Louisiana Tech (2/8/14)

I'm glad I didn't get suckered into listening to this when I saw the halftimes score.

Andrew · February 9, 2014

At the end of the year if he needs to go I am fine with it but whining during the season gets nothing done and sends the wrong message to everyone viewing this page. Just show up to the pit this Thursday and cheer them on.

CJ fouls out. I am one away.

Ben Gooding · February 9, 2014

I will be at the pit to watch, but I am going to kick & scream until he's gone. No reason not to. The season is in shambles and it needs to be very well documented that the fan base is not pleased. Well, the attendances will help with that as well I suppose.

Every reason not to. He is the players coach. Give it till the end of the season. It is a slap to the face of everyone on the team and the athletic department. At the end of the season share it all you want. I would want to make my players happy over fans. However I also am sure the players want to win. I would talk to the team before making any decisions. Not listen to a Ben Gooding or a NT90. They do not play for the man and nor do they have any clue what is going on in the locker room or practice. Once the Conference tournament is over make a whole post about it... But keeps the players and families of coaches in mind as well. Until the hopefully see everyone at the pit. Support them all.

Andrew wouldn't call for a firing if we were winless.

When we fire Benford does Andrew leave as well?

What will it take for you to decide he needs to go?

Hooray for moral victories. <_<

I haven't left this team since the early 90s. I want to win but we could lose 40 games straight over 2 years and I would still buy season tickets and show up to every game.

Ben Gooding · February 9, 2014

Families of the coaches? They all make over 100k a year. Benford makes 350k a year. I am sure they will be fine financially. As far as their feelings go, I could care less. As far as the players go, I will never deliberately bad mouth a player in any sport for on the field/court play.

Andrew · February 9, 2014

The end of the season and if I hear something.

I am stuck this season to be honest. We will have a lot of seniors next season with a lot of potential and ability. Bringing in a new coach could help or it could hurt. You would then force players to again learn a new system and warmup to another coach during their most crucial year (their senior year). Bringing in a new coach next season may not help at all. Benford has built a relationship with the players and changing it again with one more year may not be wise. It's a coin toss to be honest. It is a very tough call. The season following the decision would be much easier. If I was RV and considering a move at the end of the season I would first consult the seniors. They would have a better opinion then on if he should stay or go.

I had 1k on UNT with points and 3k on the over. To bad its a game app and not real money. UNT footbal and basketball are making me cyber rich. For different reasons of course.

GRN-WHT · February 9, 2014

The end of the season and if I hear something.

So we could lose every game for the rest of the season and you'd still be cool with Benford unless somebody tells you otherwise. Got it.

Ben Gooding · February 9, 2014

Consult with the players??....uhh haha

I see Benford's commitment to defense is paying dividends.

Ben Gooding · February 9, 2014

Do we have 10 Kobe Bryant's on the roster or something? I'm confused.

emmitt01 · February 9, 2014

Yes, but skiver would come back.

How many suits going to El Paso?

UNT90 · February 9, 2014

How many suits going to El Paso?

Bigger question:

Will Benford bring moe suits than UNT brings fans?

BillySee58 · February 9, 2014

A couple notes. Another double double for Jordan Williams. We move down into a tie for second last with ECU (who won today) and Marshall (plays at Tulane tomorrow). Only team below is Rice; a team we just lost to.
