I think the advantage we have, if there is any advantage at all, is access to a mass population and the opportunity to play at home?  And that’s what we have to offer high school kids, mostly.  Which

Yeah that sucks

 

And again, before the tourney is over. That is really wrong. 

 

I am so pissed off right now.

I bet we get a lot of interest from some great candidates since coaches around the country see how committed our administration is to athletics.

I mean, it's not "official" yet because WVU hasn't announced it.

Not Coach Hodge's fault (and likely not Wren's either) that it leaked, as he probably didn't want it to.

I don't blame him. The administration showed him firsthand that he wasn't respected when they forced him to give up homecourt advantage for a damn luncheon.

UNT competed for a conference championship and won 27 games yet couldn't get more than 4,000 people to show up to the Super Pit.

 

Hodge did everything asked of him and then some but got nothing in return. 

 

WVU is starving for a winner and shows up even when the team is mediocre.

Like the OSU fans did last night.

Wren catching a little heat over hiring. Looks like WVU fans and media were surprised, graded hire between C+ and B.

I think if we were in their shoes we would see it as underwhelming. No NCAA appearances, no championships, and if you pulled up posts from a year ago you would find that large numbers on this board were opposed to any contract extension based on last year's performance.

I personally think WVU is making a good hire, but I am not a WVU fan.

This will be Hodge's favorite part over the years.

To be fair, this isn't the reason why he is leaving. He's going to get a major pay raise and play in a major conference that NT can't even think about matching. And I might be wrong here, but I think even in the AAC standards, Hodge doesn't get as much as others.

I am beyond heartbroken. An end of an era after this season. I knew something was ominous this week and I braced myself for our school to send him the bag. But knew this was a possibility. This is our reality when we succeed at a high level. 😞

      Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

      Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM. Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so. Other Series This Weekend FAU @ East Carolina Memphis @ South Florida UTSA @ Charlotte Wichita State @ Tulsa I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

      Thought I'd share some good news in this thread. Taller than Lampkin and NCAA Tournament experience.

      We’re not alone

      I read somewhere before the teams were even seeded that Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston were a step above every other team. There was some metric/stat they showed to back up the statement. So, yes, I think those teams were accurately seeded…though TT almost had something to say about it.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unt-womens-basketball-team-looking-at-nearly-complete-rebuild-after-players-head-to-portal/article_cf093cbf-6ff4-44de-a70d-4f4892172cb2.html Brett Vito is reporting in his article that Hardaway, Deck, Wooten, McGrew, and Duncan are all in the portal. He reported also that Johnson left towards the end of the season. I knew I didn't see her any longer, but I thought maybe injuries, but it turns out she left like Abou did a few years back. Brackens went into the portal and has since landed at Tarleton State. The only people he says that are coming back are Tac, who was injured all season, Chania Price, and Talley.
