Maybe all this happened for a reason. We go to the bowl and beat Central Michigan, it might send enough shockwaves throughout he college football world that maybe people might reconsider their position on us belonging there.

The notion that anything regarding an MTSU vs. CMU matchup could send shockwaves through the college football world is the funniest thing I've heard all day.

That said, I hope they beat the hell out of the mighty Chippewas. Go Big Sexy Blue. laugh.gif

Nope!  Just the team that can draw more fans for a women's basketball game than North Texas can for a football game.  cool.gif

Your Girls basketball team probably could have beaten this years football team (I jest of course).

Let the MUTS have their barbs. They will end next season when NT hangs half-a-hundred on them and everything is right in the SUN BELT Conference.

I don't know. It is pretty humerous to see them beat their chest over Women's basketball. Even more humerous is to think that we might be following what their women's team is doing as a guide to our head football coach.

The premise is this. In comparing high school girl's basketball to college women's basketball and high school football to college football--the sport is the same. The level is different, but the game is pretty much played the same way. If you're pretty darn good at it at one level, then chances are you can be pretty darn good at any other level.

The reason why we believe Dodge will be successful at UNT is his proven track record as a winner in the high school level. What was it? 77-1 record? USA Today National Coach of the Year one time. Three straight state titles?

Now do you understand?

This was his quote:

I wonder if the success of a Rick Insell at MT in women's basketball, made it easier for north texas to go the direction of hiring a HS coach.

What I understand is that the thought of our AD even considering what success MTSU lady blue raiders has had is laughable.

Your thoughts, however, are spot on. It is for those reasons that we are excited as well.

Well, I never thought MT hiring a high school coach had anything to do with it. Villareal is a very smart man. Not only did he know that he was getting a guy with a proven track record of success, he was also getting a guy he knew would draw a tremendous amount of press throughout the college football world. And voila! You're seeing stories in media outlets across the east coast, west coast, Hawaii, and Alaska. That's what a damn good athletic director does! He craves publicity! He couldn've hired someone else that would do similar job as Dodge, but I don't think it would have the draw of attention like Dodge brings you.

I'm not suggesting that he looked at what Massaro did and tried to copy him. I just think that Massaro and Villareal are similar in their way of thinking.

Agree. Also , I apprecitate having other fellow SBC foes inputs on here. Nice of you to make the visit every once in awhile.

Just to let ya know I have a MTSU Raider shirt and even wear it out sometimes laugh.gif ( got it when I went there for a game a few years back) Ill be wearing vs. CMU and supporting you guys , good luck!

It certainly helped dispell one of the thousands of myths mentioned on internet message boards, that's for sure. But it may have possibly come up in conversations as well between Wright Waters and RV too? If so then the MTSU program coud have helped calm some fears.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      I'll say that I noticed this team has more attitude than previous years. Before teams would ignore other's taunting or stare downs, but these players embrace it. Even Sissoko who seems like a gentle giant stared down his guy.

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)
