Have you seen the returning team Benford has?!?!?!?  What was that Mark Twain quote? "The Report of his death have been greatly exaggerated"  Benford has not been all that up to this point, but we only graduated 3 players, (1 starter, and 1 with playing time) and have a great, young team coming back...  Before you hammer the guy, at least come out and see what he has....

Remind me, is this 2012 or 2016?

I thought this post was a joke after reading the first sentence. After depressingly reading the rest I'm going tap submit reply after typing this sentence and angrily stare at this bush I'm parked in front of.

So, is all that talent going to organize and coach itself? Benford ain't the one to get it done. Seeing me at a game sometime will be when Benford is no longer coaching at UNT.

We won't be talking anytime soon. And if this is your prerequisite for friendship, be prepared for loneliness.

More of a Sidewinder fan, myself. I recommend the brewery tour. Band. Big outdoor area. Good times.

He can recruit but he cannot coach, a good coach does not lose by 30.  I would go out on limb and say we don't win the title next year.   He has been out coached by teams with a lot less talent.  Sorry year four will be the same as the others, a big disappointment.

i thought about after i sent the message. I would trade coaches with OU any day of the week.

I am wrong on everything.  I don't think any coach should be given a five year contract, four at the most because that gives him a chance to build his team.  If he sucks in year four most likely he will suck in year 5.

I think you're missing the point (see below)

He had the dream team in year 1. There was no building!

"Best men basketball UNT has ever seen" I believe were RV's words.

He inherited a very talented (and experienced?) team.

What if they've already been out within the past 4 years, did not like what they saw, screamed, then chose not to come back? Do they have a right to an opinion or just the folks that sit through all 4 dreadful seasons?

Were you still positive at the end of that 32 point home ass-whipping Southern Illinois dropped on us? Why would the haters need to see a single game last year? Maybe they've already seen Benford lead one of our most talented teams in history to a 12-20 record and didn't care to watch the rerun.

Watched some games.

We do have some talent. Very much so. And more talent coming in.

I don't take issue with our student athletes.

I went to 7 or 8 home games. After the WKU game I'm done and will continue to be done going to bball games until Benford is gone.

When your screaming is ignored, especially for what will be 4 years, you simply stop caring and walk away.

I call it the Villarreal effect.

So, quick question, since I live 6 hours away, and my trips home don't always coincide with home games, can I talk, or am I not a good enough fan?

I got sucked in and had season tickets in year 1.  I saw first hand in year 1, the man can't coach.
