As long as you don't bash basketball until you come see them play, I won't have to get into it with anyone at all this season. Unless someone else comes along that wants to talk crap about something they haven't seen and don't have any attention of supporting.

But your basketball support couldn't carry my basketball support strap in a suitcase with both hands so why does it matter whether or not if I now see it in person or not? Don't answer that, I don't care.

7 Days, that's all we ask. You can do it. You....can.....do.....it.

You better at least try because if tonight is any indication of how the season is headed for then your going to end up argueing here with yourself.

How many games did you make the past season? And the few seasons before that? I know you are a great supporter of football and we have all heard the story numerous times about you traveling to see the one NCAA appearance(closing in on 20 years ago), but what about lately?

ebone,

When Rick was in school and in Denton, he, I and a number of alums made multiple road trips and were at EVERY men's and women's game. Now that Rick lives in Parker County and has a full-time job and HOT wife and two great kids, it is not as easy for him to make games.

I live in Southern Dallas County and am confined to a wheelchair, but make any NT athletic event that I can.

Both Rick and I listen to games, football, men's basketball and women's basketball when we can't make them in person.

ebone, I'm not attempting to provoke you into a war of words just let you know that it is easier to attend athletic events when they are free with your student ID card and within 10 or 20 minutes of your house.

I will be at the SWT (Texas State) game next Saturday. I cannot make the Tulsa game because I will be visiting my parents in San Antonio. I am coming back so I can attend the TSU-SM game.

What I can't understand is how yall can get up on your high horse and talk about how much you supported the program back in the day when you were in school and how I can't dream of ever being as supportive, but then talk down to me for just supporting the program while I am in school. Especially when some where lucky enough to be fans when the team was having great success and even went to the NCAA tourny, while I have seen mediocre season after mediocre season. Can't quite figure that out.

We don't get on our high horse and then talk down to you for supporting the team now. What get's me going is how you are rude and inconsiderate to those that can't attend all the games now, but still listen to those they can't attend and attend when they are able.

For the first sentence... Oh really? This is just the most recent example.

"But your basketball support couldn't carry my basketball support strap in a suitcase with both hands so why does it matter whether or not if I now see it in person or not? Don't answer that, I don't care."

As for the second sentence, you kinda lost me, but I'll respond to the part that I understand. I'm only rude to those that don't show up or give a crap, yet still bash the team. If someone comes to the game and doesn't like what they see, that is fine. If someone just comes over to take cheap shots at the basketball program after losses, I do care and I don't appreciate that.

I'm the best basketball supporter!!!!

I've been to EVERY home game since i've been enrolled here

Around here, you have to have been a student 15+ years ago, been fortunate enough to have had no obligations other than school so you could travel to see the team play in the NCAA tourney(such a tough thing to do, must have been such a drag), and not really supported basketball in the past few years to be considered a great basketball supporter. If you are a current student or recent graduate, you basically suck. Or so it seems to some.

Were there a few things that happened to us down low that werent called? no doubt but the freethrow difference if because they were attacking the basket we weren't...I havent been to a practice and im not involved in the program so I dont know what coach jones is doing on offense so im not really in a position to say why our guards pull up most of the time instead of taking it to the rim and scoring, driving and dishing, (saw a little of this in the 2nd half) and pulling up sometimes.

Our big men don't seem to play "big," Howerton especially. We were talking about this in the student section at the UTA game. We have numorous 6' 8" or higher big men who could drive to the basket or get a foul trying to do so on nearly evey feed. I hope Keith Wooden changes all that. He has been agrressive in the middle, and we are starting to go to him more frequently, but he seems to often miss "easy" shots. I suspect he is shaking off some rust and getting use to the speed of the game again after sitting out for a year. At least I hope that is the case. Williams seems to miss some "easy" under the basket shots too, though he has really stepped up the past 2 games. Feeding the ball to the big men in middle would open our perimenter shooting for our Watson, Sturns, Bell, etc.

      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.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      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.
