I don't know if you can compare UNT with U of Phoenix. UNT has been around since 1894 (or earlier). The mean green eagles did go to NCAA Basketball Tournament this year. And it's where "Mean" Joe Green of Pittsburg Steelers played his college ball and it is the University of Miss America. It is a major school of music; infact I believe it is the second largest after U or Indiana.

I didn't graduate from there I graduated from Texas A&M after transfering from UNT.

>Any prediction about the game tonight? I am out of the prediction business, my final four having been Florida (that's the highlight), Kansas, NC, and Texas A & M. I did well in the first rounds, in part by dissing the Big 10. Ohio State has since screwed me there by rallying from two near death experiences to get to the finals. If I had to put money on it I would go with the Gators. They have three bona fide NBA starters in Noah, Horford, and Brewer. The one who impresses me more with every game is Brewer. He can score some and is a freak on defense. He reminds me of Scottie Pippen. He's quick enough to double down and still get back to his man if necessary. "A one man wrecking crew," as Phil Jackson once said of Pippen. Anyway, I enjoy watching both teams and am hoping for a good game. If Florida can get Oden in quick foul trouble, which they probably can, it may be over early. For OSU Lewis needs to put up some points and Conley needs to continue demonstrating Oden isn't
> the only impact freshman starter on the team. Enjoy the game!


Sorry, I lost interest when Texas A&M lost to Memphis. ;-)

Go Buckeyes!
