Southern Nazarene (11/7/22)

CMJ · November 5, 2022

Time to draw the curtain on a new campaign.

Pavlovs Eagle · November 6, 2022

I sort of stumbled onto these tickets in my account today. Glad there was a home football game today that gave me a reason to look at my account!

Excited for Monday!

2020 Sucks · November 6, 2022

We will score 100+ and give The Maniacs some fuel for the fire!!!

NT80 · November 6, 2022

I am anxious to see our new added players and the more up tempo offense.

I wish we had all D1 opponents and not these NAIA and DII teams on the schedule. Was it that hard to get someone to Denton? It's not like we're in Montana. Nothing against them, but I don't think we get much quality competition playing these scrimmages.

Matt from A700 · November 6, 2022

I think the alumni turnout will be slightly better than the past openers against the Jarvis Christians and Oklahoma Christians of the world, due to the growing success of the team, but I expect the Maniacs/student section to be notably bigger for this time of the year.

GMac explained on a recent podcast that no P5 team wants to even play them..especially in Denton. There are some G5’s coming into town, but later in the season.

No, I don't mean upper level P5 type programs (although P5 and G5 are football designations). I just mean one of the 352 DI basketball programs.

"There are 352 schools that are full members of 32 Division I basketball conferences, plus five more that are in transition from NCAA Division II and one also in transition from NCAA Division III, and are members of Division I conferences."

I see. Not sure. I’m assuming it’s a similar situation where it’s tough getting opponents to come to Denton. I’ve got tix to the Fresno St. game. That one should be a good game.

We as alumni and students need to care about seeing our team no matter who we play(like other athletic programs), but I'm sure this is too much to ask😀

There is no such thing as P5 in basketball.

However, it is extremely hard to get name teams to play away in out of conference games.

As McCasland stated they don't want to play NT even at their home.

That is not just a NT or CUSA problem, it is true for all 352 teams. It is further complicated for teams like NT that don't have a big budget for buying home games.

YouTube link to watch the game

UNTLifer · November 7, 2022

Does anyone know if Youtube saves their broadcasts so they can be watched later? I may have a conflict at 7pm.

CMJ · November 7, 2022

I believe so.

They can, but I don't know if they will.

Looks like in addition to Rubin Jones, Tylor Perry not in uniform tonight.

Andrew · November 8, 2022

Ruben and Perry both out for the game and Mac said in the pre game on the radio they don’t know how long they will be out, but we will have some new guys brining op the ball and getting to see early season minutes.

Andrew · November 8, 2022

Mac saying this game is going to challenge us and be a tough one to win…. God I hope he is wrong and we actually win by double digits….

CMJ · November 8, 2022

We will.

Matt from A700 · November 8, 2022

Fatherly duties are keeping me home tonight, but look forward to watching on YouTube. Tylor and Rubin being out will allow us to see more of the newbies showing what they've got.
