Two things:

1)We need to get Sam Houston State on the schedule apparently.

2)No Memphis on this list...no TCU or SMU either. laugh.gif

See NOTE: at the bottom of the page.

Still, SMU sux.

We played, and beat, Sam Houston twice last year if i recall correctly.

Just goes to show how little people around here give a bleep about our history.

Back in my day we didn't have a mid-major top 25, in fact nobody ever heard the term mid -major, we didn't even have a top twenty five we had a top twenty and we liked it, we played real basketball against really good teams and if someone was bleeding we didn't stop the game like we do today for the wimpy panty waists, we didn't have a fancy three point shot and some players still averaged 30+ points a game, we wore real shorts and not these baggy draws that hang below the knees like they do today, and only the top 32 teams went to the NCAA tournament, it wasn't like today where everybody gets a trophy and they whine and want more teams in...etc.

Did you walk 2 miles to school in the snow with no shoes, and uphill both ways when you were a little boy?

.If your spending upwards of $2.5 to $3 Million dollars

on your basketball program are you truly a "Mid Major"?

And check out the bottom of the list. ULL and ULM are

two of the poorest basketball programs in the nation. :o

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
