Hartford @ North Texas

I watched Howerton snag about 10 rebound and make a great foul on the other end. He really showed up for the game.

I can't help but wonder if Wooden sitting out helped Howerton step up. Howerton has always played timid, but he knew he took Wooden's role and play much, much better.

I cant remember, what exactly are the details of the beth maries promotion?

However many points we score it's that percentage off if you mention the promotion.

FREE ICE CREAM. :lol:

i asked them while i was there and they said that was for football only.

maybe i missed it, but what is going on with collin dennis, why did he not play at all?

CMJ · December 8, 2007

They should change their commericals then...because it mentions "Johnny and the boys".

untlynchka · December 8, 2007

one more thing i wanted to ask you guys on here.

was it just me, or were the refs calling some really ticky-tack fouls. It almost seemed like they had it out for keddrick hogans. I actually felt sorry for the kid. I really like what he brings and hated to see him foul out.

Ankle injury. Jones said, during the post-game show, he should be back at practice by wednesday

He has a bad ankle.

untlynchka · December 8, 2007

they should change there commercial because technically they should be paying us to get ice cream.

Another thing... it is getting down right hostile (in a good way) for other teams at the Super Pit. The student section was relentless on the Hartford team and coaches again. Hell, they even went after their female trainer that was handing out water. My favorite chant of the day was "U-CONN RE-JECTS!" Our band went after their 10 or so fans, and it got personaaaaaal. One of the Hartford fans was telling a band member to come on over and fight him. At one point the Pit Crew called over a cop on the floor and were pointing to different people on the Hartford bench. The cop seemed to be listening to them, and I actually thought he was going to take action, but I'm not sure what happened b/c the game drew my attention back. I'm sure the Hartford players were sent packing with a few choice things to say about the Snake Pit....err..... Super Pit.

There were 2157 according to the box score. Not what I was hoping for, but it is better. Baby steps.

The students are holding up their end of the bargin with a good turn out once again (given that it is final's week). It is the season ticket holders that need to turn out in force.

CMJ · December 9, 2007

We didn't go over 2K in attendance last season till January 11th. So really...we have made alot of progress, since we have yet to fall under that number this campaign.

I think we might see real progress during the holidays and once conference play starts. I'm hoping we can average 3k plus when Sun Belt teams come rolling in to town.

The Pit Crew needs to do some real research on the players so they can really get in to their heads.

I spent an hour or so thismorning researching the Hartford team and it's players and coaches to see if I could find any dirt on any of them... Turns out the only thing I could find is that they have to play in that Godforsaken part of the country we call "up there in yankee country". Ill start my research process a little sooner before the game next time...

MCMLXXX · December 9, 2007

WFAA had film including Ben Bell's 3 pointer to end the half. Nice to get some local broadcast media coverage.

FirefightnRick · December 9, 2007

And was there a unified chant done during the game?

I'm pretty sure he hit a 2 to end the 1st half.

CMJ · December 9, 2007

Nope...it was a 3.

chrisfisher · December 9, 2007

I almost forgot... our Sunbelt Conference Championship and NCAA Tourny banners were no were to be found for this game???? What gives??? They were huge and looked very expensive. I hope they didn't remove them for good.

Good win. It would've been a shame to lose to an insurance company.

Hey, that's ok. We all talk smack - that's what loyal fans do. As for banners, you definitely have us there. Only our women and our wheelchair athletes have any banners, except for the one NIT banner from when Jimmy Carter was young, boring and irrelevant. (Editorial: He's not young anymore, but otherwise hasn't changed much.)
