Glenn Guilbeau needs to open a book and do some Research

First off

I'm glad he noted LSU has an Open weekend on Oct 4th guess UNT will have to rescheduled whatever they had planned for that weekend.

Second I found this quote could have been phrased a little better

"Apparently, North Texas will also play wherever LSU tells it to play."

Now does the "apparently" mean that we don't have a say in the matter? that as Glenn calls us an "it" school.

What is "it"?

I don't find it disrespectful, but I didn't find the DRC blog from this weekend offending either. What would look worse for our program, playing the game, or refusing to play the game where LSU officials chose to play it? I would say the latter would look the worst.

So what if LSU chooses to move the game to Oct 4th. Also what about the fact if they move the game to Atlanta. LSU just turned a bus ride into a plane ticket. Guess we should just give in and upgrade to that to save face???

If this is a bit - you are a genius.

The problem with Oct 4th is that we have a home game. We aren't going to move our entire scheulde so that we can play them. They can make this weekend work, so we played the game when scheduled.

Actually we did exactly that a couple of years ago, under similar circumstances.

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
