  1. I wonder if "Bowen is an idiot" because he left? Kinda like the UNT "quitter" meme?
  2. "Zero tolerance" huh? Sounds like Taggart and WKU are pulling a page out of the PSU playbook on punishment.
  3. Texas Tech is showing 1 Senior and 3 Jr transfers on their roster (2 Juco guys and one from York College). The only holdovers from last year's game are Jaye Crockett (who I recall had a great game against us) and Javarez Willis who I believe we were close to signing before he went to a prep school and signed with Tech (Tasty/NT03/Cooley/et al. correct me if I'm wrong). It looks like Gillespie is going to let them run. I'm not sure if Johnny will play that style with him, but if he does, this game could turn into a barn-burner. Part of me would almost like to see this happen just because I'd love to see what Chris Jones and Trey Norris can do when the tempo is super fast. Also, I think Jordan would just kill in an uptempo game. There is SO MUCH YOUTH in this game that it's really impossible to tell what's going to happen... What do you guys think? I think the Franklin effect will loom large and UNT gets this win on the road. Tech has played some wild, high-scoring games so far this year, but they haven't seen a defense like this yet.
  4. The next 3 games for Houston are huge. Their SOS should improve alot, and if they can continue to pound teams like they have the past few weeks, they will be up in the BCS top 8 and get that BCS bowl they deserve. Pound SMU, pound Tulsa, and pound ranked USM in the conference championship game, and maybe, just maybe, they get a shot at the MNC.
  5. I really like Hamilton, but if Dunbar is anywhere near ready to play, you gotta start him. Remember all the talk during this summer between Dunbar and Rainey? Rainey insinnuating he is the better back, but Dunbar flat-out saying he is the better back? Well, this would be the week for him to prove it (again), and I bet he will.
  6. I bet it's because he supposedly has an extra ligament in his knee that helps him jump higher.
  7. One word to describe Tyler: Cerebral. His basketball IQ is just off the charts.
  8. Not sure who La Grange even is... but this score, coupled with the Tech score is concerning.
  9. "North Texas is looking to rebound from a difficult 5-25 season last year under Aston" Ummm...
  10. Wow! I didn't think losing Adams would hurt THIS bad?! Someone who knows a little more than me, please answer: Obviously, little defense was played, but what happened here? Is Troy this good? Is Tech this bad?
  11. I find it amusing that Roger Franklin Day falls on Veterans Day this year... We should all pause to thank our veterans like Kenny Lyons, Chris Davis & Josh White who gave their all for this fine basketball program.
  12. This is the first of a huge 4 holiday stretch. When does the Roger Franklin music start playing on 103.7?
  13. I would love to go to Hawaii, but will probably never go... unless I could squeeze in a UNT game while there.
  14. I wouldn't mind having that 5* kid from England, Aston Martin.
  15. UNT is coming off a bye week. 2 weeks to focus on this Troy team. Thompson is expected to be back, and Jeremy Phillips should be ready to step back in, which will be helpful with the loss of Z. Orr. Troy is really having a tough year. They're at home and of course, UNT is their homecoming game. They are still the defending conference champions and are always dangerous. Give me UNT in a squeaker: UNT - 27 Troy - 24
  16. Good idea, but here are some questions for you... Who would you like to replace these teams with? Do you like home non-conference games, or would you prefer almost all non-conference games to be on the road? With this young roster, are you ready to see 15+ losses if we remove these "weak" teams (assuming you want to replace them with "strong" teams)? Have you been to a UNT/UTA game or UNT/SHSU game?
  17. I think you would make a great ponzi schemer.
  18. - Win by: 19 - Stand Out: Alzee Williams - Most Points: Jacob Holmen - Biggest Dunk: Alonzo Edwards - Pick to Click: Jacob Holmen - Most exciting play: Alzee steal and Alley-oop to Edwards.
  19. I'm not proud of it now, but I would intentionally shoot the dog due to my duck hunting frustrations.
  20. I guess we already have? John Shorter is from LH.
  21. I wonder if he would be like me: I think my first reaction would be to go ballistic right then and there. But, I would have to calm myself down, and from there, who knows... but I just don't think I could just walk away from that scene. Ever.
  22. This was published after his first autobiographical work: "Touched by Blind Tom Wiggins". A lovely story about his love for the piano.
