Watching the game last night, one of my first thoughts was that neither team would kill us with their size. I like our chances.

Jekyl and Hyde. Beat UConn by 15 then lose by 30. Beat St. John’s by a total of 21 points over two games then lose to them by 19. Beat Xavier by 18 and lose to them by 20. Inconsistent, it seems.

I feel like Charlotte (and USF) benefited from an easier conference schedule than the other top 7 teams. I could be wrong because I didn’t bother looking up their schedule, but I don’t recall them playing FAU, Memphis, SMU, UAB, or UNT twice and I think most of the teams I listed played each other twice. That being said, I was a little surprised they didn’t get in.

Have a ticket center in the UNT Union/bookstore, somewhere almost all students visit daily, plus almost every visitor. Signage everywhere on campus promoting games. Students should never not know "when the next game is." Run campus buses strategically to provide transportation to games. Promote the skills and productions of other student organizations at games. Organizations who may be made up of students who don't normally like sports. Have student musicians/bands perform national anthems or halftime, have pregame art galleries, screen Media Arts film festival winners at halftimes I like all of your ideas, but these three seem so easy and relatively inexpensive. Plus, they are all geared towards current students who obviously have a connection to the university.

I know I’ll be in the minority here, but I disagree. Looking only at the conference schedule, football finished 8th and lost close games to UTSA, Memphis, and Tulane. No loses to anyone below us in the standings. Basketball finished 7th with close loses to SMU, UAB (x2) and FAU (x2). Lost to one team below us in the standings. Very similar seasons in my opinion.

Caleb Williams: Dr. Pepper and Nissan Coach Prime’s sons: Amazon…I think. That’s all I got, so your point is well taken.

This line of thinking is why I wasn’t too upset when they beat us on Wednesday. The odds have to be in our favor, right?

You say “rejoins his dad,” but when was the last time he played where his dad coached? But, yeah, why start a new thread on this topic?

If USF goes 17-1 in conference and doesn’t make the NCAA Tournament, the selection process is more screwed up than I realized.

I agree with both statements. Yet, this is only a 1 or 2 bid league?

If I got choose, I’d take the #6 seed. That’s assuming we don’t get the #4 seed.

The beat down they (SMU) put on Memphis a couple of weeks ago has done the exact opposite of what you would have expected…for both teams.

Valid point.

Moreso than Javion or Tylor.

I don’t think any of those guys are HOF worthy, and I say that being a huge fan of each of them.

Nope

You asked for “a reason”. Maybe you can turn this into a top 10 list based on the responses.🤣

I’ll add that I think this is what the SEC does in football. Win most of your non-conference games against bad teams and then beat up on each other during conference play so people who don’t dig deeper into the numbers just assume you’re good.

I thought your reply was funny…in a ridiculous sort of way that didn’t justify a real response.

I’m going a little off topic, but I can easily see a day in the not too distant future where there are no retired numbers, no ring of honor type tributes, and certainly no statues of great players.

Odd translation to someone admitting they made a mistake and apologizing, but whatever. Pitiful Trash Is there really that much difference?

My apologies. Didn’t intend to put words in your mouth, but I certainly did. Ridiculous use of quotations on my part.
