🐇 🐇 🐇 Chasing Rabbits (again)

Seems our basketball program social standing is, uh, climbing? 
Almost like the guy who thought Fred’s Cafe off FW’s W. 7’th street was “the place” until one day one of the Bass brother’s nieces invited him to start partying with her at the Petroleum Club. 🎩🍷

Riches To Rags To Riches? 
 It’s amazing what winning can do for a program & is why I guess some schools who used to be at the P5 level are so frustrated at being G5 now.

😱 Many of us hated the day the SWC imploded. I had acquaintances from schools who did not get to stay in the P5 who I thought might have to be put on suicide watch.😳 (Well, maybe  not quite that bad); but nevertheless  it was a bad day for many of us the day the SWC died.  (It was just a major kick in the jewels for a huge Texas tradition). So “he who has money rules” the roost.
 

Actually, many used-to-be P5’s would get a taste of how it was for many other schools who were relegated to NCAA D1-AA in the late 1970’s. How that move made those schools feel like 2’nd class citizens with no viable trail to ever move back up.  Then how many good & previously faithful fans from all those newly classified  1-AA schools jumped off the bandwagons & never came back. 
All this happening in the NCAA because of—-M-O-N-E-Y.  Look what’ that’s done to America’s politicians (both sides) & how they’ll sacrifice millions of well-being U.S. citizens futures to get what they want & crave?

If we’re a headliner of the MTE then we’ll probably host some low majors as part of it as well.

Grant being Grant. He will build his new team to be ready for the conference and the CUSA tournament. Not that he does not want to win OOC games be he realizes CUSA is a one-bid conference.

Alabama, losing in the S16, is the only team that made it further than us in the NCAA.

Looking forward to cleaning house of these scrubs.  Bunch of nobodies.

Multi-Team Event.

 

You’re welcome.

And for reference, we typically participate in MTEs like we did in fall 2019 with the Jamaica Classic. We hosted Eastern Michigan and NC A&T in Denton, then went to Jamaica to play the other headliners like Rhode Island and Utah State. Would imagine this will be something similar.

I have never heard of a preseason/nonconference tournament referred to as a Multi-Team Event before.

Thursday's announcement is headlined by the ESPN Events Invitational, which will take place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Kissimmee, Florida, during ESPN's Feast Week in late November. Its field is led by preseason top-10 teams Alabama and Kansas, along with potential top-25 team Belmont. Drake, Iona and North Texas -- all NCAA tournament teams last season -- will also play in the event.

This might come a bit too early for this new team. However if you want too have any shot at all at getting an at large, then this is the kind of tournament you gotta play. If you can get 2 wins against good teams that people know there, and then have a good conference regular season you might have a shot without winning the conference. But you definitely don't if you do not (get to) play this kind of tournament.

      Do I need to go into another rant about how we didn't start our endowment fund until 1974 or 75. It was AGAINST OUR CULTURE TO RAISE OUTSIDE MONIES. When we finally caught on, we were 84 years behind just about everyone else. BUT most of the administrators still didn't want North Texas to change. Around the time that "Jitter Nolan" and Hayden Fry arrived we were the complete opposite of SMU. They loved their money, and we loved our bureaucracy. And that is mostly still true today. SMU resents that they were punished for what just about all the other SWC schools were doing. And that is somewhat valid. But my assessment of what went down starts with the fact that everyone dislikes and/or hates SMU and it culminated with their ham handed, and arrogant, system of paying players. SO, once again, SMU was treated unfairly, but they pretty much brought it on themselves. Just about everyone hated you then.......and pretty much still does.

      Any Word on DC Candidates?

      That was actually for 2017. I looked at the wrong year... they were 79th for 2018-2019 calendar year. Middle of the pack in the ACC. He makes more than Caponi which I don't like unless we plan on holding on to the ball for 35 minutes per game like Army did this year. https://stats.ncaa.org/rankings/national_ranking?academic_year=2019.0&division=11.0&ranking_period=69.0&sport_code=MFB&stat_seq=28.0

      First College Net Rankings released

      that Jan 5 game is setting up to be super important as it's looking like possibly our only other shot at a Quad 1 win. plus for some of you, it could be a convenient stop on your roadtrip...looks like Memphis is about a third of the way to DC...might wanna get on the road after the game to catch the daytime reunion activities, but either way I'm sure the party will be going well into the night

      Tough Standards at Appy State

      Agree, he had three 9-plus winning seasons and two bowl wins. Rick

      Tough Standards at Appy State

      Good point. And I guess that's why ASU only played 11 games....as they had a game with Liberty cancelled.
