If Jimmy Tubbs had done his job as an assistant coach, he would not be the head coach and SMU would be a top 20 basketball program.

Ass Kicker Robin Ventura?

20 out of 20

My favorite was the Cedric Carson 1/2 court shot against Sam Houston State in the early 90s. It was "Paranoia in the Super Pit." Talon 90 jumped on the court and was in the middle of the celebration.

SMU to fire basketball coach 12:46 PM CST on Friday, February 27, 2004 By CALVIN WATKINS / The Dallas Morning News SMU will hold a 4 p.m. news conference today to announce the firing of men's basketball coach Mike Dement. Dement was told about his dismissal by athletic director Jim Copeland this morning, according to school officials. Dement will inform the team before today's scheduled 1 p.m. practice. An interim coach for the remainder of the season will probably be named at the news conference. Dement, who has one year remaining on his contract, had asked SMU for an extension before the start of the season. Copeland said he wanted to extend the contract, but said he would wait to evaluate his coach at the end of the season. The 39-point loss to Boise State last night, SMU's second worst at Moody Coliseum, apparently was too much to handle for Copeland. SMU has lost by double figures seven times this season, including a 35-point loss on national television to Oklahoma State and an 80-40 loss at Rice. SMU (10-15) started the season 6-3 with wins over Texas Tech and Purdue, but has lost 12 of 16 games since. The Mustangs are 4-11 in Western Athletic Conference play. Dement, in his ninth season, has a record of 138-120 at SMU. Since going 8-20 in his first season, he has won at least 15 games each year, but has failed to coach SMU to an NCAA tournament berth. SMU was 21-9 in 1999-2000, but lost in the first round of the NIT in Dement's lone postseason appearance at the school. He has a career record of 260-243.

We'd be happy if ALL the cheerleaders were there!!

Softball season coming up. We're always complaining about not having anything to watch after basketball. Now we have something to cheer for. I just spoke with Rebecca at the UNT Ticket office and the is NO COST to get into the games. That's right it's FREE. I work in Downtown Dallas and will have to do some rearranging of my work schedule, but I'm going to make as many games as I can. Hope everybody wjo reads this will do the same. We have a chance to help coach Segal make this program work from the get-go. I hope everyone will do there part. SOFTBALL SCHEDULE

FFR and I made a sign for UTA that said Tuck Fexas Arlington. They took it down, but it was classic. Another sign we made when we played SFA, who was coahed by the guy from Tulane, when they were accused of Point shaving. UNT by 22, give or SHAVE a few. They made us take that one down as well. Aah the good ole days! GMG

Just got a call at work from former UNT BB coach Tim Jankovich, who is an assistant coach at Kansas. He is in town looking at kids in the holiday tournaments. He was interested in where the SOC boys were playing. Don’t have any idea who he was wanting to see. Any ideas?? GMG

Ratliff was the SI player of the week

I hope it is not true, because Andrew is a great kid. But if it is, "Don't let the door knob hit ya, where the good lord split ya."

The Ath. DEpt. has invited Mark Cuban to the game. With Bracey Wright from The Colony playing for IU, should be a pretty good crowd.

Offense puts asses in the seat, DEFENSE wins Championships. Who among the Mavs starting five plays defense. Exactly NO ONE. The Mavs will win no more than 50 games and be the fourth or fifth seed in the West. They will be eliminated by the Minnesota Timber Wolves in the first round of the playoffs. Mark it down.

Who is going to stop Duncan? Who is going to stop Shaq? Who is going to stop Yao Ming? Who is going to stop Divac? The Mavs are the third best team in the MidWest nad the fifth best team in the Western Conference.

From SoccerBuzz.com North Texas stuns #20 Denver The University of Denver fell to North Texas 3-2 in two overtimes in Denton, Texas. This loss marks the Pioneers' first conference loss in 25 matches. The last loss recorded against a conference team was on September 21, 2001, against North Texas. Senior Melissa Behrent and junior Maggie Kirchhoff scored the Pioneers' two goals. The loss snaps Denver's seven game winning streak and drops them to 9-2-0 (2-1-0) on the season. The Pioneers were tied when freshman goalkeeper Danielle Wiley received a red card in the 76th minute for touching the ball out of the box. The game remained tied and was forced into its first overtime. The match was still scoreless until North Texas struck with 24 seconds left in the second overtime. A goal from Kristen Campbell ended the Pioneers winning streak and put North Texas up 3-2. Way to Go Lady Eagles!!!!

