By the way, a few "facts" reported on ponyfans.

1)Todd Dodge had better athletes at Carroll and coming to NT will give him only a "slight" upgrade at running back. Man, that must really make 24-6 sting.

2)NT takes the players who are partial qualifiers and aren't very smart.

3)Todd Dodge will fail as a coach at NT...but will then get a coordinators job at a bigger school. unsure.gifblink.gif

Emmit, trying to reason with SMU is like arguing with your shadow. We beat them this year and instead of a 'good game you guys did good', everyone said 'man we're better than them. how did we lose?'

It is funny listening to some of their responses. This is the best one:

"UNT beat us last season, and that was poor on our part, not good on their part. I am not sure about them winning 3-4 head to head games with us over the last 6 years. Maybe 2"

That's funny. We had a terrible team last season and beat them on what they considered to be their best season in almost a decade. Yes SMU mustangs, you read that last line correctly. Yet, according to this dumb ass, our 2003 9-4 team that went to a bowl game probably would of lost to their 2003 0-12 team. Idiots.

By the way, the sun belt was 3-3 vs CUSA this year. So what's the excuse now?

Well, that can't be true. We had more Goldwater Scholars than ANY school in Texas.

SMUt is just a millionaire boy's club, getting the same education as most college students. I applied, and was accepted, but they offered no scholarships to transfer students with less than 50 hours. UNT offered me the full ride.

I got to give you credit Emmitt for going on the Pony page and stating your opinion. Like we say in South Texas when you stir a hornet's nest, you got some "juevos" for that posting.

SMU doesnt need a coach coming out of the HS ranks. Sure you can point to the coach at RICE but you need to look at everything he did. Brought in the MAJOR, changed the WHOLE ENTIRE O, and had a weapon named Dillard. [bAny coach could have changed that RICE team to fit the athleticism of Jarrett Dillard.

It's scary to think these folks can be this clueless. And it's even funnier that the entire thread starts because of their concerns for lil' ol NTSU? "Any coach" could turn Rice around in one single season and take them to their first bowl game since the ice age? C-L-U-E-L-E-S-S!!!!! And I guess regardless of what you did at the college ranks, as long as you had any success while coaching in high school your always going to be considered as "coming out of HS".

For those who care to be informed about Rice's Todd Graham, he first coached ECU Ada OK to the NAIA national championship back in '93. Then, after having a successful stint at Allen HS in the 90's as A.D. and head coach, he was an integral part of turning a 3-8 West Virginia team to a 9-3 record as co-defensive coordinator by his second season there. He then left WV to take the d coordinator spot at Tulsa in '03. In his very first year there he helped turn Tulsa from 1-11 to 8-4 in which their total defense jumped 49 spots overall.

Not bad for a guy "coming out of HS".

SMU is being held hostage by a coach that's too "NICE" to fire. We beat em fair and square this year and judging from their board it needs to happen again. We need to bring a good size crowd.

SMU will take anyone with $$$. It's no secret. For that reason SMU will never be a RICE, TCUWHO, TULANE, BAYLOR, ETC. That's no jab at anyone out there who was accepted but didn't go, but it is a jab at those of you who went.

SMU gets a 4 page pull out inthe DMN if their polo team ranks fifth in CUSA, but if we win a bowl game, we get a 3" x 3" on the fourth page.

I vented and will move on now.

I don't agree with going to another team's board to talk a little trash. Settle it on the field, court, pitch, classroom, etc., then let the results speak for themselves. I enjoyed the win against SMU, but it's over. Let's move on.

I agree. I will gladly piss on any of SMU's fields, courts, pitches, classrooms, etc., and the results will speak for themselves.

      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.
