You were there for the last win. Have some faith.

Kudos to the SFA training staff for being so professional. They also were using their play call signs to block so no one could take pictures.

To Our Most Passionate Supporters, I hope everyone had a great summer. We finished up our eight-week summer training and I am thrilled with our progress. Our guys worked extremely hard in the weight room and on the court. Off the floor, they are meshing nicely as several new faces have arrived in Denton. We just started back with fall classes and can’t wait to get back to work. You will love this team. Thank you for your amazing support of UNT and our basketball program. Due to your generosity, we are able to compete on a national level in recruiting and on the court. Your contributions to our players Name Image and Likeness (NIL) initiatives and other specific giving initiatives are game changers for us. I would like to ask your support of a golf outing/NIL event our players are hosting on September 30th at Denton County Country Club. I also will be there and we would love to see you. Per NCAA rules, an outside entity is coordinating the event and not UNT, but my staff is allowed to promote and appear at the event. The same company operating this event did the same thing at Gonzaga, Arizona and Houston recently. You will be contacted soon about your interest in participating and the details on the outing. THIS helps us win. THIS helps us recruit. GMG! Ross Hodge DIRECT LINK TO GOLF TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION: https://www.campiosports.com/register-motg

I don’t get the Vito hate. He has to cover a program that has not exactly done a whole lot to be positive about. And he reports for a town that mostly acts like UNT Athletics doesn’t exist.

Best compliment from the South Alabama fan forum: Tiguar Posted on 116 mins, , User Since 142 months ago, User Post Count: 6601 116 mins 142 months 6601 "North Texas should have over 60 points. They had two touchdowns taken off the board because their wide-open dude slipped. If UNTs high powered offense is just so good that every team that plays them has to score 50+ to win, I’m excited to see them in the playoffs this year."

Carthel and his staff were class acts

When we hired Coach (Spencer) Leftwich's son to be our O line coach......I was hoping for the best. If he was as good as his Dad.....that would be awesome. But, he was awfully young....and not very experienced. But man........what a debut. Without his best lineman (Gabe Blair)....and loses another great lineman (Jett Duncan) early in the game. We had a true freshman (Tyler Mercer) who played probably 90% of that game at center....y'day. So kudos to Coach Leftwich ....what a debut. https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/cutter-leftwich/826

Why does the dj music have to so loud? It should be background noise not the main event. Why do we even have a band at the game? The non stop DJ music doesn't give them much time to play. The marching band is part of the game day experience. I have heard the volume of the music by the DJ less at a night club. It makes it hard to talk to the people around you which part of the reason I attend the game in person. I know the young people like the music but it could be turn down a few decibels. I got to the game early and it was not bad but about 15 minutes before Kick off up went the volume. I like to hear the ref make the calls so I know what is going on the field. How about some replays on calls that are being reviewed on the field.. I know I am welcomed to DATCU stadium for the game of SFA against UNT. Yes, I will enjoy a coke but please show some replays on the big screen. Now get off my yard,

I get the idea, but I think it’s better that we just focus on our own current players. Big game this week! GMG!

Maybe it is an age thing, but I really don't want a shirt, sweatshirt, cap, etc. with a kid's name and number on it. I just want North Texas logoed apparel/hats/caps. I especially don't want a shirt with the name of kid that will probably be gone in a year.

Now that SMU is gone we can/should root for every team in the American when they are playing a team from the other G5 conferences.

We’re going to scare some peeps with our offense for sure. Now our D needs some consistency for sure. But a win for the American is an awesome thing and even UTSA beating CUSA today was good for the league. Beat SFA GMG

A 2-minute warning. Sorry but when you're at the stadium.....the number of 2-3 minute stoppages....is a lot already. You look down on the field...and they have a digital clock. (I guess for TV? not sure). But there are now 3.5 minutes of stoppage....between quarters. And it starts at 2:30 for every replay review. On most reviews you're watching at home....haven't you determined what happened....in less than a minute?? I think the first half last night...was about an hour and 45 minutes long. Baseball realized it needed to do things to speed things up some.....college football should too. Just my opinion.

2-0 doesn’t happen very often around here. I’ll take it, ugly or not.

I know some on this board have always resisted calling UTSA a “rival” but I think everything you need is there. - Share a league and play annually (yep) - Close enough proximity to make games accessible for fans (yep) - Play games that have meaning (yep, often) - Genuine desire to beat them in, literally, everything (yep) - Feeling that we are just plain better than them as people and as a university (yep)

I would much rather steal somebody’s DC

Again, big IF…but if we manage to pull one out in Lubbock…we come back to DATCU to a crowd of 29k+ on the 21st against Wyoming (Wyoming, by the way, just lost to Idaho)

I sold and distributed orthopaedic implants for 30 years, and compound fractures are especially bad, especially to the lower leg. One of the major concerns is infection, because normally this type of traumatic injury is "dirty" . Another is blood flow to the affected area, which if disrupted could make healing the wound and obtaining union with the fragmented bones problematic. He needs all the prayers we can muster.

I think we’ll hold our own against Texas Tech. But first we’ve got a Lumberjack to chop down. GMG

I see you found yourself a bottle of this stuff..

