Why would a big brand like this invest so heavily in one school? College sports are so tribal and FedEx wants to serve everyone. Now I am LESS likely to use FedEx.

Breanna Davis not coming back. She has landed at Abilene Christian. As far as I know, Jaaucklyn Moore is coming back.

One of the people who went on Twitter to congratulate Brock, and say we've got a good one here....none other than Darrel Ray Dickey

Oh boo hoo. Who cares?? 32 teams will become so beholden to sports money that they turn into crap institutions that turn out gobs of crap people. Oh wait that already happened. We will have sports teams. Support them in whatever way you can. North Texas saved my life. I'd sort of like for it to retain a soul.

Good for him

Yep, might need some run support for Savage and Childers.

That call/rule is ridiculous. I would love to hear an explanation as to how they expect the fielder to make that play that would not result in that call. That, to me, was the turning point in the game.

Win game one of the series 2-0. Need the bats to wake up.

Quick game so far. 2-0 UNT through 4.5 innings on two SAC flies from Nicholson and Moffitt. Memphis has a solo commentator but he's very professional sounding. Also like the organ being played at the ballpark.

Love Rubin and his family, wish him the best, just find it interesting he got snatched by Dusty May. Plenty of opportunities for tampering to have been involved this season.

Why would he announce at 5:30 pm on a Friday? That is when you bury news not make your big announcement. Guess that Michigan business school isn’t that good…

Michigan

Just let this kid play 30mins a game. I’m certain he’d have better numbers than Moulaye

To me it didn't look like our batters were intimidated. We finished with like 4 or 5 hits in 5 innings, better than getting no-hit like we did to Kentucky and Mizzou last season. But we let a bad call at second that would have been the third out snowball into six more runs to put the game out of reach early. A&M misplayed a couple of grounders that allowed more of our runners to get on but obviously kept us from scoring until the last inning.

I didn't get this feeling from watching on ESPN+. Did it feel that way for you all that were there in person? Are we in awe, or are we just trying too hard and get off our game?

They're stuck in their box of woe, which I understand. But they're still wrong and not looking at data. UNT should be cleaning up on players moving down for playing time, just like Dykes did at SMU, just like top G5's do. It's right there.

Come on Peterbilt!!

Yeah maybe I should limit the number of threads about players whose finalist lists we make lol. I can't imagine Nicholls could offer more $$? They're called Nicholls for a reason.

Yes!! Let's stop thinking about who's going to hurt us in the portal next season and try to get excited for 2024-25. I'm intrigued to find out if this guy is going to compete for Moulaye's spot in the starting lineup. I'm assuming Sissoko is coming back for his grad year until news comes out otherwise. The thing that might make Vice our 6th man instead is his young age. But he's an inch taller and just 5 lbs. lighter than Moulaye. In limited time he had better stats, including rebounding, than Moulaye last year. He's also got a cool name. I wish it rolled off the tongue better.

I don't think it's about the type of student we attract. It's the type of student that UNT is hellbent on admitting. Which over the years has created a social ecosystem of saturated diversity due to students looking for this environment and then learning/knowing that it exists here. To add, 41% of our undergrads are 1st gen college students. That's great. It really is. But what kind of dumbing down did we have to do to allow that particular number? Or did that many students happen to be that much smarter and ambitious in comparison to the previous generations of family members? That's a gigantic number. 41% white at UNT. While the US is 70% (61%, pending on which stat you use) white. The state of Texas is roughly 65% white. All the while almost 20% of UNT's enrollment is unknown, biracial or Asian. +6% female student enrollment. 14% of our entire enrollment is over 25 years old. That's around 6k students. Those are not young people trying to attach themselves to a sense of community. Those are working adults just trying to get a piece of paper. There are giant swaths of our enrollment that historically care very little about athletics and that doesn't even include degree plan/personal interest type people. Smastrek loves pushing his achievement of growth, but he's been here checking every single progressive box there is to check. Ultimately, all these stats will do is 100% negate athletic support. The 41% number of first gen students is staggering, and jumps out larger than anything else. And that number doesn't mean much to athletic support, but it devalues all of our degrees whether you admit it or not.

I've been thinking about this comment as well. This seems to be our biggest fault of our women's programs, who overall are usually pretty solid. Soccer vs. TTU, SMU, women's basketball vs. TAMU, TCU, and our softball team against most power conference teams the last few years. I remember in the recent past our softball ladies used to be good for at least one win over Baylor in their own tournament every year for a few seasons in a row. Now on nights like Wednesday, we play like we're not both competing for the same championship.

Jimmy's son also played for the Mean Green!
