If this team does not start hitting can't see things getting much better. Sorry to seem down on this team, but based on the preseason hype, this team is underachieving.

Also, sorry to beat a dead horse, but tired of them using Black as their primary color. We have one of the best nicknames in college athletics, and we screw up taking advantage of it, especially the softball team (reference wearing Black on Saint Patricks Day). I understand some have no problem with it, but IMO, it's BS. I Wish Jarred would "encourage" the Use of Green and White for all teams. I can understand the occasional use of other colors, but I am tired of the Black and Greys.

Based on how we have played against the better teams, it doesn't look good. To say the least, our team's hitting is poor. Not sure who the hitting coach is, but not getting it done. Were we overhyped or just not playing up to our potential? Fairly sure at this point we will have to win the conference tournament for any postseason hopes.

They are underachieving. Hitting has been a problem, but now pitching and fielding are becoming issues. 

I think some of the problems come from lack of consistency in our line-up.

We've worn black all three games this week and we have lost convincingly all three games this week.

Coincidence, maybe, but the constant use of other school's colors doesn't really reflect positively on North Texas.

I do love the team though and will continue to support them. I too just wish they'd wear our school colors more often.

Our Mean Green is a very good team but we also play against some very good competition. And even if we don't win every game wearing our green uniforms, at least we will have proudly represented our university.

In the meantime we've seen the same poison affect our football and basketball programs. We're not immediately cured if we stop drinking hemlock for a day, and the same goes for detoxing from our black uniforms.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      You can rebuild a college basketball rotation to contend at a high level in one year. That is just 8-9 players. And if you get lucky with 2-3 absolute monsters, you can make a run in any given season. Of course, then those 2-3 monsters will get poached by deeper pockets and you will have to start all over again. But still, it is possible. But we can’t rebuild a college football two-deep in one year. That’s almost 50 players that we need to compete at a high level. And as has been demonstrated, any time we get football players who have any kind of success in the NIL era, they are gone quicker than you can say “Chandler Rogers”. Another reason it is easier for us to compete in the NIL era in basketball is because that sport is dominated by guards. There are LOTS of talented guards available in college basketball and some of the very best can fall through the cracks and land with us for atleast a season. And while many people would say that college football is dominated by quarterbacks (and that position is VERY important)… what really separates the elite college football programs from everyone else are the defensive linemen. The supply of 18-24 year-old humans who weigh 300 pounds with the strength to take on multiple blockers while also having the speed to run down a quarterback is no where near the demand. And these defensive linemen usually take a while to develop. But anytime a defensive linemen shows a hint of promise, he gets funneled to the highest bidder and that won’t be us. Which means we will never be able to compete with the SEC or Big 10 in football.
