I was at a large real estate auction on Sunday at the DFW Westin Hotel in Irving, when the auctioneer started to announced the Denton property that was going to be auctioned off he stated, "If anyone wants to watch a very good basketball team at play they should buy this house and catch some of that good basketball that was being played at UNT" I was shocked, then suprised at what he said but it made me feel so proud of our team and my school.

Just thought I'd let eveyone know that UNT can really become the metroplex team and the metroplex has already started to take notice. I mean we have been around more than alot of other colleges in Texas, UNT founded in 1890.

If anyone has any similiar stories, try to share them on this post.

Of late, just merely wearing UNT gear/baseball caps, etc, etc, etc, (which many of us do on a regular basis) has produced numerous (and from total strangers)............ "Hey, yall have a good football coach with that Todd Dodge feller--he's going to be real good for your school's football program."

Couple of weeks ago, my wife's uncle came to our son's birthday party wearing a new green long-sleeve "North Texas" t-shirt.

Pretty cool, and totally unexpected.

The Saturday before the tournaments seedings were announced I was in Memphis whereing my t-shirt from the UNT/Memphis New Orleans Bowl game. When we we into Carabbas several people commented about the game and the basketball team. I suggested it would be ironic if we were matched up withj Memphis for the tourney. :lol:

Wow great story about you being in Memplhis during the pairings....

I went to Grapevine Mills a couple of weeks ago, and saw every single texas collegiate team in large supply for shirts and caps, but I have been looking for really nice NT cap for a while. I asked the guy where their UNT selection of caps were and he told me they were completely sold out. I told him before I left that you guys should supply more NT gear and you would see it sell better than all other state college teams. I bounced around the mall and ended up at Steve and Barry's and they had a huge allotment of NT t-shirts in stock at times, I was even suprised to see that all they had left was XXL. This was all way before the UNT BB Tourney Invite.

North Texas was the talk of metroplex while our BB team was representing the North Texas region at the NCAA tourney. Why were they the talk of the town, because they were the only team to represent this area in sooooooooo many years.

Team of the metroplex......

I'm glad all of the boys at the massage parlor got a chance to read a positive UNT post.

That's the first funny retort you ever had. +1, my friend, +1.

At our office, there is this little Philipino kid named Ijuay and when he read your post he was confused. We've been teaching him English for about 2 months now and we have him turn in this weekly writing reports. For every mistake, he is whipped by Rajin, our boss and landlord.

We let him read a few of your posts and he just started crying. When we asked why, he said "Mr. Quoner, this Playmaker, he must suffer more than all the tsunamis in the world." We whipped him for saying something that made no sense, but somehow he made his point. God bless that little freak and his magic hands of butter.

Anyway, let's just savor your +1 in peace.

      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

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.

      We're considered a mid-major I believe. P5 are Big 10, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Big East.