Rockets misfire as Clemens rallies By David King San Antonio Express-News Web Posted : 10/04/2003 12:00 AM The Clemens Buffaloes needed no pep talks at halftime, no win-one-for-the-Gipper speeches. All they needed was to remember to hang on to the ball and stop the Judson Rockets' big plays. They did both, in abundance, Friday night in rallying from a two-touchdown halftime deficit to win 26-21 in front of an overflow crowd of 8,031 at Judson Stadium. "We felt like we just needed to stop the mistakes on the big plays and come together as a team," said Clemens tackle Yaniv Barrett, who led a Buffs defense that gave up 1 yard of total offense and no first downs to the Rockets in the second half. The Buffs (4-1, 1-1 26-5A) scored all of their comeback points in the fourth quarter, using drives of 47, 52 and 45 yards to claim the victory in the Cibolo Creek showdown. Sophomore running back James Henry led the Clemens offense, rushing for 133 yards on 10 carries and two touchdowns, all in the second half. "That little sophomore did a heck of a job," Clemens coach Robert Lehnhoff said. "We lost some kids to grades this week, and we knew he had to step up." Henry had a 23-yard gain in the Buffs' first scoring drive of the fourth quarter, then gained 40 yards and scored from the 3 on the march that made it 21-20. A bad snap doomed the extra-point pick, but it didn't matter — Judson was going nowhere fast on offense and the Buffs were rolling. On the third play of Clemens' next possession, Henry sprinted 34 yards for the clincher (the pass for two failed). An interception ended Judson's last possession of the game. "Our defense just played awesome," Lehnhoff said. Indeed. Judson's three touchdowns in the second quarter came on three big plays. Take away Chancy Campbell's 67-yard touchdown run and Joel Waldon's scoring passes of 48 yards to Brian Robinson and 17 yards to Shawn Small and the Rockets had 103 yards of offense. Clemens lost three fumbles in the first half after driving 70 yards to take a 7-0 lead on a 39-yard run by Ben Tedtaotao and Matt Litt's extra point. "We kept fumbling the ball and putting our defense in a hole," Lehnhoff said. But then Henry, who also played some in the defensive secondary for the Buffs, took over the offense. "He's a heck of an athlete," Lehnhoff said. And it was a heck of a victory for the Buffs, who have come up short in close battles with the Rockets the past two years. "Anytime you beat a team like Judson, it's a big plus for your program," Lehnhoff said. Barnett, the 290-pound anchor of the Clemens defense, agreed. "This is the best, oh yes," he said. "We seem to have lost to them for years and years."

That Drew is a good kid, a good qb, who just made a bad decision like many of us have done before.

Nuggets sign Marcus! DENVER (AP) - The Denver Nuggets signed rookie free agent center Chris Marcus on Thursday, expressing confidence in his future despite injuries. Terms were not released. The 7-foot-1 Marcus averaged 14.1 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.71 blocks in 79 games at Western Kentucky. Foot injuries limited him to 19 games over his final two seasons. “Chris has experienced some setbacks with injuries, but he has worked very hard to earn this opportunity,” Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said. “We feel he has a very bright future.”

Cerebrus, Please move this thread to the NON-UNT sports board. It has degenerated into Cowboy vs. Texas or Cowboy fan vs. Jerry Jones. I realize that Toby Gowin is a Cowboy, but this thread belongs elsewhere. I keep reading it thinking there is NEWS about Don, but I find more needless COWBOY drivel.

Are you surprised. Look at our record over the last five years.

Never got the ball I didn't shoot team Donnel Hayden Jon Manning K. Dubose Don't forget Pat Nash, played around the time as Hayden. If he was in the building, he thought he was open.

Two wins, two shutouts!!!
