They keep running the UNT commercial with the time progression of the young lady getting her UNT acceptance letter, going to UNT, having college experiences, graduating and then… getting a crummy office job in a cubicle?

Really? That’s the best we can do? It’s a freaking UNT commercial!!! It is supposed to inspire parents and kids to the possibilities and opportunities that a UNT degree can open. 

Couldn’t we have at least given her a corner office with a nice window view of a big city? 

Nope, our message is: Come to UNT, where you can graduate and get the type of soul sucking clerical job that is available to anyone with a high school diploma. 

Think bigger North Texas!!!

And while I am at it, I have a high school senior and we are taking college tours. 

The LSU tour was: Here are all the resources we are going to provide your kid to succeed in college and here are all the connections we have to get your kid a great job once they graduate. 

The North Texas tour was: Here is the Starbucks. Here is the Chick-Fil-A. Here is the second Starbucks…

Nothing about how my kid can succeed at North Texas or why a degree from North Texas is valuable. And they didn’t even show us the Rec Center or Music Department…

Whoever is in charge of the marketing of North Texas needs to hop on I-35 with Eric Morris and get the hell out of Denton.

Houston, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, Nashville, and Charlotte all are very thankful for all the LSU grads the State of Louisiana produces for its out of state neighbors.

Morons. Our marketing department is run by children, at best, or morons at worse. Who are we marketing to? Kids, who's main focus seems to be climate change and "equity?" Or big time, potential doners who want to see a return on their investment in the fields of science, business, biomedical or aerospace engineering? We are a Tier One research university, yet it only gets mentioned in passing. Why are we not promoting the UNT system? Our medical school in Ft. Worth, our law school in Dallas, not to mention our flagship with over 40,000 students with so many undergraduate degrees? We miss the mark on so many levels. It's no wonder we get no attention of our potential greatness. Too little emphasis on the truly important things a university should bring to the State of Texas and nationally. We only seem to focus on "best buy," "most diverse" and "best college food" which is all fine, but with our overall small endowment and lack of large doners, it appears to me, we're missing the mark. Yes, we can and should do better.

      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.
