Here ya go. And because this is UNT, of course it's the wrong shade of green and uses an outdated logo. Go Mean Green!

We should probably start this thread now. I don't know how long he will make it past the football hire...

I don't remember what I said, but you can post it if I'm still in the running. If not, permission to publicly shame is g

Ha ha!  No need.  You are doing a great job of that all by yourself.

Na, UNT is the one publicly shaming itself. 

UTSA just fired a problem of a basketball coach. UNT hasn't fixed a problem that has been obvious for 3 1/2 years.

But cancers, right?

Still no announcement one way or the other. The optimist hidden way down deep inside me wants to believe that a vote of confidence and a press release announcing Benford's return would have already occurred if that was going to happen.

Lets hope any date is right. I'd buy Tasty Which Wich for a week straight if it guaranteed Benford's release. For a month straight if RV went at the same time.

Never been a press release or public vote of confidence before for Benford's returns. There's just no news and he stays.

But RV specifically did not comment when asked directly by Vito. I think @Brett Vito needs to repeat that question and see if he gets an answer.

...or oil isn't doing well (which it's not), or both.

My estimated guess has long passed.  I could have sworn Ernster would have been thirsty for more after the exciting FB coaching search.

Thanks alot.  I just had to spend 30 minutes answering the question "who are these mfers and how did they get my picture?!!"

Just fire Benford and get a coach that is ready to win and make something happen.

Was at the softball game yesterday and UTSA 's AD was there supporting the team don't known if RV does this.

He does.  But, like most, he can't make every game.  But, I have seen him at several of the games I have attended the last couple of years....same for tennis and volleyball.

30 minutes?   What's the point of keeping RV around if not to handle these kind of inquires??

My prediction:  They are working out the financials and will announce this next Friday, 3/12, that Benford is gone.

From your lips to God's ears! Don't you mean 3/18? Are you using some crazy West Texas calendar?

Not bad at internet.  Just recently discovered this, don't think he got out of his chair for two days.

"Man David, those guys are blasting me!"

Was he really shocked? That's worrisome.

Really more directed at RV, but I can see why he would say that.

Is there really a difference at this point? 

Sinking money into a program and buildings is nice, but it means little without winning, and even less if you tolerate losing and support the main cause of that losing.

      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.
