North Texas has a big recruiting weekend ahead for its football program, so Gaines will not attend Montana State's "home" game at Sam Houston State.

He's hoping both the Bobcats and Montana, which plays Northern Iowa on Friday, win their quarterfinals and stage a rematch in the national semifinals next week. He says it will be hard to keep him from that game.

"You can't even explain how excited I am for those kids to be able to go back to Texas and play a game like this against a great team like Sam Houston," Gaines said.

"It's absolutely killing me I can't go. I have a big recruiting weekend this weekend and can't come. I'm going to be rooting for them."

Gaines was mentioned on the SHSU-MSU broadcast yesterday. The announcers were talking about the number of Texans on the MSU roster & Gaines was given the credit for recruiting them. They also stated that Gaines had moved on to North Texas.

Gaines recruited Denarius McGhee (sp?), qb from Euless Trinity to Montana State, who has done quite well there, even putting up good numbers in a losing effort against SHSU. I hope he can make use of any connections he made at Trinity and snag some good ones for North Texas.

It's going to be hard to hang on to Gaines. Hope he stays here for a long time

I hope so too.

Anyone who can talk Texas players into playing for an FCS program so far away from home, SHOULD be able to talk them into coming to North Texas.

Or is apathy harder to overcome (recruitment-wise) than distance? I hope not.

      Is Robinson recruiting?

      Nah... not N word. But I called him woke from the jump... And his skin color ain't got shit to do with it as we all know white liberal women are the worst of the woke... It's his past of putting together a group think organization of black only (<---woke give away) big 12 assitant coaches during the George Floyd drug overdose.... any group that intentionally segregated itself off the basis of race is within itself racist by virtue. But you very well may be of the walks of life that state black folks can't be racist. Which is absolute BS. Are these "opinions" taboo? Not sure. Don't care.

      honestly, why don't y'all just use the n-word at this point? everyone knows you're saying the same thing and not doing so is, ironically, just being woke. really surprised that it took this long, but here we are.

      1977 interview with Bill Blakeley

      This was great. As is always the case, the more things change, the more they stay the same. We never could get SMU or really any of the old private SWC schools to support us in any way, in football or basketball. I know that UH didn't exactly help the case for us being in the SWC, since they came right into the league and handled the competition rather easily, for the most part, from 1976-1985. I love Hayden Fry and Bill Blakeley, but their biggest mistake wasn't seeing that the Big Eight was their best play. They could've used the Big Eight coming into Texas as their power move to get some SWC sway. But in reality, if we had gotten into the Big Eight in the late 70's, we had premier college brands in Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Colorado, as well as some solid OSU teams, to host. And in hoops, Kansas, KSU, Mizzou, Iowa State, and Oklahoma were all big national brands. Imagine seeing Barry Switzer, Tom Osborne, Bill McCartney, Larry Brown, Roy Williams, Norm Stewart, and Billy Tubbs leading their squads in games in Denton in the 80s, while SMU and TCU were hosting a dying contingent of SWC teams in those two sports?

      Is Robinson recruiting?

      My son is a Mean Green Maniac and I support UNT basketball. The last 8 years have been fabulous. Thanks to all the coaches, players, and collectives that have made our success possible. Information that I have received tells me that all is not well with basketball. The standard for our programs is 20 win seasons. Womens team has coaching issues according to players I am told by my son. Mens team is now being coached by a Woke and DEI individual. Think not, look at his Wikipedia and do some research on him. That will not be successful with our donors. Cleveland State players will not win 20 games and Burton want either. Lost 5 starters...Wooten, Deck, Hardaway, and Duncan. My perspective, hope I am mistaken.
