What the hell is a homecoming????

Seriously. I've never seen a homecoming in my life. Not in high school, not in college. Totally new and foreign concept to me.

Point of fact, UC Irvine actually does have a Homecoming. It's paired with basketball though.

Actually I knew of it, but as far as I could tell, it was just a meaningless title on another basketball game. I never saw anything special or different about that day from any other.

No, I know that. There's a difference between that and the "hottest" tho. I saw my share of Bonfires - even the Chairman in 1999(so yes, I know very well what it was like to talk to Gus about the stack being way too big). But nothing, and I mean nothing, I ever saw was as hot as that one in 2001.

It was the hottest ever. It was also the hardest one to keep from being shut down. I had to promise Gus every day that I had things under control (and by "things" I mean Eric) that year when I was president.

He was mad at all 3 of us that semester. Eric because of the spools. You because he didn't think you had control over Eric. And me because he thought I was screwing up the construction.

You know they need to really bring this bonfire/ homecoming event to the forefront. I see so many schools with cool t-shirt designs and stuff for their events. I have never seen that with UNT. We have talenetd students, they should have a competition or something...

      WBB vs. Rice

      When Moore is hitting from the outside, it opens everything else up. This team is another "sharpshooter" and a replacement for Hardaway away from being unstoppable.

      I would say there are clearly 3 groups right now. The separation in some areas is minimal so some teams still have hope of climbing out of the cellar and into the middle of the pack, from the middle to the top 1/3 all the while the top tries to cling on to the top. This time of year is always the most interesting. It's a slow cement of authority for the top 1/4-1/3 to cruise the last month vying against themselves for tourney seeding.

      Yes CC Kid .. I noticed the same. Great effort - mostly in 2nd half. Slow starts have hurt. We can rule out a couple games, but this does seem to be fairly common. And you can see the diff. when it happens. just look a the NT vs Memphis mens game .. intense from the start and entire game focus affected. But hey, the teamsare doing really well this year !!

      PAC is back

      I grew up with "Eagles" and have never liked " Mean Green ", because we are not mean [look at our football record ] and not green [ we have an underfunded athletic department.] I agree with lack of media contracts as a deal breaker but don't know if we would want the travel required for all sports anyway. The BIG MOUNTAIN WEST podcast brought the subject up stating that the PAC and Texas State were in serious discussions and if they came then UNT or UTSA would be their next logical target so you may want to watch it. I don't have an opinion as I am really surprised that NIU joined the MWC for football only. According to the MAC bylaws you must have all your programs in the conference in order to be a member. Unless they change them then NIL's best option appears to be the MVC for all other sports but who knows.
