*sigh* Ain't it beautiful? smile.gif

The Athletics Center and Victory Hall are both absolutely beautiful. I can't imagine any recruit coming to North Texas and scoffing at the new facilities. Add that to the incredible Rec Center (which I know athletes don't use as often, but it's certainly a perk if you aren't an athlete), the new Chem building, and the soon-to-be $18 million Wellness Center and we have some of the nicest facilities in the area. I know many of you are disappointed that we don't have a new stadium, but honestly, with the new turf at Fouts and the improvements to the Ben E. Keith Deck and new paint job, I can live with Fouts for another 4 or 5 years.

We really do have much to get excited about this football and athletic program. Many of us remember the days that all we had was lip-service from the top and nothing on the drawing board except buckets of green paint to put a fresh coat on Fouts. unsure.gif

Hope our ESPN play-by-play man, one NT grad Dave Barnett (including his color man and area resident, Craig James) focus many times this Tuedsay night with video, still photos and many, many comments about all that is going on behind them across the interstate, ie, our new Mean Green Athletic Village at Eagle Point Campus. cool.gif

GMG!

Is that the parrot eagle on the field in the distance?

Speaking of which, when looking at the otherwise dreadful box score for the K-State game on espn.com, I noticed how well our new eagle held up compared to the wildcat logo. (Look, I'm trying to find any positive here.) On the other hand, the image file being used on the NT 'main page' on espn.com is not good. They need to use a different file so the logo will look 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.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
