this topic may or may not be appropriate for football, but alumni giving does effect athletic budgets. f.y.i.,north texas average alumni giving rate is 5%, same as u.t.e.p. and u.t.s.a. houston is 13%, as is la.tech.,u.a.b.,w.k.,and so.miss. in between is a.s.u.@11%,troy@9%,u.l.l.@7%, and memphis only @6%, which susprised me. at any rate, it just reinforces the fact that we have a long way to go .

It feels like a txt message to me.

Is it really that big of a deal? This forum is, for the most part, pretty informal. He still got his message across and I really don't see a point to call him out on it. I thought it was an informative post regardless of capitalization.

Maybe the argument stands up on it's its own for you but to me the argument looses loses credibility when someone doesn't capitalize proper nouns, which is what unt UNT is.

Calling someone out on grammar and ending a sentence with a preposition? Bad form?

If that's the worst thing that I do, then I'll take my lumps. However, this board is fraught with loads of bad spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It really makes me cringe and wonder how some people managed to get their degrees.

sorry, i'm an old man who regareds e-mails and text messages in the same vein. if credibility in your mind is based upon grammer, then put me down with president bush jr. i still think the invasion if iraq was a typo, that he meant to invade iran. thanks, WARD WHITE

Calling somebody out on calling somebody out but being wrong about said calling out of the calling out- bad form?

Is is not a preposotion. Is is a verb. You can end a sentence in a verb last time I checked. (Interestingly enough, I ended that sentence in a past tense verb)

The below numbers indicates how our endowment coffers compare to all the present CUSA members, ie, the dollar amounts in bold represents endowment numbers for each CUSA school.

North Texas from one source (wikopedia) says we are setting right at $100,000,000.oo.

For North Texas to be elgible for Tier 1 status I believe we have to have at least a $400 million endowment. Well, unless T. Boone takes a likin' to us we will have a nice wait on that one.

      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.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      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.
