Tate Wallis may have gotten a raw deal, but we certainly did. The timing was awful for us. If these accusations had surfaced before the hiring process began, we never would have hired him at the time we did, and be forced to go through a season with a key coaching position left vacant. And it was especially key last year, when we're trying to work in new QBs rather than leaning on a savvy veteran.

Highly suggest y’all give this a watch, some very interesting tidbits.

NT has 16 sports like most of CUSA and G5. NT has always seemed paranoid about funding men sports without adding more women's teams. Baseball is an semi-expensive sport and frankly doesn't draw that many fans. Look at TCU which has a very good program and averaged around 4,000. NT probably wouldn't get close to that number. The athletes available in the metroplex argument can be used in just about in any sport. Yet, NT attendance numbers even with almost 40k students has always been mainly disappointing. Case in point, men basketball attendance last year. I would also like NT to field a baseball team, but realize it is not going to happen any time soon. It is thought that less than 10% of college baseball program turn a profit. The cost of a baseball stadium could never be financially justified and even it 100% donation built; the cost of maintenance would be a major expense.

Preach.

I 10000% agree good programs deserve THE BEST. But, to me there is a way to do that while getting baseball going, then improve as they grow. You get a baseball team going, someone (dad probably) comes in and drops some serious money and you are in business. Just think, Jesuit, Marcus, Flower Mound, Southlake, Keller (all of them) Prosper, Frisco, I can keep going all of those communities have D1 baseball players and families that are not hurting for $$. Just seems really stupid to not jump in, plus you have an easy fan base in the North Texas Area that may not want to go drop 200 bucks at a Rangers game. Now they go buy your 10-20 dollar ticket, and watch some good baseball. I have had more baseball coaches than I can count that are so disappointed that we don't have baseball because they know how good we could be, and quick.

I heard when they get a sack Sean Kingston's song is going to come on (Somebody call 9-11) lol Ok I'll retire to mowing my yard. 🤪

The softball program deserves a renovation. Good programs should play in good facilities. However, I'm disappointed in baseball being swept. Again, countless programs JUST LIKE US make it work. So save me from the title 9 or financial comments. Not that you in particular have those comments to make, but many do.

Last time I heard anything about it, the plan was to bring the AC all the way up to where the scoreboard is currently, and have some sort of Doubled weight room/Training room, and locker room, where the coaches area on the 3rd floor would be the last to be renovated/expanded but who knows what has changed since then. I had two semi-disappointing takeaways from that conversation. 1 Baseball is no where in the future plans we could be so good so quick with a baseball program. Most baseball scholarships are between 1/4 1/3 unless you are really good like draft pick type good then you may get 60-75% thrown your way. Take a look at the other schools in metroplex, DBU a kid gets a 1/3 they're still paying 25 grand easily, TCU 35 grand. UNT you're well under 20 grand for a 1/3 scholarship and that doesn't include academics. The 2nd I wouldn't say disappointing thing was the plan to renovate and update the softball complex before baseball is even brought up. Edit: 11.7 total Scholarships per team. SO 35/36 of the guys can be on a 1/3 scholarship and you can rock and roll, or you want to do less and you take a higher tier kid on 40% and a lesser tier kid only gets 20% instead. It is a numbers game, but with the schools in the metroplex that you would be recruiting from, that $ isn't totally crazy for college baseball AND their families can come to lots of games which seems to be a bigger deal than cost or location in the baseball world (WS level elite teams excluded)

👍👍 Interesting......I wonder if they have greenprints🙄 or renderings as to what the expanded Athletic Center will look like? Did “in Wren we trust” say it would double in size? ••• Are they going to bring the AC closer to the field to add seating & maybe even more luxury suites to Apogee’s capacity?

Impressive looking group. Hard to not be excited.

Keith Jackson Senior has been tweeting a lot about his son and UNT, so I think that's fine. I also noticed the Murphy brothers now are 11 and 9

Couldn’t find my last thread but the roster has been updated for incoming freshmen and with players’ new numbers. Some interesting new number choices. All of the freshmen we were expecting to appear are showing up except Running Back Signee Keith Jackson. Still May so hopefully he makes it just fine, but a little concerning. Also, the newer transfer portal commits are not on the roster yet (Tommy Bush, Enoch Jackson, Dillon Francis, Sean-Thomas Faulkner, etc.) https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/2021?&sort=class

