    If we've got this much despair after one loss, if we lose 8 like we did in Littrell's first season it's going to look like the Jonestown Massacre around here.

    I really see it more like we care.  If we didn’t care you wouldn’t see much of a reaction.  I feel that passion is a good thing.

    for now, you get that vote.  Time for SMU to start winning some hardware.

    I think way too much is being made about this money.  Maybe they're right?

    You've never had a problem with money before, and you still couldn't win consistently.  But maybe this is the answer?  Your NIL endeavor hasn't blossomed yet.  I just read someone post that it may actually be bottoming out.

    I don't think enough is being made about how the world will perceive a bottom dweller in the ACC/BXII upon the next shuffle.  If we, or anyone as a MWC/AAC member, can plant our roots where we stand and grow, what will our brand look like in 5-10 years compared to SMU?  What will our fanbase look like compared to SMU?  We are one coaching hire away (is Morris the answer?) from matching y'all on the field.   And, unlike y'all, we can grow our fanbase.  I"m not convinced - especially given how this unfolded - that simply being in the ACC defaults you ahead of a top-tier AAC/MWC brand for a potential P2 invitation.

    Good thoughts and I agree

  14. Welp Tech drove us pretty good

    LUBBOCK, Texas – The UNT soccer team suffered its first loss of the 2023 season on Thursday with a 6-1 loss at Texas Tech. 

    The Mean Green (4-1) got a goal Thursday from sophomore Summer Brown. It’s her team-leading fifth goal of the season. Brown has now scored more goals this year than she scored all last year when she was named to the 2022 CUSA All-Freshman team.

    UNT’s goalkeeper Maddie Ogden made five saves versus the Red Raiders (4-0-1).

    North Texas will stay on the road as they travel to Oral Roberts on Sunday for a 1 p.m. CT kickoff. The match will be streamed on the Summit League Network. UNT defeated ORU last season 4-0. Then freshmen Kat Burnell scored a hat trick in the four-goal victory a year ago.

  17. Jeff Traylor wants the money to match the recruiting effort as UTSA enters the AAC

    in Mean Green Football

    Posted

    In a typical recruiting cycle, UTSA coach Jeff Traylor used to plan on hosting less than 40 official visits. 

    Prospects often used just two or three of their five allowed trips to different programs, keeping the Roadrunners comfortably under the annual limit of 56.  

    But the NCAA this year implemented significant changes to the process, removing the cap on the number of official visits an athlete can take and increasing the amount of visits each school can host to 70. 

    Traylor said he anticipates filling every available spot, which means finding money for airline tickets, meals for prospects and their guests, and hotel rooms at Embassy Suites or La Cantera.  

    The bills start to stack up even before the price of coaches making high school visits enters the equation.

  18. Washington State president hoping to rebuild Pac-12 with Stanford and Cal, possibly expand in future

    in Conference ReAlignment

    Posted

    The Pac-12 has found themselves down to just four programs, but unfortunately for two of those programs they do not have as much autonomy over their future as the others.

    Stanford and Cal in a sense have the "upper-hand" of the remaining four programs being that they actually have a future trending towards being in a Power 4 conference. However, just because things are trending in that direction doesn't mean they are a certainty. The two Bay Area schools need one more vote to gain approval to join the ACC, and while momentum was working in their favor as of Monday when a vote was supposed to occur there was a horrific mass shooting at North Carolina's campus that led to the postponement of the vote out of respect. 

    While football and realignment is the least important thing with such a tragedy occurring, Stanford and Cal are now really pressed for time as ESPN's Pete Thamel provided a deadline of Week 1 for this move to happen. It was also reported earlier on Tuesday that the call hasn't been rescheduled, again out of respect, but that there hasn't been a necessary flip.

    The Mean Green Baseball Project would like to wish the U.N.T. football team the best of luck this weekend in their season opener and also in their 2023 season.  In a show of support we have purchased 20 season tickets per home football game which we are donating to different kids groups each game.  The athletic department was very upfront with us when we met with them in that the football team does not get the support they need with season ticket sales and we are doing our part to help out.

  23. SMU's Hail Mary to play big-time football again

    in Conference ReAlignment

    Posted

    The wild spending of aggressive, wealthy SMU football boosters once killed the program — via an NCAA “death penalty.” That was the 1980s, when local businessmen kept buying talented recruits.

    Now the businessmen are back — a new generation, at least — trying to save the program before a final churn of conference realignment leaves the prideful Mustangsbehind forever.

    Give SMU backers this much: four decades ago, they never blinked at the price of a running back and they sure aren’t blinking now at the far steeper cost of conference realignment. This time it could cost $200 million.
