All of you saying "no"...  I get it.   It's not like we're stunning a ranked opponent, winning a postseason tournament, etc.... However, there are about 45,000,000,000+ threads on GMG chastising

Court storming is for winning games against teams you’re not typically on par with. This does not apply here.    BUT   if the kids wanna do it, let em. I’m not going to gatekeep what

I wouldn't for SMU.  It's not for a league title and they aren't ranked.  Hell, we have a better history the last quarter century.  We have  NIT championship and have won a round in the NCAAs recently (and two other trips to the Big Dance since 2000).  The Mustangs haven't gotten to the Round of 32 in the Dance since 1988 (they were NIT runnerups a decade ago, so that's pretty good.) and only have two trips to the NCAAs since then.

If the students want to get out on the floor, they should have at it. Let them be excited to about beating smut. This could be a turning point in the attendance.

We should storm the court if we beat Memphis and FAU if they are still ranked when they come to Denton.

If we do it tonight against SMU, get prepared for a bunch of trash from Pony fans on social, "Super Bowl" comments and whatnot.

I agree with others though, it'd be fun for students. Wish I got to experience that kind of opportunity as a student.

However, there are about 45,000,000,000+ threads on GMG chastising students for not showing up to various games through the years. 
If the students decide to storm the floor, jump around, get amped-up, then continually return for the rest of the home games... that's a win.
Not to mention, SMU currently has a better overall record and is ahead of us in the conference standings.   It's not the worst time to do it.

Go for it Mean Green!   Have fun!   Most importantly, Come Back!

I got to experience it vs Texas Tech and it was a blast. No idea if it made any basketball sense in terms of who was the better team but none of us cared. Beating a team that thinks we’re beneath them is always fun.

Its the last time SMU will ever play at UNT.  If the students want to rush the court let them have a good time.

It shouldn't be.   
Us, along with TCU & UTA should have a round-robin each year to crown the metroplex champs.  Rotate home/away between teams each year.  If tied, point diff crowns the champs.   It just makes too much sense, and since there are so many non-conference games in basketball, it should be fairly easy to schedule.

We've played 50 times.  We were playing before you existed and will still be playing after you're dead.  Deal with it!

Ever? That's bold. 

What happens when the AAC = ACC. Which every protagonist is stating as such. Then what? Does ever come and go quick?

Agree with this (although it's probably not the last time for OOC/tournaments).

I wouldn't rush the court but if the students want to, let them. Maybe they have fun, become more invested in the program, and keep coming back. Don't expect the kids coke to games when you won't let them have fun when they show up.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