I saw the unveiling “live”on Zoom. Those unis are sharp! A Foundation helped the UNT-COM buy almost 560 new unis. (Amazing how Velcro will make them to be so versatile). I hope this link below will get you there—if not I’ll find another. Best looking Green Brigade uniform I‘ve seen in almost 50 years. (SilverEagle, what do ya’ think)? https://untalumni.com/alumni-live-green-brigade-uniforms/ 🟩UPDATE FROM THE UNT COLLEGE OF MUSIC••• If you were unable to attend our live reveal tonight, we will be releasing a full video detailing the new uniforms tomorrow on all platforms!! ❇️🦅❇️

I want to see the plans that they might’ve redone for the ac renovation. Hopefully we see a large scoreboard replacing the one we have now that goes on top of the facility. Don’t really know how to explain it over the phone, but I hope you get the idea. Kinda like Oklahoma State even tho there’s is on the basketball arena. Also, after the fantastic season put on by most of the CUSA in baseball this year, I feel even more sad that we aren’t in it. The support, in my opinion, would be huge because so many people want it. I even had football players talking to me about it. I think the only way it would happen is if football starts winning.

I’ll be the first to admit it. When he breaks a big one I’m yelling “Whoa, Nellie!”

I know FWISD for sure is still in school for another 2 weeks, wonder if he is in the same boat.

Well in the past that was probably the case, but those magazines and companies change and adapt with times just like everything else. They now offer digital copies, they had a 1 hour phone call with Littrell last week sometime or maybe the week prior about the team and the upcoming season. Those guys have to change with all the things the Portal (Transfers in and out), JUCO, and late hs signees due to spots opening up. I would be very surprised if this years article on us was too far off.

Jimmy Biden, by the beginning of this third year we should be entering a Great Recession. Bring back the Misery Index........it was such fun times (sarcasm). Then Jimmy Biden can put on his sweater and sit by the fireplace and give us a speech just like Carter gave us. Carter was most likely the most honest president we have had but he is in over his head. I cant say Biden is as honest.

Round 3: Munoz is T4th at -8 after an even par today. Ortiz is T52nd at even par after shooting one over today.

Never good when a starter leaves and it seems to happen every year.

Jazion Jackson is pretty solid and will only be a sophomore.

I am embarrassed to say that I just saw this post...I should read more carefully. Thanks for all the kind words. I did what I could and some worked and some did not...the Psychedelic Sock Hop sticks in my mind as a complete fiasco. As some of you may remember, the game went into overtime or double overtime. So, when it was over there were about 10 students and the band and me..I have to laugh about it. You guys always made it fun for me and I loved your dedication to ole NT.

cue all the apologies for Jalie if she has another average to sub-par season. Transfers, injuries, etc....

Plenty of time to make plans

Don’t like it but I’ll be there.

Oh and we have 1 game on CBSSN this year… So most likely a lot of ESPN+ games and Stadium Facebook🙄🙄

SO THRILLED we're sacrificing one of our biggest home games just so sports bars have something to put on in the background during Friday happy hour 🙄

Hope it looks different by the end of the season.

Too many Americans are either too young or too infatuated in progressing their own special interest groups to be able to remember the wonderful world of stagflation. Now the government is borrowing and spending trillions of dollars to cover up any symptoms of a self inflicted recession. What happens when the United States is supposed to start paying back the loans? This will be the new and improved National Malaise. We're already starting to see it.

I decommitted from my high school sweetheart, and she did not respect my decision

Ooooorrrr, this is what happens when young adults make decisions about where to spend the next four years of their lives, what they are going to pursue as a lifelong career, and whether a coach and team truly fit their needs as a player. I can only assume that all of us are happily married to our high school sweetheart.

A disgrace to those who served. But still a funny movie!

Nice video. Is that a UNT production?

com·mit·ment /kəˈmitmənt/ Learn to pronounce noun 1. the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc. "the company's commitment to quality" Similar: dedication devotion allegiance loyalty faithfulness fidelity bond adherence attentiveness 2. an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action.

Yes. Yes we are. Anecdotally, I've seen it in grocery prices over the past few months, not to mention at the pump. With the Fed's easy money policy and all the stimulus money flooding the economy this could be an ugly year. And the cure will be just as bad. Yeah, as long as employers are competing with COVID unemployment checks. But once they tighten the restrictions on the Covid unemployment checks - which states are already doing, some even opting out - that will change.

A good man, but clueless. Just like now.

I really hope some of you, or those around you, are never accused of something and then not convicted. Guess you would walk away from your current life or wish those around you well, but see you later.

Maybe we shouldn't be surprised to see John Cena grovel like a dog. Its about the $, after all. https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/05/hollywoods-values-prove-flexible-in-china/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NR Daily Monday through Friday 2021-05-26&utm_term=NRDaily-Smart
