it looks like stewart is about to stuff that guy

Is that supposed to be Harold? It looks more like the Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.

And yes, I hope we can get that many people at the pit. All that green looks good!

I wouldn't worry too much. EA's simulation is off to a dreadful start.

It picked Texas Tech to go to the final eight, but the Raiders got beat by BC in the first game of the tournament. It also had Stanford beating Louisville, but Louisville won by twenty. And it had Maryland crushing Davidson, but Davidson gave them a very tough game.

I hope we can get that many people and that much green in the Super Pit next season!

I think it spot on with the posture of the North Texas crowd...seated and quiet.

Also, I notice Jared Zabransky is the coverboy for NCAA Football 08. Anybody else think less copies will be sold in Oklahoma than last year? :lol:

Couldn't be a truer statement. I sit in the student section across from the Pit Crew. I get really rowdy, jump out of my seat, yell at the refs and players, and generally make lots of noise. I was really uncomfortable doing all this when I first started attending games b/c everyone is so quiet and sits on their hands. Now, I just don't give a shite. I really hope we can turn the Super Pit into a game time atmosphere where the stiffs feel out of place, not the cheering fans.

its hard to stand up and get excited for a game when a certain group who didn't even attend half the games this season reserves the first 3 rows (which includes seats that my friends and I sat in starting w/ Texas College) for their little group.. Maybe if they made those seats first come / first serve fans wouldn't be so intimidated about coming close to the court and getting loud and rowdy.. just my opinion though..

Keith, i think this is the first time you and I agree on something.

I think we are having a moment.

So join up and do something about it. All you do is run your mouth. It's about time you put your words into action.

Oh, take away the two games over Thanksgiving and the few over Christmas, and we were at every game. Most of us were at the Pit Crew painting/tattoos/free stuff area. Why didn't you stop by?

That "certain group" pays a premium for those seats. It is the same at most ballparks where corporations buy up the good seats then don't attend. Unfortunately, they pay for that right. I don't agree with it, but that is the way it is.

No they don't. The Talons don't pay a dime for the right to sit on the front rows.

That being the case, do like I and a few others do. Go sit down there and be loud as hell. I don't think anyone has the audacity to ask me to move from there and they wouldn't because we instigate 90% of the cheers they do. Except for the "stand up" cheer...that one rocks and is all Talons.

I wasn't going to post this as most won't believe it. But this is true.... I was asked to hush and be quiet in New Orleans in the 1st half so that a lady NT fan sitting down one row from me and over 7 or 8 people from me could hear who a foul was called on. We were beating the 5th ranked team in the nation at the time. I couldn't keep my feet on the ground much less shut my mouth when we were on defense. Hope I didn't ruin anyone's experience from my actions... :rolleyes:

I don't see how you can be intimidated about coming close to the court and getting loud and rowdy just because Talons is down there. They are fans just like everyone else.

In fact I was the Talons representative in the revival of the Pit Crew. I met with the Athletics department and the SGA members and together we wanted to create a more inviting atmosphere to get more people to come to the games and sit with us and go crazy. This years student section obviously had a greater impact than last years. Last year I and the other Talons along a few hardcore fans were the only ones who sat in the student section. We brought back pit crew and brought in more and more people. In the first couple games with the Pit Crew things started getting a little more rowdy but not to the point where the stadium could hear us. It took leaders from SGA and Talons to get people to come down and get crazy, hence the Pit Crew purchased wigs and I myself donned the 1970s basketball uniform short shorts and all. From then on people began to fill in the seats.

There is no reason for anyone to be afraid of going crazy alongside the other crazy people. The point is we all go crazy in support for the team.

its not so much as being afraid as it is the talons reserving the first 3 rows for talons only.. I don't think the best seats in the student section should be reserved to a group that only started showing up once conference games started.. I am all for the talon's and their support of athletics, but if certain fans want to get close and get loud they shouldn't be forced to sit half way up the student section, knowing the players on the court can't hear you eliminates alot of the motivation to be on your feet and yelling the whole game..

If the players can not hear you, then you are not being very loud!!!

My 3 year-old boys were yelling "Who?" loud enough to be heard by the WKU bench when they were introducing their starting line-up and we were sitting near the top of the section.

I guarantee if the Talons would have tried to move my group three years ago when we went and took that spot it wouldn't have happened... Just go sit there and when they tell you to move don't... GENERAL ADMISSION PLAYER....sit anywhere

Didn't realize he was referencing The Talons. Makes perfect sense now.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      Oh I agree with the philosophy in general, just not how it's being executed currently. baring quick foul trouble or a dumb mistake, I'd prefer to not make any changes until at least the first 4 min timeout. let your starters find some kind of rhythm in the game. I've noted numerous times already this season of a player knocking down a shot or two and/or making a few key plays and then getting sat...Jossell in the McNeese loss leaps to mind, I know its happened to Dello a few times as well. I'm gonna assume Hodge's rationale is that at least the first few subs are scripted and he's asking so much of his team on the defensive end that he wants to keep a sharper rotation, but it feels a little extreme to me right now and not always in tune with the flow of the game/a player's night we're not quite approach Benford-esque line-changes (though maybe only b/c Hodge doesn't have ten players he trusts), but it's bugging me just as much

      Interesting difference between Ross and Eric Morris: Ross’ best player struggles all game, Ross designs a play for him to redeem himself at the buzzer, we win. Morris’ best player, DT Sheffield, struggles all game vs. East Carolina, Morris sits him first three plays of final drive (what?!) then puts him in on 4th down and he is no factor: we lose.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      The team is 5-1 with wins against Minnesota and Oregon State. Ross knows what he is doing. Experienced guards win college basketball games. There is no incentive to develop players at North Texas anymore. Either these young guys are good enough to crack the 8/9 man rotation or they are not. If you start playing more guys than that then your BEST players get pissed about their playing time and that can mess with their effort and winning chemistry. Christian Moore had several years to crack the regular rotation here and couldn’t do it. Ross sees Vice in practice every day. If he helped us win more than Sissoko or Newell, I guarantee he would be playing. As for Layne Taylor, if Ross offered him, he must be good. But he is putting up points on a lower level 2-4 team that lost to BYU and Utah by 40 points each. If he keeps playing well and knows how to hustle on defense, he might get promoted to the big leagues in Denton for his junior and senior seasons.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      Sadly we are likely going to be headed toward another complete roster overhaul regardless of him being here or not.
