Thanks UNTLifer. I did talk to the people today from my hall that were not excited last night and they enjoyed it and plan on going again!!!

I am not sure what the attitudes were from the other halls going into it, but they were rowdy enough that I would assume that even if they did not want to go, they ended up having fun...It sure does help that we have a good home basketball team, because when the university really advertises the games to the students, and they come see us win, they want to come back. I honestly believe you will see a lot of those people back to more games. RHA is having another night on the 17th of January with all of the students moved back in. Go Mean Green!!!

Good news. It's amazing what a winning and exciting product will do towards putting BIS!

MG Matt, do you know why about halfway through the second half a large group of students got up and left?

I'm glad that somebody is trying to get the students involved. I think at the same time we need to make an effort in the community. If I were involved in the decision-making process at all, I'd be going to the city about hanging a banner over I-35 at the North Texas Boulevard overpass for every game day. It would read something like:

Men's Basketball Tonight - 7:00 PM!

Tickets $7 and up!

Go Mean Green!

A $500 banner could increase total attendance by 10,000 for the season

I think that a lot of people left to go watch the BCS or "BS" championship game...whether they would have stayed or not had that game not been on I don't know. I do know that the requirement to be there, sort of ran out at that time. If we were up by less than 20 that mightve helped as well. For instance, the Ok St. crowd at least from what I could tell, did not diminish in the second half.

We have a shot at the Sun Belt again this year, and the athletic department needs to advertise it as such. The sign on I35 is a great idea, and I don't see why Denton would complain. We really should be getting crowds of at least over 4000 with the team we have. Look for a larger average of students this spring starting Saturday, as tomorrow the residence halls open up again. GMG!!

      ‘26 S Ricky Giles - SOC

      It's never my intent to beat up on a kid publicly. I'd rather read both the pro's and con's of a kid; instead of the usual "superlatives" only of a recruit. (Funny how we never see a bad Hudl) In fact, I generally discount about 25% of what I read about our recruit(s); depending on source. I'm a little more familiar with Giles having followed his HS career at SOC. Purdue came by the school last year and offered damn near the whole defense when Ricky was a soph. (About 10 mid-high majors came by this week) As you may be aware, schools are reneging more and more on high school kids that they may have offered early. Not saying that they may have pulled their offer but I would not be surprised. Purdue has brought in 3 safeties during this portal period. (lost 2) with a total 31 transferring in. Many of the top P4 programs generally don't lose this many. The movement of kids up and/down in the portal just proves to me that there isn't much difference (P4 vs P5) in talent outside of the top 20-30% of the roster. I'm ok with Giles but like to see more urgency to win now with portal kids than high school kids. (Unless they are "Elite)

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      Baseball would be more than another sport. It is a spectator/revenue sport, unlike track, tennis, swimming and golf. We need something in the spring, more than softball, to engage fans back to campus. Fans are becoming more detached from actually attending sporting events at the school = less interest = less donations. If we're not going to market better for football and basketball at least have another sport in spring to lure fans to come back.

      Rule Changes to NCAA Football

      I hate how long instant replay takes in all sports that use it. Instead of waiting for certainty before making a call, they should look at replays for a set amount of time. When that time runs out, treat it as "the call stands."

      And you followed that up with back-to-back losing seasons and are a hair above .500 this season. We followed it up with a 31 win season, a 19 win season, and are well on the way to another winning season. I respect what y'alls football program has accomplished recently but your basketball program has been sputtering in neutral. Much like our football program. I wouldn't call your basketball a strength right now.
