Just wait till next Sunday when North Dakota State plays South Dakota state for the FCS championship game in Frisco. 

It will be a sell out and the fans for both teams will take over Frisco/Plano starting on Wednesday.

OK I'll bite.  Littrell just did not inspire the alumni and the fan base.  We climaxed after the Arkansas season and fake punt return and it just never clicked after that.  Littrell was the highest pa

Really sucks that I am being down voted for the post.  If you have a personal problem with me, be a man and send me a PM.

It was 33° with a wind-chill in the twenties. But don't worry, no one is questioning your manhood, you get your tough guy fan badge for the day.

We're comparing Apples and Oranges here, it's a National Championship Game and both their fanbases like nothing better than getting out of N & S Dakotas in the dead of winter! If lived up there I'm would gladly go from a high of 20 to 60. Also sure there would be 20,000 from those states make the trip south!!

Littrell lost this fanbase between the periods of flirting with the Kansas State job and getting throttled by a skeleton crew coaching staff in the N.M. Bowl in 2018.

If memory serves Utah State was a top 25 team and Fine was injured early in the game and did not return so I gave Littrell a pass.

Ok guy who drives a Citation

Well if people want make excuses for not showing up to the game for weather is pathetic. Academy Sports and Outdoors has ton of winter gear to buy…unless you rather wear your Northface vest inside drinking at the wine bar thinking your sh$t doesn’t stink.

Yep.  I did too.   Not to say that the KSSt flirting maybe didn't have something to do with it, but if I had to pinpoint a specific time, I agree with this one:

... specifically on the last-second loss to a horrible Charlotte team that year.   We were underachieving that season up until that point already... then it just seemed like the bottom fell out.

I made an account to speak on this. I just graduated fall of 22, want to know why no one goes?

 

because the team regularly blows big games. the school is mediocre and the team is mediocre, nothing it does wows you. We also have a massive population of people who don’t care about sportsball (I fall more or less into this camp). I’ll go watch a game here or there and leave at halftime. win games, then guess what? People will come to watch. Then move to a big conference, regardless I, like most UNT alumni and students really don’t give a sh!t about sports. 
 

 

you go to UNT for 1 of 3 reasons

 

1. you couldn’t get into anywhere else because of grades. 
 

2. they gave you a free ride and hey it’s close by. No debt sounds awesome.

 

3. you’re a burn out, the school has an 85% acceptance rate. 

 

no one goes to UNT because they REALLLY want to unless they are in music. 
 

these are my thoughts as a recent graduate.

1. BS. 

2. Sounds great. 

3. Also, BS.

      UNT Basketball Hires Kwanza Johnson To Coaching Staff

      DENTON – First year UNT men’s basketball head coach Daniyal Robinson on Wednesday hired veteran coach Kwanza Johnson to his staff as an assistant coach. Johnson joins the Mean Green after two seasons on Robinson’s staff at Cleveland State and with over 25 years of division one coaching experience. In his coaching career Johnson has won eight conference championships, won seven NCAA Tournament games and recruited and mentored numerous NBA draft picks who have gone on to win multiple NBA championships and an Olympic Gold medal. During his two years at Cleveland State with Robinson, Johnson helped lead the Vikings to back-to-back 20-win seasons. In his second season in Cleveland the Vikings won 23 games, their most single season wins in 14 years. CSU finished second in the Horizon league regular season standings and made the championship game of the 2025 CBI. CSU earned 10 total Horizon All-Conference honors in Johnson’s two seasons with the Vikings, including two first team honors in Tristan Enaruna in 2024 and Tevin Smith in 2025. Cleveland State in 2025 ranked in the top two in the Horizon in offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency. The Vikings won 13 straight games from Dec. 7, 2024 through Jan. 30, 2025, their longest win streak in over 28 years. Prior to his two years at Cleveland State, Johnson served on the staffs at California (2022-23), Tulsa (2019-22), Little Rock (2016-18), TCU (2013-16), Georgia (2009-13), Nevada (2006-09), Eastern Illinois (2005-06) and he got his coaching start at his alma mater Tulsa (1997-05) under Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Bill Self. While at Georgia from 2009-13, Johnson mentored AP All-American Kentavious Caldwell-Pope who was the 2013 SEC Player of the Year. Caldwell-Pope was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the eighth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. He is a two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 and the Denver Nuggets in 2023. During Johnson’s three-year tenure at Nevada from 2006-09, he coached eventual first round pick, three-time NBA champion and 2020 Olympic gold medalist JaVale McGee. In total so far, Johnson in his career has mentored nine players who have gone on to be drafted into the NBA: Luke Babbit, Caldwell-Pope, Nick Frazekas, Armon Johnson, Travis Leslie, McGee, Michael Ruffin, Ramon Sessions and Trey Thompkins. Johnson also coached current Oklahoma City Thunder Kenrich Williams while at TCU from 2013-16. Williams, whose number was retired by the Horned Frogs, wasn’t drafted but has played seven seasons in the NBA and in 2023 earned a veteran extension contract. Johnson got his coaching career started in 1997 on Bill Self’s first Golden Hurricane staff. Two years later, Johnson was part of the staff that led Tulsa to a historic 32-win season and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament and finished the year ranked No. 18. An Oklahoma City native, Johnson played collegiately first at Rose State College where he was one of the top junior college players in Oklahoma. In 1993 he transferred to Tulsa to play for legendary head coach Tubby Smith. Johnson was a catalyst that ended the Golden Hurricane’s NCAA Tournament win drought as he led his team to two Missouri Valley Conference titles and to back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances as its captain and all-league performer. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics from TU in 1995 before adding a Juris Doctor degree from the TU College of Law in 1999. He and his wife, Kim, have three children: Kaitlyn, Kendall and Kalli. Kwanza Johnson Coaching Career Tulsa (1997-2005) Eastern Illinois (2005-06) Nevada (2006-09) Georgia (2009-13) TCU (2013-16) Little Rock (2016-18) Tulsa (2019-22) Regular season champ California (2022-23) Cleveland State (2023-25) North Texas (2025-present) For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu.

      We’re not alone

      I'm so sick of this narrative. how often do you really think Mid-Majors make the Sweet 16? Middies in the Sweet 16 2024 - San Diego St., Gonzaga* 2023 - Florida Atlantic, Princeton (15 seed) 2022 - St. Peter's (15 seed) 2021 - Oral Roberts (15 seed), Loyola-Chicago 2019 - Gonzaga* 2018 - Loyola-Chicago, Gonzaga* 2017 - Gonzaga* 2016 - Gonzaga* 2015 - Wichita State, Gonzaga* 2014 - Dayton, San Diego St. 2013 - Wichita State, LaSalle, Florida-Gulf Coast (15 seed) 2012 - Xavier (still in A-10 at the time) take Gonzaga out of the math and you're basically at 1 per year...with maybe extra qualifiers for Xavier and SDSU...so zero isn't really a statistical anomaly...basically '16, '17, '19 were all zeroes, pre NIL/portal. one tournament does not make a trend.
