Biggest game in the history of Western Civilization

Is it rude to say I don’t mind these ass kickings, especially over these past two schools.

Johnny Jones is 100% getting fired if we lose this game

I can't even remember when all the JJ jokes started, but I know the "biggest game" stuff began when I broke it out for the 2007 Sunbelt Tourney run...and then we won the Championship.

it was right about the same time...and if I recall it was in direct sarcastic response to a poster actually suggesting JJ shouldn't be allowed on the team bus after a loss.

So we beat La Tech at home by 2 when they still had Cobe Williams and beat them on the road by 10 without him. How are we feeling today y'all? Part of me is scared Crawford and Willis are going to cause us fits but I still think we pull it out

Every game in March is potentially a killer.  I'm excited/nervous/scared about all of them.

Definitely more nervous than Rice last year. LA Tech is still LA Tech, and will have plenty of fans at The Star, too. They're no ordinary 10 seed.

Crawford played 44 minutes last night. Willis played 45. Hopefully they're fatigued tonight. La Tech is like WKU. It's the name that gets us fans. I think the players want revenge from last year and will take it out on a tired squad tonight. If we can pull off early, I don't think La Tech will have the legs to make a comeback.

Exactly what I was going to say.

I am hoping Kai is able to go tonight even in limited minutes.

I'll share my baseless optimism:

Kai is rearing to go.  He could have gone against WKU, but they preferred to rest him one extra game.

Now, he's locked and loaded and this team is hangry.  Maybe the injury bug still lingers.  If so, look for Kai to get rested if we are up big in the 2H.

I'll share my non-doctored, baseless pessimism:

Tired legs don't really start to show until the 3rd game.  The adrenaline can carry you through that 2nd game.

I still think we win, but I don't think LT is going to show tired legs unless this is a total rockfight going into the final 5 minutes.

If the game is close late, we're in trouble. Can't let them hang around and get a jolt of adrenaline from playing a close game. I think the opposite but I'm not an expert here. Just speculating. Maybe you're right.

I know people said this is a late game and will allow them time to recoup. I don't think the late start helps them much with having gone to OT last night. I do think we need to crush them so the game doesn't drag on late. UAB plays at 8:30 tonight. With Friday being a 2pm tip, if we win big tonight and can rest starters late it'll help us tremendously for Friday. Got to handle La Tech first, though.

I'd buy that.  Makes sense.

Hopefully we crush them and their will early and this is all moot.

So, do we stay fresher as a team because of our slow offense, or does our quick-adjusting defense use up our energy?

It would be nice to build a comfortable lead and rest some of the starters.  We don’t want Perry doing 40 minutes every game.

LOVE this time of year. This bit hits a soft spot, because it reminds me of Hot Springs, making the trip with the college bros. Let's get it done this weekend in Frisco!!

They only had 9 players available for the game last night. They will probably look drained the second half!

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      Agree Mosley is a bad hire, the guy doesn't show any emotion and passion for UNT. Quite frankly, he's boring

      Honest tactical question here…

      Well MK, we have been running the damn ball. I believe I'm correct in stating that our leading rusher is Shane Porter, a 186lb WR transfer with (near as I can tell) a bum shoulder from Kansas State. He averages 7.2 yards per carry. McGill averages 5 yards per carry, and occasionally Sibley (#21) gets into the game. None of these guys was a starter in the beginning of the season. We have lost the services of Ragsdale, a very promising D. Harris (#44) who averaged 8.8 yards before he got injured, and Evans (#26) who was averaging 6.4 before he was injured. We have rushed for 1737 yards, and our opponents have put up 2269. Although sometimes it seems like much more. All things considered; I'd say that (except for very short yardage) we were running the ball pretty good. And this doesn't even take into account how many starting linemen we have lost since the first game of the season. What I think would have made almost as much difference as anything for us would have been the presence of 3 or 4 effective run disrupters in the middle of our defense.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      A long time ago, when I was younger and Harry was running this board on a different setup with a guy named "Scotty" -- he just threw his hands up and said "I'M OUT." In my younger and more idealist vision, why would he do that? Why can't UNT be that sleeping giant and be TCU that invigorates their program? I went with @Cerebus to grab some tickets from Scotty since he wasn't going to use them anymore and I could definitely talk someone to use them. He was a normal guy, not angry, not a monster, just a dude. A dude who wanted to use him time and money elsewhere. Still, as an more mature and realist, I still don't know why not UNT. But I get Scotty. This AD is terrible. Moseley and his C-suites are terrible hires. Wren wasn't good. At that VERY least with RV he made the fans like us feel heard and appreciated. RV definitely had his faults and I was not a big fan. Chief Revenue Officer. LOL. General Manager. LOL.

      Stupid post. What you want us to become a craphole like UTA? I question your allegiance for even asking that.

      You make some great points. I am starting to think we need a Doge type of audit of the AD. We have a HUGE AD budget compared to similar AAC schools and are not getting results.
