Budget, support, school prestige, conference, opponents, etc. I think Harper, though. Doubt Cross will come over.

So...your angle is now "recruiting violations, no prob?" Oh, the irony.

TCU has a basketball team?

Yeah, he really slid that one in there. I'm just glad it's out in the open now, so I can just assume he's a TCU-version of Cougar King. Makes it easier to ignore.

Well at least now we know you're a troll.

This is the best news coming out of Denton in years.

You only have to be marginally better than Brock to make the Texans into a contender. #1 defense without JJ Watt. I mean, come on. All you have to do is not be brock.

We just need him in the playoffs. We can go 9-7/10-6 with anybody at QB.

It's going to happen. Texans are #1 destination from pretty much all media sources.

It's probably going to eat you alive when Tony Romo signs with the texans, huh? Also consistently winning lol Texans have more playoff wins than Dallas last twenty years and division champs 3 of last 4. Anyway...the point is Lance needs to leave the cowboys, if they aren't going to utilize his scat back abilities.

I'd love to see him in Houston. Bill O'Brien's scheme uses a lot of running backs, he'd fit in well. Someone has to catch Osweiler's poorly thrown check downs, maybe he could turn them into something big.

I wish that SMU would bring fans but I'm just glad the series continues.

I'm cringing at the fact high schools now have IPFs.

McCarney seemed to think it gave us an advantage in many games we won. Whether or not it's true is debatable, I'm just saying. Count me in on the "we need an IPF" I'm just simply stating history.

I mean, I will say the big reason why we beat Ball State was we were trained with the heat. It also gives us a massive homefield advantage. But we need an IPF.

.401 winning percentage, by god. Most of those are probably D2 wins too. *vomit*

Exactly!!

Statistically, they weren't, and we have no way to prove attendance. The few things I can find says he didn't, but okay.

I think a larger budget for assistants needs to happen. I don't want us to get too excited about Littrell and start giving him a raise and end up with an albatross of a salary like Mac.

UNT has never made the second round of the tournament. UNT's first invite was 86. It wasn't my era. Statistically, the mid-2000s was our most successful era. Yes, we were ranked under Blakely, but the reality is we had sustained success under Johnny unlike any other. I'm not going to sling mud at you, I'd prefer not to get in a pissing match with you when your entire argument is built on nostalgia. My argument is that numbers don't matter to recruits. Lively atmosphere is what matters. A full arena will always be a better draw for recruits than a full--and empty--arena.

Your consistent arguments about how big UNT is and how that affects attendance is pointless. UH has terrible basketball attendance and they're larger. It literally means nothing. And for the record, I do think Apogee is too large. Build it at 25K, expandable to 40K, and then 50K. No, but our greatest basketball year was 2007. New MBB stadium should be 5K, expandable to 7K.

It's been Kelly green for a while. also I'm confused. I thought everyone hated the green on these uniforms.

I didn't attend in 2007. I quoted his best years, and said we've never averaged enough to make more than 5K logical. Which I just laid out for everyone. North Texas basketball has never--even in its heyday--brought enough for an 8K arena. We didn't sell out the Pit for Tech in the best years of UNT MBB. That's the reality. We didn't sell 8,000 tickets, either.

We averaged 3552 during 2011-12, and 2716 in 2010-11. So please keep telling me how incredible our attendance was with Johnny. The reality was that the crowd was engaged, and the students were in force. None of that happens anymore. A 5K-6K stadium is more than adequate. All the way back to 2007...3700 was our high point for the season. Y'all live on another plane of reality sometimes. A smaller stadium would have an incredible atmosphere. EDIT: how bout instead of downvoting, you just reply and refute my points? I'm genuinely curious as to why y'all think 10K needs to happen

I was. Go look at the numbers, they're not what you think. If we built a 5K arena Tech would've been a sellout. That's it.
