Haha... It's a small NAIA college in Wichita, Friends University.
They actually have a random thing going for jazz and I once upon a time supported a small tour of the Three O’Clock Lab Band to headline their jazz fest and back the legendary vocalist Carmen Bradford. So there you go, a small UNT connection.

Okay, but sidebar–
Is it a good or bad omen that Coach Morris has gone with the Dr Phil look?

I actually imagine we’ll see a lot of these OOC-but-long standing rivalry cessation announcements coming as the realignment landscape continues to erupt.

So how can the PAC maintain P5 status with the media rights going to Apple Streaming and all these Universities leaving? Yea...streaming maybe the future but it ain't right now and might be a while before that comes close to being true...
Attitudes are changing rapidly on this as experience does, in seemingly six- to nine-month advances. The next big domino here will be how people take and consume NFL Sunday Ticket being exclusive to YouTube and YouTubeTV.

This stuff is ugly.
I'd argue that we still don't have options. The most requested Nike sideline items have never been available to us.
I'll stop moaning and groaning about merch when the items the staff wear on the sideline are made available to the public.

ALSO!
Per the Green Room folks (Dave Campbell’s ROF): code MGREEN for first time (15%) and continuing (10%) customers.

I don't think they did a very good job of reading this fan base's interest in past logos or eras. No Flying Worm says they don't really know North Texas' athletic history. Fail.
Their whole deal is to dive and offer more rarely used historical designs and not clutter current and readily available offerings. They actually teased that they had designs ready to go back when we beat Purdue in March Madness, and being Indiana grads they were champing at the bit to drop them. From what I understand, the typically insular thinking of UNT’s UBSC stymied them at that time.
I’ve always loved the Homefield folks for being steady supporters of the college sports media that I put my faith and trust in. Also, some of the softest apparel you will ever find.
I’m going to pick up the 50s war eagle sweater and look forward to when they do a brand refresh likely before the holidays.

Thanks. I guess college athletics is now officially a professional endeavor. I wonder if UNT and us fans will up our game and pay for the talent it takes to win in this new age of college football.
Reframe : it always was a professional endeavor. The system is just catching up to that reality in fits and starts.

In the back of my mind, I have wanted to believe what you're saying, but then I saw this. I don't think I'm seeing these kind of numbers anywhere else.

Ooh, let me be clear. I’m not endorsing a•ny•thing Deion Sanders does. He’s ultimately in the Coach Prime®️ business first and foremost, and that perhaps is the most transparent bit.

18:37-47:47 if you want the good stuff and 21:20 for the practice tape stuff in particular.
I just want to make the distinction that people have *more* of a problem when it’s flashy Prime doing things very publicly rather than the same things happening per the norm and on background with the guise of “respectability” through amateurism. It’s the underlying hypocrisy of a multi-billion dollar entertainment business that treats its best assets in the same bullsh- way a lot of massive enterprise does, only without appropriate W2 payroll.

I'm sure it goes on many places, probably in a coaching office, not with a camera pointed at kids faces to see their reactions being told to leave the program. "flashy Prime" wanted it filmed and televised, because that's what his show is all about...being a show. It's not classy.
Never said it was classy. Did say it was honest and truer to how collegiate sports operates; that of an entertainment business in most every respect except that it clings to a false veneer of something more noble or loyal because College™.

You do realize that most of the players innthe portal never find a home. He wasn’t doing them any favors.
Absolutely, and neither does almost every other coaching staff that does this. I’m just pointing out the slant when it’s “oh look at flashy Prime” doing something that’s absolutely standard practice.
Which makes things like what our coaches are doing for that grad transfer DLineman Johnson a pleasant surprise.

I don't believe Coach Morris would do it, but some would....
Coach Prime told players when he arrived at Colorado, in his intro meeting with them, to "hit the portal". Some left then, but in just the last 9 days 28 CU players have entered the portal, including the star receiver from the recent spring game, lol.
Actually, what Prime did is exactly the norm across this entire sport, you just don’t usually have it broadcast with a continuously running camera crew as he does. There were a lot in the coaching and media world that were impressed with the transparency and candor therein.

Agree that during the harsh afternoon sunlight it does look weird. They should have made it able to open up or something. At night time when you can see the lights inside it doesn't look too bad.
Outside of the aesthetics of a stadium and as a standalone football facility they did a really good job. At least IMO.
It's still amateur and – frankly – indicative of one of the reasons why LaTech is being left behind in CUSA.

Yes, please, let's discuss all the advantages to recruiting players to play Division 1 basketball on a stage because your school has absolutely no facilities. It was the one place in America that players could fall over the edge into an orchestra pit.
WAIT. WHATTTTTTTT. That's not some absurd photoshop??

I'm in Seattle. Should've clarified, I'm Mean Green alone.
Seattle freeze is a little overrated. And to be fair I almost have to watch the game alone, these end of the year basketball games have turned me into a loud clapper and yeller.
Oh I know re: the freeze. Just kidding.
Wish I had made the connection sooner! I’m just enjoying this present lead in Shoreline and would love to have another Mean Green watch bud up here.
