i actually wanted to do this last night but realize how raw a home message board is following a loss so opted to wait until today.

i've felt for years we're the only two programs in the belt that understand hoops much less gives a crap about them.

so it was with much happiness that i saw the 2 of us in the championship game....again. i really wanted to drive the 467 miles yesterday morning to be there but work wouldn't permit so i watched it on the tube.

both teams had great recruiting classes. the top 2 in the belt.

both teams had devastating incidents mid-season.

you guys lost 2 absolute studs. we got rid of dead weight by firing the worst coach in western kentucky history. even though ours was addition by subtraction nobody expected ray to turn it around as quick as he did.

the guys were out of shape. george fant lost 11 pounds the first 2 weeks ray coached us.

you guys bounced back even after losing the 2 freshmen. made it all the way to the finals. tony mitchell is as fine a player as i've seen in the sun belt conference. not freshman...player. part of me wants you guys to keep him one more year but another part wants to see him go to the association.

even if you lose him there are bright days ahead for north texas hoops. i certainly feel with ray harper at the helm we have bright days ahead too.

i assure you this is no flame post and i sure as hell wouldn't be congratulating the middle folks if they had won it.

good luck in the new conference. i'll miss the mean green. we'll be the only team that remotely gives a crap about hoops.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Daily had three runs near the 50 all game and all 3 came with the game at 7-3 and before the 4th quarter. Are you're really suggesting they were draining the clock up 4 with 20+ minutes to go instead of expanding their lead to two possessions? Our defense was not shut down, sure. No G5 defense really ever is against the service academies if you think death by paper cut for 10 plays without allowing a score doesn't count. Your statements that our defense couldn't force turnovers for long periods of play and even lucked out on a fumble are asinine. Army doesn't committ foolish turnovers. They've had 3 turnovers all year, 2 of which were this past Saturday in Denton. That's not luck. You don't want to give credit where it's due and that's fine. I'll move on to next week. You can keep ignoring the jobs our defense and special teams (sniffed out the fake punt) did. If our offense were truly elite, we'd have at least scored 1 touchdown. Couldn't even do that.

      Why were the concession lines so damn long?

      I think the problem with the line that I was in was how slow the concession workers were. It took 3 to 5 minutes for each costumer. I assumed everyone was ordering chicken cordon bleu or something. Then I got my turn and had to wait 3-5 minutes for a diet coke, a bag of popcorn, and a beer.

      This guy can coach

      The current Leadership at UNT would have never considered this guy when he was cheap enough to hire here and clear he could coach (near end of tenure at Elon or his start at James Madison). I will tell you why. 1. Not no ties to Texas or Big 12 after 1990. 2. Not a well known “Air Raid/Spread Guru” All this makes me wonder does our athletic department do after action report on football coaches that end being very successful at programs that aren’t historically successful. I think it would be extremely helpful doing that for coaches we passed on or never got on our radar but maybe should have during a HC transition. If I were hired as AD, other than a budget review, reviewing our hiring processes for Football head coaches and the “ones who got away” would be my first order of business. If Eric Morris completes his time here without winning a bowl game or conference championship and extensive review of everything we do that setups our football program to win should be reviewed.
