Saw this post from a ULM fan:

"Complete melt down in first quarter. We had two pick sixs and a fumbled kickoff that result into 21 points. Baylor is very good and sure didn't need our help. We have serious redzone scoring problems too and it's been this way all season."

I'm not much of a fan of comparing scores or what lop-sided scores can do to a team (sometimes) and on that subject I will go back to our own football history.

In 1975 (hear we go again) but get this.

That season we got shellacked early in our schedule by Oklahoma State something to the tune of 61 to 7...

.....then we beat the UH Coogs the year before they entered the SWC (going to the Cotton Bowl in their Year 1) 28 to 0 at Texas Stadium.

......finally.......... Coach Fry and his rag-tag Texans (a media description of his team) made a little

trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, and with his 3'rd string QB they'd win the game and all come home to a hero's welcome at Love Field with the Dallas Times Herald giving our team and our fans a nice Sunday AM front page headline and color photo. It was one for the books that got much state-wide, regional and even national attention. (Tennessee finished 6 & 5 the year we beat them so they were not chopped liver; and by today's standards both Tennessee and North Texas would have been bowl teams).

Coach Mac is on schedule to do the same with this Mean Green football program, too.

In Year 1 right after his hiring many of us said....Year 3 for Coach Mac to start making hay with this program....I think we'd all stand by that today.

GMG!

ULM is at home in this game. Us UNT fans know how important that can be.

They crapped themselves at Baylor. Complete meltdown.

Take a look at their game at OU. A little more respectable.

Just wait until Baylor plays OU. Baylor should be the favorite to win the Big 12, and I think they would give A&M a run for their money.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Regardless of what happens tomorrow.....we need to win 2 of 3 in Charlotte....right? As to backup catcher Moffitt......in our last game at Memphis....she tripped over first base....and fell on her wrist. I'm guessing it's a sprained wrist. As to backup catcher....I don't think we have one. But they used Olguin to warm up people in the bullpen. And remember on Kalei....she had to catch 16 innings last night.....and today's game was early. So might just be gassed. Go Mean Green!!!

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      I missed the first inning but good to see Childers back in and getting some momentum. She retired the first eight batters she faced, striking out five or six but then unfortunately walked the bases loaded with two outs. After a wild pitch scored one, #29 for the Shockers hit her 18th homer of the year to put WSU up 4-0 on only 1 hit. The same freshman pitcher for the Shockers that was perfect through 4.2 last night started today and had a no-hitter through 4.2 again. Unfortunately this time she did not break. Wagoner had the last four innings and pitched well until WSU got some insurance runs off of her in the 7th. I hope Childers can get back in a rhythm. Gonna be tough to go to Charlotte with 1st place still on the line with only two reliable pitchers. Another thing I noticed this weekend was that Kalei seems to be a little slow going after those wild pitches. Obviously the first run of the day scored on that. We didn't even get a throwback to contest. I wonder if she's hurt. Backup catcher Moffitt was in a sling this weekend, I wonder what happened to her. I don't know if we have a third catcher on staff. Charlotte and FAU both won today, so they're 17-6 and we're 17-7. Would be nice if USF and UAB did us a favor and won tomorrow so we'd be tied for first heading into the final weekend. Seems UAB wins when we need them to lose, and vice versa. I just want a top two seed so we only have to win two games to take the conference title. I'm really tempted to go ahead and request Friday the 10th off so I can head up to Wichita.

      Any free agent signings?

      Gabriel Murphy to Vikings & Grayson Murphy to Dolphins. Noah Rauschenberg got an invite to Chiefs rookie camp.

      Any free agent signings?

      UNT has got to get guys drafted. 2 in the last 20 years despite having 5 different head coaching regimes during that time period isn't good for a D1 Texas school.
