CUSA continues to serve its new purpose as a stepping stone for FCS teams to the G5. They should go poach the powerhouses in the Dakotas and Montana too while they're at it before 2-Pac cherrypicks the MWC and the MWC has to backfill.

Yeah it seems Tulsa has blown a lot of leads this year. We have too but Tulsa's blown leads seemed bigger. Now FAU has to play after a week off against the home team who has scored 24 runs in 2 games. Barnard has hit like four homers lol.

Things are going UNT's way so far. Obviously the two wins, but the bats are somewhat alive, 16 runs and only 3 off of 2 homers I believe. Hopefully we can catch Charlotte cold in a winner-take-all game tomorrow against a team we should have won 2 of 3 against last weekend. Meanwhile, Tulsa doubling up the hometown WSU team, 8-4 in the 5th. Winner of that game plays FAU.

After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

Absolutely! If you want to purchase with us let me know how many. Back when I started doing the group outings with basketball, I didn't think I'd expand this to football because of the allotted tickets that benefitted UNT, but because of seat locations and higher prices I thought why the heck not. Ultimately, I don't want to compete with what UNT is doing, I just want more green at the game. For these road games at South Alabama, Texas Tech, and UTSA I've been prospecting through LinkedIn for people who live near those areas and have been having good conversations with getting those people out. The end goal is not only to increase engagement but also try to drum up interest in establishing more alumni chapters.

I have checked with the AD a couple of months ago when basketball season was still in session. I was told they make a very slim margin on tickets. Plus like most opposing venues, the visiting team (and band) are given isolated sections in the corners. For Tech, they're giving our AD tickets in Sections 110 and 111, which is weird considering our team will be on the east sideline. I think they don't want opposing colors to be on the TV side.

UPDATE 9/9: According to the athletics website, tickets are no longer on sale/available in our allotted sections for the Tech game - so those who worry my efforts hurt our ticket office's sales can rest easy! Meanwhile, my TTU sales rep has informed me that they typically do not sell group tickets the day before the game - so if you're still needing tickets and want to guarantee sitting with other UNT fans, get your requests in by Thursday at 3 p.m. Our group is up to 57! EDIT: With the end of softball season comes the look-ahead to the 2024-25 academic/athletic year. The 2024 football season will feature the first game of a (planned) home-and-home with Texas Tech on Saturday, September 14th in Lubbock. If you're interested in joining our group, staying together with other Mean Green fans at the same hotel, and other weekend group activities, please fill out this interest form to help me out: https://forms.gle/TBUiDfBsrH5bQTT16 Group tickets will range from $27.50-$37.50 with no extra fees in the two sections (117/118) we're starting from and group tickets are already available for purchase. I just need at least 20 commitments to get the group discount. Just a reminder of the type of "takeovers" we had on only 1-2 weeks notice earlier this year: Original message: Your fellow group organizer here! Who all for sure is going to make the trek up to Lubbock for the 9/14 game at Tech? I'm still awaiting RFPs for hotel discounts, but wanted to go ahead and buy the initial group of 20 tickets needed to get the group discount within this week or next. The red ($27.50) and gold ($37.50) areas are the only sections opened up to group sales. We're looking at 117 and 118 to start out with. Let me know if you're interested and would be willing to get your tickets now. Trying to do it early before the group gets too split up.

The free throw percentage decrease this past season is concerning. It looks like he can shoot the 3 but was not as high of an option on the offensive side as Aaron. Hoping Hodge signs another 4 that has better shooting numbers.

Hopefully we can get another run-rule win against Memphis to get the bats going and hopefully we draw ECU in the second game who we swept in our first conference series of the year. Gonna need that and career games out of Wagoner and Savage Friday/Saturday to have a chance.

The bats have definitely been the biggest disappointment the past two years. The run support simply hasn't been there enough. Now, I'm still optimistic for the tournament. Last year we won three straight to make it to the title game. But that double bye would have been nice especially if we only have two reliable pitchers right now.

Mikayla gets the scoring started in the 4th inning of Game 1 with her 11th bomb of the year!

Well it's coming back this year, baby! And that image specifically is going to find itself into a lot of opponents' tweet replies.

You rang?

Like last week, doubleheader today and third game TBD.

You rang?

It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.

Misleading title. There will be tickets for the game, and I'm trying to get as many people together here for a group discount as well. If anyone would also be interested in trying to coordinate a hotel group discount, let me know.

Wow, 146-3. I guess that's my goal to beat SMU by when the new college football game comes out.

SCRAP 'EM!!! I'll excuse myself, I had some free time at work....

"Street preachers"

The OOC play has been disappointing for sure. The past two years especially we just have not been competitive against most of our power conference foes aside from the two Iowa State wins in Fayetteville and home win against OSU last year. While we still have a chance for first place overall in the conference, our lacking offensive output is still concerning to me. We have 211 runs and 40 homers in 50 games this season compared to 297 runs and 71 homers in 53 games in 2022. That sweep to UAB is going to haunt us if we don't finish in the Top 2.

Hopefully these prospects aren't visiting on a Wednesday and walk through the Library Mall.

I saw that earlier in the season but I'm pretty sure they're both seniors. Donohoe especially has been here a long time I know for sure. Think the website's just wrong. Edit: after checking, Donohoe has been here since 2020. Truitt has been with us since 2021 but did not play in 2022 due to injury. I would assume that would have been a redshirt year, but yeah maybe she's ready to move on and graduate. Has only been used as a pinch runner this spring.

Interested to see who is the starting PG between Wright or Floyd. Wright's got the scoring edge and Floyd has the assists edge. Floyd is also two inches taller.

Looks like Ann Arbor is the new Flop City.
