All sports ?:odie:

Big 3 (football, basketball, women's basketball). Historically speaking.

(I doubt Tech's facilities have ever been better than UNT's. We don't charge student fees).

Big 3 ? How about soccer, tennis, volley ball, softball, etc. You are trying to parce an answer. I also do doubt that you have superior talent to UNT in men's basketball.

I hate to even post in these threads about Tech but,

Are you kidding? Last year Tech had a 6'5" shooting guard (Gibson) that will play in the NBA at some point (hurt at the end of the year). Rolle 6'11" 2nd round NBA draft pick (hurt at the end of the season). Olu Ashaolu 6-7 g/f who will be at least a 2nd round pick one day.

Two of Tech's best players were hurt before the WAC tournament and it cost them a trip the NIT at a minimum.

I just don't see NT doing that. Yes, NT got to the NCAA and Tech did not.
