Purdue just went up 28-24 7:21 in 3rd quarter.  Gotta say Birdsong looks like a good QB.  Marshall is hanging tough but I worry about their depth heading into 4th.  Pursues oline is starting to move people around.

Watching this game just reinforces C-USA is a very solid league.

Sure do. We have no P5 teams coming to Apogee until at least 2021 and most likely beyond with this AD doing the scheduling.

But, of course you know that.

Yep...sure do...but I am not bitching about it with every breath like some continue to do.  But, you knew that too

Plus...I want Army, Navy, SMU, Tulsa, Vanderbilt, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Air Force, etc. at Apogee.  Not the big P5's you are constantly whining about.  But, you read this board, so you knew that as well.

Right, you want us to stay where we have always been. Got it.

I'd like us to finally act like an FBS program, especially like EVERY SINGLE ONE of our conference mates.

In other news, it looks like this game is going down to the wire. Imagine, a game against a P5 in your own stadium going down to the wire. What a concept.

Imagine winning a game against a P5 in your home stadium. Marshall had that opportunity and took advantage of it. RV won't give UNT, and most importantly UNT players, that opportunity for 10 plus years (even after we took advantage of it the last time we had it).

Indiana.  You forget that win over a Big Ten team at Apogee?  Imagine that...winning a home game over a P5 in Apogee.

Congrats to Marshall.  Played a great game and made plays when they needed to do so to seal the win.  Well, there is 1:05 left...I hope I don't jinx Marshall in the last 60 seconds.

 

Nope...no way...Marshall has this!  Congrats CUSA brother!

DIdn't forget it at all. That's why I said correctly that RV won't give these kids another chance to prove they are capable for 10 plus freaking years! 2011 to 2021, at least! All because he is too lazy to get it done. They just quoted Marshall's AD as saying that they will only play 1 and 1s.

Must be nice to have a FBS quality AD. Maybe someday.

Tell me we have a prayer at Marshall. In fact from this week's games UTEP seems the only possibility  I am sure you can look for 1,500 chilled fans at Apogee on a Thanksgiving weekend.

UNT90... Is that you?  Come on Jim.  We haven't even played a game as yet.  Perhaps you should see the team in a game or two before you just go and write the season off.  The Mean Green beats SMU and then Rice at home and you might change your tune.  UNT loses both of those games and I might join you in sitting through another disappointing season for the Mean Green.  Yes, sitting through is correct as we both would be in that 1500 size crowd you predict.  Win, lose, draw...we'll be there.  

PS...I still have that wager $$$ you handed me to hold for you...thought about spending it a couple of times on some new Mean Green gear for you and MeanGreenTexan, but decided against it.  :-)

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
