Texas A & M (12/7/09)

CMJ · December 5, 2009

Aggies are ranked #22 and might be even higher when the game is tipped off. Can we pull a stunner? It's the last game we have before Conference starts, so hopefully even if we lose we get some stuff figured out.

This game needs to be on T.V. I remember a few years ago we came within a shot of winning the game. hopefully we can have a chance at the end.

It is on Fox Sports Southwest.

This is a HUGE one game stretch! The entire season, and Johnny's job, is probably on the line.

Last time we beat a ranked team ?

I believe 1997? I think when we beat Pacific in Michael Olowokandi's Sr season they were at the bottom of the Top 25.

Realtime RPI has us losing this by 18

I'd love to, but I don't see it being close. I drank all my kool-aid during football season.

Oh, I don't think we'll win, but I think we can play well. In a way the Rice game was good for us, because A&M is a grinding team. Won't be surprised if A&M doesn't score more than 55 and still beats us by 10+.

I can be happy keeping a game close to a national ranked basketball team , but I don't see how some can be happy losing a close game to 2 win teams in conference football games

We have enough talent on this team but we need to play at our max or have them not play well. A&M did have a tough couple of weeks and you could tell by the way they played akron.

On another note I think Hogans is gona have a break out year next year. Him having to sit out and watch seems to be killing him. I think he is finding a new love for basketball. Just talking to him and seeing him on the bench makes me think that he will use this year to learn and don't be suprised if he comes back in great shape.

Yeah, I think we are going to miss Hogans this year. Hopefully the young talent can make up for it to a certain extent. Holmen is very talented, and I hope that JJ uses him in the best way possible.

Not much talk about us thus far over in Aggland. Me thinks they're not taking us too seriously. Let's prove 'em wrong.

If A&M were playing Stanford or Steven F. Austin, they'd get killed.

Against us? They'd better be concerned.

Still B-M-W, even on the basketball board ?

The only way we have chance is if our guards find their shot and our big men have a great game... it will need to be a coordinated, fairly error free game with great play from everyone... one or two players with a stand out game will not cut it.

Is his job on the line? I would think his job would be safe. Hell we still have Todd Dodge so my guess is that Johnny Jones is the golden boy of UNT coaches.

One of our comedy bits from last year is that his job is on the line before every game.
