Ah, I get it now. That for sure makes you an expert, lol,

I'm a member of the SPCA, NRA, and I have window seats at McDonalds. I'm an expert at identifying BSers

Naw, you are just an expert at creating multiple screen names to talk to yourself.

But, that's kinda cool...

Dump Benford. Hire Kaspar.

Seriously, I am a big RV guy -- but if Benford isn't gona by the end of March he should be gone too. We are wasting some of the best talent we've ever had at NT. And I don't mean wasting it with sort of .500 season...but wasting it by having what is looking like a 20 loss season. I am all for giving new coaches slack, but this isn't the typical new coach coming in and trying to build up a program. This team was set for a great run.

We just got blown out by a 8-15 team by over 30 points. We lost to a Division 2 team this season. This is Trilli level bad guys.

What does it take to get fired around here?

HAHA! Another of your hundreds of fact based statements. I look forward to your next brilliantly supported (BS) insight on all things athletic.

You need to learn to differentiate your persona's a little better.

You are either Andrew/skiver or you are checkfacts/gl2greatness...I refuse to believe that we could have already gained another complete dumbass on this board trying to stand up for the mess we are seeing right now. Seriously, we surely couldn't have yet another person that thinks we made a hire that has worked out well for the university and its basketball team, right?

I'm going with Andrew/skiver. He always posts on this board. I've never seen CheckFacts over here, IIRC.

Haven't once said I support or don't support what's going on. I've just said bitch directly rather than being a bunch of complete dumbasses on a message board. Oh and by the way, at least support your argument with some level of fact rather than assuming you are right about it because you said it.

Oh, I haven't forgotten. But I also know these kids have family members MUCH older than 18 or 19 that would have been involved.

Like I said when everyone was freaking out after Johnny left, after we hired a new guy and that new guy talked to the players, all would stay. The argument could be made that if the current head coach could manage that, any coach worth his salt would have.

That is such a bogus reason for this hire, it's not even funny.

I didn't say it was the reason for the hire. But it was probably a consideration.

The reason for the hire was because Benford was a hot-shot, up-and-coming assistant coach who wowed everyone when he set foot on campus. He seemed qualified for the job at the time, and he's an ace recruiter to boot! It was a no-brainer! Only, now we see what we have.

It was not a no-brainer. He had no head coaching experience. That was pointed out at the time.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't argue with the final authority. He's a MGC member and has club seats. That provides full access to RV's thoughts, the coaching staf and the team.

Well, at least I contribute more than multiple screen names on a message board.

Your infatuation with me is cute.

No infatuation, just periodic amusement. Looking forward to the next bit of insight from your club seat.

You're correct. Although Shanice didn't seem to have everyone excited like Benford did (maybe it's just WBB apathy?), and didn't have the kind of talent to work with that Benford has.

Hindsight is 20/20 folks.

We've heard his credentials, now let's hear yours.

Um actually I don't recall anything from him regarding credentials Read my previous post. Able to identify BSers from afar...

I think by credentials, MeanMag meant this:

So, we are having a penis measuring contest? Ok.

MGC member and club seat holder, what about you, Skiver?

So...

Was this mis-understood, and if so, I'm curious as well.

Or, are you calling UNT90 a liar (bs'er)?

Nice. Read and comprehend the posts if you are able. Though I'm almost equal in stature, I'm not sure what being a MGC member or a football season ticket holder at any level has to do with being qualified to make uninformed statements.

So c'mon, I'm ready. I can take it. Looking forward to the abuse by all the "experts". Just remember, communicating directly and factually to decision makers is far more powerful than making uniformed ignorant statements on a message board.

Giving more, time or financially, buys you more access. More access allows more direct communication, which results in less frustration and bitching.

Soooo, give more & bitch less.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
