Several friends have shared the opinion that it was somewhat disrespectful for Mac to be wearing red and black and posting Texas Tech rah rah videos so quickly after winning the NIT.  I have mixed emotions but feel like he could have waited through the weekend or maybe given us another week out of respect for the NIT and UNT friends and fans.

Really?  Tech fans are excited to see and meet Grant just like we were with Coach Morris.  We hired Coach Morris, the football OC from Washington State, during their Bowl prep and he quit and came to Denton "before" their Bowl game.  He arrived on a private jet wearing Mean Green colors.   It happens.

Already have a thread on this. Tech was about as accommodating as any university I have seen in a situation of this nature. Once the game was over, etc. he was a Tech employee. I applaud Mac, UNT and Tech for his this was managed. He is now a Tech employee and has a staff and roster to build. They weren’t going to wait another day or week. It is what it is. 
On the flip side, our program needs to become Boss Hodge’s just as quickly. Sorry, but the expectations of you and your friends is not realistic.

He came to North Texas and accomplished more for us than we ever could have expected. He has been incredible and he has exceeded his/our goals.

Now I fully expect him to treat the Texas Tech fans with every bit of enthusiasm that he has shown us all these years. He needs to make that splash hire as impactful as possible, and that means announcing it and promoting his new program as much as possible right now.

He's entitled to advance his career (that's how we got him) , and he didn't walk out like so many other coaches have done before. He waited until the last basket was made and the nets were cut down.

Best of luck to Coach McCasland at Texas Tech.

Maybe ESPN will start calling you by the correct name now...

But it's still better than their Tony Denton.

      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.

      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.
