First-of-all: Congratulations on the victory, MGN and UNT!
Secondly, this fan would like to not give into the cynicism/pessimism of thinking RossHodge is all-but-GOING to leave after this run to work in Morgantown, WV and would like to see more people have more faith in humanity. Seeing someone like this give the "finger" to those with "bluer-bloods" and stay "Mean Green" would be a most-welcome sight and something needed in this sport, in most-all sports, even!
Thirdly...this user finds it a tad hypocritical to have opposing mindsets for football and basketball here with the article-ending take of being a "Tim-Duncan-era-Spurs-fan" and suggesting that "effective basketball", and winning, isn't the end-all, be-all. This user would take an Iowa team in any sport scoring less than 24 points a game that wins multiple titles-of-note, conference or National of some sort, than be the number-two (and at one-point, number-one-)ranked offense in the country, only to lose a meaningless bowl game outside of the playoffs. The Pop-Manu-Tony-Tim-era Spurs were absolutely f'n LEGENDARY, and this user, despite being a Dallas Mavericks fan (F both MarkCuban and, especially, this new guy for ruining the team), felt "second-hand-pride-and-pleasure" for those Spurs teams and their success. Houston's been a dumpster fire since before this user was born and Dallas was streaky, but San Antonio has been a consistent powerhouse in the NBA as long as this user has been alive, if not somewhat before, even! This user LOVED seeing Poppa-Greg give the "finger" to the NBA and bench his starters for games that the NBA expected them to play in, only for the fascistic-NBA to punish him for it! Real "Stone Cold" vs. VKM vibes, there!
So, is it to say that, in basketball, fans should want great offense for "viewing pleasure", only to lose playoff spots and titles, but be run out of town if that happens in football?
