That was more of the defense making a mistake than the kid making a play. Seems like confusion over who had outside contain.

It could get a little chippy. Here is a sneak preview of Eagles vs. Dons:

Really? Can't they just tell us the players' names?

I refuse to be cocky about this. I know they couldn't keep up with the speed/shooting we've demonstrated thus far, I just worry that at some point we'll get gassed and/or shooting simmers down. Hope it's not next week.

Wish him nothing but the best.

i agree he gave all he had

I feel like the numbers comes out is meant to show the fan base how much help is needed. It puts pressure on the fan base in a good way. For people that do care, it should show that even a small 1 time donation every year for $20 bucks helps. It’s not going after people who donate.. it’s presenting people who do donate with information for them. If I get a letter and it shows that .03% of Alumni donate, when I do meet up with friends and we talk about UNT or a friend comes with me to a game, that is when someone who does donate says hey you should look into donating.. Word of month from me to you is far more effective than a random Facebook post or tweet. Also, presenting those numbers to donors should not annoy them. It’s meant for the season ticket holders who aren’t members to see the benefits and see how much of a difference it can make.

Congrats to him! He's a little young for the job, though.

Not sure if this was posted, but the story on MGSports. http://www.meangreensports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/032318aad.html

The difference between us winning this thing or not is Duffy. Him healthy has been the missing piece to our offense. We look like a different team when he's on the court. If he can play like he has been, I'm confident.

I hope his relationship with North Texas is good. He was a warrior here but the fact that his degree is from McNeese always troubled me. I know why. I just wish his degree was green rather than blue. GO MEAN GREEN

Totally agree, but you know as well as I do that the folks on gmg.com don’t want the MWC. They prefer closer travel. I don’t agree, as the MWC is a huge jump up, especially when the G2 does become a reality.

Wow! Congrats to Riley.

Freak athlete, squatted 275 in 8th grade after he did three sets of 225 6 times. One of my all time favorites, kid is very humble (almost to a fault), but he'll do anything you ask. I'm so proud of him and all the hard work he has put in. I told him when he played for me in MS he was a D1 athlete. Currently holds Oklahoma State, Utah State, and UNT. We have a very good chance of landing him, he's very close with family and Denton would be an easy trip. I am pretty sure I've got a thread on him somewhere else that I made when he was an 8th grader.

Our congress is back to spending like drunken sailors. Below a list of the 25 house reps who had the guts to put their foot down, and Texas only had two, Gohmert and Weber. In the Senate that sack Cornyn helped McConnell insert gun control measures into it. Cruz voted no. $1.3 Trillion more added to our children's future. Some day we'll pass the point of no return. And now Trump signed it, mostly to fund the military, though vowing to never sign another one. Yeah we'll see. . Terrible! Rick

and most important - If you get that break, PLEASE DO NOT hire two high school coordinators

20 attempts from 3 on JackSt and we nail 70% of them. How rare is that? Could that record potential last 20+ years?

I don’t like this for Riley. The expectations of the last Dodge that was HC, and the unrealistic views of SLC fans that they are “owed” championships, will make it hard for him. To me this would be like Jimmy Johnson’s kid taking over the Cowboys HC job...all the resources in the world, but a fanbase ignorant to the fact that other teams have athletes and money too.

I like our chances. I really like how Simmons is starting to kind of play into his role nicely and not play into foul trouble so quickly. I know shooting is what has allowed this run, but there is no denying we are a better team when he is not in foul trouble and has a presence on the floor.

The steam is someone's imagination. I believe, for any conference to be successful it can only afford to have one school with ZERO academic standards (you know who I am talking about), so Troy will always be a no vote for me in this fantasy endeavor!

Tangential... but Mean Green Nation's own @aztecskin and fam are featured on the Alumni Association's annual report that was just sent out: https://twitter.com/fussbudgets/status/977309825083301889

I hate the tricked up scoring for these spring games. Just play it like normal.

I don't think UTSA losing to the southland was helpful to CUSA.

