What if Benford wins the SEC Tournament? It can happen. LSU is loaded and Benford knows the game of basketball. It would be short lived because I don't believe he can manage a major BB program. But a short burst of success is not out of the relm of possibility at LSU.

I live in Bowling Green, KY which is 112 miles from Louisville. I was declared the biggest & best Mean Green fan (by default) in the entire state of Kentucky way back in the 90's when I moved back to my home state after graduating from UNT.

The Mean Green Mean Green Mean Green t-shirt is cool. D-Gizzle stepping up their game. Too bad I live 800 miles away else I would have me one and a couple tubes of Pepsodent to boot.

UNT has lost 9 straight to WKU so if we face them in CUSA championship game in doesn't look good for an NCAA automatic bid. 15 points in the first half is unacceptable at div 1 men's college bb. Very drastic improvement is needed,

My H.S. coach in KY (30 yrs experience & coached a couple future NBA players) always told us the you can't stop a man from scoring if he is allowed to travel with the ball by the refs. Seemed so obvious but it is very fundamental to the game of basketball and the UTSA player was allowed to get away with this cardinal violation. You expect traveling/walking calls to be missed in high school level BB or overlooked for special needs kids playing basketball in PE class; but no place for travelling/walking by the ball carrier in the Div. 1 college bb ranks.

UNT should never ever lose to UTSA in any sport. Should be a sign to this effect over the locker room exit door for all men's and women's sports.

No reason to replace the Superpit. Waste of money to do so. Renovating the Superpit makes more sense as the location on campus is excellent and the arena still looks modern for a 70s era building.

Mason said they played hard for 2 quarters and need to play all 4 quarters. North Texas looked tired on defense in the 4th. Or was it just lack of enthusiasm ?

UTEP could surprise UAB today. Very long road trip for the blazers and UTEP is much improved.

Coach Littrell really really hates losing. He accepts losing these games but it is hard for him. Very obvious from his body language. I have complained since 1987 (although UNT started to briefly turn the corner in 1988) that UNT is too easy to accept losing at FB and BB. If I remember correctly, it seems like Gene Stallings made a comment about UNT's "losing" culture once. Living in Kentucky, where losing at men's BB isn't accepted by the UK fans; my perspective is a bit different. Championships are won here or your history. North Texas fans just move on to something else or give up The insouciant UNT fan base has tolerated underachieving UNT athletics for decades. Makes my head explode only because of UNT's enormous untapped potential. And of course I graduated from UNT.

Littrell is an excellent coach who happens to come from the Texas Tech (Mike Leach) pedigree. This means spread offense, high scoring, high risk vs. high reward decisions and yes; vulnerable to conservative play , big size, bruising defenses like UAB.

C-USA officials appear to have likely changed the outcome of the ODU / WKU game yesterday with an 3 consecutive untimed downs at the end of regulation and with the score tied. (1. WKU FG = NG, 2. WKU FG = NG, 3.ODU FG = Good & ODU wins). Not to say ODU couldn't have won in OT, but WKU coaches can't complain publicly about C-USA officiating that most likely changed the outcome. GE&H says that if Fine's non fumble wasn't reviewed illegally by C-USA officials; UNT is 7-1. Would love to see C-USA officials work and SEC game just to expose their ineptitude to all the P5 fans.

Liberty lost to UNT in large part due to Liberty's horrific special teams play. They otherwise looked like a descent fb team.

How long as Brent Stockstill played at M.T.S.U. ? It seems like 7 or 8 years. Wouldn't mind CUSA championship being played in M-boro though because it is only 1.5 hrs drive from my home. Last time I went to a game there Booger had is famous sack and scoop where he sacked MTSU QB and came up with the ball somehow.

Pretty fair analysis and I was afraid that all the distractions today would cost UNT the game. LA Tech is a very good football team this year and if you get Dancy back from injury, the Bulldogs should win CUSA.

Been saying this for the 30 years I have followed North Texas Football. UNT fans keep waiting for Notre Dame to announce they are transferring their football team to Denton for a ready made program to follow. Can't build that on our own....nahhh. Too much effort involved. And then comes the 100% every time and every year response from UNT students and alum..."uhh..I'm a Comboys fan".

Timing is everything.

According to this source, UNT Physics isn't so shabby after all. Notice I only placed the rank within the state of Texas because I have completely given up on convincing Texans to stop bashing their own schools compared to other Texas schools. This website also ranks UNT Physics in the top 15% nationally which is the true measure. Cal. Berkeley is ranked #1 (USA) and a well deserved ranking. UNT Physics #5 in Texas

Aluminum scrap was fetching about $0.75/lb when they tore down Fouts. Wonder if UNT collected some recycle $$ on those bad boys?

Sure do look better and a lot more enthusiastic too. Wilburn was special and UNT had a great punter back then too (Baker). UNT used to be known for having great punters. I for one hope that OU continues to play UNT. Very friendly fans up there in Norman too.

But Auburn wins against real competition on an almost annual basis and sometimes at the very highest level (i.e. defeats Bama etc.). The "win" culture is something that I think has been missing from UNT athletics for decades. Of course Mac came from Florida and we see how that worked out for UNT.

Yeah..I heard back this back in the 80s.....NTSU had the top ranked optics program in the country until Hurely ran off the profs. They all ended up at Arizona and propelled them to #1 overnight. But I went to grad school at another University for physics, and I can tell you that UNT blows their program away in almost every regard.

Agree with you about RV or the President must go. Accountability starts at the top and this athletic program is an embarrassment to the entire UNT community. But I have a BSP from UNT that has served me well in my career. Never thought of the UNT physics program as mediocre. That is...unless you compare UNT physics to Cal. Berkley, M.I.T. or Princeton. Then I might agree.

Absolutely no question about it...RV will be fired. The President of UNT has no choice, so don't worry about RV being here much longer.
