Blakely sounds like a pretty strong pickup!

Definitely not what I had in mind... Was it communicated out anywhere at one time that we WOULD be able to go into the stadium, or did I just assume I would get to go into the stadium to pick? I'll still be there though. I think the parking selection will be worth the trip itself.

Weird. Rivals shows UALR as Dillard's only offer. Wonder why?

I'll be at the Denton stop!

Times have changed indeed sir! Can you imagine the second one establishing itself as a tradition and being passed down from generation to generation, being the first cheer in the new stadium with 30,000 fans screaming "...Bugs Bunny, Bugs Bunnny. Rah, Rah, Rah!"

Uh, yes! Did you see who the Cowboys drafted? Puh-lease! Go Mavericks! MFFL, or at least MFFWhenWinning! [stereotypical DFW Sports Fan'd]

The Mean Green family grows! Congrats to ForeverEagle and UNTGirl04!

I'm so on board with this. Non-Stop Biggie hits playing while I'm standing at the waterless urinals.

This is so true, and that's why a very harsh penalty (I would have suspended for the season) has to come down. There needs to be some kind of mental check before these guys goon around like hockey players. If a 10 game suspension is enough for this to not happen anymore, then great! If not, the next time it happens, it needs to be longer.

What's nice is that the uniform talk has been contained in this 1 thread for the most part.

I think I can get behind either one. I'll trust the AD branding folks to make the right decision. There's alot of marketing tactics to take into account and I never set foot in the business building, so I don't have a clue what goes into it. I'll lean towards NORTH TEXAS though over UNT.

What did you expect from the Sun Belch? I can tell you this: Conference USA would not have let this happen. Maybe we should investigate moving to that conference.

It's been rumored that you guys love money and stuff? I believe 5k (rather than <1K) at the gate would be pretty good enticement to play a game against lil' ol' UNT. Ask your A.D. Now, is that $ worth more than the black eye you are sure to take with the game? Maybe not. I thought we did that? A winning basketball program. Dont you want to try and beat a winner? That way, maybe SMU could be a winner too! Oh, now you're just pandering... Get back to breaking down local b-ball talent. That's what you're good at.

Oops! Good catch... I meant Midwestern State.

I hope you've seen our incoming class. If not, let me highlight... Please keep in mind, these guys (except Forrest) went against some of the best players in the state night-in and night-out. Jordan Williams: PPG-29.7 RPG-9.5 (This is the kind of guy we're after) Chris Jones: PPG-16.6 RPG-4.8 APG-6.9 (ok. Chris didn't have 8 rpg, but he's a PG) Trey Norris: PPG-16.4 RPG-1.1 APG-3.7 (another PG) Forrest Robinson: PPG-21.4 RPG-9.2 (Forrest is your closest comparison. This guy would run circles around the two you mentioned). For comparison's sake, I included our JUCO and transfers' H.S. stats: *Brandon Walton: I cant find his H.S. stats *Tony Mitchell: PPG-20.5 RPG-13.2 (please) *Roger Franklin: PPG-32.5 RPG-7.3 (This guy averaged 20 more ppg at DUNCANVILLE than the two you mentioned) These guys are probably really good in 9-3A, but they don't have any offers from anyone and dont belong in the 31st ranked recruiting class in the NCAA.

Are you serious, or are you just a huge 9-3A fan? This is the second player from that district you have mentioned as someone that would top your wish list for the final basketball scholarship. These guys would be lucky to walk-on at Northwestern State in Wichita Falls, let alone take up one of our valuable schollies.

...or not hard enough?

I'm also leaning towards Miller, but would love to have a scoring SG to backfill McGhee. We don't really have that guy right now, unless JJ plans to use JWilliams there, or Alzee may move over there full time?

I certainly don't have love for Javier... racist! I don't know if we were really a player in the Jarion sweepstakes, but I think we'll be OK that he passed on us. I'm NOT saying that we "didn't need/want him anyway", but I AM saying that Ben Dillard is looking better and better (would really rather have a JUCO guy come in and contribute early though). Any word on Ben?

There's really only one way to settle this: Well, maybe there's another way... forget a DFW tournament, lets see a statewide tournament (after the fall semester is completed please).

This philosophy worked well for Mr. Newton!

Top 5 basketball states & their top 5 programs TEXAS 1. Texas: Rick Barnes has guided the Longhorns to a school-record 13 consecutive NCAA tournaments. 2. Baylor: The Bears went from the cusp of the “death penalty” to the Elite Eight in less than a decade. Next season’s team should be Scott Drew’s best. 3. Texas A&M: First Billy Gillispie and now Mark Turgeon. Someone in College Station has an eye for coaches. 4. UTEP: Tim Floyd will keep the Miners where they’ve been for years now – near the top of the C-USA standings. 5. Texas Tech: It won’t be long until the Red Raiders are back in the NCAA tournament. Hmmm. #5 is intriguing. Perception is reality? The score says no.
