I agree with this except give me a win against FIU at home. 7 wins. Anything less... turn it over.

I hear ya, it's just that there are three straight games at home that should be pretty close - LaLa, Arky State, and FIU. I thought expecting us to win all three was not likely, at least not when we have struggled to win 3 games in an entire season. We should win 2 out of those 3, and I gave FIU the edge over the other 2.

We will definitely need a strong first half of the season, because this may be the easiest first eight games of the season we have had since returning to 1-A. The last 4 games, we'll be very fortunate to get 2 out of 4.

I expect 7 wins, but don't know where they will come from. Too many seniors on this team to not expect a winning season. Also, I'm calling for a win over Troy b/c I'm sick of hearing that that is an "acceptable" loss. Bull Sh!t, I say. We've got them at home. If we play them as poorly as we have every other year since Dodge got here, then I'd pull the trigger on firing him---regardless of how the rest of the season goes. Nobody in the Belt should dominate us.

09/04 @ Clemson - L

09/11 vs Rice - W

09/18 @ Army - L/W?

09/25 @ FAU - L

10/02 vs UL - W

10/16 vs FIU -W

10/23 BYE WEEK

10/30 @ wKu -W

Expecting 6 wins

Praying to the good Lord above that I get to push the plunger and blow Fouts Field to H-E-double hockey sticks.

BTW: Bet the school could raise a few bucks for scholly's by auctioning of the honor of blowing up Fouts.

I was wondering the other day what will happen to Fouts. Will it be blown up? And if so what will be there in the future, a parking lot?

I am too lazy to look it up right now, but the master plan has a parking garage there and some other academic buildings. Until the new track stadium is built, Fouts will continue to stand, as I understand it.

      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.
