I'd be surprised, but I guess I could see that if the Horns lose in the Sweet 16.  However, if Texas gets to the Final Four there is no way they can let him walk.

Why in the hell do we keep doing this DUMB crap??! Every P5 job that opens up doesn’t deserve a “what if Mac leaves for_____” thread.  He has had P5 opportunities, and yet I saw him just yesterda

No, we offer Ross Hodge and hope he accepts.

Oh, I’m just making up shit at this point. It’s a symptom of my current state of denial.

If Grant does leaves for Lubbock, I have one last request for him. He mentioned how nobody significant wants to play us in nonconference. Why doesn't he do us a solid and play us in Denton next fall?

Grant selling Kirby Hocutt on the idea.

So let's make sure we don't lose a game in the NIT.  Give him a welcome home celebration after they win the title and pull on his heartstrings.

Should we bring out the handcuffs for Mac like the Mavs did for Harrison Barnes a few years ago after being burned by DeAndre Jordan?

Turning the Texas tech program around will not be easy, the Big12 is stacked and just about every program in that conference will out recruit Tech from high schools and in the transfer window.  there is a major recruiting gap in the Big12 between the top schools and the bottom schools in that conference.  Nothing against Mac, but what Tech really needs is a big name coach that can instantly recruit top ranked players.

Ok now that we've had a day to celebrate and enjoy the OSU win I feel like I can address this. 

I don't doubt that Mac is a candidate for the job, but at this stage I would think he is one of a few names they are looking at. The other I would guess is Dusty May, also what about Brian Dutcher who makes $1.3m at SDSU? Texas might not keep Rodney Terry. That along with a few names is what I figure they are looking at. 

Let's not forget SMU tried to money whip Mac last season. Rumors were they were offering in the $2.6-2.8M range, but he turned them down. Could UNT offer him something in the $2m range to convince him to stay? The other part of me has the Littrell era in my head where we shouldered a big debt if we let him go early. The difference is that Mac has actually won the hardware/big wins; CBI champs, regular and tourney champs, NCAA win, NIT wins and Semi Final. Going into the AAC it will be much easier to get into the NCAAT as an at-large. However we cannot match the money and more importantly recruiting advantage that TT has.

All of this could've been avoided if Mark never talked about masters and slaves with a group of African American basketball players...

They were in the sweet 16 last year and in the national title game just 4 years ago. I don’t think it would be any harder than turning around the pile of dog excrement that Tony Benford left behind.

The main problem for Grant at Tech or other P5 programs is they have fan bases with NO patience!  They want top shelf wins and March Madness first season..   If you don’t produce by second season, you’ll be labeled loser and they have the $$ to replace you!   At NT, Grant is already King and can stay as long as he wants.

I despise Tech and won’t root for Mac there if he leaves, but not sure why some are acting like they are a bottom of the conference program. The above clearly shows otherwise.

He was gone regardless. This was set early in the season.

Messing around with his dead brother’s wife wasn’t the best show of character either.

Yeah, that didn't help.  Then he was missing practices and recruiting meetings also because of said relationship.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      I enjoyed the overall presentation too. One gripe kind of related to your second paragraph though. A spontaneous 'North Texas' chant broke out in the second half; I think it was right after Oregon St called time out when we went up 53-46. It would have been a really cool moment if the chant were allowed to get bigger. Instead it got drowned out by in arena music and the next paid promotion. So, just being more cognizant of those moments, and they don't happen too frequently, would improve the game experience. I should mention that they have stopped before to let North Texas chants build up; the game against Memphis last season comes to mind.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!
