There wasn't a damn thing wrong with your Kingsbury thread... And it actually was very relevant to North Texas...in that he (Kingsbury) being one of if not THE nations top offensive coordinator, who had just coached up a Hiesman Trophy, yet accepted a 4 year contract to head coach at a Big 12 school.

This is startling when you consider that officials at North Texas constantly repeat the assumption that we could NEVER get such an assistant coach without Head Coaching experience.....even one straight from a HIGH SCHOOL...to come here for less than 5.

So, tell us all again how any of that is anywhere even remotely related to NT football except in your own mind? The way you connect the dots is only to make another one of your many negative comments. Kingsbury took his dream job at Tech. Have you even read his comments about this situation? If there ever was someone who always sees the glass as half empty it might just be you...or the infidel...seem to be pretty much one and the same....you think?

It's related in that Tech got him to sign a 4 year deal where we thought we had to give a HS coach with no college head coaching experience a 5 year deal. Letting Dodge stay for the 4th year so we only bought out 1 year of his contract absolutely damaged this progam.

This is absolutely correct.

I know a 5 year deal is the standard, but Dodge wasn't a standard coach. Set this program back 10 years.

Like you always connect the dots in a relevant way. And BTW, you still haven't learned the difference between critical and negative. I'll give you a hint.....they are not the same.

      It's just a rhythmic chant..."Welcome To The Pit!"....that as you're yelling it....you're pumping your fist in the air, to go along with the words. Used to be done in the 70s and 80s. You do it once the game is in hand...

      UNT Basketball Wins Fifth Straight With 77-64 Win Over FAU

      DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball remained undefeated at home with a 77-64 win over Florida Atlantic at the Super Pit Sunday. Moulaye Sissoko recorded his second double-double of the season and third of his career on 14 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. Sissoko has now scored double-digit points in four consecutive games, extending his career-long streak. North Texas (15-4, 6-1), who trailed by seven at the half, scored 50 points in the second half to earn its fourth come from behind win of the season. It’s the most points UNT has scored in a half against a conference opponent since scoring 55 against Rice on Dec. 29, 2018. “I give coach [John] Jakus and his staff a lot of credit, they came in with a big spirit,” UNT head coach Ross Hodge said. “I thought with eight minutes to go in the first half, we started getting a little more active, started getting some more turnovers and cut into the lead.” The Owls (10-10, 3-4) got their early lead behind Kaleb Glenn, as his 11 points at half led Florida Atlantic to the 34-27 lead at the break. UNT’s offensive explosion in the second half was led by Brenen Lorient, who built upon his five points in the first half with 12 in the second half. The Mean Green also took care of the ball as they finished with 10 assists and just five turnovers on the day. The Mean Green took the lead at the 11:07 mark of the second half on a Sissoko jumper and did not look back. Lorient finished with 17 points, his 11th double-digit performance of the season. Atin Wright also scored 17 points, going 4-8 from 3-point range. Sunday’s win also ends a five-game losing streak to FAU and is North Texas’ fifth straight overall win this year, which is a season best. They are now 11-0 at home for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Next up, North Texas heads to Wichita State on Wednesday at Koch Arena. The contest tips off at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sports Network presented by Learfield.

      Man, Moulaye Sissoko has been the man lately. Goes 14/13 today, plays the most minutes and is a beast in the paint. Flour was also terrific, but the big guy kept us in the game early and was so solid all night.
