Perhaps this sounds like a broken record (for those who remember phonographs), but the local media coverage is atrocious. We’ve won 21 games, and I’ve heard not one mention of that on Channel 8. I feel lucky when they announce our score. The coverage in Denton is okay, but those of us who live in southern Tarrant or Dallas counties have to search the paper for any news of UNT sports. No wonder attendance is less than stellar. People don’t know we’re winning because they don’t hear it or read about it.

Caught some of the evening news a couple weeks ago and there was no mention of SMU basketball either. Not sure TCU was mentioned unless I missed it. It was Texas vs Kansas state, Baylor, and I believe texas tech. Only 3 college basketball games were mentioned, none of which were mid majors. Was on NBC DFW.

This is a really busy time of year for local TV sports media.  After high school recruit signing Feb 1 they basically only focus on pro sports, unless something major by a college or Big12 school.   This past week it was NFL Super Bowl and coach changes, Cowboys changes, Mavs addition of Irving, Hockey in season, Rangers getting ready for spring training, and a PAC visit to Smut.   We are low-hanging fruit to them.

Oh I know it's busy. I was just noting we arent the only college program being left out of the news cycle. We like to flaunt the major market proximity but really, unless you're a P5/highmajor program, it doesn't matter. Even TCU struggles at times. Too many D1 programs in the area and for every local D1 program in *insert sport*, we have a pro team in the same sport. The struggles of being in a major market.

      This sounds like a marriage counseling session that went off the rails. Nobody needs to be reminded when the season starts that they declared their intention to quit supporting the school during the offseason. Everybody knows supporting UNT is like herpes. You think it's finally gone and it flares up again.

      financially? ha...oh goodness no. I spend my money on travel, music, drugs, golf, art, fine food & drink and my various charitable pursuits. like an interesting person. as a fan, sure. and I like the rest of you will be right back here supporting in the exact same way you have for 10, 20, 50 years. you'll be saying how ________ is the best PG or PF we've had here in decades, you'll rationalize away your "hate" for the portal with the fact that ________ is on his third school (at least until he transfers out at the end of next year) and you'll go on supporting the laundry because its what you do. the piety is boring so just stop. you never cared about the kids, just how they made you feel about your school...because that's somehow super important in your social circles

      If Mean Green fans grousing could kill your vibe, how did it survive on GMG for 21 years?

      I am not disregarding it, I'm suggesting we suck at recruiting, with or without NIL. NIL and the transfer rules are just making the entire process around us, in and outside Denton, move faster. I don't really care if this is statistically the worse offseason ever. I still handle emotionally it the same as any other bad offseason, which have been plenty around here. I'll still be around, watching and rooting for the Mean Green next year.
