I honestly just wish they would start using other phrases besides, “With that being said…” in their posts. I mean if you don’t have something original to say then at least say it in an original way.

And I'm putting their families in the group as well. Last year was the final straw when I responded to tweets by several family members during the BB season (after doing the same thing the previous year for a certain player who will remain nameless here). They'd be cheering on the MG team (via accounts related to their specific player) and many of us would give positive responses of support, appreciate, and encouragement. Then at the end of the season, so many of these same players left after the team had a decent season with a first year coach and many players available to return. I don't know if I felt betrayed or simply realized that all of their posting was simply temporary (fake) support for whatever school their kid was playing for. The name on the front of the uniform really didn't matter and they had NO pride in obtaining a UNT diploma. Of course some amount of relocation should be expected, but nowadays, it seems like it's become the norm and not the rare occurrence. This whole thing kinda reminds me of something I saw growing up as a coach's kid in a small town. I was the typical gym rat and on Monday's the Jr High games would be played and I'd hang out and watch the games after our practice was done. Inevitably, EVERY year I'd see the same funny thing. Some family (that I knew) and that likely went to the HS games would now attend Jr Hi games as well because their kid was playing. Every year, they'd comment on how nobody was there. I'd simply think to myself, it's the same size crowd as every year, but it's now your turn to be the only ones here. Sure enough, after 2 years, they'd be back to only HS games (unless they had another kid coming along in JH). Again, it's a different situation, but it does remind me of the same temporary support.

Agree, I think Wright, Jossell, Lorient, and Massie/Floyd are all guys that could lead us in scoring any night, but in close games having a clear #1 who can create and wants to take that last shot would help us be a clear Top 3 in the conference imo.

Probably because he doesn’t have a future here and Cobbs is “lauding” him for his character. Cobbs is a class act.

Good call. Have to root for the little guy, the upstart Davids like Microsoft. F U gooogle!
