Best North Texas Basketball Game You Have Ever Attended?
ADLER replied to UNTLifer's topic in Mean Green Basketball
-
It's the sideline cameras, and how they can zoom in on the individual players and show the emotions on their faces like at an NBA game. I would have thought that by the 2020's North Texas would have had a quality school owned television production network like WKU has. Maybe in the 2030's? Do we not have media classes that teach this type of production?

Um, DeepGreen's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw DeepGreen pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. ... Get well Phill, we love ya . -

Mean Green Wear Green And Beat Middle Tennessee, 70-63
ADLER posted a topic in Mean Green Basketball
https://meangreensports.com/news/2022/1/8/mens-basketball-mean-green-beat-middle-tennessee.aspx North Texas returned to wearing school colors on Saturday and subsequently returned to winning. DENTON — The North Texas men's basketball team beat Middle Tennessee Saturday afternoon from the Super Pit 70-63 behind a season-high 25 points by newcomer Tylor Perry.Perry scored 17 of his 25 in the second half as the Mean Green held off the pesky Blue Raiders. Score By Periods Team 1 2 F Middle Tenn. 33 30 63 North Texas 36 34 70 "Give credit to Middle Tennessee," said head coach Grant McCasland. "I thought their pressure on defense really had us out of wack especially early. But proud of our team for how they fought through it and found a way to win late."UNT (9-3, 2-1 C-USA) had a season-high 16 turnovers Saturday and eight of them came in the first nine minutes of the game. But a strong shooting night by the team as a whole kept them ahead of Middle Tennessee (9-6, 0-2 C-USA) for most of the game. The Mean Green were 10-of-17 (59 percent) from deep and 20-of-40 (50 percent) overall. "I thought this was one of our best shooting nights," McCasland said. "Anytime you shoot that well from three you give yourself a chance and it started with Drez (McBride) knocking down the first one." Mardrez McBride chipped in 11 points and was 3-of-5 from 3-point range. He scored all 11 points in the first half. In the second half UNT kept the Blue Raiders honest by still attacking the paint and getting to the free throw line. The Mean Green made a season-high 20 free throws Saturday. But when Middle Tennessee was making one final push late in the game, it was Perry who extinguished any Blue Raider hope. With 49 seconds remaining, Perry hit the bottom of the basket on a 30-plus-foot 3-pointer with a hand in his face as the shot clock buzzer rang to give the Mean Green a 69-60 win."We tell him all the time to shoot," McCasland said with a smile. "He's got a special talent and is a unique point guard than we've had here in the past. He's built for those moments."North Texas is on the road next week as they travel to Marshall on Thursday for a 6 p.m. CT scheduled tip-off and then play at WKU on Saturday for a 3 p.m. CT scheduled start. -
Mean Green Wear Gray For Some Reason, Fall To UAB, 69-63
ADLER replied to ADLER's topic in Mean Green Basketball
I think we sometimes get treated unfairly by the referees simply because our bad luck gray and bad luck black uniforms are just so ugly, at least when compared to our beautiful iconic Green and White uniforms. . -
Mean Green Wear Gray For Some Reason, Fall To UAB, 69-63
ADLER replied to ADLER's topic in Mean Green Basketball
North Texas played well and fought hard, but the unlucky gray uniforms were just enough to tilt the game in favor of the Blazers. The final score would probably have been reversed if we were wearing our school colors. -
https://meangreensports.com/news/2022/1/6/mens-basketball-mean-green-fall-to-uab-69-63.aspx The jinx continues. North Texas confirms that they usually have bad luck when wearing black or gray. DENTON — The Mean Green men's basketball team's six-game winning streak came to an end Thursday night as North Texas fell 69-63 to UAB at the Super Pit.The Mean Green were outscored 15-1 on second chance points and made three less free throws than the league favorite Blazers."Give credit to UAB they did what they needed to do to win," said head coach Grant McCasland. "They attacked the paint and got second chance points. We knew we had to rebound well to win. I felt like we had a chance there at the end but we didn't make winning plays."With less than 2:15 left in the game, UNT (8-4, 1-1) trailed by just two points. A missed jumper by UAB (13-3, 3-0) was batted out by the Blazers' big man Trey Jemison to his guard Jordan Walker who stepped in a sank a second-chance bucket to increase the lead to two possessions. A missed three on the other end by North Texas turned into two more points for UAB essentially sealing the win."We didn't make the plays late," said senior guard Mardrez McBride. "We got away from attacking the paint and got comfortable with shooting 3-pointers. We know we're a good team and we know we have another important opportunity in front of us Saturday."North Texas took multiple leads in the second half after trailing by one point at halftime, the first time they've trailed at half in seven games. However, they could never increase their lead in the second half to more than one possession. McBride led the way for North Texas with a game-high 17 points. It ties his season-high. He was 4-of-7 from deep. North Texas will be back in action Saturday when they host Middle Tennessee (9-5, 0-1) at 5 p.m. CT from the Super Pit. ***Please feel free to downvote if you absolutely hate the off-color uniforms.*** .

