I got the chance to watch some of North Texas' game vs. Idaho online tonight. If you thought they were going to be a pushover, think again. They're currently ahead 40-6...yes, 40-6...with 3 minutes left. And they have looked dominant. They have some serious athletes on both sides of the ball.

I know, I know...one game at a time! But, they have me a bit worried now.

Oh yeah? Well how's bout' this: Ohio U has us all worried down here in the Mean Green Nation.

Ohio U's Coach Solich and our Coach McCarney are old Big 10 friends from back in the day and I think even coached together at some point.

Ohio U will be a great yet difficult test for the Mean Green and especially being a road game.

Yes, we have more good athletes on this Fall's version of the Mean Green, but Ohio U has the same thing working for them, too.

GMG!

Until now, I was looking at the Ohio game as a "hope we win but don't hold your breath" game. But compared to our "easier" games last year, today's performance makes me think it will be a lot closer than I originally thought, and if we see some solid play from everyone, we could certainly squeak out a win on the road next week. I still expect it to be one of the tougher games this year (and thank heavens we don't play an angry Georgia team next week), but again, apples to apples, I don't think anyone expected this level of dominance even against what was billed as our weakest opponent, so I'm much more optimistic about the possibility of being very competitive with Ohio and BallS taters.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      Just because Nike says it to be so doesn't make it so. Just because UK and John Calipari got in a dick swinging contest to nab Johnell Davis doesn't make Johnell Davis worth 1M. Value is based upon returns, not simply what someone is willing to pay for something. This isn't the service or retail industry. Johnell Davis will not increase ticket sales or viewership. In collegiate sports, very few players have that impact due to the structure of the collegiate game.

      Women's Golf: Bermuda Run Regional

      https://meangreensports.com/news/2024/5/7/blistering-round-puts-womens-golf-in-hunt-for-nationals BERMUDA RUN, N.C. - A strong finish to Tuesday's second round at the NCAA Regional at Bermuda Run Country Club put the UNT women's golf squarely in the hunt for a top-five finish on Wednesday, which would earn a spot in the NCAA Championship later this month. The Mean Green fired a 7-under 281 to tie for the second-best round of the day and enter Wednesday's final round in sixth place at 2-under par, just two shots back of fifth-place Tennessee and three shots back of fourth-place Mississippi State. The top five teams after Wednesday's final round will advance to the NCAA Championship on May 17-22, in Carlsbad, California.

      UNT Basketball: 2023 Pac-12 All Freshman Grant Newell Signs

      DENTON – The UNT men's basketball team has signed former Pac-12 All-Freshman forward Grant Newell. The transfer joins the Mean Green after playing two seasons at California where he started 39 games for the Golden Bears, scored in double figures 14 times and was named to the conference's all-freshman team honorable mention in 2023 after receiving three votes from league head coaches. Newell was one of just seven Pac-12 freshmen to earn at least three votes. He will have two years of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-9 Chicago native played in a total of 63 games over the two years for Cal and averaged 6.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per contest over those two seasons. The big man showed his range as he knocked down 39 3-pointers too. Newell has recorded three double-doubles in his career, all against Pac-12 opponents, including a 21-point and 10-rebound performance at Washington as a freshman. He was 10-of-18 from the floor in the game. Newell had another double-double his freshman season against Colorado when he pulled down a career-high 12 rebounds to go along with 13 points. Newell became the first Cal freshman since Jaylen Brown in 2016 to record multiple double-doubles in a season. He also had a double-double last year with an 11-point and 10-rebound performance against rival Stanford. Newell graduated from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, in 2022. Prior to that he played at Whitney Young High School in Chicago where he was an All-City Special Mention in 2021. Newell was a three-star prospect by ESPN and held offers to DePaul, South Florida, Nevada, St. Bonaventure, East Carolina, Kent State and Youngstown State in addition to Cal coming out of IMG. This summer he chose North Texas over UAB, Charlotte, Wichita State, Rice, East Carolina, Tulsa, Arizona State, Saint Mary’s, Stanford and New Mexico among others. Newell joins a North Texas signing class that includes incoming freshman Tyran Mason (Plano HS) and transfers Jasper Floyd (Fairfield), Latrell Jossell (SFA), Johnathan Massie (Longwood), Brock Vice (Creighton) and Atin Wright (Drake). For more information on UNT men's basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
