I guess. Maybe I'm just thinking that because Vito didn't make it sound too serious.

Well I'm trying to emphasize that it's closer to two inches. He looks like a legitimate 6'10", not a 6'8" guy listed two inches taller. Every inch counts IN BASKETBALL. I used all caps to deter that's what she said jokes, but if you must then you must.

I saw him and Tony Mitchell walk into the union together. Tony measured at 6' 8.5" with shoes at the Lebron James skills academy. Keith was noticeably taller, either an inch and a half or two inches taller than TM. Keith is for sure 6'10" with shoes on, maybe without.

Man, I don't think I've ever heard of a shoulder injury knocking a guy out for 6 months. I am not TJ nor do I know anything about the situation so I am no position to speak about his situation. I just think that if he can come back in early January or so it would be worth it. This is the last year we will have Tony Mitchell so we need to make it count, which means having everyone. Maybe we don't need TJ to win the Sun Belt or make it to the dance, but we want more than that this year and he is can be that difference maker for us in march.

Yeah he should be back. It is a slight assumption, but not a big one at all.

I will be surprised if we don't get one as a a team saturday

Exactly. The good thing is it looks like Benford is building up this roster very well for life after TM.

While it would be great to see him stay for 4 years, it might not be the best thing in the long run. If he leaves he can get started on his NBA career at 21 rather than 23 (if he stayed all four years). He can show to future recruits that you can go to UNT, have a successful college career, and still be drafted in the lottery picks.

Club baseball tourney in Houston, me plus the rest of the team!

I think it might be possible that our roster, with CJ and J Will back plus the additions of Coleman, Hardwick, and TJ Taylor (as long as he's eligible), might be the best in the conference even if we didn't have Tony Mitchell. TM will take us that much farther but I think we have surrounded him with the best roster this conference has to offer.

Maybe, but at least Tony deserves it and has said all the right things when interviewed.

Yup. It should be awesome to see what they can do together with some time.

Does anyone know how much a GA will cost at Roberston? I just found out we are going to Houston for a club baseball tourney so I will be going to the game.

I understand, but if they have done any research on our team they would know that our record last year does not reflect how good we are going to be this year. I'm not expecting a win this game, but with this roster we should be able to at least keep it close. Some are predicting scoring 100 on us, Tony Mitchell in particular would never let that happen. I really want to shock some people and shut these fans up.

They are overlooking us so much, it's pretty ridiculous. On the ESPN.com conversation for this game they are talking mad trash. McDermott is a really good player and all, but they think he is the second-coming of Larry Bird or something and they're showing no respect for us. Not even Tony Mitchell. I really want to blow them out on their home court, preferably in front of a national audience.

Called Texas Southern Division II. Anytime someone doesn't know the difference between FCS (D-1AA) and Division II they lose credibility in my eyes.

I don't know who their left tackle was last year but he was pushing AK47 all night. Brandon was relentless and got by a few times but I doubt he graded out very well that game from what I saw.

Haha, my bad. I meant to quote GreenBat

You're right, we sure do but I'm talking about a guy who single-handedly carry the offense for stretches of games, and not just once a year. The good thing about having so many scorers that you referenced is that we shouldn't need to rely on one guy, but it sure is nice to be able to.

I absolutely agree. He has all the tools, he just has to produce consistently. We need a reliable third option, especially if TJ Taylor is ruled out for part or all of the season. Either way we are loaded.

He actually asked about both. 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons, although he referred to them separately as 2013 and 2014.

Don't show those stats to any other schools. WE NEED TO KEEP HIM

And I wouldn't say your heading to an AQ conference. You'll have to do more than just win the Big East to play in a BCS bowl. As for support of TWU vs UNT, there is no comparison and if you've spent any significant time in Denton you'd know that. Not that we don't support TWU, it's just not comparable to UNT.

We'll have to wait and find out. I don't know if you've seen our defense play but they are pretty stout this year, especially in the secondary. We have a rs frosh cornerback Zac Whitfield who is a converted running back and has been burned a few times but has also made some spectacular plays that few could make. Other than those few times our secondary has at least kept everything in front of them, so this should make for a good matchup. Also, I like Dewayne Peace as a receiver and I played against Andrew Rodriguez a few times in high school and thought he'd work out well in Houston. I saw he had about 80 yards the first game but nothing since. Did he get hurt or did he just get passed on the depth chart?

My optimistic prediction: UNT - 27 Houston - 23 My realistic prediction: UNT - 17 Houston - 31 Piland will have more yards than DT, but luckily DT should get plenty of help from Jim Jim & Co. One thing people should realize after they're temporarily done squabbling is UNT has a great advantage in this game, and that our propensity to win the turnover battle. We have a secondary very capable of making plays so if we can get a decent pass rush look for multiple picks. If the O can keep the ball off the turf and DT can keep from trying to do too much we will have a good shot come the fourth quarter. Also we need special teams to step up. If this game is not close in the fourth quarter in either team's favor it will be a surprise.
