Please tell me you aren't serious

...? You think we will lose by less? We did not look great tonight. I do like your optimism. I hope we beat OU but based on tonight we do not get close :/

Good job on the win Mean Green! 1-0

A win is a win, but we should have won by 20 plus. Last year this game was a lose so at least it is an improvement but if we do not change things we will lose to Oklahoma by 40 plus :/

People like to be negative. I left you a plus one on it.

Not what I meant by you not being serious.

We should beat the NAIA national champion by 30+. This was a team in it's second year of existence coming off a 4 win season in NAIA competition. This should've been a 50 point win at home.

I haven't argued with you about your support for Benford, but this absolutely is not progress.

It's bad is when, in all seriousness, the opposing teams' fans who were sitting behind us asked me, "You guys are D1? What's wrong with them? " And he was serious. Not smack talk, he actually sounded concerned and confused. They fully expected to get their doors blown off. I was a little ashamed at the start the bus chant. When we struggle to beat NAIA, I don't feel it's an appropriate response.

People are tired of hearing justifications and excuses on why things aren't "that bad." The more excuses, the longer Benford is given passes and more time to fix things. But he isn't exactly fixing things.

Keeping things positive isn't a bad thing. Pretending everything is okay and things are going to get better if everything remains the way it is, is a bad thing.

Disclaimer: Not saying you were pretending everything is okay, just explaining why you will get dislikes if you post like that.

Not saying it is real progress but I am happy we won. The game had a different feel to it. They were a shorter team so Colman was taken out of the picture early and Jordan had to play a lot at the 4 (maybe we he had a poor scoring night). I am hoping that if we play a larger team we can at least match up better. Still Oklahoma is looking to beat us by quite a bit if we do not do something). They ran a. 3-2 zone and really forced us to swing the ball to try to feed it into the paint. Hopefully we will see man against Oklahoma though... I think!?

Are you telling me that NAIA Northwood dictated game play for the Mean Green? We had to take out the ever-improving Coleman because their lineup was small?!?

Exactly what I got from that post. Ridiculous. I guess with enough excuses you really can justify just about anything.

Andrew, comment?

Did I not raise a red flag when I said we will lose to Oklahoma by 40 plus if things do not change? I am happy we won but not happy how we came about it. I am hoping we will match up better with Oklahoma and both Coleman and Gaines can stay on the floor at the same time so Jordan can play the 3. It might open some things up. With that said we have a lot to improve on; poor shooting and sub par defense almost cost us this one. When we did get a stop we capitalized in transition whichever as nice to see. we need to get more stops on D so we can do that more often. Alzee and Brandon both did well in transition.

Message board approval is very important to you, so I will give you this...

We better celebrate this victory tonight...its probably one of about 4 we will enjoy this year (and that might be aiming too high)

Benford'd...thanks RV

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      NIL was a horrible idea that continues to destroy competition in sports I don't see how anyone blames this mess on the athletes. Sure they are going to do what is best for them, perfectly understandable. The NCAA should fight NIL, but apparently the leadership is a lot more interested in protecting the status quo and players than to listening to the fans.

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      I don’t believe Vito hates UNT. Why should he sugar-coat the truth in his articles? Just win will help. I bet Vito hates participation trophies. Good job Brett!

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      Vito is lost in sports writer hell. He lives by the standard that it is the job of sport writer to be neutral. I imagine he is as tired of covering NT as a lot of NT fans are tired of his coverage. He is lucky in a way that the DRC is still one of the few newspapers that still exist. He has won a lot of awards, not only because he is a competent writer; but there is little competition.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things.
