My entire family (including the dog) at the St. Paddy festival in Richmond, VA.

Couldn't have happened to a better bunch. On a side note, rumor has it RV is mulling over an Benford contract extension because he "didn't make the NCAA tournament, just like hall of fame coach Larry Brown".

Haha, just saw that.

I don't see how you can seperate Benford from the equation. The problems in the front court are entirely his doing.

How about those jacks? After having to replace two of Danny Kaspar's top scorers from last year they went 18-0 in conference, routed our ass in Denton and are now heading into the tourney 31-2. Are they a fun team to watch or what? Great ball movement against the zone and isolating one side the key earning the constant backdoor passing layup, suffocating, lockdown transition defense. I love that style of basketball. I hope they get a good seed in the dance, maybe a 12 or even an eleven? Rick

LMFAO. Excellent. Both sitting at home. After all that buzz they're not dancing either. Can't wait to kick SMU's teeth in come September.

I thought UW Green Bay was the bigger snub

I feel no sorrow for them.

Saying Alzee is not a great shooter may be true, but he did have the 3rd highest FG% on the whole team (and Voss was only 0.6 percent better). Not sure if you can really count Flannigan as our best shooter, despite his percentage (he didn't shoot enough). So, if Alzee's not a good shooter, we had none. We'll miss him terribly.

Good for him...choosing academics as well as football...I presume...

but why does a sport that doesn't even exist (baseball) get a page, when several successful sports don't? shouldn't it be merged back in with the "others"? otherwise it seems disrespectful, while the traffic doesn't justify its own sub-forum. - I would think at the very least it should be Mean Green Baseball/Softball Forum

I see Correcamino has a new screen name. Poor junior college.

Good Lord that floor is ugly...

The city skyline needs to go . . . I'm not a fan of the new busy floors some arenas are sporting these days. Otherwise, yes.

Sorry to bring this back to topic, but I hate this quote. With this thinking, how do we expect to beat out bigger schools for recruits? Just frustrating to read this, then read how people wonder when we are gonna start beating out the bigger schools. I know Manziel wasn't highly recruited, but look what he did for that school. What if this kid does the same thing for tech?

So i remember us talking about this when we were discussing the Heart of Dallas Bowl. I couldnt help but think that if UNT has a successful season.. we can convince the alumni in the DFW metroplex to wake up and smell the coffee. I think part of this is SMU's suckiness will continue.. I project SMU to start the season 0-5.. Their schedule next season for the first 5 games...SMU is going to suck. We should take advantage of this.. 08/31/14 at Baylor 9/06/14 at North Texas 09/20/14 vs. Texas A&M 09/27/14 vs. TCU 10/04/14 at East Carolina I think rather than us.. being semi-bored with this blog because we dont have alot of content to discuss right now.. that we come up with ideas for the next season to get the word out about UNT football. The first thing i am going to do is try and get the pedestrian bridge to apogee to have its lights changed to green to grab the attention of drivers on the highway. I already proposed this to a high ranking city official and he loved the idea... also loved it because it wouldnt cost alot of money and its doable. Remember this... didnt this happen due to someone on this blog mentioning something to the omni.. We have a little over 5 months, imagine what we could do if we worked on things now.. This post has been promoted to an article

Seems a bit late for a blog post about combine snubs but ProPlayerInsiders.com posted a list of their top 50. Brelan makes their cut... http://proplayerinsiders.com/top-50-combine-snubs/ (I'd never heard of this site until Vito linked to them in a draft-related MGB entry, so I wonder if he has some relationship with the site's admin or if he sort of clued them into our guys)

Absolutely. Look at our 5 signees from last season's early signing period. None were on the court this season. Just wanted to show where we are right now and where we may go. That being said, "right now" may change on a week to week basis.

No one setting up a yahoo group?

HA! Good... Down with SMU!

I will go back and forth on this often in the next few days. My current thought is... Florida Arizona Villanova Louisville

Their pep band should have played the losing music from the price is right!

Should of paid their athletes more $$$. At least they can go back to killing hookers #CJK5H

309th out of conference schedule. Where was NT?

Harry, based upon your assessment, which if I understand correctly,next season looks pretty bleak. By the by,S.F.A. is a 12 seed.

Since he's going to be here next season, how can you not discuss him being here?

BALL GAME. North Texas takes the series with UTSA following a 10-7 win over the Roadrunners in today's windy contest! Recap to come. #MGSB — Mean Green Softball (@MeanGreenSB) March 16, 2014 Rick

I think he's saying he's going to be here next year, so no point discussing him not being here.

X2 Not to mention the absolute lack of progression from Chris.

.@dddanihoff grounds out to second, but it scores @jenbeardsley2 to push the score to 6-0! #MGSB — Mean Green Softball (@MeanGreenSB) March 16, 2014 Rick

It looked and sounded good too.. they outclassed the cusa tourny in a big way

Looking back.... He probably could have helped us.

Wow. He's the next Lebron James for UNT.

http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/user/660-green-grenade-ii/ Look at "Member Title."

Got out for the first game. Decent crowd for 10 am on a Sat morn. Chilly, windy with rain on its way. I met Neal Smatresk. He was with his wife and I presume his son or daughter, spouse and his grand baby. Said it was first softball game at NT and he wanted to see two CUSA undefeated teams play. Sometime around the third inning, he turned around to the crowd, asked if Ashley's parents were in the crowd and complimented her Mom on how great of a pitcher Ashley is. Nice moment. Legitimate hit with two outs in the top of the 7th to give up the no-hitter, but great game. She struck out a whole bunch today. Had to leave, but pitching struggled in game two. May be a reflection of how good Ashley Kirk is. Game was rain delayed for about an hour, and we gave up 5 runs when the game started up again. GMG GMG

October 20th, 2010. The day we closed the book on genius.

I've been trying to do this for months! Unfortunately, it's very difficult to do stuff in the offseason. I'm going to ramp up my campaign before and after the Spring Game. Best advice, make your own, get involved, talk to people on campus. I started with something simple--a twitter account--and it evolved into a campus and area wide marketing campaign. I really have only focused on the students and alumni, there's a whole Dallas area ripe for the picking! If you want to help, send me a PM or make your own and feel free to ask if you need to bounce ideas. I am not in DFW enough to really make a mark outside of Denton, unfortunately. Look at what SMU did for basketball. They bombarded the metroplex with publicity and the Moody became the hottest ticket in Dallas. Their football, however, is dying a slow, bleeding death and we should capitalize. We need more T-shirt fans.

Tulsa is led by a bunch of underclassman. Lost top players last year Jordan Clarkson & Eric Mccellan to transfers. Suspended starter Pat Swilling Jr mid season. Amazing what good coaching can overcome, a second year one at that

ONE-HITTER by @Ashlayyyk to put away UTSA in the first game of today's #CUSASB doubleheader, 3-0! NT remains flawless in league play! #MGSB — Mean Green Softball (@MeanGreenSB) March 15, 2014 Rick

Returning players with Bowl Game experience: North Texas: about 50 UTSA: Zero And by late November,anyone playing for either team will be experienced enough.

If the guy who designed it calls it that, I'm okay with it.

Those are great Rick.

So, you felt the need to post in here to tell us you were not playing? Interesting. Could I entice you to make a bit of a donation to the cause BEFORE you head to Vegas? Harry has a PayPal site here on GMG.Com that you could use if you would like or you can PM me and I'll send my address and you could mail a contribution...any amount is greatly appreciated. Could use your support. Thanks. Enjoy Vegas!
