Again...who is the silent majority? You? No one else seems to think so, so I need receipts. Otherwise it is not a "silent majority" -- it's a majority of one individual...which as you said doesn't make sense. Point 2...when you said you liked the way you remembered the story and wouldn't really look it up, to me that was the cowards way out. You only half heartedly admitted anything. Actually it seemed like you were putting your fingers in your ears and would go on believing the story as you wanted to remember it.

The "silent majority" of our fanbase probably thinks Josh White is a better player than Edwards. You my young friend are not the silent majority. You can think Edwards is the best player in recent UNT history. Hell, you might believe he's the best there has ever been here given you've been around for about half an hour. Of course you've also proven to be wrong nearly as frequently as Andrew. Mandela didn't die in prison, and it's about time you let some other misconceptions go too.

The silent majority would say you're being premature. If you wanna say the feats of Hamlet and Perry don't matter because nobody saw them or whatever it is you're implying - then what Edwards has done REALLY doesn't matter. Listen you can't even admit you were wrong about what year Duke won a National Title or one of their players went there, so I don't expect a great deal of humility from your arguments. Doesn't mean you're right very often though.

Listen, I like Edwards, but until he has heroics similar to Hamlet in the NCAA or Perry in the NIT, it's absurd to say he's better than those guys. He MAY be, but he hasn't proved it.

Not sure I ever implied otherwise?

I'm not saying it happens consistently...just that's all he needs to produce IMHO.

Stone doesn't need to score much. If he consistently got about 4-5 points a game, that's all I want. His defense is decent and he does a lot of the little things like diving for loose balls and such. We had seemed to be finding our groove before this 5 of 7 losing stretch (or whatever it is now). Some of the losses are because we are playing the top of the league and I have no doubt we'd have lost more than one of these. But I doubt we'd have lost all five with a healthy roster. We're not that far from the top, but we're far enough.

I may have tried driving to the basket and played the foul game. SMU had just missed three in a row...maybe they miss another and you get the ball back with five seconds or so.

SMU 71 ---------- NT 68 Final

SMU 67 ---------- NT 63 2:47 to go We're in trouble now. Need to get to the line.

NT 63 ---------- SMU 62 3:41 to go We're holding on for dear life.

NT 60 ---------- SMU 56 7:58 to go Hopefully we're not wearing down, but it does feel like we might be getting tired out there.

NT 57 ---------- SMU 48 11:54 to go Buggs and Allen really stepping up.

NT 50 ---------- SMU 46 13:42 to go Mustangs on a 7-0 run.

NT 46 ---------- SMU 39 16:00 to go Increasing the lead, but I do not like us playing this fast paced scrambling style. Not our game.

Tulsa up a bucket on UAB at the half.

NT 34 ---------- SMU 30 Halftime Nice half for the good guys.

NT 29 ---------- SMU 27 3:59 to go Mustangs making a push. This timeout came at a great time for us.

NT 29 ---------- SMU 20 7:19 to go Getting production from just about everyone. As I said earlier, we seem to be grabbing most of the big rebounds too.

NT 21 ---------- SMU 14 10:50 to go Both squads hitting big time shots right now. Fun game so far.

NT 15 ---------- SMU 8 12:59 to go Scott playing fantastic early. We're cleaning up on the glass so far.

South Florida may be a no name, but they are currently alone in first!

LOL, not upset. I just tend to be a stickler on facts. Even my family gives me a hard time for pettifogging.

Fine, but you're also 100% wrong.
