I was in Las Vegas this weekend and went to the Pac 12 Championship game (second half). It was awesome being in Las Vegas with 3 conference tourneys going on: WAC, Pac 12 and Mountain West. All three arenas within 2 miles of each other. The city was packed with bball fans and the casinos went all out hanging banners from the schools in the casino lobbies and walkways. The West Coast Conference was at the Orleans the week before.

Our destination city is New Orleans. The Pac 12 didn't stay away just because the MWC already had dibs on the Thomas & Mack, the weekend and Vegas. We need to move this tournament to New Orleans. Is there another venue down there that could host it? If not lets make it the weekend before. Either way NOLA is in our footprint and schools from all over would pour down there with a planned weekend. I swear half the cities of Albuquerque and Tucson were in Las Vegas this weekend.

New Orleans would be a great venue. I believe that a lot of fans would still stay if there school was knocked out because of location. Anywhere besides El Paso. What were they thinking? Early seeds playing in Juarez sponsored by Coke-a-cola?

      He made two amazing basketball coaching hires.

      That is actually a pretty fun idea. Both Wren and RV were more of a “sales” guy than Jared, who seems like an “operations” guy. That is fine, but you need to hire someone else to be that sales person who promotes the program and builds excitement for the program. Jared has made some homerun hires in basketball, but is it still a homerun if no one is there to see it?

      I am not being belligerent here, just simply asking, but what has Jared done for you to be pro-Jared?

      I’m not making excuses. I’m disgusted by it. It is a hell of a product and I can’t believe people aren’t showing up to see it. They are missing out. There are a lot of creative ideas you could try to fill that place up. I’ve been pretty pro-Jared since his hire, but this is a pretty embarrassing flaw and ultimately he is the one getting paid the most to make the athletic program succeed. And good attendance is part of that success.

      Yeah, it's been downright pathetic marketing. Jared should be questioned about this on a public forum, like X. It's not even a team thing anymore. This PROGRAM deserves 5k a night. It doesn't matter if they're playing Denton High. The program has earned my respect. I love everything they do, the pace they play, the players they're able to nab. We're basically running the double flex in basketball and it's working and has been working for almost a decade. As for your idea, I like it. Also, students and old folks love free stuff. Buy 5K worth of $400 TV's and give one away every home game via drawing. And for the love of me, will SOMEONE get the greeks actually interested in UNT athletics?!?! Students like free tuition. A diehard would love to 'cup a coffee with coach' A diehard would like 'lunch with a player' The problem as I have observed over the years will always be the problem. To my knowledge, there is not a good % of UNT people working for UNT. Get UNT people back to UNT. And UNT might be the best version of itself. Until then, we are a revolving door for people trying to stepping stone us.
