End of season overall performance.

2022 offense was 17th

2022 defense was 113th

2023 offense was 9th

2023 defense was 120th

The 2 9 win seasons.

2018 offense was 24th

2018 defense was 46th

2017 offense was 28th

2017 defense was 97th

Our success/failure has never been about the offense. It’s always been about the defense. There needs to be a very short leash for our DC. 
Or else we will waste another “Offensive Guru” head coach.

I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing Reff back. He wasn’t as bad as 2019 made him look.

1) What did you see in Reff that inspires the statement above?
2) What did you see/not see in Morris that inspired the statement below?

I am not impressed with this staff thus far and they have shown me nothing that says they can take this team higher than the guy we fired.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on #2.  No doubt in my mind that this year’s team beats last year’s team.  

I disagree. One thing we know about this year’s team is that anyone could run on us. Last year’s 4-headed monster with Bloesch and Cobbs running things would’ve had 2 maybe 3 100 rushers against this year’s team.

Defense needs an overhaul, players and coaches.  Period.

The only person at risk of wasting our HC is our offensive coordinator masquerading as a HC.  He needs to learn the HC ropes quickly because the he showed up to begin the season completely overwhelmed and incapable of preparing a team to start the season.  It looked like he might have been turning the corner toward the end of the year, but now seems completely overwhelmed trying to keep his roster together.

This offseason certainly won't bring stability with the amount of roster repair that has to take place.  Hopefully he shows up next season better prepared than this season.  I have my doubts.

I think the nature of last years team makes for a difficult comparison.

last years team would’ve won one game between the UTSA/Memphis/Tulane stretch, comfortably, and then get inevitably humiliated by 30+ points in the other two.  Probably the ones that were played in front of the larger audiences.

What has he said or done to make you think this? I haven’t seen anything to make me think that.

His inability to prevent a mass exodus of productive players with remaining eligibility makes me think this. 

I think they call the image below 'foreshadowing'.  😆

      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.
