The great Casey Fitzgerald needs 20 receptions to set a new single season record for receptions. The current record of 91...was set by Marvin Walker in 1982.

I'm not artistic..so this is out of my realm. But, it'd sure be neat to have some kind of banner at our games.....where his reception numbers could be kept and changed....as he approaches and hopefully breaks the record.

Good luck, Casey!

Great idea, SUMG....maybe the great drex could create a banner or something. He's the best I know at that sort of thing. By the way, great to see Casey Fitz at the Coach Dodge Show last night in support of his coach! He's showing some good leadership...and I know it was a tough thing to do, but it was great he was there and I told him so.

We should definitely get behind the effort to get him the record. Plenty of time and throws in the season left for him to get to 92 or more. Let's GO CASEY! GO MEAN GREEN...beat Navy.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...I just hope we can hold on to the ball against Navy long enough to get plenty of opportunities for Casey. These Navy boys do like to eat up the clock...one of our goals for the game should be to make Navy punt at least 3 times! :lol:

GO MEAN GREEN...SINK NAVY!

John, it was nice to hear that you won the trivia for the second week in a row (may have been more, but I have actually been able to listen to the last two shows).

When I heard the question asked, I immediately said Marvin Walker...but did not remember that the year was the year I graduated!

Great idea for the sign.

Scott

I don't know how the move inside will affect Fitzgerald's run at the record but I'm all for his knowing that the fans are behind him.

I watched Marvin Walker play many times at Garland High School and at North Texas and in one sense I hate to see his record go but on the other hand this team needs to make a statement with its' passing offense. What better way than to have a receiver break a 25 year old record in TD's first season?

Speaking of time of possession, I know that is an area of concern/discussion heading into Saturday's game. However, I heard an interesting stat last night at the radio show from a member of the football staff.

Notre Dame's TOP was 31 minutes and they ran over 90 offensive plays.

Navy's TOP was 29 minutes.

Not as bad as I thought it'd be. We are going to have our opportunities Saturday.

Did anyone else catch the significance of DREX's comments...and, no, I do not mean about Casey Fitzgerald.... :unsure:

It's the comment about a fiance!!!! :wub: So we know now that "hell does freeze over" and that "pig's do fly". I have met DREX's bride to be, and all I can say is that DREX is "marrying UP"...way up! :clapping:

You're correct! Pig's must have grown wins and taken flying lessons. Congratulations drex, on the impending nuptials.

      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.
