Matt from A700

Let's keep targeting the Kansas colleges! We need a contingent of Mean Green fans to support the team in Wichita.

I'd like to have an actual 3 as well. Someone Aaron's size but a little stronger, who can handle the ball well, and can threaten to get some easy points at the hoop just as well as he can threaten to make a 3.

The game against Memphis (around 2800 IIRC?) was our fifth-highest attended game in history. Hope in a couple years it's not even in the Top 10!

But can he coach them to hit their free throws in the clutch, and to finish those bunnies at the rim!

His welcome gift from the university should be a working shot clock! Anywho, I've seen a lot of compliments about him, sure. 10 to 20 wins from Year 1 to 2 is great. But staying in the conference makes me wonder how much effort Rice actually put into a coaching search. We know they obviously don't care to upgrade their facilities.

My buddy and I went to the tournament they played at Arkansas last season. Big fan of Bogle Park. Not saying we need an SEC-sized complex yet, but it'd be cool to have a few suites on either side of the pressbox, green pull down seats behind home plate, maybe like five rows of bleachers in left field, incorporate a "tailgate homerun porch" like we currently have at The Lace in right field, and a grass beam in center field like at the old Rangers ballpark.

Nice to have champions on your staff!

I am still a foreigner to all the rules of soccer, but exciting news! I thought we underperformed in our first season in the AAC, not even making the conference tournament.

I get it, you pay money for a game, you should be able to at least see the game. But many UNT fans need to find a medium that's closer than the group that was standing all conference tournament, trying to provide some homecourt advantage, than the group that would go on the Willis Library Wall of Fame for good behavior!

I have no problem believing they do for most of the entities that ask. But for a lot of my ideas including this one it's something we just can't wait to happen. We've got to start the dialogue with these high school student organizations. In my short time organizing group outings at away games, I've found out that most non-art nerds would be interested in attending a game, they just never thought about it, and especially after graduating there's nobody else guiding them to go to a game. Before the men's basketball game at Rice, I spent the last week before searching UNT alumni on LinkedIn and filtering out the Houston peeps. In that short notice I was able to woo the interest of four parties buying 8 extra tickets, and gained contacts for the future who said they'd be interested in going, but understandably already had plans that weekend. There was some initial weird feeling before sending messages off to strangers, but that wore off. I had a lot of great conversations. The university needs to be more aggressive in forging relationships with the community in ways that don't seem like they're soley after your money.

It is crazy how many people I talk to - whether they went to UNT the same time I did, or whether they went to UNT 20 years ago like my boss - who have still never been to a single basketball game.

Thank you, I've been trying to find a way to put this. Also, I know we want the most qualified people in these important roles in the AD but some actual UNT alumni who want to see our athletics succeed before any other P5 team and will work hard to make that a reality would be nice too.

After a huge sweep of Tulsa, the ladies will go for the sweep of UT Arlington this Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Allen Saxe Field in A-town (do people call it that?). If you're close to Arlington, join us for the game to give the ladies some home-away-from-home cookin'! As of right now, I should be able to get people added to the pass list for free. So let me know if you want to join our group.

I would think we could get a good showing to the Tech game, better than Arky in 2018. Who here would be interested in staying at the same place if a group discount could be acquired at a reasonable hotel?

While a Final Four team would definitely get our head coach swooped up, I'm optimistic a coaching change wouldn't throw us off course much anymore. This is the first time we've had seven straight winning seasons. While losing here isn't going to get death threats like at the P6 schools, I feel the pressure is greater now for us to succeed. And with the rise of social media it is easier for the AD to feel the pressure. As much of a fan I am of Wren and Jared, their availability on social media also leaves them subject to hearing displeasures much more often than Rick might have. I don't think he was on Twitter.

So it sounds like we need to buy an entire section of season tickets! 🤔 I may not be in the financial situation to be a major donor of the program but I try to make up for it for going to as many games as possible. 39 so far this school year across all six specator sports. While I'm still physically able I plan to keep being rowdy and holding the refs accountable from as close to the court as I can (while refraining to curse if there's kids sitting nearby). I try not to stand as much if there's people directly behind us, but a lot of our crowd needs to be better at recognizing when we're grabbing momentum and get louder. There's more instances than us dribbling out a win with 20 seconds left to get on your feet and make some noise. Also, watching March Madness and I'm seeing a lot of non-students standing throughout the game from the front row to the top. The more energetic fans need to be closer to the court.

Huge weekend which started with four 5-1 teams tied atop the AAC and ended with just two 8-1 teams. That series at home against FAU is gonna be huge! Updated standings below. Note ECU took 2 of 3 from Charlotte, the CUSA refugee who gave us the most trouble last year. Those were ECU's first two wins of conference play after going 21-2 in nonconference. If you're like me and Arlington is a closer drive to you from home or work than Denton, come out Tuesday night at 6 to support the team as they try to sweep UTA in 2024! SCHOOL CONF CPCT.

Our circle has season tickets spread out across the Pit, but yup! We're considering just buying a few rows together next year (just have to figure out which section), because all of us have had run-in's with those types of fans this year.

I finally bought season tickets this year after a few years of continuing to stand in the student section. Now that the Maniacs have established themselves, we tried to bring noise on the other end. But we need some of the old farts to stop telling the energetic fans to sit down/be quiet. Those people should go sit up in the higher rows!

Mikayla is on one this year! Sixth homer already after 9 last year. Hopefully we won't need late game heroics to complete the sweep tomorrow.

Still missing bunnies, still shooting ourselves in the foot.

Death, taxes, and A-Scott in foul trouble.

This halftime deficit feels worse than others we've had this season. Not sure I trust we can outscore Seton Hall by 9 in the second half.

Well at least just one more bucket and we'll have more first half points than FAU did yesterday.

Brutal run and wasted fast break opportunity.
