Well, there were probably about 12 of us who showed up last night to welcome the team back to Denton. They arrived aboard three buses about 1 AM. I think the the players were all pretty surprised about it by the look on their faces, and most of them said as much. FFR cued the fight song over the speakers in his truck as they got off the buses. RV was very appreciative and personally thanked everybody who was there for coming. I would list everybody who was there to greet the team, but I do not want to take a chance of leaving somebody out. You know who you are, and thanks for being there. It was a great time in this season for players and fans alike. GO MEAN GREEN!

It was great to hear some of the guys say" Thanks for not giving up on us." I think that is pretty telling about how they have been feeling. These guys want to win, and last night they didn't quit ,Congrats guys. Thats all we ask of you Play all out , Every Down, every minute and good things will come.

As for Coach Dodge, and a few other assistants, we guessed that they had gone home from the airport.

If they, indeed, went straight home...am I the only one somewhat bothered by this?

JayDub, at first, I thought the same thing. FWIW, Deloach was one who did not get off the bus either, and many on this board give him a pass for anything/everything (don't recall if you have or not, just saying). But, I chalked it up to maybe their wives met them at the airport on Friday when they left, so they rode home with them after. And then I also thought, what difference does it make, we were there to show our appreciation to the players. And nobody that came to greet the team, including Fire Fight'n Rick said a word a about it either. So, lets not be nit picky, and just enjoy a victory. But then everybody thought I was crazy for criticizing RV for not standing with Dodge and show some unity at the Pourhouse during the interview with Vito over the drug issue.

Meangreen Dub, can any body on this team do anything right? I mean can't you enjoy the victory, and give them a little break from the criticism? Regardless of who it was against, transition team or whatever, it was a win. And many here saw some improvement which is better than none. If you are so concerned where some of the coaches were last night, including the great Deloach, then why didn't you show up?

I had fun going out there last night. It was cool to meet a few more board members and put some faces to names. I think most of the players were in shock to see a group of fans greeting them back home. Maybe we could do this for every road win in the future? (Heres hoping to having several more this year)

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      So very true. I guess they use the same financial model as the WNBA. At least in "professional" sports they are salary control and caps. I am not faulting the players, but at some point, all sides are going to have to try and find a solution, or I don't see how many programs continue with football.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades
