SMU owns a few homes in University Park.  Sonny's house was a block off of Hillcrest and it was owned by the university.

This is false.  SMU does own more than a few homes, but most are/were adjacent to campus for expansion.  Sonny owned his own home.  It was on Drexel, it's public record - you can look it up.  Jankovich owns his own home on Druid by HPHS.  Again, public record.  SMU used to own the University President's home on University Dr (by HP Presby), but sold it a couple years ago and now he's building his own, across the street from the former house.

If you're going to go to an opposing school's message boards and start spitting out "facts", make sure they're ALL correct, or you discredit the ones that might actually be.

Because it’s a lateral/downgrade of a move to a “rival”.

If McCasland leaves to SMU of all places, I maintain that I’m done. It’s literally not worth it, and there is no point in being a UNT fan if SMU can just moneywhip us that badly.

Texas Tech seems to be doing just fine with Texas money whipping their coach to Austin.

Dillon Lovelace, but thanks for playing.

No, he really did mean Brint Ryan there. He hasn’t done it lately but his last activity on Twitter was exactly what texx is describing. It’s somewhat accurate in describing Lovelace as well but lacking without mentioning the racist remarks.

And I thought you didn’t like people altering your posts with the “FIFY” style edits in quote replies.

This is quite a leap.
Don't forget, Baker is a basketball guy.   He's the one who was able to pull McCasland from ARSt. originally.  I have no doubt that if McCasland leaves, Baker would have no problems identifying a replacement (if it's not Hodge, and if it's Hodge, I'm more than fine with that).

Look, it’s Mccasland or Benford. There are no in betweens in potential outcomes here.

Because we can lose the best coach in our history for no reason other than boomer money? FOH. Why would you want to gamble on finding someone better than Mac? Do you want Tony B again?

the confidence levels this board has in finding a replacement football coach vs a replacement basketball coach could not be further apart.

I don't understand this rationale.  Anytime someone has the potential to triple their salary it would be professional malpractice not to at least entertain it.  It doesn't mean that its a "bad look" for UNT nor is it a bad thing for SMU if he's the guy.

Agreed. This is not a lateral move, anymore than the Teas Tech coach going to UT.

Thanks for being there to correct me. I know I can count on you.

Thanks for leaving the door open! And glad to know you’re cool with editing other people’s posts in quote replies now. The “FIFY” is back!

Though the man has a history of turning around down trodden programs, SMU is not looking for a guy to win a CBI tournament or win 1 game in the NCAA or NIT.

Grant has done miracles at UNT. However, you can’t say the UNT program is better than SMU,….

Just my opinion

 

 

 

No, SMU would like to find a guy that could win them a CBI game or even a CBI Championship like North Texas (‘18), and maybe even do it without cheating.  But for now they’ll have to remain settled for that quarter final win over Northern Iowa in the 2010 CIT.

Since ‘88 smu has exactly the same number of legal NIT wins as North Texas….1.

Since 1988 SMU has been to the NCAA 3 times, ‘88, ‘93 , ‘17….minus cheating (‘15). 

………….North Texas has been there 4 times, ‘88, ‘07, ‘10, ‘21.

SMU hasn’t won an NCAA tournament game since 1988.  

………North Texas has,……2021.

 

 

Your opinion wreaks of horse$hit!

I don't think you guys get it. UNT has a MUCH better chance of hiring SMU's successful coaches than the other way around. We have more fans and a significantly higher(actual) athletic budget.

Did I stutter?

Coach Mac’s decision with SMU last year did not surprise me at the time & is a reason I think he stays at UNT now. (To be honest, I think he can eventually do better than Texas Tech). 

One has to consider that what Mac decides on will be a family decision. Most of his family live in Denton & Denton County.  Mac is a PK (preacher’s kid) & grew up in a conservative Christian environment where money & fame are not god. 
••• I may eat crow with this, but I think he stays at UNT. His salary should dramatically be adjusted, though. 

(Weren’t the Mean Green great last night)?

GMG!
