  1. The coaching staff seems to be pretty high on a few of our OL with the Mayfield appeal, a preseason watch lists coming in for Mose and the Woodworth move.   I might have missed it somewhere but Why the demotion for Jordan Murray?   I am all about putting the best 5 out there, I just find it odd that our starting LT is now a 2nd string Guard.

  2. I expect the SMU game to be one of the top 3 most attended games in Apogee history.   Maybe even the most attended.   We should have a little bit of momentum coming into the season and bringing back almost all of a top 25 offense in the country should be a good start for attendance!

  3. After last night's amazing CBI Tournament victory I have been evaluating my favorite moments in Mean Green sports that I have personally experienced and wanted to share my top 3.   We have such a diverse crowd here on GMG with years of experience with joy and heartbreak of following this crazy ass University, I wonder what other top 3 lists would be.

     

    1:  Tearing Down the Goal Posts after winning the Sun Belt was the first time I remember being truly invested in the team and the University.  It was a defining moment in my studies at the University and is probably a major reason I am as big of a fan as I am now.   That night was an amazing night, I made a bunch of good friends and became a fan of UNT for good.

    2.  CBI Tournament.  I couldn't narrow it down to one game, though Game 3 might have something to say about it.  These past 2 weeks have been a truly awesome and fun experience.  I was at all of the home games and it was amazing to watch the crowd get bigger and bigger each game.  I had a tear in my eye watching Smart slam the ball to the floor in triumph as the buzzer sounded.  what a moment!

    3.  The Stand...   What can you say about that...   I have never in my life seen anything quite like it.  I still find myself watching the youtube video, hearing George Dunham's play by play and getting a bit worked up.    We were in the opposite end zone on the front row and making all of the noise!  Somehow I thought that it was ok the slap a brick wall to add to the noise...  my hands told me otherwise for days afterwards.  I bought my season tickets for the next year because of that series and have been sitting up front ever since.

     

    Just thinking through these moments brings back some proud memories and good times.   It was quite enjoyable to be able to add to that list these past couple weeks and I can't wait for next season in all sports!

  4. I thought that Coach Mac did a great job taking the ball out of Wooridge's hands there at the end.  We needed those free throws as they were fouling like crazy.   

     

    I hope that Ryan can develop a bit of a mid range game this offseason...  more importantly he needs to hit those FT!

     

    What a game, Go Mean Green

    I'm not quite there yet.  I go in to these games with the feeling of impending doom, 5 minutes in that gives way to "This can't be happening again," 10 minute mark feelings become, "Wow, this team is on a roll," and by halftime I am giddy with excitement.  The second half just becomes a how big of a margin can we win by and convincing myself we should be in the Sweet 16.

    Admission: I start getting nervous in the second half when the leads have shrunk to around 15 which is ridiculous.

    This is exactly how i am, nervous in the second half!    As these last 2 games have played out we start winning and building leads! At UNT!!!   No lead is safe in my head I guess.  If it were any other team playing I would be calling it church with a 25+ point lead and less than 10 minutes to go....    UNT is playing?   No lead is safe... But damnit if this isn't ridiculously fun!  

     

    I can't wait to get back into the Pit on Wednesday!
