I think Channel 8 led with us on their sportscast tonight. I came in a few seconds into Dale Hansen's sports, but he was talking about the win and showing highlights. At the very least, we were near the top of their sportscast. So kudos to Dale.

Channel 11, however, buried us. Babe Laufenberg led the sports with a story on Saturday's boxing match at Cowboys Stadium, followed by a story on the Mavericks (who did not play tonight), and then a story on UT spring football practice. That's right, a f'ing story on f'ing UT f'ing spring f'ing football f'ing practice. Then they talked about North Texas.

Didn't see what 4 or 5 did.

Channel 8 had us as the 2nd story but still good coverage

5 led the sports with the Mean Green

4 had us as the 2nd story

11 had us as the 37th story after the conteversial Paul Quinn College shuffleboard quarterfinal loss and right before the piece on paint drying at the new UT indoor beer pong practice facility.

Do local news channels put nightly sportscasts online ever? I'd like to see some of the coverage. I was busy chowin' down on a bowl of cereal and watching beerfest and forgot to watch... damn capn crunch.

Let me see what I can do.

We've got a lot of on court pictures of the celebration. At least 3 or 4 should give you great material to work with.

If I don't email you by Friday, call or email me and I'll get them to you.

Babe Laufenberg is the worst sportcaster ever, so suprised he has a job in sports.

He was the worst Dallas Cowboys player ever.....

Total douchebag, in the same category with Skip Bayless

Laufenberg is one of the classiest guys in the wide world of sports. You're way off base here.

And the sports department at CBS is run by a very hard core North Texas alum/fan. Can't speak to the content of tonight's show... But I know that the man in charge of that department hustled to get press credentials for a CBS representative at this event.

Well, that's good to know. I've never met Babe, but his on screen personality screams total douchery. Dude is super annoying to me....

      Mountain West looking to add NIU/Toledo

      When CUSA last imploded both schools were invited to join the MAC as a package. WKU was all in, MTSU was not so they were both stuck in CUSA. N. Illinois , certainly much to my surprise, is moving to the MWC , who might be in the market for another football only school. The MAC bylaws require their members to place all their sports in the conference so unless they are changed N.Illinois must find a new home for their 'others." U.Mass is rejoining the MAC so they probably will stand pat. I think the N.Illinois victory over the Fighting Irish may have gone to their head plus their fans are tired of weeknight games that make it hard to attend for those who live out of town.

      A Volleyball Coach To Consider??

      Hodge has us more than middle of the road in the AAC. We are definitely in the top 3. If it was not for a bad shooting night for our two top scorers against Memphis, we would be at the top.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      I can't disagree with anything you're saying if ACC comes poaching and we're sitting here with Rice, Tulsa, and ULM/LAT as our most local conference peers. If that is the case, and it's a somewhat likely scenario, we need to be looking into the PAC as a viable option and not hush-hush turning them down. If anything, we probably should be lifting our skirt a little bit to keep it open as an option.

      Power Conferences making their move to take full control

      Seems the b10/sec are so worried about making sure they generate the absolute most revenue versus their peers that they’ve lost sight of what excites people about college sports in the first place. Until one of them relents and settles for setting caps in spending, and potentially sharing revenue, I don’t see how this changes. I think that the power brokers believe that most current fans will just adopt their local big state or closest big brand and continue to follow college sports. Time will tell if they are right. For me, I will not. If it gets to the point where UNT no longer has a chance to be in the pool, my interest will evaporate overnight. Maybe they don’t care and assume that enough will that they’ll keep growing their own brands and revenues.

      ‘26 S Ricky Giles - SOC

      Appreciate the insight and agree about how we pick our HS recruits. the potential upside is that he apparently has a Purdue offer, so a solid Power gig thinks highly enough of him, too, to bring him in.
