Pardon me if anyone has brought this up during or after MTSU week, but Middle was able to make a very good hire for offensive coordinator after Tony Franklin was fired by Auburn 6 weeks into last years season. I had thought before he got hired by MTSU that maybe UNT could send our OC to him for consulting or at least to one of his seminars (yes, they're for high schoolers, but...). Anyway, here's the best story I've found on it. Some think we need a new OC; if it comes down to it, I hope we're lucky enough to get one like this guy:

You know who'd probably make an excellent Offensive Coordinator for a Division 1 school?

Chris Thomsen.

Similar mix of running and passing... College experience in a lower division, so he knows how to deal with older players... Texas roots and experience, with built in recruiting connections in the state...

Just saying.

I'll admit I wasn't able to go to the game but I saw the box score and NT had more total yards, more first downs, and had the ball longer than MTSU. Does that mean our OC is any good at all, or their DC sux to the bone, combination of both? Opinions?

We were playing from behind which can lead to gaudy numbers, we seemed to play like a good team in the second half from what I can tell. They played a better hurry up game than us in the first half ...

It was just a difficult day all in all. We have been killing ourselves in both the Ohio game and this one with turnovers, preventable mistakes... eliminate even half of those and we are 3-1.

Preventable mistakes

I want to know who called the plays in the 2nd half for our offense. Because it wasn't the same as the 1st. Near the end of the 1st half on 3rd and then 4th down we ran the same exact play. It's the one where all 4 receivers run 5 yards and then turn around. We did it on back-to-back plays. Both incomplete. I drew up better plays on my hand for my brother to run out in front of our house when I was 10 years old.

      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.