It is a place for people who either are ready to buy into wide-eyed groupspeak nonsense or are willing to proclaim it despite knowing it’s nonsense. And I’m not talking about the actual spiritual stuff. All that sadness we read about Liberty and shutting down the naysayers; Liberty didn’t invent that.

My favorite for him was ‘The Tower of Powerton”

Millions of dollars in firings later, lack of repairs, lack of funding, I'm not quite over it yet. But we all grieve differently.

They are doing something like a 5K before the game. Along with a garage sale having a lot of items that fans are sure to want. Come early because it’s not going to be a typical game, and I believe it should only be about 2 hours long. Hope some people make it over to soccers game vs Baylor or the softball games!

Can't +1 anymore today. Consider this one. That would be the only logical conclusion as this would basically create a "G2" (AAC & MWC), and some kind of other classification for the above nonsense. We cannot get mixed up in all of that... Not now that we're starting to get serious.

Keep in mind that everyone still playing now is probably playing their best basketball of the season. I know that's the case for USF, who opened as 3.5 point favorites for the game on Monday.

Good. They have been wrong every time.

Odufu-who?

Buddy, this is North Texas. If we need a banner....we'll get one up, one way or another. Rick

Going through it on Page 2 I see the CUSA schools showing their Total Alumni and athletic donors and the annual fund contributions. I was shocked and saddened by the chart. UNT has the largest Alumni and fewest donors to the athletic department and we are dead last in Annual Fund Contributions. What is our problem and dont say winning is the answer, UTEP and UTSA are both killing us. I don't understand our alumni base and the city of denton.

@GreenGuy123 How much do you think Miller's new place in the starting 5 has impacted things?

This may have been mentioned previously, but I don't think there is a difference between Nic Smith and DeAndre Torrey. Would have been nice if the department could have had rosters available for a spring game. There wasn't anything that stood out other than the Fine/Guyton connection. Smallest attendance I've seen in years. Happy to see work well underway for Mean Green Track & Field. So much activity taking place today. Soccer, softball, spring game and some event at the Pit.

I'll admit that there needs to be some degree of overhaul but this is not the answer. I don't like the one conference to begin with. I predict there were many different amounts paid to join a conference and dividing any revenue that many ways is unfeasible. TV contracts would have to be redone. What would happen to the basketball tournament conference slots? There should be standards set and any teams that cannot meet those standards should drop to 1-AA/FCS. Lastly, who flip-flopped ULM and La Tech geographically? No way, in my book.

Annual fund donations and capital gift pledges are very different.

As far as I know, most Good Friday worship centers around the period from Noon to 3:00 p.m.. Friday is also a "twofer" this year because of the way the calendars align, so our Jewish friends will be celebrating the first night of Passover. Another reason to wrap it up on Wednesday night!

Are they talking about building it on the north side of downtown when the UAB is on the south side of downtown? That would be a terrible idea! The only thing that would make sense is to try and make that more of an integral campus, and they have made improvements. I guess maybe they think they’re gonna get an NBA team for that little arena by the convention center? Oh man that is all sad and crazy.

Congrats to Riley!

That's what I'm thinking.

Maybe John still has some green beer leftover from St Patrick's Day!

It will look great with the other hardware in our trophy case. ;)

Whoops. I just skimmed the post and missed this obvious point. Agreed, agreed, and agreed. It seems like this arrangement only lets the "G5" teams all take the initiative to relegate themselves to a lower "new FCS / 1AA" division.

I lived on the Gulf Coast for 60+ years. Salt air and the sea will even rust out stainless steel over time.

For a UH fan, trolling this board would have made much more sense two years ago than it does now. By now UH is essentially back with the rest of the G5s again. Also: you can say a lot about Benford and Mac but neither got us into hot water with the NCAA or was sleeping with the students. Macs tenure actually ended with a top ten APR. Most importantly: they are both gone and were replaced with coaches who seem to be un the up and up. Sampson and Applewhite, on the other hand, are still very much UHs current reality, and even if they took a pay cut I wouldn't want either over MacCasland and Littrell. Two years from now we will be replacing our coaches, as will UH, but for very different reasons.
