  1. DENTON, Texas – KeAyla Dove broke her own school record to win the women’s shot put title and highlight the day for North Texas Track & Field Friday at the Red Raider Open in Lubbock, Texas.

    Dove launched a career and school record shot put on her second throw, recording a mark of 56-1.25 (17.10m) that earned her a spot in the finals and eventually stood to win the event title. The sophomore from Houston, Texas, now stands in the top-7 nationally based on marks heading into this weekend. She was ranked No. 11 heading into the meet.

    In her collegiate debut in the 400 meters, freshman Kendahl Tucker took third in the "B" section with a time of 56.07.

    Jake Parchman cruised past his personal best in the men’s weight throw, earning a spot in the final and placing fifth with a mark of 60-10 (18.54m).

    Tyrell Johnson advanced to the finals in both the men's long jump and triple jump, placing seventh (22-11.75, 7.00m) and sixth (46-4.75, 14.14m), respectively.

    In the men's 200m "B" section, freshman Zavion Langrin placed fifth with a time of 21.79. Jaleisa Shaffer earned a spot in the women's weight throw final and finished ninth with a mark of 53-2.25 (16.21m), and Mason Garner finished fifth in the men's 3,000m with a time of 8:41.27.

    The initial USTFCCCA NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Regional TFRI rankings will be unveiled on Jan. 23, and the USTFCCCA national rankings will come out on Jan. 24.

    The Mean Green will be right back in Lubbock next weekend (Jan. 27-28) for the Texas Tech Open at the Sports Performance Center.

    I'm glad this subject came up, because I've always wondered something about the talon hand sign.  I was never in Talons or any spirit group, but I always thought the talon sign should be made with three extended fingers, not just two (excluding the thumb).  You know, since eagles have three "fingers" facing forward and one backward. 

    I know it's hard to make your hand do that, but two fingers bent looks like a lazy peace sign or the Horned Frogs sign. 

    Would you care to share a picture of what you are describing?  I too have struggled to get it right and I have been going to games for awhile.

    Rubin’s shot looks like it has a hitch in it this season. Either that or he brings his shooting elbow further away from his vertical plane and it just looks ugly. Regardless, 9-43 on the season from deep speaks for itself.

    I’ve noticed that about Rubin as well.  He has really struggled and I wonder if it isn’t that he is playing injured.

    … and then compared to Littrell, insinuating he didn’t… even though Littrell brought in a highly-rated/productive DB (way higher than Mr. Hill) coming off injury like Hill, who played, but not well while here.  
    How ‘bout the productive QB coming off injury?    
    I hope Mr. Hill can play for us.  We’re pretty thin at Safety, so it’s certainly worth the risk.

    What highly named DB did Littrell bring in exactly?

    No problem with a player seeking and finding a “better” opportunity for himself. I do have a problem with a P5 poaching our player. No way it’s a coincidence Gaddie randomly enters the portal two days before it closes and immediately is with Ole Miss. Obviously a case of tampering. 

    It is clear tampering.  And the NCAA better do something about it quickly or this whole deal is going to turn to crap.

  6. Has Jared Mosley made any changes in this Athletic department staffing other than football coaches etc?  Seems to me that if we are making adjustments to our football structure and org chart we could also benefit from making changes to the AD staff as well. What occurred at the SMU game with parking was deeply concerning and I hope Jared is not just rubber stamping the existing staff. I’m not saying he has to fire the entire staff but maybe a few changes and putting existing staff in a postion to succeed.
