This is not what I was expecting... but it is not shocking. I wonder if Graham approached them, or vice-versa. Not sure why he would want to leave Pitt in a weak big east to go Pac 12. Honestly, I'd be happier with Jones if I were an ASU fan. What an odd choice.

And he achieved this by taking the HC job at ARSt.?

AR is home for Malzahn. I don't think he'd leave unless the Razorbacks came calling... look at the Vandy offer. If it were about money/prestige, he'd be building Vandy into an SEC contender. Very Nice Hire for ARSt. The belt is getting better.

2.49 players out of every 1000 players in the NFL are from Louisiana? Out of every 1000?? Even if every state represented that well, you would only have 124 players. So 124 players out of every 1000 are from the United States? I knew there were some Samoans out there, but I didn't know there were THAT many.

18 under par with at least 3 Eagles.

This is all well and good, but WHERE's THE BEE... Oh.... Welcome aboard Sam!

Oh! You've actually been to Mexi-co?!?

Are you saying Romo is a diamond surrounded by poo-poo?

The walls of the Super Pit would crumble if this series of events took place. Eardrums would burst. Mass hysteria...and 2pts for the Mean Green (maybe a +1 because some poor schlub fouled T-Mitch in vain).

When you have a guy like ArkStFan leading the charge for Canales, then I'm sure the fanbase will jump on board... at least the message board fanatics like us will.

I'll Try! For 12/18 VS Jackson St. (and maybe even 12/20 VS Grambling): PG - C. Jones SG - A. Williams Swing - J. Williams PF - J. Holmen C - K. Hogans I anticipate lots of minutes coming off the bench for Mitchell at PF and some swing. I feel sorry for whoever has to defend him at the swingman spot... Keep in mind, he can't even practice (we talkin 'bout practice?) with the team until 12/18. **Bold Prediction** During this game (or 2 games), Jordan Williams goes ballistic and cements himself into the starting lineup. For 12/22 VS LSU: PG - C. Jones SG - A. Williams Swing - J. Williams PF - T. Mitchell C - K. Hogans With lots of Holmen to spell Jordan, and some Niko to spell Mitchell (along with sliding Holmen back PF as well to get Jordan back on the floor or Mitchell playing some swingman). It's crazy how deep we become simply by adding the best player in the conference. Having Holmen off the bench will be awesome. I don't think we'll see much of Hogans and Edwards on the floor at the same time anymore (unless Mitchell is in foul trouble).

SAMSONITE! I was way off...

Rivals lists him as a LB? Mark Lewis - Rivals

Defense was not an issue in this game. Harassing man defense held them to 50 points. They were turning the ball over like crazy and putting up some bad shots. Tucker is a baller. Weren't we in on him? Offense was the issue for this game (as well as most others so far). Its almost like there's a lid on the hoop at times. Our guys are getting good looks, but shots are not falling unless they're coming out of the cool hand of Mr. Jones. I'm still worried about J Williams. I want to see more out of him. He looks timid out there at times and his shot selection was not good in this game. His steal/Fast Break dunk was definitely the most exciting play though. The Super Pit was rowdy after that... Walton has to start hitting his 3's at some point right? I know he can. Niko is a very nice sparkplug off the bench. I wouldn't mind seeing him get more minutes, but I don't think I would start him over Holmen... yet. That last charge that Ked took was the crux of the game. Hustle-wise, the Mean Green were on a different plane Sat. Particularly on the offensive boards. So excited about Tony Mitchell Day! I'm hoping his addition breaks that "lid" off the basket and the Mean Green score in bunches for the remainder of the year while keeping up that insane defensive pressure.

I don't think Mark Followill has any extra time to do UNT games during the Mavs season. So bring him in for football? Do you move Dunham over to color commentary after calling the games for years? It's nice to have Hank there commenting. As for Hank, I bet he calls the basketball games because he wants to, not because it is a cost-saving maneuver. He's the Asst. AD. He can do what he wants.

Yes. Yes you did. Welcome to the world of hip hop!

I don't think there's anything you can do that hasn't already been done. Just show up, maybe grab some popcorn and a soda, and enjoy the show.

OMG R U 4 Rlz? L8r

Exactly. Do you think Butler would even be INCLUDED in a BCS type scenario for college B-ball? Imagine, the polls say OHSt. & Kansas are the best teams at the end of the year. They play each other for the national championship while several other high ranking AQ schools get paired up in 4 other meaningless games with good teams. Forget a team like UConn who finished 9th in their own conference with a .500 record! Make the standards incredibly hard for a Non-AQ team like Butler! Do you think March Madness would be anywhere near as cool? A Resounding No.

Bill Snyder's situation is in no way comparable to coach McCarney's. Bill Snyder built KState from the ground up a long time ago (hired when he was 50), became a legend, and has the stadium named after him. He retired for a while and KState football went in the toilet until they begged him to come back. Coach McCarney is a good coach, and I'm glad he's here... a coup if you ask me... but he's not Bill Snyder (or he would still be at IASt.). When looking at prospective HC's, you have to factor in age, and McCarney is no spring chicken. Does that deter a program like COSt. from throwing gobs of money at McCarney? I dunno. Does it deter McCarney from taking that opportunity? Probably not.

I thought we paid him for a service? His contract with UNT was fullfilled when he supplied a report to Rick V. and he now has no obligation to us.

This thread is Poi-sooonnnn.

If the ladies win this game, show well at Texas (if not win?), and don't crap the bed during SBC play, we may have a tough time keeping Aston around. I'm sure some underachieving AQ schools will have their eyes on UNT women's basketball.

Yeah, I bet Todd Graham would love to come back to the DFW!

Although you may be right, they would never live down hiring CU's "sloppy seconds". They would probably rather hire Todd Dodge than Dan Hawkins or any other fired CU coach. This ain't intramurals brother!
