All those great Mean Green jackets that everyone is wearing: A guy has been wearing one at b-ball games this season. So I asked him....where he got it. Here's the site: https://customiceddesigns.com/products/mean-green-jacket?variant=39509707489353

Grant has 5+ years of Denton bball now.Considering his success and consistency, do we have any players that can claim to be part of the winningest class(es) in history?22-23: 19-5 (will def hit 20-25 wins, and at some point lose at least a 6th game) 21-22: 25-720-21: 18-1019-20: 20-1118-19: 21-1217-18: 20-18

I've sat just about everywhere in Apogee. I've always thought the club seats/suites were a little inert for my taste and sensibility but my wife likes the comfortable things in life. I am thinking of getting a few hub club seats for the couple of times we can make it down to Denton. I ask you, venerable message boarders, what the secondary market is for such seats. I don't need to break even but I also 1) don't want them unused 2) don't want to spend $10K for one game ya know?

Has anyone pointed this out....about the rankings? When we first signed Jayven Anderson....it was noted that he was our top recruit ever (since 247 had been doing rankings). He was listed at the bottom of our signees (as at the very bottom, they rank our top ten recruits ever) as being #1 overall. And as I recall....his 247 score was .88-something. Now you go to 247....and look at the same list....he has suddenly dropped to our 4th best overall. And his 247 ranking is .8726. Not sure what happened....unless it's the typical "discounting" of players....once they sign with UNT. I love this class. What Coach Morris and staff did in such a compact amount of time....is phenomenal. And a final point on recruiting rankings: Bet if we went back and looked....Tulane's classes the last 4-5 years....would be nowhere near the top in AAC. And yet....Tulane put together a team that just finished 9th in the nation.

Does it matter? Most people know him as Mean Joe, not Big Joe. The article doesn't say we got the nickname from him. That's all we should worry about.

Kishawn McClain is coaching there now. Hope he’s great…just not against us.

Thanks, but that's not what I'm asking.

UTSA is one of the worst D1 basketball programs I have ever seen. The top D2 teams would beat them and they can't even remain competitive in CUSA. The AAC is going to eat them alive next season.

Monday morning and still waiting for @ADLER to explain how the guys pulled that win off despite wearing garbage bags.

Hamlet will always have some of the biggest shots in NT history and for that he'll always be a legend. Probably THE legend of the last 50 years. Josh White was the face of the squad that gave us the longest run of success we'd ever had (it started slightly before him and went a year or so past his graduation, but still when you think of JJ squads, you think of White) prior to the McCasland era. I wouldn't rank Perry above either of them, but he has the clutch gene more than anyone I've ever watched at NT (going back to the mid to late 1980s).

EZU as we used to call them. The one big thing they have going for them is fan support. There is literally nothing to do, related to sports, in eastern Carolina and the entire region has embraced the Pirates. The first time I lived in North Carolina was following my graduation from North Texas in 1975. I was posted to an Air Force base in nearby Goldsboro and dated a young lady who was a student at East Carolina. We attended some football games and while their stadium seated 35,000, it was hard to find tickets. This was all the more impressive as ECU was not playing major college football at that time, Now, their stadium seats 50,000 and is often sold-out, especially when they are playing other North Carolina universities.

Next signing period is in April

Jamiah Simmons has 104 wins with UNT.

Yeah, it's their one page essay, done on a Sunday night, due at the first of class on Monday.

We need more and more people to understand that Joe Greene was not "Mean" until he got to Pitt. When he was playing in Denton, he was "Big Joe"

My guess is Rubin and Abou will have the most wins in UNT history over a four year period after next year.

I'm worried. I think UAB is coming into form, and we are seeing the Blazer version that everyone picked to win CUSA...and this version is also pissed.

Vladislov Goldin would like a word with you.

Loved watching Dre play for the Mean Green. He always represented the school well. Wish I could make this game and cheer him on, but I'll be out of town that weekend.

Abou -Jemison matchup best big man matchup in conference . Many great matchups in this game .

To win the regular season, we would need to finish ahead of FAU. For that to happen, it would require a collapse by FAU. That would be very uncharacteristic of them, and highly unlikely. I would like more to people to care about UAB. Jelly is playing again, they have the best front court in the league. Big reasons they took care of FAU and are on a 4 game winning streak. Be grateful we are at home on Thursday, and I do not consider this a gimme. Blazers will be coming and flexing their muscle.

