Yep, you got us. People who have been Mean Green fans for more than a season or two, and have a bit of perspective, want the team to lose. You figured us out, and now the 3 people on this board who are excited about JJ's "accomplishments" as coach at UNT are the only true fans. Everyone else is secretly hoping for the team to lose. :rolleyes:

Where have you been? We won on Thursday.

Where have you been? We won on Thursday.

At work, with my friends, whatever. When you sit in front of a computer all day at work, you don't exactly rush home to get on the computer again. I guess I need to be more vigilant for possible pearls of basketball wisdom posted here such as "We need to stop dribbling and shoot more 3s!", "Sweet 16, here we come!" and "Rich Young a lottery pick? Why not".

But you're right, we did win, which is great. I thought that having that sentiment went without saying, but I guess I still have a lot to prove to the first year Mean Green fans.

I guess a few of my statements were not clear enough. Sure winning in the regular season is important and no one here would disagree. All I am saying is we have watched this song and dance for many years, not just with JJ. We need to get this thing to the next level. It's time. Yes of course you need to win games to get to first and second in the division and that should be expected now with the talent we have. We need to finish strong and continue strong in the conf. tourney for this season to be a success. Anything else is unacceptable.

Emmitt & Chris,

Nothing makes me happier than when NT wins (No matter the sport). I hope I'm wrong and the Men And Women win out the season and qualify for the Tournament.

Go Mean Green. Go Johnny Jones, Go Tina Slinker.

HERE HERE!!!

I agree. I am not worried about "quality" of the win. I am more concerned with the "Quantity" of wins and winning in the SBC tournament.

I will worry about replacing the coaches in the off-season.

Sorry for the slow reply, just saw this... funny post, really quite comedic.... keep 'em coming......BTW, 2nd year Mean Green fan just to be accurate....Moreover, I am not a 1rst year sports fan. I think my 10-12 years of playing sports (mainly soccer, including playing for the Texas State Gold Team) as well as 30+ years of watching various non-college sports may generalize to the college level. Admittedly, I am not an expert in any sport, professional or college, b/c I have always approached them as a casual observer... But I can say that I have never been so involved in sports as I have since arriving at UNT.

Just to be clear after re-reading my post, I did not mean the school Texas State the college, but the state of Texas. We were a Texas "gold team" as they called them that played all over the place. They referred to us as the Texas State Gold Team.

Chris, you don't have to explain yourself to anybody. There are posters here that are probably too positive about things at times - but there are just as many that feel like giving up on a season at the first sign of trouble.

We are tied for 3rd in the West...just one game out of 1st. We have some wins over questionable competition, but also some quality wins thrown in the mix. We have yet to lose more than 2 games in a row...and that only occurred once. We've had a very good season so far by reasonable standards.

Yes, the season can still go either way at this point - but as much as I feared a collapse, AT THIS POINT that fear seems unwarranted. Alot of ball yet to play however.

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
