No matter if it was Seth or if it's Eric or if it's whomever is next, it's going to take more than a heater for a few games to get people outside of die hard supporters fired up enough to start showing up to games. Ideally, we'd see three consecutive seasons where we win more than we lose and we look competitive in our losses. The last time we had three consecutive seasons with a winning record was 20 years ago, 2002, 2003, and 2004.

Long days and pleasant nights, 2023-24 Mean Green. It’s time for a very new group to contend in Denton, TX. Even relative to the current realities of college athletics, it’s been an eventful couple of years for North Texas. Just two winters ago, Grant McCasland was leading UNT on their second straight postseason run on the heels of a big, loud, successful campaign. Then, McCasland departed for the Big 12, as did superstar guard Tylor Perry. No matter; the Mean Green tabbed Ross Hodge, a promising young assistant to McCasland, to lead the returning core. In his first rodeo, Hodge lured some quality players from the transfer portal and kept North Texas right in the mix. Despite a fistful of injuries and six losses by five points or fewer in American Athletic Conference play, Hodge debuted with 19 wins and an NIT win at LSU before being knocked out of the tournament by its eventual champion, red-hot Seton Hall. Last Year: 19-15; 10-8, Seventh in the American Athletic Conference, lost in the second round of the NIT Head Coach: Ross Hodge (Second Year) Projected Starting Lineup PG Jasper Floyd – 6’3″, 190 Senior G Atin Wright – 6’1″, 190 5th-year Senior G Rondel Walker – 6’5″, 180 5th-year Senior F Grant Newell – 6’9″, 225 Junior C Moulaye Sissoko – 6’9″, 250 5th-year Senior Experienced Reserves G Latrell Jossell – 6’1″, 185 Senior G Matthew Stone – 6’4″, 200 Senior W Johnathan Massie – 6’6″, 205 Senior F Brenen Lorient – 6’9″, 210 Junior Freshmen G Tyran Mason – 6’6″, 195 F/C Baron Smith, Jr – 6’9″, 220 F/C Brock Vice – 6’10”, 230 (Redshirt) read more: https://collegehoopstop50.com/2024/10/03/69-north-texas-mean-green/

No one talks about the outreach to Dallas and FT. Worth. Are we spending any work getting interest to MAJOR CITIES just an hour down the road. That seems to be the problem just like we saw here in San Antonio, where they went to Austin without any games to discuss. The games were down the road in San Antonio. So, we've lost fans here because of lack of contact.

There was a time I would've said that about UCF here in Florida. Now they make games at the Bounce House look like a party and their fired-up crowds of 43,000+ skew younger than any other football school in the state. Fox brought their Big Noon Kickoff pregame to UCF this season and said it was their largest crowd ever. Just because Mean Green Nation has plenty of reasons for pessimism doesn't mean this can't happen to us. Students want to be a part of something special in their college years.

Morris has been outstanding in this regard!
