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.

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.

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...

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.) :D

      This guy can coach

      The current Leadership at UNT would have never considered this guy when he was cheap enough to hire here and clear he could coach (near end of tenure at Elon or his start at James Madison). I will tell you why. 1. Not no ties to Texas or Big 12 after 1990. 2. Not a well known “Air Raid/Spread Guru” All this makes me wonder does our athletic department do after action report on football coaches that end being very successful at programs that aren’t historically successful. I think it would be extremely helpful doing that for coaches we passed on or never got on our radar but maybe should have during a HC transition. If I were hired as AD, other than a budget review, reviewing our hiring processes for Football head coaches and the “ones who got away” would be my first order of business. If Eric Morris completes his time here without winning a bowl game or conference championship and extensive review of everything we do that setups our football program to win should be reviewed.

      Speaking of…Magic Mike Norvell just fired his OC, DC and WR coach. Would we be interested in any of them?
