Wren, thanks for stopping by our place. We really enjoyed your stay and wish you well on the rest of your journey. GMG

Morgan came in the last !:34 of the Fresno State game...not sure that answers your question

Due to all the missed practices during the flu bug, this might be a benefitial game to play and work on some specific things against someone other than ourselves in practice

Especially the Chamber of Commerce, I would think.

Worth listening to these interviews. If you want even more background on the breaking of the color barrier in Texas in major college football, read The Game Changers by Jeff Miller. UNT was the place it happened and the Unity Plaza will honor the men who broke the barrier. Dedication at 1:30 pm Saturday before the Homecoming Game

I believe I saw in a previous post a reference to an interview with these two gentlemen. I didn't have time to read/listen to it at the time and can't find the post. Is there a link to this interview?

Seems as if I saw something a few weeks ago about an interview with Abner Haynes and Dr. Leon King, but I can't find it. Does anyone have a link to this interview?

Agree...will take another good coaching job to make sure the team is not looking ahead and overconfident about playing FIU.

Minor or major injury?

Bummer...bad luck for him after coming back this year. How about Johnson? Will he be back this year? If not, that would put us down 2 running backs that have played a big part in our offense this year.

If Seth gets an extension, will Phil Bennett stay? I believe he is on the last year of a two-year contract. Big part of the improvement of the defense. Is there someone in the wings to replace him if he retires?

I too started parking in the handicapped spots in the blue lot for years after giving up my club level seats and prime handicapped spot in the white lot due to missing so many games due to health issues. Was able to ride the shuttle with the wheelchair lift to the gate by the staduim store. There were times is was hard to find a handicapped spot close to the shuttle waiting area in the blue lot, but that was during the Mason Fine era when attendance was better. Not sure how it has been the last couple of years, but that was the only way I was able to attend the games so I valued having the handicapped spots available in the blue lot. I don't believe they had wheelchair lifts on the shuttle buses coming from the orange lot back then, but I may be mistaken. I remember forgetting my white lot parking pass for one game and having to park in the orange lot and just remember it being more difficult to manuever and that was before I was wheelchair bound.

Really enjoyed the podcast. It was very enlightening to listen to Coach Mac talk about his philosopy and approach to the game. His knowledge is extensive and very analytical; yet his honest feelings for his players' welfare shows as well. I would love for my son to play for someone like him...very passionate about getting the best out of his players in all aspects of life...demanding, but caring. I hope we can keep him for a long, long time because I see nothing but good things for UNT basketball with him at the helm and Coach Hodge by his side. He is the first to admit his assistant coaches are a big part of the team's success. GMG...go Coach Mac!

Amen! I have mentioned this in the past. It is a pet peave of mine to not be able to hear the questions and just seems very bush league.

Long past due recognition.

So Women's Basketball is not considered Mean Green Basketball? I like and support both teams and consider them both as Mean Green basketball teams.

Why was this moved from the Basketball Forum? Well done and basketball related and needs more visibility, IMO

The NIT is the opportunity at hand and we need to take advantage of it and the fans have to do their part...support the team, attend any games possible, and help move the program in a positive direction. We are all disappoinrws about missing the NCAA tourney, but life has its bumps in the road and we have to persevere! It takes the team and the fans to have a great program...GMG

Yes, they are the ones who put in all the work and effort and played the game. Just hope they can bounce back and make winning the NIT their new goal...I think they will because they are competitors! They have control of the situation which, unfortunately, fans don't. GMG

Any chance of the women going to the WNIT?

Hate that the conference basketball games for men and women are often scheduled at the same time with one at home and the other away. Does anyone know if the AAC schedules the same way? I personally liked the doubleheaders although I think the women were at a disadvantage always playing the early games.

Things I would like to see during tomorrow's game against UTEP: 1. Better free throw shooting 2. A healthy Thomas Bell (ankle) 3. Tyler Perry's shooting getting back on track 4.. Less fouls from Abdu Winning with improvements in these areas would putting us in good shape going into the tournament. GMG

Yes, I have been having nightmares that UTSA will do to us in basketball what we did to them in football. The saving grace is that I think Coach Mac will have them mentally prepared to not let this happen and that our guys are too disciplined to let it happen. GMG

Then let's do it! GMG

Thanks for the pictures, Plummer. I have been an Mean Green Fan for over 55 years. Health and mobility issues the last few years have kept me from attending, although I still have season tickets...always hope for a better future! It was great to see so many familiar faces...sure do miss ya'll. Fond memories of the Hots Springs conference tournaments, NCAA tournament game in Oklahoma City, and the Blakley and JJ teams that were so fun to watch. To you "less mature" fans, enjoy these current wonderful teams. We are blessed to have Coach Mac leading our Mean Green and have players full of grit and a winning attitude. Can't physically make it to the games, but thank goodness for the internet (may have to give in and get ESPN+) and cable TV (I can get Stadium and ESPN3 and that helps). Haven't moved on to streaming yet, but a few more games like the last few and I may have to finally transition to the modern way of watching games! GMG
