I'm wondering what exactly has changed in the last few months to make the WAC think aiming for UNT and UL will work this time. Benson's been on our case since the Big West, one would hope he'd eventually give up.

Anyways, the WAC's invitation rejection hopes now rest on Cal Poly, UC-Davis, Portland State, Sacramento State, Sam Houston, Lamar and UMass. No word on whether they forgot to invite Colorado College of Mines or are just putting it off to make a bigger splash.

Enjoy the article.

The guy posting on the San Antonio site uses the name dmccarney - but you follow the links, you'll see that his first post is dated 07/21/10 - go figure.

The Hawaii Star Advertiser story mentions that Lamar just restarted football in 2010 after 20 years, but doesn't mention that UTSA still hasn't played a game. Does UTSA really expect to play I-A football in 2012? :unsure:

"In breaking news... University of Phoenix Online has been offered a place within the WAC...it has yet to be established if they will take the offer...more details to come"

In the press release it was stated that The University of Phoenix would only join the WAC if the WAC agreed to play all conference games online.

Benson is scrambling to save his job, nothing more, nothing less.

I would expect Osborn on campus a couple of days prior to the semester starting.

When are we seeing that nephew of yours on campus Valley Boy?

He is leaving for UNT the 10th & will overnight with friends at NW Miss on the trip out. His drive will only be about 825 miles. :blink:

If they add Arkansas State to UNT and UL...I say yes. Why not? We could soon dominate it, build rivalries, keep rivalries, and renew old ones (New Mexico State).

No! No! No! No!

Tell Benson to lose our phone number! What part of NO doesn't he understand?

The WAC used to have some attraction (but never on a financial basis) and is now a cadaver.

Well, that's a weekend road trip in Texas. It's only 945 miles from Texline, TX to South Padre.

Lookin' forward to having Brent join the Mean Green family, and yes, any other teammates of Brent's we should be aware of?

While they do not field a football team, they have a championship D&D team.

I think we need to stage an intervention for the poor man. He has a really serious problem and needs to face it.

Fellow Brazoria County-ite, DPP, they actually had a major intervention for KB, but those who were part of it are they themselves in the nut house because of Benson's dogged persistance.

Gotta' give the guy an A for "never give up" effort (I guess).

Who makes up the WAC today? Are UTSA and/or TxSt (SM) still going to be part of it or will the NCAA allow it? And La Tech? :sword::ph34r:

GMG!

But did he have an intervention from the infinite wisdom of GMG.com-ites?

Open letter to North Texas and ULL.

"Dear North Texas and Louisiana,

First off, notice that I called you Louisiana. I know you like that and I'm hoping it shows my sincerity. I've always thought you were both really cute and I just want one date. One stinkin date. What the hell, it's one date you stuck up bitc....but I digress. As you've probably noticed all of the attractive girls have left me and I've had to move into my parents' basement. I'm not too bummed though, I found UTSA and TSU-SM down there. They may not look like much but I'm told they are on the cusp of puberty...grass on the field, play ball right? Huh, right? Also, La Tech says that as long as you don't go around spreading it they are willing to do embarrassing things I won't go into here if you'll come on that date I've been begging for. I just wish they'd agree to get off of their knees until you come over...even I have shame. I hope you received the case of Zima and the jolly ranchers I sent over. After you drink them (and a little nibbling your earlobes) I think you'll come to see things my way and hate yourself in the morning be glad you did.

Sincerely,

Karl Benson Esquire"

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      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?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      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!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      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.
