Hopefully it will set in this half. This has been our biggest negative. I know Ousmane is getting double teamed but we aren't finding our best shots like usual.

Squandered a chance to go up big in the first part of the half. Our shots are not landing, let's hope fatigue starts to set in for Tech in the 2nd.

Starting out well from the start is key. Locked in from the first whistle, let's go! GMG!

Agreed! Which is why it should go to Basketball 😉

Locked in. Let's get to work.

It's not about being able to afford it. It's about where you allocate your resources, and what you give priority to.

Yes, but you are letting your love for baseball cloud what the more logical/likely choice will be.

I trust WB's decision. I'm basically saying, "Ok, but don't get your hopes up." If we follow logic, baseball has so much stacked against it I don't see it as more than a very long shot.

This, and NIL, or whatever else they need to compete. The AC expansion is at best a few years away, so that means the Super Pit renovation/new arena is possibly a decade or more away. The Athletic Department is looking years out.

FB and BB are the biggest sports for every university. I just don't see a new sport added until both of those are set up for success in the new conference.

WB already addressed the need to fundraise (and lots of it) when he gave the speech about getting into the AAC. @4:02 and @ 23:14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDYtGUbQ-TU&ab_channel=MeanGreenSports Should that stop him from laying out a national caliber plan for athletics? It's good to set a high standard for yourself. WB has a plan, now it's up to him and his department to work hard to make it happen. In that same video, at 6:53 says it all. The AC expansion is almost certainly next, so that will take time and fundraising itself. I'm sure they are looking at it through that lens, how much time that will take and how much older the Super Pit will be by then.

Agree, this has always bothered me.

It's fairly clear from this thread that the people asking for baseball is very small. If there is any pushback it will only be from a handful of people. You are free to feel how you want and state your case, but that is simply the reality of the situation.

Or maybe he's trying to do his job and elevate a program to a national caliber level?

I was so confused until I wen't back and re-read my post. 😂

Agreed. Let's hope we learn from pervious teams and emulate their success.

To go along with me previous post I think we need to be completely honest in that our advantages on paper have carried us to our new conferences and not our on field success. Things like location, school size, facilities, Texas recruiting, etc., have gotten us in over other schools. I think we've ridden that train as far as we can, if we want to make the next leap I think we all know that we have to make national level buzz in FB and BB.

We are slowly getting there, each conference move should be seen as a stepping stone to eventually being a P5 team.That might sound crazy, but there have only been 2 conferences that have been poached by P5 teams, the MW and the AAC. In my eyes we are at the doorstep to actually making it happen. The AAC will give us everything we need to make the leap, it's up to North Texas to make the right choices so it can come to fruition. Make no mistake, every other team in that conference is looking for that chance as well, it's up to UNT to show why they deserve it.

Focus. UTSA would like nothing more than to ruin our streak. Don't overlook anybody.

Sweet 16. Easy.

Agree on the media portion. I disagree on the legal portion. I don't have hard evidence, but I suspect the SBC3 offered an insultingly low offer as a penalty for leaving. Rumors say an offer was made, but no one has said how much. Maybe I'm wrong on this and I fully admit that, that's just how it looks to me from the outside. If that's how it went down, I don't see what other options CUSA had. I also find it odd that if the 3 wanted out, why not go to arbitration and allow a neutral 3rd party decide who and how much they owe?

All of you don't think she is really in her office by herself making these decisions right? You do realize CUSA has an entire legal team that is deciding the direction they go.

Again, my point is that more capacity doesn't always equal more revenue. We would need to compare revenue of ticket sales from when they reduced capacity. I tried to look up numbers, but couldn't find anything. It's the same reason NFL stadiums seat 60k-70k. They could add* 30k more seats and still sell out games, they don't because having a lower capacity allows more ticket demand and higher prices. *typo

I didn't, I always thought they practiced at The Pit.