fast and strong

There's speculation that this former walk-on, Ralph Rucker, may inherit the starting quarterback duties at OU now that Caleb Williams has entered the Transfer Portal. He was awarded a scholarship and has obviously made an impression in Norman. It could be a great football rags to riches story for one of our preferred walk-on recruits.

DRC: Littrell, Baker will receive bonuses for bowl appearance
ADLER replied to Brett Vito's topic in Mean Green Football
No, Helwig added blue and copper. Then we correctly returned to GREEN and WHITE. Those fricking logos took forever to go away The disgusting Blue and Copper were eventually discarded as they were "pulled out-of-tail-end" additions. Black was then added as an accent color, usually for outlining Green on a White background or White on a Green background. But a non-caring university employee, with computer access far beyond her scope of knowledge, was then able to place on the branding site that her favorite fashion color was somehow one of our official school colors. It isn't. -

There is absolutely nothing wrong with black being used for blackout games, pink during cancer awareness, or throwbacks during a throwback event. Those are all great. Where there is an issue is, people who really couldn't give a rat's rear about this university being placed into a decision making capacity that is outside of their realm of comprehension. What if an employee added fashionable colors purple or teal to Tennessee's official colors by just changing a school web site? Do you think there would be a reaction from fans? -

ADLER replied to Brett Vito's topic in Mean Green Football
In the 1902 1903 school year the students voted to adopt Green and White as the college school colors. During the early 21st century, black was added as a secondary color for outlining logos on printed material. Somebody, on their own accord, mistakenly added black as a third "official" school color, a screw-up that has yet to be corrected. -

Dickey didn't start the whole "you can still get paid by North Texas without showing loyalty to North Texas, simply by always dressing in black". That was all already started by Mandy McManly as a way to tell the people that loved this school to f*** off. Now Cr1028, nobody can stop you if you really want to align yourself with Mandy, although we may be able to have an exorcism performed. -

The school's moniker is the MEAN GREEN. Very few schools in the country are so closely associated with a color. Almost everyone else has a mascot, we have a color. The instructions aren't complicated. If in doubt, watch a Fansville commercial. -
Maybe, but I do enjoy lightly researching these North Texas history. I also thought that the 75th anniversary of the culmination of one of our most important seasons, a coach against all odds, a ragtag team of unrecruited players, and the subsequent monumental bowl victory were getting overlooked by our athletic department and by our local media. It's Bad News Bears, Necessary Roughness, 12 Mighty Orphans, and Rocky I & 2 all mixed into one amazing season. It's our Greatest Generation, depleted by WWII , returning to Americana, and it's the beginning of a tiny regional teachers college, already known in the sports world for golf and track, evolving and forging a national name for itself in football.
