La Tech always acted like they were bigger and better than they were. Because of that thinking, they are now stuck in the worst conference in FBS. And ULM is now in a better setup.

What has happened to them is what we could only dream would happen to SMU. And I guess, from TCU's persepctive, it has...

In what world does ULM have a better setup then La Tech? Are you basing this solely on game results this year? La Tech is light years ahead of ULM in terms of facilities, staffing, and funding.

He's probably just referring to conference affiliation.  And he is certainly correct on that point.

Indeed. ULM is far better positioned than LaTech is. LaTech will just have to negative recruit against ULM and continue to maintain the perception of being better than ULM throughout their state. Otherwise, ULM could pass LaTech by pretty quickly. And, frankly, good for ULM.

I guess, but that is their only advantage. ULM is the definition of a poverty program. La Tech is much better setup to be a viable FBS program long-term.

Are you sure about that. I agree ULM is not spending. But LaTech isn't all that much better by all accounts. Part of why Holtz didn't mind parting ways was that he was tired of them not being willing to spend with the UTSA, UAB, FAU and UNTs of the world.

Yes. Listen to Chandler Rogers interview with The Green Room. Talks about how ULM doesn't have a real training staff (all graduate assistants) and doesn't provide players meal plans.

Yeah, he's gotta' be so much happier to be here.  I mean, if nothing else, he's not in Monroe.

When you say meal plan, what are you specifically referring too? If you live in a dorm, meal are part of it.

Evidently not at ULM, or more likely that the athletic department doesn’t cover that cost.

      Build your team

      I’ll take your starting 5 and reserves with two changes. Give me Umoja Gibson in place of Woolridge and JJ Murray over Reese* *My son would kill me for taking Reese out (he is his all-time favorite Mean Green player) but I think I have enough scoring and I can’t pass up JJ’s ability to take on the opposing team’s best scorer.

      Let’s be honest Title 9 is the dumbest ruling ever and always has been. I am all for women’s sports, I am all for schools offering scholarships for those sports if they choose to. Requiring every school to have an equal number of scholarships when football takes 85 is so beyond crazy, and this is crazier. Something meant to benefit female athletes has clearly been detrimental for men’s sports. We are not the only school who doesn’t have men’s soccer or baseball because of it, although someone has posted here before that’s not what’s stopping a baseball program from starting. We have 100x a chance of placing a player in the pros (or USMNT) in soccer and baseball yet we don’t have those programs. Truly makes no sense.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      😂 All those schools you mentioned have significantly more football accomplishments than UNT and frequent (sometimes deep) entries into NCAA tournament. It is just a bad comparison. You can expect to microwave fan support on a level with those schools from one NIT title which at best (perception wise) makes you no better than 30-20th basketball team that year with your stars and coach leaving the team before the next season. I make 4 out of 6 Saturday Football games a season. I like being outside in good weather. I don’t live in Denton and the last thing I want to do after work is drive for an hour in rush hour traffic to get to a volleyball or basketball game. I suspect the average alumni that doesn’t live in Denton or border city feels the same way. I made a home game the year they won the NIT and preceding season. The SuperPit needs work, concessions food wasn’t good with long lines to get it. I guarantee the fan experiences at the home basketball arenas of the teams you mentioned aren’t like that.

      Best UNT BBall team ever?

      I think we’re a good team that’s trending up. An at large bid is unlikely…we’d have to win all/most of our games, strong showing in the Conference Tourney, and have no surprise teams taking any auto bids. NIT is still a GREAT tournament. It doesn’t get the media hype, but it’s good basketball.
