What was DFW sports and entertainment like? I know Cowboys had already won a couple SBs. I imagine there were not as many options like there are today.

I don't follow TT, except glossing over to see Mac's success, but I'm assuming he has 2-3 guys that can score unlike what he (and Hodge) ever had in Denton.

You're filing this under the folder "this season", while I'm talking about 3 losses to FAU.

Man, we are so close. I like CMJ's take: says just as much about FAU as it does us. Kudos to the Owls but man! I'd like the final shot to fall our way for once.

I knew this would come down to the end, and it doesn't surprise me at all that Davis hits that shot. Dude is a baller. We nearly sent it to OT, too. Amazing game. Love it when these two play, and I know we are this close to getting them. It'll happen.

PS: why does every single thing you @NorthTexasWeLove want to talk about - seemingly harmless discussions like shifting the budget away from football - turn into a pissing match? Any other poster would find ways to post these things with little problem, but if it involves you...COMBAT. Would it be accurate to say you're TRYING to be disruptive?

This isn't about them being perfect. This is about them - and the admin - being enough for me to believe that we want to figure this out, which is far more than I can say about RV or anyone previous. you and I have not tasted any "pudding" from anyone prior to RV. I welcome them to speak up if they want to.

We're done here. I've seen and read your expectations for hiring and firing. This is where we agree to disagree. If I'm wrong, some of our older members can chime in and tell me how awful they've been. They have far more perspective than you or I.

not really. Any accidental downvote can be immediately fixed/changed. If they're there, someone decided on it.

Broadcasting was moved over years ago, now currently on 95.3 The Ranch and streamed on the Varsity App/Leerfield network. Not sure it's on KNTU at all anymore?

I thought we were talking about investing towards long term success of a football program. Finding a hire that will contend for championships nearly every year. How did this get twisted?

My 0.02: bad admin, bad hires, people that didn't care. All of that was relevant until the end of the RV era. WB and Jared have given me hope that we want to figure this out.

And how many times the last 7 years have 38K people attended a MBB game? I think the postseason MBB success is just barely starting to move the national needle, but one decent football season brought more people to watch one football game at the cotton bowl than how many MBB games combined? You're not even the slightest bit curious what might happen for football if we string together 3-5 years of ships and bowl wins?

SL was famous for shitting the bed in important games. I will always wonder what our base would look like if we didn't stab them in the heart every chance we get, over the course of 5 years. You will never convince me that it isn't worth trying. Doesn't have to be national. Build from the region/conference first.

38K people were in attendance for that game.

My guess: a lot of that disdain was early, when he had a small handful of games that were less than 10 points. When he isn't producing consistently, and we didn't need him when Jones/Bugs were out, it was a lot easier to see the faults.

For those of us that were not around Denton yet, can you tell us about them?

Down votes can be very random/irrational. One should never read into them.

Edwards makes me happy and drives me mad. Both of them very often in the same game.

Chris Jones, Jordan Williams. And, a Mean Green alumn who is/was under appreciated: Roger Franklin

If it gets the students amped, embrace it! Unlike SMU, we are trying to build a fanbase.

Yes, only 10 teams in softball. Not sure about the vote.

Why are y'all engaging with this awful troll? Even under the umbrella of "friendly sports banter" this is bad entertainment.

How was he not a good college player? He broke records in blocks (they made a montage video, highlighting every block in the tournament). He should have been conference DPOTY. He probably would have gotten all-conference honors as a sophomore if the team wasn't such a catastrophe. Benford was SO bad, even Mitchell's abilities couldn't offset that black hole of awful basketball that he (Benford) brought to the table.
