Please do share your sources! I heard it was a while off since the BB field isn't slated until phase III of the athletic development plan. Also I heard the 250k a year budget was a slight stumbling block.

Yes McGee was cut from the practice squad today, at least he gets the full salary for the year I believe.

Here's the fix. Just send cash. RPC Virus

Just heard Jim Lites President of the Dallas Stars on the Ticket (KTCK) who said there has been official talks with UNT (Specifically with the South campus) about setting up a hockey program. Good news possibly for the club team in Denton maybe with funding??

If that's the case do you think he left for money or opportunity? I believe he just joined the BB staff last year.

Is he on offense or defense? Marquee player?

Per the prospectus it says Johnson is not eligbile "until the end of the fall semester" and on the University website it list Dec 12 as "The end of the fall semester" does that mean he'll debut at TCU on the 13th?

Here's the link. Also a quick question. I heard Shawnson Johnson isn't eligible for the fall season, but is he available during the semester break or do we have to wait until the Spring semester starts? Summer Prospectus

Any mention where or why he was transferring?

Congrats to CD on his newborn, may motivate him even more now towards NBA career. Some interesting insights. Interesting Story

I'll be dissappointed if we're not 4-0 going into the Baylor game.

I had floor seats this year and learned a ton from watching, it truly is a differerent game down there and you see many nuances I didn't catch sitting up higher. Next year I plan on possibly splitting a set since there are so many games, if you're interested drop me a line and we'll see about hammering out the details.

Looks like he will make the cut and is currently in 27th at -2, should help his earnings for the year.

It is actually called the Vic Bubas Cup and is named after the leagues first commissioner, Vic Bubas.

I got this update from athletics. Mean Green Golf Heads To NCAA Central Region DENTON (5/6/03)- The NCAA Division I Men's Golf Committee has placed the 2003 Sun Belt Conference Champion North Texas men's golf team in the Central Region as the 19th seed. The Mean Green will compete for a spot in the NCAA Championship at the Colbert Hills Golf Course in Manhattan, Kansas from May 15-17. The top 10 teams from each regional will advance to the NCAA Championships May 27-30 in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The top two individuals from non-advancing schools at each regional will also advance to the national tournament. The Mean Green enter the field red-hot as they have won their last two tournaments and are getting great individual play from Brad Besler and Zach Atkinson. Besler won the Sun Belt Conference Individual Championship while Atkinson placed third and earned All-Conference honors for a second straight year.

I agree that UNT has a good club team but it is important to remember our club team is playing their club teams, not the same teams that go to the NCAA baseball tourney.

The baseball field is in Phase 3 of the athletic expansion plans, with the football stadium being in phase 2. The main problem is the 250-300k annual operating expenses of fielding a team right now.

Does anyone know when a decision will be reached by NCAA regarding his med. redshirt?

As soon as UNT gets an extra 300k annually for baseball expenses it will be. Note the phase 3 baseball field, there are so many other things in front of it I think it will be a while.

I heard we were looking at a JUCO pg in FL, I guess it didn't pan out.

The verdict is still out since the session isn't over until May (at which point a special session will mostlikely be called for either a. budget or b. school finance) so we'll have to wait and see.

I heard a report on an organization that is matching servicemembers with civilians to help them get the items they can't get overseas. The organization has been doing it since 1995 and I was impressed at how quick I got a servicemember and the items he'd like to get. We got 1 male and 1 female servicemember. Since I was not fortunate enough to serve our country in the Armed services I thought this was a great idea. Operation Military Pride
