Softball @ Mizzou (4/21-23/23)
Side.Show.Joe replied to Matt from A700's topic in Mean Green Athletics
Winning this Missouri series would set us up nicely for a run at the regular season title. Go Mean Green!!! -
This has to be fake. Doesn't fit with SMU's MO. Not one mention of hookers or blow in the deal.

Softball series versus Charlotte
Side.Show.Joe replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Athletics
UNT did a great job of winning Game 3 to take the series. This was the first time Charlotte has lost a conference series this season. Charlotte 2 UNT 6 Final -

Softball series versus Charlotte
Side.Show.Joe replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Athletics
That was hard to watch. The errors and wild pitches cost us the game last night. Mental mistakes are killing this season. These girls have to get a lot tougher. On a side note.... I'm not one to complain about uniforms, but when the visiting team is wearing more green than we are on our home field, I have a problem. We need to see more Green from this team. More Mean too. -
Very sad to hear of this. I didn't know him well, but I know he truly bled green. His posts and unwavering commitment to UNT served as a great example to those of us that have since joined this board. I will miss him.

UNT gets the sweep... UNT 7 UTEP 3 Final I missed the game. I had a prior obligation, but I was following the live stats. Glad the team got a confidence builder this weekend. Top performers.... Gamble went 2 for 4 at the plate with a homerun and 4 RBI's. Christianson went 2 for 3 at the plate. Smith hit a homerun in 3 plate appearances today.

UNT 6 UTEP 4 The Mean Green were cruising 6-0 in the bottom of the 7th when a few errors and a grand slam made it close. Sweep tomorrow?
-
Great question. It is gray. I wanted green, but they only have gray softball shirts. It looks great, but it'd look better in green.

I've been watching this team all season and we have a lot of young players. So, I only think of the freshmen, when I think of the young players. But, a few do stand out. Sparks has some skill at the plate, but is still adjusting to the college game. I don't trust Sparks glove at 3rd base, as much as I trust Donahoe's. Epperson is as good as they get in the outfield. She has the speed and reads the trajectory of the ball exceptionally well. The girl might have one error all season, and I don't recall her not getting to a ball hit her way. Even as a freshman, I think she is among the best defensive outfielder on the roster. Epperson also has impressive bat speed, but she is also adjusting to college pitching. She needs to be more patient and not swing at the high ones out of the zone. That's my take.

UNT 6 UTEP 3 Final There were some positives in this game. UNT played well on defense and as a team did a better job at the plate. The game really wasn't as close as the score. UTEP got a few late runs. Game 2 will be tomorrow at 4pm on C-USAtv. I just want to add that I got down to Denton this past Tuesday. While there I went by Voertman's and picked up a UNT Softball t-shirt. Since wearing this new shirt on gamedays we are now 2-0. Coincidence? I think not. Go Mean Green!!!

^ This. I was very happy to get the win, but somewhat concerned that our entire offense for the game came from 1 inning.

Breaking: Tylor Perry enters transfer portal
Side.Show.Joe replied to TheReal_jayD's topic in Mean Green Basketball
I think we all heard the story of Perry growing up wanting to play at UNT, just like his cousin Jeffrey Simpson. He got his wish, but I guess it wasn't enough. I guess I'm just old school when it comes to things like loyalty. I am grateful for the time Perry played for UNT, and for the success we had while he wore our uniform. But, he doesn't bleed green. The guys that stay and wear our uniform until they earn their degrees or leave for a professional league, they bleed green.- 181 replies

The Mean Black* Softball versus UAB
Side.Show.Joe replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Athletics
He recruited Gamble. He obviously knows how to recruit and develop players. Whatever is currently hindering our team, it isn't a lack of talent. -
The Mean Black* Softball versus UAB
Side.Show.Joe replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Athletics
I think the girls need time at their positions to gel together. I have no clue why so many of the regular starters were benched today. I have to believe we'd have had a better chance of winning if Rainey, Donahoe, Smith, & Epperson were at their usual places on the field and in the batting order. I have to wonder if DeLong is just guessing and hoping random changes will lead to better results. -

The Mean Green got out of the inning. End of the 4th the score is still 4-1. -

Down 4-1 in the 4th now, and the bases are juiced. -

This is true. The commercials of our opponents are better. Very Sad. -
The Mean Black* Softball versus UAB
Side.Show.Joe replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Athletics
Don't understand why Rainey, Donahoe, Smith, & Epperson are out of the line-up today. Wagoner is a good pitcher, but is she the best DP we have? Right now we are down 3-1 in the top of the 4th in Game 2. -
The Mean Black* Softball versus UAB
Side.Show.Joe replied to El Paso Eagle's topic in Mean Green Athletics
The girls don't look comfortable out there. This season's whole "Built to Win Trophies" campaign was obviously a bad approach that added unnecessary pressure. The players are overthinking out on the field and it's leading to bad defense and errors. They need to relax and just make the routine plays. They need to have fun again. If they do that, good things will happen, and maybe it will all come together by the time we get to the conference tournament. This is a very talented team. Once they all find and settle into their roles on this team, they will make their run at the C-USA title. And yes..... that stupid commercial needs to be scrapped. And I'll take it a step further. Whoever approved that POS should be fired. That crap makes UNT look like an f***ing joke. -
Hey, do you know the situation with Abou?
-
Great Win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So proud of the way this team stepped up tonight, especially with all the McCasland talk. On a related note. Mac's wife was giving him a long talk on the baseline after the win. Hopefully she was telling him she doesn't want to leave.

Very disappointing news. Especially in the wake of learning that FAU will be keeping Dusty May. https://twitter.com/MattNorlander/status/1641576569452806145 If we are going to rise in the college athletics landscape, we have to be able to keep our prized coaches. Sure Hodge is great, but we have to kick the perception of being a stepping stone. If FAU can do it, we should be able to also.

Softball @ UT Arlington (3/29/23)
Side.Show.Joe replied to Matt from A700's topic in Mean Green Athletics
This team is regressing. UT-Arlington is a 12-17 WAC program that we run-ruled a few weeks ago. There is no reason for our team to be playing this bad.
