Rock

NIL is killing College Football. NFL not the same as it once was either. Politics, money, no affiliation, no allegiance. Now College = cheer for the helmet, logo, school name. Players come and go. My interest is dying off and I am a sports fanatic. Every stadium in America has pictures of past players, hall of fame. Will that die? why would I vote for a kid that played at multiple schools for my HOF class? I love watching Morris play QB. but will I follow him to another school .. Nope. Do you think Oklahoma or TCU cares what he is doing at NT ? Kids used to get a college education, school for free, play sports, maybe find a future job. Now its all about the dollar. Why would I follow that behavior ? Why would I buy a jersey with a name on it ? I followed Peagram, Kassel, Cobbs, Mason Fine, Dunbar, Darden, Guyton, etc. ... because they played for our school .. not because they came for a year and left. It's a shame but I dont blame them .. Money isnt everything but its tough to live without it. System Sucks.

I dont reply often but this one seems out of line. Im sure there is more to the story than we are aware. Poor choice of titles for a thread. that being said, I will be watching and cheering for my school. The truth has a way of finding its way to us eventually.

Great achievement yet also noteworthy is that he has the highest percentage of wins. Very impressive. Particularly when players and coaches are know to switch schools on a regular basis .. which in itself is a shame. Consistency is nice to see in many ways

Class act all the way. Years ago I was on a business trip in San Jose. Nevada team came through and I saw him, said hello and we talked for several minutes. He went out of his way to say hello, ask my name, etc. I told him, everybody at North Texas knows who you are and remembers what you did for us. Good times.

Impressive. I recall kids trying to make field goals at halftime of Lake Travis playoff run ... scary how easy he makes that look.

What a great looking group to represent the team. A few of us keep an eye on the job they have done, repeatedly, for several years now. THANK YOU LADIES for all that you do !!! Check it out ... https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/

So close. Stranded girls on 2nd and 3rd base in the 6th ... had chance to take over the game with only 1 out. They are playing well after a tough start to the season and doing great in conf. play.

Ladies have done well lately after a difficult schedule to start the year. Like the fact that we upgraded the facilities, yet think we can do more for them. I'm remote so see games but those last few were still exciting with the walk off homers, etc. Understand the impeding runner from the base rule, but it has to be modified. Tulsa was clearly out at 3rd base long before getting to the bag and our girl was definitely out at home yet they both offset and things worked out. Shame those decisions can affect the game with such impact. Exciting times to be a Mean Green Fan across the board.

They added covered seats across the field for players / teams.

NT in a tough game as I predicted with Tulsa. Watching the 2nd half. We are definitely the aggressor yet Tulsa has had some good shots on goal. 2-2 with 33 min. remaining. AND they have new section for teams across field ... thank you ... so much better. keep it coming !!

Curious to hear your viewpoints. I watched on Espn+ earlier. Skipped through some areas yet caught the game overall. Some thoughts. 1. Celtic Uni - so clearly we had an advantage 🙂 however, I agree the back of jersey numbers were not clear on screen. 2. UTSA had good ball control, particularly in the first half. I bet time of possession was similar overall. For NT, Brunell has nice touch on ball, passing. I have always liked Roebuck toughness in midfield (signed a hat for me last year). Ogden has been quite good - congrats on the 2nd goal !! I foresee the team getting more comfortable with game, slowing down and passing more strategically into the box vs. longer kicks to one (maybe two) girls to take advantage of size or position. 3. Wesco and Brown clearly have some height advantage. NT went more into defensive mode in 2nd half yet longer passes toward goal were clearly a mismatch at times for UTSA defense. 4. Defense. Has always been a trademark for NT. 7 shutouts in 10 games this year is fantastic. We have good depth this year. Some solid hits throughout the game. Hope injured girls from both teams are okay. 5. Tulsa. They tied UTSA and SMU 0-0. Should be a win for us, yet wont be easy. They have scored well on lesser opponents. We will need more offensive production - opportunities as we did with Rice to beat Tulsa yet our D should prove the diff. 6. Facilities. After seeing other fields, even more I feel NT has to add seating for both teams, and geez, add fencing or something for balls hit out of play on far side of NT field !! Track team could also take advantage of seating or ?? on far side of field.

Good call @UNTLifer .. either way, they deserve better. They are too good not to get the upgrade. Been consistent for years and this team looks to continue that tradition.

I only saw the 2nd half yet it was clear our team had more .. desire, talent, etc. Not taking away from Rice, but our girls seemed more determined. Won 1:1 match-ups, better vision downfield, stronger overall. Now, Tech looked more dominant against us earlier in the year, so perhaps focus and env. played a part. I missed the Memphis game. Hoping to see more wins coming and building on this win over a recent C-USA rival. We are better than that bench set-up across the field. Seriously. Get them covered area with race car seats !! And bring on the Celtic Uniforms !!

This soccer team seems a little more scrappy, more contact perhaps in challenging the ball but its early on .. open to your assessment. If I can be critical 🙂 the offense could slow down a little and set up positional players (at times) vs the longer drop in trying to get a 1:1 push toward goal. Ex. note the last goal, player was at top of the box, received the pass and turned to kick. Previously balls were shot from outside the box vs. playing inside to crossing teammate, and the goalie had ample time to respond .. farther (slower) attack. I know we have always had an emphasis on defense, yet too many times we shot from far out vs. keeping possession and aligning incoming players. Easy to be a armchair observer .. Still, love the success of our women's team

Ladies looking good at 3-0, holding all 3 teams scoreless. Gotta give them a lot of credit. They fly under the radar yet do soo well. And they have same uniforms as the Scots Celtics !! Sweeeeet

Appreciate the update Harry. I remember meeting you some 20+ years back and going to a BBall game. Your voice hasn't changed 🙂 appreciate the podcast and everything else you do as well.

I had a water leak and could not get to event in Austin. Any pics or intel to share? Sorry I missed it.

Let's give Rondel a warm welcome. I trust in the staff to make such a decision. Overall team talent looks great on paper .. the Staff can judge social - team dynamics to gel and make it another great season. Some people asked who Kai was and he turned out to be one of the best surprises in all of basketball. Welcome Rondel .. looking forward to a great season .. enjoy the ride.

Nice interview. Respectful, motivated individual. Looks like North Texas got a solid person as well as a football player. Welcome to the team CJ. Best of luck. Enjoy the ride 🙂

Coach seems to be building a nice team. Hoping they can come together and play as one. Congrats Sophie ... welcome to the team. Appréciez la balade !!

Listened to the game online .. announcer from Okie State did a fine job recognizing players, giving NT credit, even stating the attendance was clearly higher than recognized at the gates. If you haven't seen the uploads on twitter, go check them out. Great to see the girls get a great win. I thought we were going to beat UT several weeks back as well. time to step up in conf. play. Nice to see multiple sports competing at the end of the season for titles.

If you have not read the story .... do so. You wont regret it. Puts things in perspective. All the best to you, Kai. You were a major part of this year being special for many more than you realize.

Nice play on name Matt .. truth is my last name actually is Rock. Go Mean Green !!
