MGB: UNT's nonconference hoops slate out

[Censored by Laurie]

I've always preferred basketball over any other sport. I've had SMU bball tickets since I graduated in 2004. So I have sat through a lot of bad basketball over the years, but I've really enjoyed the success of the last two seasons. As for sanctions, we will likely lose one scholarship and LB might have to sit out the first few games this season. We'll be fine. There are no plans or indications that we'll go back to the pre-LB days moving forward.

 

you Stan's brother?

 

BMHoFer, in my opinion

I don't know how to say this without pissing people off, but UNT losses in hoops this upcoming year just get us closer to getting a new coach. I don't want Tony Benford anywhere near the Super Pit for 2016-2017 as our head coach. At this point, short of making the NCAA Tournament or NIT because we had a hugely successful season (like losing less than 7 games all season), he better not get another day as our coach even if we finish a few games over that pesky .500 mark that looks like a mountain right now, even with this piss-poor OOC schedule. And I don't think there's a chance in hell that will happen, either--he's a bad head coach, plain and simple. If he couldn't get to .500 last year, with an RV extension just begging to be given to him, then he won't get there this year, either. I truly believe that Rob Evans will be promoted to interim coach at some time this season, with a real possibility of auditioning for the job on a full time basis.

It really sucks not to care one bit.

I'm sure Rob Evans is a great guy and has had some success in the past as a head coach, but when/if we change coaches, I really hope we hire someone with a little more fire and energy.

Andrew can't be a real person with these real opinions, right? I just can't rap my mind around this. How can someone be so committed to downvotes... and ignorance...

I wondered the same thing until I saw him play in a GMG basketball game.

[Army of Dad]

huh..... 

Did you not play in this year's game?

[Andrew]

Did you not play in this year's game?

I did.... Or steady I tried... The Sunday before I suffered a high ankle sprain and torn tendons in my left ankle at LA fitness hooping. I just don't understand the comment. I will always be committed to UNT basketball though.

I thought your account could be a sock puppet until I was able to ascertain that you are a real person. I was just telling @Caw Caw that you are a real person.

Please no Rob Evans. Everybody associated with Benford should be shown the door as quickly as possible.

Maybe he is just so committed to the bit that he performs as his sock puppet persona while actually having a serious account?  Has anyone seen Andrew and Quoner in the same room at the same time?  We're talking Andy Kaufman level material here.

No, but you seem to have put some thought into this...

as MVP of that game, I can confirm this.

That would make me a 2 time MVP and a shoe in for the gomeangreen athletic hall of fame.

If UNT isn't at least 8-4 going into CUSA, Benford's string has to be cut.

Now the question is, what will be higher: Jarvis College's enrollment, or the attendance for the UNT/Jarvis game?

[GoMeanGreen1999]

Should be plenty of good seats available, no matter when you make it up to Denton. 

May want to bring a book or something, though. 

maybe the reason RV couldn't get the football Northern Arizona was because they were already headed here for a big showdown in basketball?
