"UNT graduates 6/7ths of their roster and all of the Dodge recruits they've been relying on. They think they can take a team that will be comprised of multiple Bottom 10 recruiting classes into Austin and win. It's a pretty good laugh to read through."

6/7ths of our roster...holy shiat batman...that's a lot...

math...it's fun...and should be taught everywhere...

By that logic, that leaves us a receiver, a trainer, and Berglund's left shoe.

At any rate, if there's a year to beat UT, this may be that year. Maybe Strong will have forced out enough bad egg/talented players, caused enough stir in the ranks, and the team will be in enough disarray to get a win. We've got a better team going into UT than I can remember (short of the '88 debacle), they have a new coach, so while it's still a long shot, it's closer than it ever has been.

The Sith were an alien race kind of like the Mayans, if they were ugly humanoid lobsters. Dark Lords of the Sith were the evil Jedi who ruled over the planet and eventually branched out. The Galactic Empire was ruled by a Dark Lord but it was not the Sith Empire. We can beat a bunch of ugly lobster zealots that worship dark power. Sounds about right.

So UTSA fans not only can't do basic math, they aren't literate enough to have the cultural literacy to make basic analogies. No wonder they couldn't get into UT and have to spend two years in an advanced junior college before transferring.

The players and coaches believe so why can't we as fans? If we chose not to believe we will fail.

I chose to believe we can win this game because I know our coaches and players will be prepared. They will go into Austin believing they can win and I'll be right there with them.

So screw what UTSA fans think.

Like I said, most of their fans are retarded. The sad thing is when I tweeted that, a UTSA beat writer favorited it. LOL

You don't think the sad part is a man in his 30s still using the word "retarded" in 2013 on Twitter? Different strokes I guess...

We hammer UTSA as beneath us, but remember this "2 yr Junior College" beat the team this year in what should have been a big game for all of our SRs, not sure we can trash talk much when they came into Apogee and punched the team in the face and faced little resistance until the end.

Exactly.You'd think this would keep us grounded going into a new year, but no.

is it really that far fetched???

we took a team with multiple "bottom of the barrell" recruiting classes and just completed a 9-4 season finishing in the upper half of college football...

meanwhile... a team in Austin just took a team of multiple "top 10" recruiting classes and finished an 8-5 season, finishing somewhere in the 40-50 tier range of college football...

If we were to play UT this weekend, I would give us an outside chance. By next fall when most of our starters and playmakers on both offense and defense are gone, I won't expect too much. I'm not saying next year's team won't turn out to be pretty damn good in the end, but let's not put crazy pressure on a whole host of new, untested players in their first game as starters in a daunting environment.

True, but don't discount another full spring and fall practice under this coach staff, plus the bowl practices.

The UT game is nice to think about... however the UTSA game is much more important to our possibly winning our Conference... That is where our focus should be.

*In Yoda voice* It will be...it will be.

Well, it looks like we can out-nerd UTSA, so there's that. :unsure:

Not totally true. You focus only on the next game up. For us that's UT. When the time comes we will talk UTSA. Until then they are a small bugger on the radar screen after you just sneezed on it. Just wipe it off and focus on what's in front of us

You mean, sort of like every money game every single season? You're right. Who do we think we are, Louisiana-Monroe or Georgia Southern or something?

You're welcome.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
