#3 from our house. Son joins my wife and oldest son. Proud pop here!

Anyone have any more info on this? I was poking around looking for new articles on Mason and I came across this interesting bit of news. The film festival is in Denton in April. https://www.tulsaworld.com/communities/skiatook/news/osiyo-voices-of-the-cherokee-people-showcasing-special-features-at/article_4f46b2a9-dad3-56a2-8b89-14b396420d5a.html From the article: "The producers of Cherokee Nation’s Emmy award-winning documentary series, “Osiyo, Voices of the Cherokee People,” have been selected to screen their short films at several major film festivals in 2019. What began as a monthly, 30-minute news magazine-style program in February 2015 has morphed into a weekly show and reshaped the way the tribe shares about its history, language, culture and people. Now Cherokee Nation is sharing those stories as individual short documentaries, competing in film festivals across the globe. The series, and the short documentaries within it, has earned numerous regional, national and international accolades, including five Heartland Regional Emmy awards and most recently Best Short Documentary at the LA Skins Fest, which featured more than 70 Native American, independent productions representing hundreds of reservations, nations and tribal organizations."

You need to donate more $$$$ and you also will be invited.

As a father of two softball players, I love seeing all this interest in softball. Thanks for the updates Rick. I’m “watching” the game on the stat broadcast.

World shortage of green dye. All used on our new track.

We should not even bother recruiting Tyler Lee. Jeff Traylor's little brother is the head coach, and he sends most of his recruits to Arkansas. Last year, we were on that Beaux Limmer kid before any other school, and then here comes Arkansas sniffing around.

Congrats LongJim!

Added an Army offer. Perhaps a good sign that at the very least he likes wearing green:

This was a hell of an entertaining game despite the loss, 7 home runs total, five by NT on a frigid (32 degrees when I got back to my truck) night the north wind was screaming out to center field. Problem is we kept hitting solos. Twice Makawe was standing on deck while we had runners on base only for the inning to end, ...then she stepped in the box the next inning and hit bombs. No doubt it would have been different if the nation’s hit leader had been in the lineup. Still it was also a night everything just went uta’s way along with untimely errors. Especially in the first two innings that saw them go up 4-0. I counted at least 3 hits that cueballed off the bat and didn’t get 15 feet from the plate. Just those squirrelly spinning balls right on the line that died and no one could do anything with them. We also had a Pop fly that hit dirt we lost in the wind and a bunt and throwing error to first. I can’t help but feel the cold played a part but that’s baseball. UTA is good, and deep at pitcher. The pitcher that got the win tonight is maybe their 4th pitcher and one of two freshmen they have from California. And that’s another thing to take from this game is their stud didn’t get the win and ours didn’t get the loss. BTW, just in case you think UTA isn’t serious about softball. Pretty damn nice for a little sister school. Rick

🤮

Parker County’s finest Rhylie Makawe hit a solo bomb that still hasn’t come down. 5-4 Mean Green. BTW Katie Clark is out of the lineup tonight. Rick

Only one I take issue with is FAU. UNT should be at least 4th on that list. Big potential and financial commitment from the current admin could bump it up higher depending on how that's factored in.

The season ain't over yet, Skippy. Yet another moronic article from the NTD.

Since we loss I assume this made the front page of the DRC?

GH is old news. Let's move on.

Nice! I’m about to sign my 2-week old up for the Scrappy Squad. Admission to college is a little bit down the road. But it will almost certainly be NT. Hopefully!

And we whooped Jeff Traylor's little brother's big brother's school last year in their house.

The Isaiah Essissima service.😂

Fantastic! Congrats! Great to see our Alums instilling the Mean Green spirit into their offspring. Way way too many of our Alums kiddos head off to "other places". And, yes, full disclosure here, mine did...a U.S. Military Academy, so I plead for understanding.And, yes, I do understand the multitude of legitimate reasons why some kiddos head elsewhere, but when we can...LongJim has the right idea. Ha! Way to go LongJim!

A tradition is building in Casa LongJim. 👍

The old administration would have made the track orange.

Motel 6

I’m just pissed at the guy in the middle too busy posing to clap.

Or Josh Jackson..

PLAY BALL! Rick

The festival has both feature length and short films, but their website doesn't have the films that will be there listed yet, so it could just be a short documentary or it could be feature length. If it's a short, I'm wondering if it is this, which has been available to view for a while:

If I'm a head coach I look at recruiting, school administration, facilities, and salary for me and my staff. Consistency and winning tradition only goes so far. It's a what-have-you-done-lately that matters to recruits. FAU has no tradition and no fan support. La Tech is in the middle of no where. So Miss can't pay their coaches. Marshall has to rely on questionable "students" to compete. The top three jobs are probably us, La Tech, and Marshall. Honestly, if all CUSA teams were trying to hire the same head coach, who would that coach pick? Right now it would be very difficult for that coach to pass on North Texas.

You think so? I could maybe contend with FAU, but LaTech, SoMiss, and Marshall all have much more consistency and tradition in winning than we do. I think we're about right. If Baker can keep the train rolling after Seth I might start to move us up more, but we just don't have the consistency yet.

Did anybody suggest $1 beer night?

I am a big fan of using tight ends as a piece of the puzzle and truly wish we would utilize our tight ends more in the offense...I think Mason would run the bootleg pass to the tight end well for a TD most every game instead of us trying to run it over the middle on third and 3-4 for inside the ten. Just me. I like tight ends...hello Jason Whitten!

My sister works at the State Capital and sent me this picture of several UNT officials for "UNT Day"

Wag Tag, I appreciate you posting those construction photos of the IPF. If it's not too much trouble, please continue to keep us updated on the progress of this facility.

New number who dis?

What if ihop does even better at the new location?

Have the students no refuge? Have they no resource? Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?

that's like saying the regular games are pointless and they don't try, teams only try in games that may matter...all games matter was the atm victory in pool play or semis?

I believe the owner was from out of state? Please correct me if I’m wrong. A friend of mine said he also owns a business close to the Baylor campus and is currently in the same situation with Baylor.

We had approximately 150 UNT Alumni, students and staff visiting the capitol and individual representative and senator offices for the first time ever! This was the first ever UNT Day at the Capitol and I was very happy to have been part of the day. We were very well received in most every office we visited and a couple of the offices my team visited mentioned what a big impact we made gallery during the day's opening ceremonies with all our green AND in the number of people we had on hand. A very special day for UNT and I would encourage anyone who can to be part of this UNT Day event during the next session in two-years.

I-Hop is a "small business"???? I thought I-Hop was a national chain.

Certainly a concerning trend of late season slumps. I have no idea what happened at Arkansas State. Last year we seemed to run out of gas after a string of close games. Got a couple of players healthy for the CBI and won it. This year losing Duffy and then Woolridge Wasn’t helpful. Most teams in the country would notice a difference losing those contributions. At this point we just need to get healthy and win the CUSA tourney like we did the CBI last year.

So are we not getting Fluffy or Simmons back until the tourney or what?

I thought it was his groin?

You haven’t watched us lately have you? Hah.

Maybe winter workouts? Spring Practice won't start until March 18th.

Walkoff grand slam. Good game. Rick
