So the Ticket almost denies their strong ties to the school for years. Now, let us get a top 5 draft pick playing bball for us and all of a sudden they care about our hoops program. That angers me deeply.

Don't let it. If it is the catalyst for greater things, celebrate it. It is not hypocrisy, it's the way the media works. We have a great player that is so good, so incredible, he cannot be ignored.

You can either choose to be angry at the media, or know that Tony really is that incredible.

If best case scenario happens, Tony takes us to the S16 or beyond, and we become top 20 regulars, than this season can be considered one of many stepping stones. In a sense, it is a tale of Mean Green overcoming a media bias.

More like it's a fill in show struggling for a week's worth of content. Calm down bro.

To piggyback on what Miner said, blame the market they broadcast to. NT Athletics talk has never been damanded by them. Hear much Rangers talk 4 years back? Or how about the Mavericks in the late 90's?

It's actually a good thing they are talking about us. And it's not because John in Frisco wants to hear about us, but because we're worth talking about. That's much better.

And just maybe, the AD of UNT strung this together. Wouldn't that blow some minds?

I hear Jub talking up UNT as much as possible.

The VERY SAD reality is... other than the people on this message board, and maybe a handful of others, no one wants to hear about UNT athletics. If there were long stretches of UNT athletics talk, UT-T-shirt-fan-guy would turn the channel, and they don't want that...

Why are you "angered deeply"? Would you rather they not talk to Benford at all?

I remember Corby saying "I'm interested" referring to NT football after the Ball State win. That quickly faded back to nothingness after a few more weeks when it was apparent it wasn't the Ball State team of the previous year.

it doesn't actually anger me. I was being facetious. They do need to replace Race Week with an hour of UNT sports though. The Green Guys show on 88.1 is terrible.

Heck yeah! I'd listen. But I bet there are more NASCAR fans who listen to Race Week than would listen to a UNT show. Does SMU or TCU have their own shows on 104.1, 103.3, or 105.3?

Win at football and/or basketball consistently, and maybe the interest would be there.

      Honest tactical question here…

      As I’m halfway into your podcast, your buddy brought up a really good point about the offense. Maybe some plays are not well schemed. Feels as if they’re utilizing multiple guys as decoys only to free up space for the main target. Once defenses gets a read on that, they key in on that main receiver and shut it down before it can ever get started (see DT). And, I’ve noticed they barely run any play action. If they do run it, it looks half-assed where no one falls for it. Basically, it’s been predictable. Predictability makes it easier to scheme against…and here we are.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      We brought in Littrell 2.0, except Littrell had enough strings to pull Phil Bennett off his couch when he needed him. I guess we’ll see what kinds of strings Morris can pull. He doesn’t seem nearly as connected.

      What is this program missing?

      Voluntarily stepping down to a lower level will have the same disastrous results as when we stepped down to 2A. Everyone talks about that being a huge disaster that killed everything and set us back decades, now people are wanting to repeat the same thing? We are in the AAC. Tulane, Army, Memphis, USF, Navy get national credit when they win, we just have to be a championship level team in this conference to get that same recognition. We need to put an athletic administration that can make the right hires, and raise funds to support the program. Stopping now will undo 30 years of work.

      It'd be one thing if we had some elite scoring options getting minutes but we don’t. We have a clear hole in the post and clearly need more scoring off the bench. I fear we'll finish around 18-20 wins like last year when I think this team could do better. I really hope I'm wrong.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      This conversation was never about how much baseball could earn or lose or whatever else, the point still stands our athletic budget is significantly greater than other AAC schools who have fired their head football coach. Those schools can somehow afford to do other things we somehow can't. Baseball was just an example.
