I jsut found out a good friend of mine ran one of these last year and loved it. Anyone else on the board have experience with it? I am seriously interested in attempting this but don't want to go into it alone and honestly don't think I can get a team of 5 together. Just curious if anyone has been down this road and could tell me what to expect... or even someone who might want to be running buddies....

Haven't run it, but have watched more than a couple. If you drive down 183 right past Ridgmar Mall over here in "the West'o'plex", as PMG puts it, you'll pass by the old Carswell air strip. The Mud Run laps the airfield, and is basically a dirt access road that they totally hose down, and parts of it are right next to 183.

They really muck it up with a lot of water, and it is usually relatively cool weather, so you will get wet and probably cold. The Run also utilizes the obstacles set up for training such as pole barriers, roadblocks, and I've even seen rope obstacles at least once. It's pretty cool, but looks like it will wear you out if you let it. I believe you can also run around the obstacles if you want on the 'dry run'.

Here's some more info--it's for a good cause--and note that MILLER BEER is providing refreshments of some sort... :thumbsup:

You realize that this is physical activity, right?

Maybe in Mobile they'll have an under 16 timeout 3 point shooting contest like the old days. We'll see how "back" that jumper is.

Some of the guys from my airsoft team ran in this last year, our team leader, a jarhead-to-the-core always pushes to go to this. If you saw some folks in woodland digital pants and black shirts, those were probably them. I hear it's a pile of fun, no matter how cold it is. I keep missing these because its always a weekend I'm pulled out of town by family or something like that. You should go, just be ready to be covered, in totality, from head to toe in mud, and have it in places you didn't remember you had.

Expect to be passed by guys in really good shape. This last year, there were law enforcement types, active military and even PMCs there. From what I gathered, the military and PMC guys did the best by far.

      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.