That was a HUGE win last night on the road!

Not gonna lie. If we only score 35 pts in this game after what we saw last weekend out of Morris and crew - I’m going to be very disappointed.

Went on the road to start the season with 70+ new players and brought home a W. That’s big time.

Well, this is great to see. I still don't understand why something like this wasn't organized by the Talons years ago.

I have nothing against Jake Roberts…but

We don't usually go 2-0 to start the season. I don't care how easy this game may have been on paper - a W is a W.

Can we please stop obsessing over SMU? We aren’t even conference mates after the single season we spent with them and we won’t be playing them anytime in the foreseeable future. They mean absolutely nothing to us as a program. Why oh why does their name continuously come up on this site??

We hope nothing but bad things happen to your team. Respectfully, All of GMG

https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2024/09/01/ten-things-we-learned-from-week-one-2024?ref=article_preview_title 10. All of a sudden, North Texas at Texas Tech is Week Three is interesting This game originally was written off as blowout potential due to Texas Tech running back Tahj Brook's dominance against a weak North Texas rush defense. But if Abilene Christian diced up the Red Raiders secondary, what could North Texas head coach Eric Morris scheme up for new quarterback Chandler Morris? Chandler threw for 415 yards and had five total touchdowns in his Mean Green debut.

I like having a business man at the helm right now. I see improvement on the promotions front and desire to lure fans with offerings and fresh options. Get that influencer on board and have them pummel the campus to draw up interest. Have them roam the tailgate to capture fun stories and shots. Students and Alumni, like Johnny on Jesse Watters Primetime. This department needs to be run like a professional sports team. Just a few ideas: Denton Guyer Giveaway Day Denton High Giveaway Day how many high schools do we have? the Guyer and Denton jersey could integrate their logos sports name or colors and reflect SOW or Mean Green. Happy Hour 90 minutes before kickoff on the social deck. FAU did this with a great cheap beer price before kickoff. Texas Rangers has $4 Karbach drafts on weekends and discounted Ranger Waters on Mariachi Mondays. DTX t-shirt day. A cool integrated shirt with UNT and DTX. A ploy to draw Denton fans to the games for personalized gear. It’s high time Denton starts wearing and playing up that pride we share from knowing how that quirky town rocks. Music night. A stylish hat you would see on some lounge act performers. Of course promoting our UNT music heritage or a Grammy hat. Not a ball cap necessarily maybe a beret. Mason Fine bobble head night. Do this when we draw UTSA home next year. Denton Teachers night offering a slick ball cap and integrating the DATCU logo. Anything E-games - jersey or shirt with big SOW and proper sponsor. One of the biggest draws at Texas Ranger promotional nights. For the ultimate and due to our partnership, Cowboy night. Mean Green jersey on silver with the Star and SOW prominently displayed. Oh and these promotional items could be a one time charge or add on for season ticket holders. $40 might include that beret and end zone ticket. Season ticket holders could add the hat for $25. Jared you got this and thank you. Have fun thinking way out of the box GMG

The sheer number of throws that hit the receivers in stride was....just awesome. GMG

Aren’t we all, brother…aren’t we all

Watch party in the corner of my closet with cheap vodka. Just tell my wife your here for the intervention

@FirefightnRick says "Come and get it!"

I honestly saw -11 and I assumed it was BYU -11 then I saw SMU -11 man…..it’s so typical of that program. They got a fancy new patch on their jersey and all the money. But there’s still no substance. They barely beat one of the worst teams in FBS and then just got beat at home as double digit favorites. At home with what sounded like 50/50 BYU fans. But they can tout their attendance. Nevermind half the stadium wasn’t there to cheer for them. And They are such a “sexy” pick this year in their “P4” conference. Even though there’s really no substantive reason for it. They Bought their patch but underneath it same ole SMU. Embarrassing

No. This message board is a better place when they’re not around. Let’s not page him/her.

It's not good to ignore the 582 yards allowed but a good chunk of that came late when the score / deficit didn't change. The 150 yards rushing allowed is the most important stat to me. They are a good rushing team, and regularly put up 200+ yard games. Last year's USA would have run for 400+ against NT. The squad was down a couple of big contributors, came out and got some huge stops in the second half that helped set up the punt block, and the NT scores. That's what we asked for. We don't expect top-10 defense. We just want mid-table American defense and I think this squad can compete for a league title.

We won by 14 points on the road as an underdog and some of you guys are bitching.

So there are all sorts of rumors swirling around right now about how Texas A&M could be leaving the SEC for the Big 10 as early 2026, and a rumor to follow that up is that Texas Tech would be the first choice to replace A&M in the SEC. This would leave a hole in the Big 12. I don’t know if there is ANY truth to any of these rumors but regardless, our athletic department needs to start a fund right now for the AAC exit fees so that we can take tech TTUs place in the Big 12. If we can actually start winning over the next few seasons there should be no reason we aren’t a prime candidate to replace them- if any of this actually happens.

What's wrong with Wesloski starting? I thought he was pretty solid last year for a RS Freshman. Finished 3rd in tackles.

Chandler Rogers plays for Cal..

Hope he starts. Seems like a good kid that just wants a place to play his last year.
