wolf is a noble species that once inhabited Arkansas. They are vicious and very aggressive. I believe that Red Wolves is the best choice and that is the mascot that we would like to adopt." The school will host a ceremony introducing the new mascot next Thursday.

We had a defense last year?

TOP SLC PROSPECT 09 : QB Kyle Padron 6'4 190 TOp SLC PPOSPECTS 10 : DE Jackson Richards 6'4 260 , PK/LB CADE FOSTER 6'1 195

Good to see that Todge is giving Vito the time of day. I don't understand why someone would prefer to stand outside the gates rather than be in the stands?

If JQ can talk Brett out of retirement maybe we can move it back to the Football Board

I heard former Flower Mound Marcus standout Chris Sanders will be starting for the injured Clint Doezel. I sure would enjoy seeing him play again , he was the best High School QB I ever saw play in person.

* still active All apologizes to Sammy Baugh, Steve Young, Warren Moon among others , but this is my top 11 I think Brady will be the greatest win all is said and done , but for now I have to go with Joe Cool... I saw him win more superbowls than anyone else.

I'm IN , probably by myself since i'll be coming straight from work Any chance we can get at least 4,500-5000 @ THE PIT ??

Who's going dancing ? I think South Bama will get in even if they don't win the tourny. It would be nice to see 2 Belt teams in the field of 65 this year Although they lost 7 of their last 11 , I'm picking a darkhorse.. Bo & his Privateers.
