The Haven On The Game

[MeanGreen61]

In the second half of last night's game, North Texas amped things up. They turned it up to 11, and I'm not sure if our amp even makes it to 10. That's the disgrace of the entire thing. North Texas has far better athletes than Western. I never thought I'd write that line, and it hurts me to do so.

The second half really bothered me. NT had so many backdoor dunks. They took the swaddling off the baby and exposed its ugliness to the entire world. Bless Western's little hearts. Western's players looked lost on the court, and I could recognize how they were flattening out our defense, lining up like jets in a holding pattern, and then beating us to the basket. No wonder no one recognized six players on the floor for ULL because no one on Western's team seems to know where offensive players are on the damned court. Terrible. North Texas players walked down the baseline like they were walking alone in a park.

AND........ Calm The Heel Down.......

i shouldn't even get on this board following a game. especially not a loss.

i actually follow teams other than us. north texas has been counting the days to tony mitchell's eligibility since he came there from missouri.

that's what a top 20 in the country player looks like. you won't see them very often in this conference. this is only his 9th game with the team and they're getting used to him.

he's elgrace wilborn but more athletic. and shoots from distance like a 3. i think he's got some punk in him but when people been sucking your **** since you were 12 years old that happens sometimes.

jordan williams, a freshman, basically has derrick gordon type numbers on the year.

chris jones as a freshman is leading our conference in scoring.

i did not expect a win down there. we didn't get one.

johnny jones is a veteran coach that knows how to put a squad together. he should have taken them to the ncaa last year if not for a miracle 3 at the buzzer.

Wilborn is a name that brought back some memories.

Found this gem:

It was ugly. If you through the video of that game into a farm pond, you could skim ugly off the top for three or four days. Southern women often end up in a conundrum. They can neither lie nor say that a baby is ugly, so when they see an ugly baby they say, "Bless its little heart." While watching the game my proper Breckinridge County bred wife said, "Bless Western's little heart." Ooof! That means it was U-G-L-Y.
