I only watch the first round closely, because I love the Cinderellas.     So far, this is the most upset-free tournament I can ever remember.

MT was the only semi-major upset.  And, that is debatable as to even being an upset.

The games have been pretty close and interesting though.

I don't consider Middle Tennessee an upset. The selection committee screwed Minnesota with making a MTSU a 12-seed.

Well this busts one of my four brackets but it feels so good to see SMU lose. 

Yeah, Peruna didn't take the loss too well...

Dale Hanson has been pushing the Ponies and Jankovich all year. At the same time he covered the McCasland hire as if it was an obligation and was totally dismissive, then he whined about Middle Tennessee busting his bracket and seemed shocked. Just one more reason for me to be happy about this loss.

I think Dale has always felt guilty about helping to get SMU what they deserved years ago

Hate it for Jankovich, but they are a rival for recruits, etc.  So, maybe it helps that they went out early.

SMU looked pretty solid to me, with more than 7 ship athletes they might have gone a long way.   NT has pretty big hill to climb to just get competitive with the other three metroplex teams.   

I'm just as excited as everybody else about the hiring of McCasland, but not so optimistic about competing with the other programs. The last 5 years really set us back.

Ponyfans.com is a treasure trove of hilarity right now.

Some say "burn the program to the ground...we still suck" and others say "if we had beaten USC we were a Final Four team."   Hahahaha

Uh uh Louisville?? Hookers are the key! 

Not close to the overall sleeze of UK.  Kentucky almost got the death penalty in the 80's....and now has a coach that has gotten multiple schools put on proabtion

I like how Pete Carroll chimed in with a Fight On salute....so says the coach who left a trail of death, destruction and dead bodies in the side of the road after he left.  

Hate that FGCU played FSU first round.  The eagles are fun fun fun to watch and could have beaten many others.

This is already a great tournament

This was a really good game and a really good last few minutes.  Could have gone either way but I'm not sad at all that SMU lost. 

I'm sure Jankovich knows he needed a deep run to secure his job for next year.  I wouldn't be surprised of SMU fired him and hired a more proven coach.  He doesn't have the resume to survive many ones and done.

      A very good NIL message from Coach Morris

      Keeping it real. I like that he's honest with our players.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      On the surface, this seems bad for HS grads. Really good for P4s. If you are a HS senior, your chances of playing D1...baseball especially, out of HS is severely diminished. A D1 baseball coach has way better options now than taking a chance on a HS kid. The whole model has changed and it effects all sports. Think about football. The days of recruiting a kid and developing him are over. Saw in another thread about our incoming QB from Miami. Someone asked (and it's a good question): "if he was the back up, the Heisman candidate starter just left. Isn't it his job? Why would he leave?" Because that coach doesn't care about him. He's scouring the transfer portal looking for his next Cam Ward. (just like he did with the real Cam Ward). Chances are the Miami staff is looking for a bigger, better deal. If you're a D1 baseball or basketball coach, the talent pool of 21 year old, developed, experienced players just opened up. HS kids are going to get pushed out. The transfer portal is going to get crazier to. College players are going to be used, moved, basically traded... With NIL, players are going to stay in college longer too. Saw something the other day: Every SEC starting QB makes more $$ than Brock Purdy, a Superbowl starting 3rd year NFL QB.

      College football could become a career especially when you look at salaries for QB's. Basically the Michigan qb could retire after four years. So we are going to see more 24 and 25 year olds in college sports? Does this hurt the NFL?