Know the foe: North Texas Mean Green What is now the University of North Texas began as Texas Normal College and Teacher Training Institute in 1890. The name changed to North Texas Normal College in 1894. From 1901 to 1923, the institution was known as North Texas State Normal College. The campus in Denton, TX, was called North Texas State Teachers College from 1923 to 1949. The name was shortened to North Texas State College in 1949. The transition to university status took place in 1961. The name was North Texas State University until 1988, when State was dropped. North Texas system The North Texas University system also has locations in Dallas, Fort Worth and Frisco. Frisco, coincidentally, is where James Madison won the Football Championship Subdivision title in 2017 with a 28-14 victory over Youngstown State when Pirates coach Mike Houston was directing the Dukes. There were 32,596 undergraduates in the fall of 2021 and 9,776 postgraduates. Location Denton is located about 40 miles northwest of Dallas. The driving distance from Greenville, NC, to Denton is 1,300 miles. Driving time is 18 hours, five minutes. Mascot, colors North Texas has had an eagle for a mascot since 1922. The mascot’s nickname is Scrappy. School colors are green and white. Nickname North Texas teams are nicknamed Mean Green. The nickname developed when the 1966 football team was second nationally in rush defense. Defensive tackle “Mean” Joe Greene, a four-time Super Bowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was a sophomore on the 1966 team. read more: https://bonesville.net/2023/02/03/the-new-american-part4-north-texas/

I like the purple and orange color scheme, maybe we should try that for a game?

It's Mike Craven. Dude is a clown and a UTSA grad. More often than not, he will find some way to write an article bashing us. First, we were wrong to fire Littrell. Then we were screwed in the aftermath of the Littrell stuff. Now, we get a C in recruiting without even looking at the entire context of the situation and lack of ratings for some of our players. Don't bother with that guy. You'll usually find some NT grad fighting with him in the comments because he does it to us consistently.

Do you include Rosevelt Smart? The dude was a 3 pt machine until Grant made him play defense!

He was 10 years before my time on campus, but I never knew or saw a reference to him being called "Big Joe" at North Texas. in fact, his real name is Charles, not Joe. His Aunt started calling him Joe, but not Big Joe, as a reference to his size and Joe Louis the famous boxer back then. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Greene

Didn't take any pictures 😐 May have been more NT fans, and less Rice fans, than last year. I guess you could look at the box scores for the official attendence, if you can find the one for last year.

The correct move here for On3 is the one that would benefit Mean Green. That is the mathematically accurate way to go.

On3 is toying with the idea of changing the weighting to 35% On3/247 and 15% rivals/ESPN. This would be a good thing for G5s IMO.

Come on!

I am happy with the 2 or 3 seed. We will have the homecourt advantage, and the 2/3 seeds will have better game times for fan attendance.

I don't have high hopes, but we need a crowd of 5K+ for this one.

When can these kids sign?

At least in modern times (post 1958) taking 4-year periods, this past 4 years has been the best winning percentage-wise: 2019-23 = 82-33 (.713) 1975-79 = 76-32 (.703) 2018-22 = 84-40 (.677) 2006-10 = 87-43 (.669) https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/north-texas/

Wow! I think maybe a child wrote that article.

I just knew you were going to say Seth.

I still haven’t forgiven him for sitting out the bowl game. I understand why he did it, but I’m selfish.

August 4, 1944 - March 5, 2022 Grand Prairie, TX ? Hubert Ferrell Dark, Jr. (named for his father, who was named for the doctor who delivered him), was born Friday, August 4, 1944, and passed to his Savior, Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, on Saturday, March 5, 2022, in Grand Prairie, Texas. He was the third of four children born to Ellener Nettie Carter and Hubert Ferrell Dark in Tyler, Texas. Hubert Jr. graduated from John Tyler High School, Tyler Junior College, and the University of North Texas. He was a he-can-write-the-best-or-can-improve-your-program programmer and computer analyst. This gentle man enjoyed family, music, puns, slap-stick comedy, Mean Green football and travel, especially, family and music (hopefully in that order). An intelligent IT professional, he had a unique, infectious laugh, strong work ethic, and unshakeable faith. He was hired by LTV (Dallas) in 1968 when the company developed their computer department. Hubert enjoyed sharing that during their startup, LTV leased time to the Dallas Cowboys for the running of the Cowboys' playbook. He retired from the (formerly LTV) now Northrop-Grumman Ingalls Shipbuilding facility in Mississippi in 2012. Hubert presented both truth and satire in political postings and expressed concern that many people may not realize that they alone choose where they spend Eternity. He understood that Jesus died for and forgives us and is always bidding us, "Come to Him". Hubert is survived by nieces and nephews, cousins, and his sister Faye. He is predeceased by his parents, his siblings Ruth and Dean, and his beloved daughter Beverly June Dark Anguiano of whom he said, "It was an honor to be her Dad". This kind man was honored during a private family gathering. Place of interment: Kendrick Cemetery, Tyler, Texas. Published by Legacy Remembers from Feb. 2 to Feb. 5, 2023.

The 2023 National Championship trophy for hoops.....is touring the country. This Thursday.....it will be on display at The Super Pit.

For sure. I mean Josh did some things that Tylor didn't, but we've never had someone since I've followed NT (and that basically goes back to my childhood) that is more clutch than Perry.

Just a lurker these days…this place got way too personal. Decided to just walk away…

UNT is up to 62 today, clearly due to beating the spread.

That's a great option.

We just need to win out. Take the decision out of someone else's hands.

Not sure what it means really, but at halftime of the Memphis/Tulsa game, they went over the "mid major" top 10, minus Gonzaga. FAU was #2, SHSU was #5 and UNT came in at #10. Good recognition I suppose.
