I don't care how much we hate SMU (it's a lot), but storming the court will be a terrible look. SMU already thinks they're our "Super Bowl," so this wouldn't help our case. Memphis comes into town in February. Assuming they're still ranked at the time, we storm the court if we beat them

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

Yep!   And let's do that with all of the students we pick up as "die-hards" tonight (whether they rush the court or not).  Fingers-crossed!

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.

In the past [ and I mean way back ] there was talk about having a holiday tournament in DFW with UNT,SMU,UTA, and TCU as participates.Naturally it sounded too good to be true, and as it turned out it wasn't.Oh well!

They did.  The players ate it up & stayed out there with them.

They did not. They came on the court as a part of the after party. There was no storm- in that entering the court.

OK.  Not all of the student section dumped out immediately after the final whistle like we would normally call "storming the court"...  my bad, technically.   Sheesh.

And those kids I’m sure will remember this moment and have a much more fond outlook on UNT athletics for the rest of their time at UNT and beyond than kids who showed up for the first time to watch Benford ball get run out of the gym by SFA or something.

Y'all were 13-5 (4-1) with nice wins over FLSt, & current 1st place Charlotte, in addition to a nail biter VS Memphis.   

Hate to rain on your self-deprecation-for-the-sake-of-excusing-your-loss but...  Y'all are good.   

I anticipate February 11 to be another really great game between 2 very good teams.

I hope, but am not very confident, that you are right.  Because if you are not right, next year will be very very painful for SMU.

Comon be a better sport. It literally came down to one shot. If that 3 had gone down, I would be unhappy, but I wouldn't be saying our team is not that good. It's the kind of game you shake the other team's hand and just say "Good game." We have sure been on the other end of that. 

Go back and look at our Fordham game. Lost by a fingertip to a team that's a 3 digit NET team. Doesn't mean we aren't good. Bottom line is it's hard to win road games in any league. See the big 12 right now also.

But the conference is pretty weak other than a couple teams, such as this one.

 

What I would expect from Uppity Park.

Delusions of grandeur.

      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.
