On another thread someone asked if UNT could still technically win the Sun Belt. Someone else responded that WKU would have to win out. Thinking that probably wasn't the only possibility, I thought I'd try to put together a scenario where we pull it off. Feel free to call me out if I have a math error somewhere. I spent some time on this, but not a ton. I tried to do this without throwing in any rediculous upsets, but naturally there would have to be some upsets, mostly by UNT. Here is my scenario:

11/2:

MTSU beats ASU

11/6:

FIU beats ULM

WKU beats FAU

UNT beats Troy

11/13:

WKU beats ASU

FIU beats Troy

ULL beats FAU

UNT beats MTSU

11/20:

ULL beats FIU

MTSU beats WKU

UNT beats ULM

11/27:

FIU beats ASU

MTSU beats FAU

ULM beats ULL

Troy beats WKU

12/4:

FIU beats MTSU

Troy beats FAU

I know...a lot of long shots, right? If this scenario were to play out, there would be a three way tie between Troy, MTSU, and UNT, but UNT would have beaten Troy and MTSU in head-to-head competition. The thing that makes this scenario kind of interesting is that UNT would have to beat KSU to be bowl eligible.

But wait. This is the Sunbelt conference. Perhaps UNT would have beaten MTSU and Troy in head-to-head competition, but Troy and MTSU would have beaten each other while a butterfly flapped its wings in China and Howard Schnellenberger served omelets, thus handing the Sunbelt title and its bowl bid to none other than New Mexico St. See: Logic of the basketball standings.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025

      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 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.
