Please people, leave baseball for UTSA just as a humanitarian gesture. Baseball is the only sport in which North Texas doesn't kick the crap out of UTSA every single season and that's only because we don't field a team. Compiling the last half decade, North Texas has like an 80% win ratio over them in every single sport. Do we really need to kick them harder? How much punishment does UTSA really deserve? Don't they deserve some pity? Leave UTSA Alone!

A victory tonight will guarantee a winning season for this year, and will be the fourth winning season during a five year stretch. That's a feat only achieved one other time in North Texas history and certainly not against the strength of schedule that the Mean Green currently plays. That's very impressive considering the team won less than a third of it's games under the previous coach. Jalie is building something special. Please come out and support our women during these final two games of the regular season.

meangreensports.com DENTON, Texas – North Texas women's basketball (14-11, 8-7) will host the UTSA Roadrunners (6-20, 3-12), on Thursday night inside the Super Pit. The game will broadcast on ESPN+ and KNTU 88.1 FM. The Mean Green have won six of their last seven contests. With the western division title hopes still intact, the Mean Green will need a win against UTSA. UNT will finish up the regular season with its Senior Day against UTEP on Saturday at 2 p.m. (CT) inside the Super Pit. QUOTING HEAD COACH JALIE MITCHELL"It's great to be in the position we're in at this point in the season. We must take care of our business in order to seal the deal. We will continue to focus on one game at a time and that starts with UTSA on Thursday. Looking back to the last time we got together, it was a very physical game, and we expect more of the same. We need to focus on playing our best basketball because that's what got us in this position."

Wow, that's two fantastic articles, the CBS one and Plumm's response.

KLTY Ticket Promo Are there any "All Tournament" tickets, or are they all one day only?

The wreck looks horrible. I am very relieved to hear that everyone is alright. If the vehicle is totaled, which looks apparent, I am already anxious to see what their replacement tailgating toy will be.

Agree. I too think we can do better. I am shocked that a school with such a large media department doesn't do more to promote it's athletics. I always envied how all WKU games were on television through university productions.

I'm grateful to the leaders that carried it under the "Maniacs" name but I think that issue has already been clearly decided and people are planning on correcting it. I'm sure that same passionate group can rebuild the Pit Crew brand. GMG!

I still think it's sad that Southern Miss is having to go down to the Sunland. I know they're financially strapped, but USM was a great program just a couple decades back. So sad. The other two I couldn't care less about.

Perhaps I am missing the obvious here. Why would this video cause you to have issue with the athletic department? I think everything went well considering they were short staffed due to a weather related travel advisory and road safety concerns. Many fans still came to the game in spite of all local news stations requesting people not to drive.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Devil's Advocate time... Our student section received a Technical Foul penalty during the Southern Miss game for using obscenities. How would fans have felt if that had instead happened at the end of the La Tech game and caused us to lose the game? I love a raucous student section that can help steer the outcome of games, but I too think it should avoid threatening behavior or being excessively vulgar. There are ways to be more effective without lowering our standards.

That "Bull..Shit.....Bull..Shit.....Bull..Shit.....Bull..Shit" chant seems to be catching on. I predict the whole country will be using it tonight.

Would somebody with information please explain what happened. Thank you. I'll hang up and listen.

Well yeah CMJ, I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya! (Adler created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!)

This same situation was battled at UT when it became a publicity black eye. It continued until Coach Mack Brown requested them to stop by saying "we don't freestyle with our traditions. That would be like letting some ugly bitch add another color to our official school colors". OK, maybe I embellished the quote a tad, but that's how they got the students to stop.

Yes, they started out as Moody Maniacs then decided to change to something similar. Moody Little Bitches was the obvious choice but it was just too spot-on. Eventually they settled for Mustang Maniacs, an attempt to pay homage to the death penalty era Mustangmania.

This upcoming season will be the 75th anniversary of our Salad Bowl game against Nevada. Maybe, just maybe, the Athletic Department will make a little bigger deal of this than they did the 1946 Optimist Bowl 75th.

I know I am always the quiet and unopinionated guy here, but, I need to pipe in on this current Pit Crew/Maniacs name debate. It's common knowledge that I view the world through a Green filter, and I can already hear y'all pleading "yes Adler, please share your wisdom". Well, here it is. The Maniacs name is already taken, has been established for years, and it's something that I don't want our student section to be compared to or associated with: MANIACS (WARNING: LINKED MATERIAL MAY BE DISTURBING) Sorry, ok, try not to pluck out your eyes after viewing that ugliness. It's a little late to change for this season, well, way too late, but please revert to the name PIT CREW in future seasons. It's unique, it's catchy, and it's ours. PIT CREW!
