The Oklahoma State win was pretty sweet too....

 

So you are telling me we scored 43 points last night against tech and 92 points 6 years ago? And this is apparently the most talented team ever?

 

Please fire Benford, took a top 25 team with Mitchell and turned it into this garbage that can barley beat a D3 team

And look at how big that crowd was.

It was pretty awesome. I think the attendance was over 7k and the students pretty much filled up the student section in the lower bowl and were pretty deep into the upper bowl that game.

First of all, who is Drexel ?  Where are they from ?  Who thinks scheduling a team that at least some people ( me) have never heard of, on the Sunday before Thanksgiving with a pro football game going on, is a good idea ?  It's almost like fans are being dared to come to this game. 

Extra points for anyone that can name the city and mascot of Drexel without looking it up.

 

Beat Drexel (never thought I'd say that)

Drexel Dragons....Philadelphia.

 

 

If you were a college basketball fan of the last....25 years or so, you'd know who they were.  They were one of the mid-major teams thought to be most jobbed of an NCAA tournament bid a few years ago (ended up making it deep into the NIT).  When I was in High School in the 90's, they made the NCAA tourney a few times, and even won a round.

UNT- 92

Texas Tech- 83

 

Just shows you how much the program has fallen off..... Very sad

 

Benford needs to go. I won't attend another game until he's gone.

This remains the best live sports event I have ever attended in Denton for a UNT game, in any sport.

Josh White went off in that game, with the loudest roar I have ever heard in the Super Pit when he hit the three that basically clinched the game in OT. Made me realize how great the acoustics really are in the old Pit...

And today, if you combined the entire crowd noise of every single game played in the Pit for this upcoming season, as well as those of the previous 4 years, it still couldn't compare to that one moment in OT against Tech. A real team, a real coach, against a real opponent, with real attendance...that's how far we have fallen. Thanks RV.

Josh and Odufuwa were so good in that game.  I also seem to remember that DJ and Tristan had huge moments (wasn't it Tristan that hit the clinching trey in OT?).

 

 

EDIT:  It was Josh...put us up 8 in OT.

The new AD needs to watch these videos to see how big the dropoff has been since Benford. I trust that he won't renew Benford's contract, but still. Those two videos make me so sad that I won't be able to be part of a raucous student section like that.

I haven't seen a game in the Pit since Benford was hired* and I used to make at least 4 games a year (always bought that mini-4 pack that they sold).  It is way past time for a change.  

*I attended the Midnight Madness (or whatever we called it) his first year, but then we got drubbed by Creighton and beat by Alabama-Huntsville before I had a chance to make a game.  Watching them on TV and seeing the total destruction of a preseason top 25 team was more than I could handle.  People also forget that he suspended nearly every member of that team at one time or another during that disastrous first campaign.  Above all else, that's what put it over the top for me.  Guys who had been here for years, 5th year seniors, getting suspended multiple times was just ludicrous.  I still think the guy must have connections that we were(possibly still are) afraid of upsetting.  There's no other explanation that makes sense for keeping him installed as HC.

8 games?

I said 4-5 games. Through 4 home games, we are at 5,781 reported attendance.

The DISD game tomorrow might be best attended game all season and will quite easily push us over the 7,105. Probably would do it for a true 'butts in seats' attendance as well.

Like really who can be opposed to this?

 

If anyone can tell me Benford has done a good job, please let me know what he has done 

Who are you arguing with? What do you think is happening?

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Maybe we'll end up as Fenway Bowl foes in the future like y'all and BC did.

      DRC: UNT hires new volleyball coach

      Don't know what changed but after a seven-game losing streak, the ladies take down Wichita State and Rice at home in one weekend to clinch a spot in the conference tournament, where they will take on Rice again. Rice was 13-2 in conference coming into the game and Wichita, the tournament host, was also Top 4 in the league.

      UNT Athletics | UNT Board of Regents Approves Athletic Center Phase 1 Design

      DENTON, Texas – UNT’s Board of Regents has approved the completion of design work for phase one of the Athletics Center expansion, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Monday. "As we face new challenges ahead, we're excited to move swiftly with Phase 1, taking full advantage of the momentum we've built and the resources at our disposal in an ever-evolving construction market,” Mosley said. “I am deeply grateful for the many individuals who have stepped up to support this effort, ensuring that we continue to provide the best possible experience for the young men and women in our programs. The student-athlete experience, capital investments, and NIL opportunities are all integral parts of the puzzle we’re working to solve every day. Our dedicated Mean Green donors and alumni continue to rise to the occasion, making a profound impact. I encourage everyone to identify the area they're passionate about and join us in this exciting era for UNT Athletics!" More than $4.4 million from 38 UNT supporters has been committed toward the anticipated $10 million fundraising goal needed to complete phase one of the Athletics Center expansion. Total cost of the project will be based on the price of materials at the time of construction. The Athletics Center expansion will be completed in two phases with phase one focusing on space for strength and conditioning. The remodel will expand that area of emphasis from its current 6,180 square feet to more than 20,000 – more than three times its original size. Phase one will include a 50-yard plyometric turf, 16 high performance dual-sided combo racks, 4,000-square-foot of open floor, 1,000-square-foot mezzanine of cardio, and a 1,2550 square foot nutrition site. Expanding this space will enhance UNT Athletics' competitive edge by providing student-athletes with a premier environment to train, strengthening their physical abilities, mental toughness, and well-being. This area will also promote increase team building and cohesion, allowing our student-athletes to foster a sense of team unity and camaraderie. Currently, UNT Athletics has the second-smallest weight room in the American Athletic Conference. Phase two of the expansion project will include improvements to sports medicine, the football locker room as well as additions of a new academic support center for all student-athletes and additional premium seating for DATCU Stadium. Phase 2 would follow the completion of Phase 1 and by way of a successful Phase 2 campaign. The UNT Athletic Center was originally opened in 2005 and is home to administrative offices, football coaches' offices, football locker room and equipment room, but it is truly the home to all Mean Green athletics including sports medicine and rehab in addition to strength and conditioning. We encourage individuals interested in learning how to support UNT Athletics to contact the Mean Green Scholarship Fund staff at MGSF@unt.edu or by visiting MeanGreenScholarshipFund.com. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact and helps advance our mission toBuild Champions and Prepare Leaders. For more information visit: www.MeanGreenSports.com/ACExpansion
