[****OFFICIAL CAL va. UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***]

Literally no attempts to actually tackle. Everyone looking for the body check

As somone that has played hockey my whole life I can say that the DFW area has actually become one of the better regions for hockey development.  We have quite a few quality rinks, lots of national and international tournaments are held here, and some very good youth development clubs.  A lot of kids have been drafted into the CHL (major jr hockey) which is the pathway most take to the NHL.    

I think the school could make it work, sure they would need a rink, however the demand for ice is still high in dfw so they could probably make money with it, in addition to adding other wither sports programs (figure skating and curling)

 

Definitely agree that we have the talent pool. I grew up playing AAA hockey and the explosion of top talent in the DFW area happened after I had already hung up the skates. No doubt we could get some solid players to stay home, but I'm more concerned that the school wouldn't get behind the expenditure involved with an on-campus rink. It's also worth noting that ASU only went NCAA after nearly a decade of domination at the ACHA level. Our ACHA club is mediocre at best and frequently loses badly to other regional teams like Arkansas.

[Why don’t we start up an ice hockey squad?]

UNT does field a club team playing in the ACHA. To become an NCAA program, you must first build a rink on campus. Some southern schools have managed to do this with some success (Alabama-Huntsville and Arizona State). It would take a huge booster investment, and I just don't see that kind of love for amateur hockey in Texas just yet.

[What can we do to be more attractive to the AAC?]

Maybe buy a nice outfit or two, start going to the gym, perhaps a new haircut.

[Uniforms for Saturday?]

Looking forward to the December 7th kits

[USM Line]

My confidence in this team is absolutely shot. I would love to be proven wrong, but there's no way I can confidently say we even make this a game at this point.

[fingers crossed for a General Admission ticket deal for Saturday.]

Got an email yesterday with 4/$45 tickets. Here is the link.

[Houston vs. Tulane tonight]

Woooooohoooo boy they are gonna be mad as hell next weekend. Should be fun

[Do UTSA fans display rivalry?]

 

this is what I think of when I see a whole paragraph angrily asserting we aren't a rival

[Attendance predictions UTSA]

I see this as an opportunity to throttle somebody and get the house packed for Houston, so I'm not too worried about attendance in this one. As long as we do the throttling.

What uniform are the Mean Green going with Sat?

Which one? UNT pretty left friendly in my experience. 😉

What you learned:

- SMU is Dallas' team and you will never have a large presence here. 

- Your defense is atrocious.

- When we have coaching stability, we will win this game. 

- Mason Fine is great, but still human.  

Who's excited for next year without Mason Fine as your QB?!

I guarantee you that people in Dallas don't give half a shit about SMU.

Just remember UNT Fans, you lose your most important player after this year, and a bunch of other seniors. We lose very few. Might want to leave the women and children at home next year. 

Imagine being this cocky about p5 retreads that don't give a shit about your school at all. Also SMU still sucks.

[A forgotten GMG.com tradition: Haiku]

An old tradition

Will it catch on yet again?

SMU still sucks

[Y’alll. Come on.]

Honestly it just looked like our D got bored. The more I watch the replays, the better I feel about their play early on.

[***OFFICIAL ACU vs. UNT in-Game Discussion***]

Kentworthy is a good punter. That might actually end up saving our ass at least once.

Smu defense isn't inspiring me yet. It seems like a great match up

Yeah our D looks bad, but SMU looks bad too. AState giving them a scare right now.

[***OFFICIAL ACU vs. UNT in-Game Discussion***]

Mason to Jason is a great theme for a game like this

[ESPN+. ? ? ?]

I've got it live on ESPN+ via Roku app.

I disagree with every point the author makes.  What a knucklehead.  He fits the definition of millennial.   

What do you think the definition of millennial is? Because the only definition I know is having been born between the mid 80s and mid 90s

[Column: Why Khairi Muhammad shouldn’t be a team captain]

Y'all stay mad. I love Khairi as a player but I don't hate this take. I expected a much bigger blowback from his whole incident and was surprised when the team and school sorta waved it off.

I grew up going to Fouts and watched us play there all of my college years (and beyond).   I became a die hard in that place.  

Seeing where we are now, in terms of facilities and bright future, there should be ZERO current students who don’t fall in love with the Mean Green.  

I saw my first UNT game as a high school student. My dad was visiting for the weekend and tickets were cheap, so we went to a ULM/UNT game at Fouts. I was absolutely clowning on UNT at that point because the whole thing seemed like a joke to a guy who played HS football in Texas. If I went back and time and told that 17 year old kid how much has changed and what it looks like now, I'm sure he wouldn't believe me. Stuff like this makes me very proud of my alma mater, as goofy as it seems.

Side note: Shout out Zack Womack and Charles Ashford, Dion is a massive human being and the results of the work are apparent. 

 

Yeah I couldn't believe how he looked next to mortal humans like the rest of us. Dude is freakin yoked.

I heard the Ath. Dept. is really focused on selling the Houston game.

I bought tickets for myself and 10 others the other day, and most of the premium seating (sideline views) was accounted for. I think we have a great chance of selling this one out if we don't lay a stinker in our first 4.
