We'll be a 15 seed.

Looks tasty. I never thought it would happen, and have been proven wrong. Thanks JJ & team.

He must've been inspired after watching Mr. 3000.

Waiting on NT to field a team. Rangers and Twins professionally.

The Sun Belt isn't strong enough this year to warrant two bids. If the team had won 75% of conference games, we could at least hope for an NIT bid.

No ebone. Either you support the Mean Green, or you kill puppies.

Yuck.

Time for another contract extension!

Baylor and SMU co-national champions in 4 years. Confirmed.

If Vizza ends up growing a couple more inches and can spend 4 years as the QB with Dodge here, he may be a great college QB and a real NFL QB/WR prospect. That's a lot of if's, though, especially considering that Dodge may pull in more QB recruits in coming years. I'm not sure if Vizza is meant to be the 'franchise' QB or if he's meant to be a 1 or 2 year starter. Does anyone know his 40 time? Really, looking down the list the two that I expect to be great for us in college and make a run at the NFL are Sam Roberson (WR) and Matt Tomlinson (OL), simply based on their size.

Way to overreact. I wasn't comparing them against NT at all other than you questioning what would happen if the two teams play. NT is a non-factor in post-season college basketball, and it's been that way for a long time. I still listen to the games and follow the team, because they're my school. You're trying to play both ends against the middle on me. As a college basketball fan, UTEP isn't even on the radar and won't come anywhere near the tournament, let alone the sweet 16. I honestly don't give a crap about UTEP. I only mentioned the school because of Gillispie and the link between the two schools. Take your inferiority complex to an ACC, PAC10, or Big Ten board. Argue your case there.

Well, UTEP's lost to both Tulsa and Rice, teams NT has beaten. Beyond that, losses to New Mexico State (2x), Jackson State, and Chicago State (lol?). Just saying UTEP didn't sustain the momentum from Gillispie's season before leaving for A&M, and doesn't look to be getting to the tourney this year.

Wouldn't have mattered if we hired Gillispie. If he left UTEP for A&M, he sure as hell would've left NT for A&M. Now UTEP is back in the same gutter they were before he was hired.

It's either that one or the one at Teasley where you have to make such a sharp turn to the right that, depending on your car, you can't go above 30-40mph and then have to gun it to 60-70 to merge within about 25 feet. The cops should monitor traffic through town more on I35E. They could rake in the cash.

I would guess due to his small size.

The plans call for a new food court and an IMAX theater. All of Stonebriar Center in Frisco was $200 million from what I remember, so $50 million is nothing to sneeze at for a structure that already exists.

The main problem with Denton is (and has been for a while) the lack of a decent mall. Now that this new company has bought GTM and is saying they'll be putting $50 million into it, as well as Rayzor Ranch opening over the next few years, it shouldn't be much of a problem for too much longer. I'm sure it'll be a while before you get nearly everyone staying in town, and even then, you have a lot of freshmen every year who can't resist the temptation of going home every weekend for something familiar. I think what it'll take is the school taking away the right of freshmen to park their cars on campus, the two malls being ready to go, and an improved transit system to keep people in town. But by then I bet the train will be complete and you'll have an all new ability to easily get to lower greenville from Denton very cheaply. Who knows.

They're like pigeons in Alaska.

It's ridiculously low considering we're building a stadium for, probably, the next 50 years and NT is horrible about building anything new. So if 32,000 are built today, I guarantee you there'll be 32,000 twenty years from now, or maybe they'll build a huge metal bleacher grandstand in front of the athletic center.

From the December 3, 2004 NT Daily:

From the NT Daily: There's a reply on the Daily article from someone saying that yes, in fact, the organization was around in the past and had the exact same name. Interesting that this never came up until just now.

You could say the same thing for almost every other season he's coached. His teams are usually on the losing side of close games.

Well, beggars can't be choosers, but this is short-sighted to say the least.
