The maintanence man at work today asked what the latest was at UNT. I told him about Forrest and mentioned that they took 4 weeks to uncover what we could not uncover in 4 years. He is a native of Louisiana and said "What makes you think it was LSU that found it out? They are in the SEC man, not the Sunbelt."

In one of RV's quarterly meetings many years ago didn't he say that he had a donor who had committed to pay the CUSA entrance fee whenever we got admitted.

Coach said last night that North Texas is High-Major. Why would we care about a mid-major poll?

More people than at the MTSU game, however not as many tickets sold.

You mean we are not going to 24 just yet, don't you?

There are some advantages to being in a lower profile conference and sharing a media market with other 1A teams. Never rejoice in someone elses problems and always consider that there may be things unknown to you.

Even if you win another tournament and average more than 20 wins per season it matters not unless you go to the big dance, http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=297&articleid=20120311_297_0_DougWo751966

I find it difficult to believe that Utah State has two running backs better than Lance.

This will be their first trip to the NIT.

Prediction if expansion is limited. East Football: ECU,Marshall,UAB,USM,Tulane,Tulsa,Rice,UNT,UTEP West Football: UNM,AFA,CSU,Wyoming,UNLV,Nevada,Fresno,Hawaii,SJSU East Olympic: ECU,Marshall,UAB,USM,Tulane,Tulsa,Rice,UNT,Charlotte West Olympic: UTEP,UNM,AFA,CSU,Wyoming,UNLV,Nevada,Fresno,SJSU This allows UTEP to maintain a Texas presence and reduces costs for them in all other sports. Charlotte football will ultimately move up to FBS and they will be given preference in that sport for future expansion. Charlotte has large market and ECU and Marshall are accomodated and they travel to UTEP once every other year for football only.

All other sports in 2013. http://online.wsj.com/article/AP277e63c6c35549e185b82d945deb5147.html

I noticed on the box score that Arkansas State shot 38 free throws vs 9 for FAU. South Alabama shot 36 free throws vs 19 for Troy. Those numbers give me some concern.

Do you think ULL was sandbagging because they preferred a matchup with us?

It appears that win or lose tommorrow we will likely play Denver again in our first tournament game. I am assuming of course that ULL beats ULM.

I think that by dedication and hard work, Boutwell will make himself an all-conference player before he graduates.

I am pretty sure that Ted Davis attended NT but not sure if he graduated. http://www.nba.com/bucks/features/Broadcasters_200607.html

Rawlins commented at the time that he has known Benson for over 10 years and spoke highly of him.

With additions or possibly some form of merger should the SBC consider a name change. I think that in order to show that we are on the cutting edge of conference change that we should change the name to, The Conference of Whats Happening Now.* *With credit to Flip Wilson (may he rest in peace) for the inspiration.

From the MAC to the WAC to the SBC perhaps next he will be commish of the SEC.

I hope this hasn't been posted elsewhere on the board. http://espn1420.com/so-what-is-this-new-league-going-to-do-from-the-birds-nest/

Here is a mention of NT. http://www.foxsportshouston.com/02/13/12/C-USA-Mountain-West-to-merge-this-year/landing_uh.html?blockID=665332&feedID=3714

Rawlins is a ninja. A ninja doesn't talk, he just quietly goes about his ninja business. He is not just any ninja, he has Chuck Norris's and Mike Ditka's DNA spliced into his body. Unfortunately many of our younger posters think ninjas talk about what they do and have names like Donatello, Michaelangelo, Raphael and whatever. A real ninja doesn't live in a sewer and answer to a rat. That is what SMU ninjas are named and it is what they do, but then if you newbies knew this you would understand why they are our arch nemesis!

I am sure that all 785 FIU fans at tonights basketball game support their inclusion.
