North Texas Media Luncheon

CMJ · February 7, 2007

The entire thing was put up on MeanGreen Sports. I unfortunately woke up REALLY early this morning, and had nothing better to do so I watched it all. The Mean Green Insider Show usually shows about 5 minutes worth of highlights, so it was very interesting seeing all of the coaches speak(especially of our "minor" sports, since they don't get as much press). Wish the reporters could've asked a few more(smarter) questions of all the Pre-Slinker coaches(they rolled thru everyone but Slinker and Jones in about 28 minutes...the headliners each were on about 15).

So if you have about an hour to kill I'd suggest watching it.

For those concerned about the tennis program, I thought it was interesting that Lama stated that the 1,2, and 3 players this year would probably be the 6,7 and 8 next year.

BINGO!!

In an ideal world this years 1-3 should be playing between 3-6. It is unfortunate that they only had 5 scholarhsip players and currently 2 are injured, hence 3 walk-ons playing.

Just give it time and Lama will make us happy if you follow tennis.

Have you noticed the factual errors on the tennis portion of meangreensports in the 2-8-07 article?? UNT did not win over sam Houston last year, as reported. UNT lost 3-4. Their foreigners were better than our foreigners. At the Houston Quad Day last fall UNT's #1 doubles team won flight "B" not flight "A" where all the good teams were playing. Not exactly the sweep that was reported.

By the way, Sue didn't resign. They had the new caoch hired as soon as he announced his resignation.

You're right about 1-3 playing 4-6. More to come about DP's exercise regimen and the link being discovered to current injuries.

Please get your facts straight Lama resigned on May5 (Ill Resign

They hired the new coach Michelle Dasso on June 13 (New Hire)

Also nowhere did the article say Flight A (Aziza and Sammie played A), it was a good victory for Megan and Idalina beating 2 UH teams.

Wrong - negotiations took a while and the hire was complete before the announcement cited. He resigned just like DP resigned. Don't buy the hype - Look at the tournament results. You don't sweep the tournament by playing in Flight B where the play is not as strong as Flight A. It was a victory, but the author misrepresented the accomplichment.
