  1. I read an article recently that stated the University of Nebraska might be expelled from the Big 10 because it doesn't meet AAU criteria. There are only 71 members in this organization with only three being in Texas. Rice, A&M and UT. Tulane and S. Florida are the only AAC schools listed. California has several and membership is by invitation only. With UNT being a Teir One research university, is this something we should strive for? Are we even close to meeting the criteria? Research seems to be the name of the game to attain this status. For those in the know, please educate this minion. Thanks!

    Bob here has a point... Fund our players, fund our program, buy tickets, pay for parking, overpay on concessions and merchandise.... all while the product inevitably withers away due to all of the rules currently in place. We're getting had coming and going. While the ignorant and rabid fan bases of the big boys can scalp their dumbass alum/fans, I don't think ours will play this game. And if our fans do, for how long? What is the ROI? 

    And I think the pill would be easier to take if we knew the athletic department personnel were truly committed to the university. But we have a long and ugly history of athletic department personnel being committed to athletic department personnel. Outside of Patrick Cobbs, players or coaches or administrators, who really gives a shit about the University of North Texas? I think it's time, more than ever, to start hiring North Texas people. In this new age of collegiate athletics, passion and meaningful work will have to carry the torch. There is no better way to infuse the athletic department with passion than hiring North Texas people. 

    I nominate Harry, SUMG, Firefightin Rick and Scott Campbell and UNT Lifer. For starters.

    We seem to occupy a very unique and miserable position in the current NIL landscape. 

    1. Our players are very good.

    2. Our collective doesn’t have much $ to pay them.

    3. Other schools have collectives that are willing to pay them a lot more.

    It is really pretty simple. 

    The only way for us to compete right now is to identify and acquire undervalued assets. And then when the marketplace puts greater value on those assets, we have to start over and do it again. 

    Unless any of you guys have a few million $$$ you want to send to Harry via bank draft…

    I am certainly frustrated and disappointed with the current situation, but I have invested too much and care too deeply to bail on UNT basketball now. 

    It is just going to make it all the sweeter when we finally prevail. 

    I think you've nailed it.

    New for this year, you get to renew your season tickets but they WON'T guarantee where you'll be sitting.

    They're removing the bleachers from the middle three lower sections of the home side and replacing them with seat-backed chairs...and you'll get to pick your spot based on MGSF priority points

    Only for that section?

    if Hodge does his job we're gonna be fine and all you bitching about NIL and the portal will be right back watching winning basketball next season and cheering for guys we landed through NIL and the portal. get over it. 

    I suppose that's true if you're a generic sports fan who doesn't make an emotional investment in your favorite team/school. Perhaps in this new Era that's a mistake. Where we sit, we make it a point to cheer and encourage the players by name And I know they hear us.  We care about them as people, not some nameless player wearing the uniform. They are like family to us. As fans we buy tickets, attend as many games as possible, donate to the scholarship fund and collective and anything else we can do to help the team. It's a financial, time and emotional investment that takes a toll on us and losing our team  like this is like losing a family member to a cross country job promotion. This sucks big time and it hurts. I suppose I'll have to adapt or get out all together.

    Junior Skylar Savage was honored as American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week, the league announced on Monday.

    The Van, Texas native tallied two of the three wins in the circle over conference rivals Tulsa, including a complete-game seven inning shutout on Saturday. She held the Golden Hurricane to a .152 batting average while she allowed zero runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts.

    She's a keeper!

    This is fun getting to play some "Brand" teams.   That's how you build your own Brand, by beating some along the way over multiple years!

     Now, if we'd just wear green for a change so we establish our own brand.

    Not as long as the players are picking the jerseys, which is clear that they are. They love the black jerseys.

    Which is another reason we have no identity when it comes to recognizing us by uniform. Different game, different uniform. Our primary color is green not black.

    I love the greens, as you might have guessed. It's reminds me of the Celtics.

    Not sure about him but I was and the AAC refs are absolutely atrocious.  They were basically trying to punish us for leaving this crappy conference.  Good riddance, as we now move to conference with decent referees.

    Thanks. And good riddance to you too.

    That or ribs.   Saw him come back to the bench for a few seconds, then went back again.  

    Hoping he can go in the 2nd.

    Preliminary reports are that he's hurt pretty bad. Will probably not return.
