Now that we have played the opener, what are your predictions for our record for the rest of the season? For those of you who thought we were a 5-7 or better type team, do you still feel that way or have you changed you views because of the loss to SMU?

I am on record for 2-10, so I haven't changed my thoughts. That said, if we lose this weekend, I'm fairly certain we go 0-12. But I think we win this week and will still steal another game at some point this season.

Come on man! We have 11 games remaining and majority of people seem like they are jumping ship already. On another note, I like the player's attitude's on their twitter accounts and not listening

I think a lot of it comes down to execution mistakes. Too many missed passes. Too many missed defensive assignments. You could tell the staff put them in the position to be successful. The players just didn't execute. Rice, nUTSAck, Army, and BC are all very beatable. I predicted 4-8. I still think 3-4 wins are possible

I am on record for 4-8, and I had us beating SMU (other wins are Bethune-Cookman, at UTSA, and at UTEP).

Getting more than 2 road wins would be really tough... but maybe we have a decent chance to win at Rice based on their Week 1 performance.

Or... we could catch the MUTS or Southern Miss on a "down" week at home.

Anyway, twill be fun watching this group grow and improve through the season.

I have us winning this season against BC and UTSA--have since the schedule was released. I didn't jump ship--I just think its interesting to see what people think after losing a game to SMU, a game that fans who guessed we would be a 4+ win team had us winning.

When the schedule rolled out, there were 4 opponents we could reasonably compete with, due to our 68 scholarships and implementing a brand new offensive scheme with players who weren't recruited to play this type of offense--SMU, BC, Army, and UTSA. We competed with SMU, but they are just ahead of us right now in their rebuild. Now, we go to Butt Cookman--if we cannot beat them at home, then we know that we haven't started moving upward yet from the ashes of the worst loss in modern college football history, 66-7 to FCS Portland State.

I'm 2-10 on the season with the first win against Bethune Cookman and the second win against one of the UT twins.

If their back stays healthy UTEP is a bowl team so I wouldn't count on them for a win.   Worse case is they come into the last week desperately needing that win for bowl position.

4-8 at best. I thought we would beat SMU. Still think we beat BC, Rice, UTSA, and maybe Florida (just kidding!). But there's another win out there. My only hesitance with us beating Rice, UTSA, and UTEP is they are all away games and we all know how we play away from our home field (not well). Another issue with Rice is playing them the week after Florida. How banged up will our guys be? They play Baylor the week before so I'm not sure if that's any better. I guess we'll see...

It's ok, I am going to this game so I will make it feel like a home game to the team.

We're all counting you. 

Despite the loss to SMU, we need to remember a few things:

1) this team has fight (so far).

2) although we all dislike SMU, they might not be as bad a football team as we think. They've got some good skill players and Sutton is special.

3) they are a year ahead in rebuilding

4) they've had really solid recruiting classes the past two years. Ben Hicks, who threw the 88 yard TD pass was a four star QB per ESPN in 2015.

 

It's too early to view this game as an indication of a terrible year.

      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.

      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.
