I never really thought about it but he has an excellent chance to do just that next year. Here’s the article https://swcroundup.com/news/2018/5/30/wednesday-playcard

Not everyone has a class on Friday and most students treat Thursday as a Friday anyway, so I don’t see a big deal in having a game played at that time. Plus it’s later in the day. I’m excited for it but I guess I’m in the minority. I understand it’s an inconvenience for some but I thought we all wanted national relavancy?

Very exciting indeed. I don’t recall Texas ever coming to the Super Pit before this?

They do have video cameras in some bars. Don’t know which ones but they’ve been set up for reasons like this.

Very excited for what the future holds

Sounds like they posted pictures of two bartenders that had nothing to do with what may or may not have happened to them. That’s not ok, that’s probably why people were upset at them.

Does the football team have an all green uniform combination? That might be interesting or is that too much?

I’ve never seen a track and field event at North Texas but I’ve been to many soccer games and they draw a decent size crowd every time. The crowd was maybe a hundred people but the stands are small and uncovered facing directly into the sun. The 1,000 seat capacity should be enough in my opinion. Although I would expect to see bigger crowds this upcoming season.

It all comes down to which conference they would play in. The Big-12 only has OU, WV, Iowa St., Iowa and the University of Denver with gymnastics teams. No way you break into the PAC-12 or SEC. So the only option would be to play in a Div-II conference...which would put North Texas in direct compitetion with TWU...a powerhouse in gymnastics. It’s just not feasible.

There is a lot of talent in Texas in women’s gymnastics. Unfortunately no D-1 school sponsers women’s gymnastics in this state. TWU is Div-II. And unfortunately the SEC and PAC-12 are where all the talented gymnast want to go. They have crowds of up to 10K or more and have muliti-million dollar facilities. I just don’t think the squeeze is worth juice.

I do remember hearing something about a future partnership in relation to housing on the site of the strip mall where rockin rodeo used used to be. I live within walking distance to campus and I know from experience that the student apartments fill up incredibly fast.

Cool video on the construction of the new track and field complex. Enjoy! GMG

This is a huge problem, it’s crazy to think that only around 6,000 students can live on campus.

I think TWU has gymnastics covered

I’m currently in Laramie visiting family that attends the University of Wyoming, I only say that to provide some context on what I’m about to say. First I understand the point you’re trying to make but these are two vastly different programs that I feel should not be compared. First of all...there is nothing out here. Laramie is small and supportive because what else are they going to do? The town lives or dies on the university. The IPF is a must up here, it’s Wyoming! North Texas is in a bigger market and has to compete with big time programs to get attention, Wyoming simply doesn’t have to do that. Everyone will eventually see this for themselves in 2026 I believe. GMG

September will provide great opportunities for wins against SMU and Arkansas. If North Texas beats SMU we are looking in great shape. The author is hoping for a sellout at Apogee against SMU. GMG https://swcroundup.com/news/2018/5/17/north-texas-september-provides-opportunity

Interesting to see if these schedules will change drastically after 2022-23. That’s when the next round of realignments are being predicted to happen.

I know nothing about tennis, that being said, I think she deserves some recognition as the first ever selection from North Texas to the NCAA Singles Championships. She needs two victories in the tournament to be an All-American, also a first in the program and she has notched a victory over the number two ranked player in the country back in February. Best of luck to her! -GMG http://www.meangreensports.com/sports/w-tennis/spec-rel/051818aab.html

I see Arkansas, Cal, Texas A&M on the schedule the next three seasons. Along with Houston, albeit not a P5 school it’s still an important regional matchup.

I’m really hoping for a win against a P5 team in the near future.

Note to self...never bring up Liberty University ever again. 😅

Do want you want to do, it’s your life. Just please don’t blame everyone else for your inability to repay your student loans or find a job or say that college needs to be free. Life is about choices and if you want to blow 100K on studying geography or underwater basket weaving then that’s your choice don’t make other people pay for it. Thank you and have a nice day

I like that the idea of naming a non athletic building after Mean Joe Greene. I’ll be bold and say that most student athletes would be aware of who he is. Non student athletes who don’t know who he is may look up his history out of curiosity, based on the fact that they live in the dorm. A perfect opportunity to spread athletic culture and history.

Wish her the best! But it was time for a change

I’m just hoping to hear more news about the IPF being built soon. The article states a few months...how much is a few? 😅
