Great!  This gives me an excuse to go see Dickey Arena in person.  I hear its a palace.  George Strait did its Grand Opening.  In fact, I believe Strait closed the Astrodome with one of his annual live concerts he would have there.  They did a "live" GS album with that closing show. I have that CD & it’s studio quality. Only other group who could perform as good "live" would be the Eagles? 

 

GMG!

Neutral site matchups with Kansas, UMass, and Tulsa are all testaments to how far our program has come. Gone are the days of playing Maryland Eastern Shore, Maine, and Saint Peter’s in the Wolfpack Classic.

I know you're not new around here...  If we've learned anything as Mean Green fans: such a declaration is premature.
Let's enjoy it while we can, for however long it lasts!

Well, they are gone. Hopefully permanently, but even just temporarily it is much more pleasing to look at these type of schedules.

One who told me about this triple header this morning already said how nice it would be to have a pre-game gathering place for UNT fans.
Well, one could not do any worse than this place which is less than 1/8’th of a mile from the Dickey Arena. They call it the UNT HEALTH SCIENCE CENTER.  ••• Last time I recall us having a pre-game gathering there was In the 1980’s before a UNT-TCU football game which (btw) was won by...North Texas.
(Wouldn’t you say the UNTHSC campus has grown quite a bit since the 1980’s)?

My daughter lives near the UNTHSC campus, I had not driven by there in 20+ years.  What a beautiful campus and buildings.  It is a great facility that is an asset to our university.

As far as concerts go, as a NTSU student I saw Eric Clapton at Tarrant County Convention Center.  I will be seeing Slow Hand again in Cowtown as he kicks off his latest tour at...... Dickies Arena, can't wait.

GO MEAN GREEN!!!
WIN GAMES!!!

So easy to see the results of winning CUSA last year and taking down Purdue in the NCAA Tourney.  Need to keep this momentum going.

Not only Purdue, DG, but the “20” ranked Purdue Boilermakers.

When would be the last time anyone in CUSA beat a program ranked # 20 at the end of a season?

I think in the grand scheme of that win, it is more impressive to point out that Purdue has made at least a S16 appearance every year since 2017.  We are the first team to beat them in the first round since Little Rock did in 2016.

when it comes to the NCAA Basketball Tournament, I kinda forget (and don't care) about T25 rankings once the field of 65 is set.  I don't think I am the only one.

Guess I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention present CUSA members UTEP & Charlotte both made the Final 4 in the past. The Miners beat Adolph Rupp’s Kentucky Wildcats in the 60’s to  win the whole enchilada & Charlotte who was one win away from the championship game in 1977. Remember when the UNCC 49’ers used the name “Mean Green?”

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Nice walk off win in the 9th....4-3....on a homer by Molly Rainey. All three homers today by seniors....Molly, Kailey Gamble (tied it at 3 in the 7th)...and Kalei Christensen....with a solo blast for our first run. Skylar gets the win....in relief of Mackenzie Wagoner. Great win.....game two coming up soon.

      This is the point I think has never been critically consider because of the greed of EVERYONE ELSE besides the players. The old system was never sustainable because the schools had very little invested in the players actually get the best education available at their schools. If guaranteed 4 year scholarships (with an option after 2 years) were the standard or breakable by the student I don't think we have the madness of today. The other major part is the lack of standardization and revenue sharing for all school playing at a particular level. How do you expect the players or coaches to have any loyalty when the schools have no loyalty to protect the health overall college sports. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Somebody explain how the runner that was hit with the batted ball was called safe? These umpires are horrible.

      Good. Offer them a NIL deal and let them pay for their education. They shouldn't receive both.

      Wichita St with a wind aided HR in the top of the 5th to make it 2-1. Waggoner is pitching a heck of a game, but we need a few runs to pad the lead.
