Dammit! I clicked on your post to see a bracket.😠🤣🤣

They didn’t exactly expand the playoffs. Same number of teams make the playoffs, now just divided between division 1 and division 2. Double the number of state champions, so yes, expanded from that perspective. You most likely know this, I just thought I’d clarify for those who may not keep up with high school ball. Dumb move by the UIL in my opinion. No more regional tournaments or even a state tournament. Now only the championship games are held in San Antonio. Part of the fun of the state tournament was seeing the teams play in the semi-finals and predicting who would win it all. On topic, I hope Thomas can come to UNT and have an impact.

How’s the Landry Stakes?

Even worse than the dunks is keeping a diving catch by the losing team in the same game as the walk-off grand slam they edited out. WTH?

Why?

I could very easily be wrong, but I think it will take the right situation for Ross to leave…similar to Grant. He’s from Texas and has coached in Texas most of his career. I think he’ll be selective.🤞🤞🤞

I agree. McCasland had a lot of success at lower levels before UNT and of course won here for six seasons. Also 5 years as a Baylor assistant. MUCH more experience than Hodge. Did you know McCasland has won 20+ games in all but one season as a head coach and that year he won 18 games and won a game in the NCAA tournament. Impressive.

And Memphis wins by 12. I didn’t watch the game, did Memphis pour it on at the end? Did Rice go cold? Did Rice fouling at the end contribute to the wide margin?

And can we please stop comparing playing college football to someone’s profession? Also, many high school head coaches* make a living “on the shoulders of the young men who actually play the game and deal with lifetime injuries,” so we obviously need to pay the high school players too. *I say head coaches because the majority of assistant coaches compensation is for teaching, not coaching.

Or maybe…

Agree to disagree, but it’s all good. FYI, when I asked “How?”, I was legitimately just asking. You’ve answered and I can definitely respect your point of view, even if I don’t completely agree. At the end of the day, we’re both celebrating a W.

The Newell call was a make up of a terrible call against Reid (I think). Also, there was an obvious foul against us that wasn’t called as their player was falling out of bounds…sorry, but I can’t remember the players involved. Calls missed both ways, as usual, but I never had the feeling they were getting home cooking.

How? I actually thought it was one of the better officiated games (and that’s not saying it was good). A few questionable calls that went our way.

They’re like a$$holes, not for them. “Excuses are like a$$holes, everybody’s got one and they all stink.

I never really liked the autobid for conference tournament champions. The regular season should mean more than an end of season tournament. Isn’t there a conference that’s making it almost impossible for anyone but maybe a top 4 seed to win the conference tournament? I know I saw a crazy bracket, but I can’t remember if it was real or just a proposal. I also don’t like the fact that there will be several teams in the tournament who are not as good as UNT, but honestly, many of those teams are what make the tournament special every year.

Memphis ranked 7 spots ahead of us and they are almost guaranteed of getting in (and of having a sub #7 seed). Meanwhile, we are guaranteed NOT to get in if we don’t win the conference tournament. I get based on the body of work, yada, yada, yada, but it stinks.

3rd option: sometimes games like this just happen. See UNT vs UTSA…and countless other examples from around college basketball.

I’m not trying to be a forum Nazi. I’m actually one who doesn’t mind some of the banter with the trolls. But this isn’t banter, this is UNT fans posting videos of UH losing in situations we’ve never once been in and acting like it’s a good dis. Or playing semantics by saying we’ve played in a Cotton Bowl game when that’s obviously never happened.

Or double down on a ridiculous point.

Give me Prince and Tom Petty as my favorites. I honestly don’t remember much at all about either performance, but I know at the time I thought they were great.

You guys trying to have a dick measuring contest are making yourselves and UNT look bad instead of the troll and his school. For the love of God, quit engaging him.

That’s fair, though I think your troll percentage is a little low🤣 I think I would speak for a lot of people when I say the “social, political, provocative” is a turnoff. Again, nothing to do with race. I used to be a huge U2 fan (and I still like their music), but Bono wore me out with his mostly political speeches during concerts. I haven’t had a desire to see them live in years. I don’t want politics, etc as part of my entertainment. I don’t find politics entertaining. I love music and I love sports, but I prefer that politics not be a part of either. You say the negative response had nothing to do with his music, but rap/hip hop is certainly more a part of the black community than the white community, so I wouldn’t think it would be surprising to see white folks say it sucked. Country music is more a part of the white community, so I would expect a large percentage of the black community to think, let’s say, Blake Shelton performing at halftime would suck. Neither is racist as most whites would feel the same about Post Malone and most blacks would feel the same about Darius Rucker.

CBL, you have to admit that you didn’t get the reaction you were expecting or hoping for. Good trolling effort, but the results just weren’t there. I didn’t watch the halftime show (and not much of the game either), so I don’t know if it was good or bad…most likely depends if you like the genre. I probably wouldn’t have liked it because it’s not my musical taste, but that has nothing to do with race. Am I racist towards whites because I don’t like country music and most likely wouldn’t enjoy a halftime performance from “current country music star?”
