I don't know why, but I flew by this station on the way home from work just long enough to hear Cocaine Greggo proclaim that Mike Canales was the luckiest man in college football because he didn't get the UNT job. Cocaine Greggo continued on to say that UNT threw good money after bad in building the new stadium and that the head coaching job at UNT was the worst job in the nation. Then he said that no coach could ever win at UNT. When his sidekick reminded him that UNT had won 3 conference championships earlier this decade (yes, I know, but the poor sap was defending us), it was clear that cocaine Greggo had never heard about our conference championships, or that the cocaine induced haze of the mid 2000 had erased it from his memory.

It was pretty humorous, because it was clear he had no idea what he was talking about. Unfortunately, thats because I have a knowledge base on what is going on with UNT Football. Those out there who don't (all three of them that listen to this station) have now been giiven an ignorant opinion of our football program.

It would have been even better if he reminded him that we had 4 conference championships this decade.

Actually, our pals at The Ticket broadcast SMU football. Greggo is long gone from the good guys!

You know Rick, you are such a kind and positive person. Except for D & M, and to some extent the hard line, the Ticket is pretty worthless too.

I don't find any of them interesting for very long. The Ticket has some sports mixed with mostly what they call "guy talk." But their version of guy talk is more along the lines of what tween boys would say while they are still too shy to talk to girls.

ESPN has a formula and that is what they do every chance they can. It's really simple: one person takes an incredibly extreme view on a topic, so far out there only a tiny number of fans might agree. Then a second takes the moderate view, but he never says a lot. The second is the "straight man" setting up the extreme guy's crazy comments. If there is a third person, he takes an equally extreme but opposite view to the first. People are driven to call in since the moderate guy appears unable to express himself and the extreme guys say outlandish things just to get a response. ESPN does talk more about - more accurately around - sports than the Ticket.

Listening to the Fan I get the feeling they aren't yet certain what they are going to do. There is some aping of the Ticket, but not all the time. The few times I've heard them try the ESPN formula it is obvious the extreme guy doesn't actually believe what he is saying and it won't work if the extreme guy can't act. The Fan had an advantage in that CBS/Infinity can dump tons of cash into buying the Cowboys and Rangers et al and between the games with post and pre game shows lots of people will spend a lot of time listening.

That theory cannot be proven.

One opinion of Gregg'os tirade at UNT which I just happened to be listening to when he went off on the air:

Firstly, when Greg Williams was on The Ticket he used to praise UNT almost any time the subject ever came up (which was rare on the Hard Line). When we were regaining D1-A in 1994 he was especially complimentary of North Texas and its bright future. Heck, you'd thought the guy was a UNT grad or something.

Secondly: Greg Williams knows we have a huge network of NT alums and Mean Green fans in the DFW Metroplex most of whom have radios? :) His present station has a promo saying "we know we used to suck but give us a new shot" or something to that affect so Greggo and company are trying desparately to get new listeners and Greg Williams knows if he can piss of the Mean Green Nation fan base he will get some listeners.

His tirade yesterday was partly because no one was calling in at all to talk to the guys--it seemed most obvious he was trying to egg some of our fans on to call in and it seems that none did while I was listening and I sure as hell didn't. B)

Ratings, folks, it's all about ratings...

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
