I talked to a friend of mine who is an SMU letterman today. He said he played in the letterman golf tournament that preceeded the scrimmage and met with all the coaches. He likes Jones, but still has a lot of concerns about how successful he will be in recruiting. He said he thinks "Dodge will make a better impression in the living room of a recruit". Another friend, also an SMU letterman has told me he is excited about Jones but would have preferred to have hired Dodge. I have always believed that TD was a steal for what he is paid and I am glad we hired him before any other local opening became available.

Well, in light of all of the grotesque coaches salaries out there, I suppose that TD is a steal. From what I can remember about his HS salary, he's still making about twice as much money as our coach. When he finally proves himself (in the eyes of the big time programs) as a D-1 coach, then we will be hard pressed to keep him around. Unless of course, the (hoped for) success that he has here, will cause some of our monied alums to finally come forward to contribute to the program in a big time manner.

June Jones is over hyped.. I wish people would stop talking about him on here, he is not even in Todd Dodge's league.. talk about him when he wins something legit..

Not in Dodge's league? Are you serious? I love Dodge but that comment is absurd. Didn't he just get his team to a BCS game?

The entire time I read your thread I thought you were talking about Johnny Jones, not June Jones, I actually forgot about him.

That shows you how intersted I am in SMU athletics.... Ponies Down???? B)

Exactly, the only JJ in my lexicon is Johnny Jones. June = Summer Season Jones

NT could probably only beat 2 teams in the WAC - NMState and Idaho, if that. Not to mention having a Heisman candidate. Though I love TD I understand Eppy's post.

Once again, cram hole. Oh wait. Last year, yes you might be right...

This year? Hmmmm. Well we shall see. But I just vomited in the back of my mouth and it tasted like green kool-aid...

PS. Yes I know one could interpret my comments to Dumparoo as personal attacks...but seriously does anyone give a shit poop?

Please advise if I have crossed any lines here. XXOO

97and03, your comments towards daddy dumps do come accross as personal attacks. Very rarely do you provide us with anything worth reading, so I don't see how you can attack anyone else on this board.

By the way, I have an 8 year old son who sees his dad looking at this site all the time and will occasionally do the same (when he's not on legos new site). So, please refrain from the language.

      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.
