UNT86

Another bright side... He only has one year left to play, so we don't have to worry about him hitting the portal next year.

Probably MLK related.

Toughest team wins.

And the winter in Lubbock. However, the area between the Pit and the tennis courts has to be colder than both. Absolutely the coldest spot in Denton.

So far, teams try to run with us. After a while though, you see them start to fatigue. Then the shots miss and the layups for us begin. We roll players like we're a hockey team. Also to note, Brackens has moved up the depth chart. She us going in earlier and playing more minutes. She is an extremely talented player. If she can improve from 45% at the free throw line, she will be one of the best we've had.

Is this a guy Grant inherited or brought in?

When you are up by 20, no need to push it. We have good depth. We still have a long way to go.

All of this because someone in maintenance doesn't own a calendar.

It won't be significantly better when FSU and Clemson leave. And you would have to have your head buried way up a horse's a** not to see this coming.

Montana State is better than their record indicates. Still, I thought we would be able to beat them. Just keep that "next play"/"next game" attitude. All is well.

There is something going on behind the scenes with this young man. He has too much talent to not get on the field much for LSU. Hopefully he can get closer to home and figure it out. If he does, this is a homerun for us. I don't mind giving a kid a chance as long as he isn't a cancer to the team. That LSU was willing to let him come back tells me that he is not. I love that we are getting this level of transfer, even if he comes with a question mark.

I'm sure that's what they told him when they poached him. Come here. You can be a backup, play in half the games, catch a couple, and run some scout team. What do you say? Good luck to him, but don't come back.

Still, not the biggest problem.

He was not the problem at FIU. The problem at FIU was a Star safety that didn't tackle anyone. Our defense lost that game. Stone will be fine as a QB, but we still need more talent and depth at the position.

Looks like we have a D2 TE coming from Central Oklahoma, Oscar Hammond

Coming out of HS had offers from Texas and Notre Dame. These are the portal transfers we should be targeting. P5 offers! Now do defense.

Looks like RB Zach Evans is transferring to UNT from Minnesota. He is originally from Rockwall Heath. He had 230 yards on 52 carries last year.

Some observations 1) Turnovers don't seem to concern Coach B. He wants to continue put pressure on the opposition and that is just part of it. Alway a "next play" attitude. 2) He plays the same style up 20 or down 15. This is who we are. We run and run and run. Constant pressure and tempo. 3) Everyone has a role and a way to contribute. He plays 12 every game. 4) Getting the other team in foul trouble is part of the strategy. Make them play people significant minutes that they never intended to play. 5) Free throws are part of the game plan, and we make lots of them.

La Tech is right behind them. Once really good G5 teams.

This looks just like Mason Fine's senior season. We can score some, but we cannot stop anyone. I expect a similar result.

We have them in Lubbock next year.

I would take them ANY day over SMU. Please let this happen. Our conference will be stronger for the exchange.

As a coach, I would never expect this to be called. It is normal and part of any game. The only exception would be if it was unnecessary roughness or malicious. This did not appear to be either. As an official, I would not call this unless it was clear to both players that the ball had long been gone. From this video, these are just two guys in the trenches. Nothing to see here. Next play. I would not call anything here or expect anything to be called.

That offer of $20 million was for a conference that included Washington and Oregon. Without those two, that offer will drop significantly. Few out west will tune in to Stanford vs SMU instead of Washington, Oregon, UCLA, or USC vs any other Big 10 opponent. Stanford and Cal will not drive anything, nor will SMU and Rice. I would bet any new conference including Stanford and Cal would net at most $10 million since they marquee matchups would be gone. Is the difference between $7 million in the AAC and $10 million they might get be enough to incur the extra travel for your non-revenue sports? I'll pass.

None of them are going to the ACC. If they had that kind of value, they would have been invited long ago by someone else. Cal and Stanford aren't going either. Same song. If they had that kind of value, they would have been invited to the Big 10 or have been offered a better deal.
