Ahhh, the local “yuck monkeys” are back at it. Your’s and Quoner’s post are useful for something. Good to know.

Much how you can learn a lot about the life and final days of an animal by carefully separating and rummaging through it's scat, I have gleaned much from the 25,000 posts you lovingly drop here daily.

11-0 run to end the game for UTah state. Wow. 

Really misleading as we started to foul late and they didn't miss one FT.  As the announcers said, this weekend will be good for us down the road.  They were really impressed with our defense and effort.  We just have to find some flow to our offense.  I don't think Hamlet is the answer at the point.  He dribbles into trouble way to much and then gets stuck having to pass.  A true PG would really help this team.  Geu was impressive.  Z Simmons needs to play with Geu's energy.  This team has the ability and potential to be really good.  They just have to find an offensive rhythm.

How is it good for recruits?  I hear/read this all the time, but do the kids really care if they get to wear black?  Has a recruit ever tweeted, "I am taking my talents to U of ??? because of their cool alternate uniforms?"  I am youngish and prefer green and white with black accents.

Just to change things up a bit. Not saying recruits come to schools because of their alternates. 

I like wearing green and white, but it's always nice to switch things up. Not like we are Kentucky or Duke with a lot of good history

NT just scared the heck out of the number 15 team in the nation, and a lot of the comments are about uniform color,.

Geu was the best player in the game, edging out Gibson.

Lot of complaints about Hamlet, but I thought it was his best game by far this year. 

The chemistry of this team is getting slowly better, this tough oc schedule should greatly benefit NT in conference play.  This doesn't look like the seventh best team in CUSA as many project.

We play in 'alternate' colors and it's poor branding to wear something other than the identity that we're trying to promote.

Uniforms are for one thing...to promote an identity. Changing constantly to unrecognizable uniforms is detrimental to that task.

Why don't you like black? 

Craig Helwig had at one time added blue and copper to our uniforms. I don't dislike those colors either, but they too, like black, or gray, do not belong on our uniforms.

That, and the fact that our gray uniforms are cursed.

I’m feeling good about the way we looked this weekend. I still don’t get why we like going back to playing hot potato on the perimeter but it does seem like we’re doing less of it. Also really liked seeing us respond when they started scoring after the slow start. So much to work on and probably some rotation tweaks, but maybe we can make this a fun season after all.

      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.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      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.
