asked.

I wasnt' able to attend, but listened from Houston, and George and Hank mentioned that the officials were a CUSA crew. Why would we not have Sun Belt officials considering this was our home game?

I'm sure this was a stipulation Tusla threw in there in order to agree to play at the landfill we like to call fouts field. In the end we agreed because we couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a winnable OOC team in our house. The positive was the higher attendance, the negatives, well we all know what those are. rolleyes.gif

I'm not trying to dump anything on the officials, I just found it curious that these weren't Sun Belt officials. True Fouts isn't the best stadium around, but I would wager a bet that it is better than Tulsa's dump.

I shudder at the thought of a stadium worse than fouts... blink.gif

More seats doesn't equate into nicer stadium. It is in poor shape.

Not saying it is nicer. I was just posting the picture and info for all to see. It was built in 1930 so it is pretty old.

that picture shows me nothing of the stadium... it looks full, thats it. but we don't know who they are playing (it could be their "baylor" game). i agree, i stadium built in 1930 has to be run down.

please don't say "looks good" when it is an aerial shot made to look good.

any one been there?

Skelly was expanded in 1965. The endzone seats on the left side of the picture are no longer there. Phase I of the Skelly remodel is underway and includes the construction of a north endzone building in its place. The east facade is the well taken care of and from what I understand, the origional. It is very beautiful. The west side needs work. When they expanded by adding the upper seating, they covered the beautiful brick with the erector-set seating. Hopefully they will fix that up in Phase II or III.

Phases II and III (yet to come) are supposed to include redoing the west seating (upper), restrooms, concessions, bowling in the south endzone, press box, etc.

Lifer seriously take off your beer googles when looking at fouts, its is a proven historical landfill...

also the tulsa stadium is what any one of us mean green fans would love to even dream about having here in denton.... to say that stadium is in poor shape and to also defend fouts being a dump, is very stupid.

I've been going to Fouts since the late 60's. I'm well aware of where it stands in the "dump-heap" rankings, but I've talked to too many people that have been to Tulsa that said it was in terrible shape. I'm glad to see they are remodeling.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
