NT had a lot of delay of game penalties last year...not getting the play in timely.

Watching the South Carolina/Miss State game...already several delay of game penalties due to the early clock starting.

I predict we will have similar problems....we will see, hope I am wrong.

how long can it take to call a run play?

A well coached team that is paying attention should never have a delay of game penalty. But, the coaches must choose a play to send in, the QB must check that the correct players are on the field to run that play. I have heard from a great many players who played in both college and high school that the play signaled in could not be run with the players on the field. Matt Simon did this on a regular basis! The QB had to change the play on the fly to match the players on the field, even if it would not work against the defense on the field!!!

I'm not sure but I don't believe DD will allow a QB to change a play that is called...seem to remember even Scott Hall had limited ability to do so...he might have had one option only....can anyone add to this ?

The clock now starts when the ref whistles"ready to play." We had trouble getting the play off under the old rule.

However, all teams will probably have some problems getting used to this new rule.

I'll be happy with no unsportsmanlike conduct or dead ball fouls.

I was just kidding about the run play, but I was there during the Simon years, I know we had about 20 personnel packages, but I don't remember us calling plays with the wrong personell "on a regular basis". I don't know where you came up with that? I am not usually a Matt Simon apologist, but the man does have a National Championship ring and a Super Bowl ring. Maybe those weren't "well coached team" either.

      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.

      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.
