Yes, we could've played and probably beated A&M a few years ago. But they're actually playing quite well right now(they barely beat Army, true...but they also beat Mizzou and Oklahoma State in recent weeks). I wouldn't be surprised if they beat a Sooner team minus Peterson. Not at all.

Apparenty sunbeltsports.org is gonna have the games available for 10 bucks. Anyone gonna watch?

I'm pretty sure Bryan316 is IN Talons.

Unless ESPN did a piss poor job of showing the people, I can not believe there were 13K and change there. Most of the crowd shots I saw reminded me of the NMSU game in 2000.

Not that we were any good at the time, but I remember us playing on a Halloween night around 1999, and the crowd being extremely sparse. That is just not a good night to play period, especially when you don't have to(a Tuesday night).

Yeah, the no conference affiliation is something Mom never completely forgave Fry for. How close were we to a sellout when DePaul came calling? That was near the end of Ray Meyer's career and he was a living legend by that point. The story I was told was he got some sort of standing ovation from the SuperPit crowd, and though Blakely understood, he was not happy about it. At all.

Hey, I'm just repeating what my folks told me(they were in school in the mid to late 70's). I'm sure their memories may have been generous thru the years, but I do know they have told me other stories that have been verified by other sources. In other words, they could very well be wrong, but I had no reason to think they were lying to me. Hell Mom was the basketball beat writer for the Daily for around 6 months. She actually talked to Blakely within minutes after he found out that neither the NCAA or NIT invited us. BTW - Mom went into labor with my brother at the SMU basketball game in January of 1977 and didn't leave till halftime, so you can't say she wasn't dedicated.

Well, I wouldn't know - seeing as how I haven't been to a game since 2001. Hard to fly in from Los Angeles, ya know? But that sounds disheartening.

As a Talon alum - I too would like to know that. Though I must say I went to more than a few games in my years where the Talon section would be 5 or less.

Looking thru those stats from the Indy Star, many schools seem to lose money on football too.

Agreed if we started winning consistently the SuperPit could be pretty full most nights. Even against Sunbelt competition. In those glory years of Hayden Fry they had a hard time filling Fouts, but the Colesium was nearly full all the time(though I think they only actually sold it out twice against Depaul and SMU) because Blakely's teams WON.

The MeanGreen club supports all of our athletes, not just the football team. Get fed up with the FB team, don't buy season tickets. But the athletes need all the support they can get from those that can afford it.

And they won again tonight. A great season for the Ladies.

I would say we should discuss it in the basketball forum.

I would hope that you came to NT for the academics anyways. I mean folowing sports is fun and all, but seriously.

I'm liking Miike Shultz....can we vote?

I'll listen to every game. I'm obviously a glutton for punishment. Then again I went to almost every game while Trilli was coach too.

I also think the Blue Raiders are the class of the league.

They have had a really great season this year. Anyone see them play tonight?

Yeah, the road in the conference tournament is harder, but I still think we have a decent shot.

Good luck Adrian!

Wrong again....Dickey won a title by his 5th season. Hell as pathetic is it was we almost had a share of the Big West title his 1st year at 3-8. And we would've won the tiebreaker, and probably gone bowling! Jones has already been here since 2001-2002(so 5 full seasons) without sniffing anything.

No, slightly different situation. At least Dickey has won something. Four conference titles in the Sunbelt may not seem like much, but it's something(plus the one NOB win). Jones hasn't won anything. Not even a division title. We haven't even made the finals of the conference tournament once.

Terrific. When you cancel your GMC memberships, you're abandoning our other sports like soccer, track, basketball, etc. Go ahead and don't buy FB season tickets. If anything, lets say there are around 800 GMC members give or take. If they all reneew their memberships but 600 refuse to buy season tickets for football that would send just as clear a message than quitting altogether. And you'll still be helping out.... Please don't do that to the other sports.

JJ needs to win 20 games and make the final of the SB conference tournament, or he needs to go(provided we don't have tons of injuries or something). Prferably we'll goto the NCAA or NIT to top the year off.
