Thousands of DISD elementary school children will be exposed to Benford ball.

Has CPS been notified ?

[Rudy]

There will be more people at this game than there were for SFA.

Great. The university will have to pay their psychologist bill after they witness his coaching.

[UNT90]

I just got the email for this game. 11:30 a.m. on a Tuesday? There will be five people at this game.

Hide it and hope people to realize you are playing basketball. That's what this schedule has been. Why do you think a women's game was scheduled the night before homecoming and not a men's game?

Keep Benford out of sight and maybe the alums will forget about basketball and the BOR doesn't have to pay out a contract.

Not happening.

I don't see a line anywhere

Is this a "Red Line"?

I would like to concur with CMJ, we support the players. They deserve so much better than this!

Everyone who says they support the players, and are local enough to do so, should be showing up for the games. Posting on a message board will not get it done. If the players deserve better that includes fans who actually show up if they actually support the players so much.

I realize the Tuesday game will be tough for a lot of folks to make, understandable, but no excuses for folks who support the players for not showing up for evening and weekend games.

Hope to all the supporters at a few games this season...to support the players and all.....

Edit: I see this post hit a tad too close to home for some folks. Funny.

Not to get this thread off in another direction but besides ones kids, I don't agree with blindly supporting anything. Everybody has their lines where enough is enough and Benford's actions both on and off the court have made some people feel that their personal line has been crossed. I don't blame those who feel this way.

We just lost at home to SFA by 30+. Add that to a slew of bad performances under Benford. I wouldn't think less of anyone who ask themselves "Should I be devoting my time and money to this mess?"

We've been through this with football. Ultimately, it's our entertainment dollar. I don't attend things that increase my stress in a negative way without first filling out a W-4 and negotiating a nice benefits package.

Yep, and I also refuse to spend my money on a product that I care way more about than the owners of the product.

That is my perception after the refusal to admit a terrible mistake and can Benford after Hor Springs last year.

[oldguystudent]

And seriously, there doesn't appear to be a line for this game. At all. Anywhere.

[10Eagle10]

almost tip-off. have the radio on here at work. Hopefully, the DISD magic can get the team a win. According to the release, North Texas is 5-0 on these afternoon games...PLUS we are 3-1 in the Southland this year. One last win to close the year?

[CMJ]

Also have the KNTU broadcast on. GMG

[andrewrozell]

I am going to step in and make my own line for the game since Vegas is clearly missing a golden opportunity:

NT -12.5

[Rudy]

Well that's not a great start, knock the opening tip out of bounds.

[andrewrozell]

atleast they are playing man.

[CMJ]

UCA 3

The kids are going nuts. Maybe they can will us to victory.

[smoothfresh]

All the basketball issues aside this is a pretty cool thing they do for the kids of DISD.

Playing with much better effort today.

[greenit]

Have George or Hank started talking about the lighting in the pit yet?

Just when it seemed like we might be getting a nice working margin, Central Arkansas makes a run.

[filmerj]

Oh nos...

[CMJ]

NT 22

UCA 18

3:53 to go

We briefly gave up the lead, but then nosed back out in front. Hopefully we can close the half well and put some doubt in the Bears' minds.
