I'm torn. I will continue going to the games, and I will continue to affiliate myself to UNT. However, there is a certain part of me at this point that wants to see continued embarrassing blowout after embarrassing blowout because it should help accelerate what need be done. If we're competitive, or god forbid, actually win next week, it creates justification to keep this cart with no wheels chugging on down the road. I've been through this scheme of a completely inept and arrogant "program" before, and it was pretty devastating to the overall athletic program.

Never happen. Will be down by at least 35 at the half. I believe Dodge gets reassigned after Ark St. game and then gives his resignation. Don't see any other course that makes sense.

I've seen you make these types of posts the last few days. Do you have any inside information you'd like to share? B):ph34r:

Arkansas State's offense is better then MT's so we should be down more then 35 by the half.

That said, I could never bring myself to not cheer for our team to win. It's not fair to the players, especially the seniors like Casey. They deserve to go out with a win, and the fans' support.

Absolutely none, although Mandy has always been nice to me :) Just doesn't seem to be any other course. It's not like we have bcome competetive late in the year. 0 improvement. There will be 0 improvement next year. The AD is trying to fund a new stadium. The president has shown a fairly strong commitment to athletics. It just seems natural. Like I said before, I wasn't critical of Dodge on here till after this last game. I believe that RV and GB are on top of this and will make the decision that they deem best for UNT in the long run. Not calling for his head, just don't see how he survives.

I've been reluctant to be critical of Dodge too, thinking it will not help to turn the situation around. But after 11 games this years, with no real improvements occurring, mounting off the field issues, and hearing him state he sees no need for coaching changes to his staff, I am quickly losing faith. I wonder if administrators are thinking this too?

      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+.
