Matt from A700

Second pick-up of the day, fourth overall from the transfer portal. I like the assists number. Hopefully Hodge and Forte get our offense moving more with guys like Floyd. Edit: This guy also has junior college experience AND winning. He won a NJCAA national championship with Northwest Florida State College. He's also from Tampa, so we could have a lot of supporters when we visit USF next season.

As long as we can get a media rights deal that is not streaming-only, this is what I'd like. The American has got some work to do to not be in the same situation that Pac is in in a few years when its media deal is up and this time is negotiating without Houston, UCF, and Cincy. While some fans may not like it, we also need to continue building our rivalry with UTSA. They have the stronger FB program right now so we need to make our two schools a package deal for any conference that pursues us if the American implodes.

Lol for real. The ladies swept Memphis this past weekend by a combined score of 26-1. Memphis had 7 hits and 8 errors over the three games.

I promise this'll be my last softball-in-football-forum spamming, I thought it was worth it since we're about to enter the most boring time of the sports year. There are three more chances to root for your Mean Green before football season. Those come this weekend in a crucial softball series with Wichita State, who won the AAC last year. Whether you buy tickets and sit in the stands, or cheer on from the outfield for free, get to Denton and support the ladies! Here's how the AAC is shaping up this year. The top two seeds get a double bye in the conference tournament and only have to win two games May 10-11 in Wichita to get to the NCAA Tournament. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.

We have got to figure out how to be a more attractive and lucrative destination than programs like New Mexico or Vanderbilt.

Return game against #6 Oklahoma State (39-8). We had opportunities to win a few weeks ago in a 2-1 loss to the Cowgirls in Denton. Last nonconference showing before two big series against Wichita State and at Charlotte.

Yeah, the Texas A&M game sucked, but to go from a 12-0 run rule loss a few weeks ago to a win would have been quite the turnaround. We definitely took care of business in the five games we should have taken care of business in, outscoring TAMU Commerce and Memphis 51-4 in five games. Memphis had 7 hits and 8 errors this weekend.

She's finally in the game now in the 5th and pitched only one inning yesterday. Wagoner got the start again today. Is Childers hurt?

Up 4-0 already in the second of the finale against Memphis. Charlotte has already swept Tulsa this weekend, meaning if win today we'll have the same conference record as Charlotte and I don't know what the next tiebreaker is if we haven't played each other yet. However, UTSA and FAU are tied at 1 apiece right now. If UTSA somehow pulls the upset today, there would be a three-way tie for first. Between the three teams, UNT would be 2-1 against the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 1-2. The last series in Charlotte two weeks from now will be HUGE.

I hope none of that FedEx NIL money goes to Memphis softball because it'd be nice to have at least one cupcake in the conference to look forward to playing.

Yep, might need some run support for Savage and Childers.

Quick game so far. 2-0 UNT through 4.5 innings on two SAC flies from Nicholson and Moffitt. Memphis has a solo commentator but he's very professional sounding. Also like the organ being played at the ballpark.

Love Rubin and his family, wish him the best, just find it interesting he got snatched by Dusty May. Plenty of opportunities for tampering to have been involved this season.

To me it didn't look like our batters were intimidated. We finished with like 4 or 5 hits in 5 innings, better than getting no-hit like we did to Kentucky and Mizzou last season. But we let a bad call at second that would have been the third out snowball into six more runs to put the game out of reach early. A&M misplayed a couple of grounders that allowed more of our runners to get on but obviously kept us from scoring until the last inning.

Come on Peterbilt!!

Yeah maybe I should limit the number of threads about players whose finalist lists we make lol. I can't imagine Nicholls could offer more $$? They're called Nicholls for a reason.

Yes!! Let's stop thinking about who's going to hurt us in the portal next season and try to get excited for 2024-25. I'm intrigued to find out if this guy is going to compete for Moulaye's spot in the starting lineup. I'm assuming Sissoko is coming back for his grad year until news comes out otherwise. The thing that might make Vice our 6th man instead is his young age. But he's an inch taller and just 5 lbs. lighter than Moulaye. In limited time he had better stats, including rebounding, than Moulaye last year. He's also got a cool name. I wish it rolled off the tongue better.

I've been thinking about this comment as well. This seems to be our biggest fault of our women's programs, who overall are usually pretty solid. Soccer vs. TTU, SMU, women's basketball vs. TAMU, TCU, and our softball team against most power conference teams the last few years. I remember in the recent past our softball ladies used to be good for at least one win over Baylor in their own tournament every year for a few seasons in a row. Now on nights like Wednesday, we play like we're not both competing for the same championship.

Yes. 😔

Black jerseys tonight, pinstripes tomorrow, green on Sunday. Believe it or not, that's progress. We didn't wear green at all last weekend.

Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend.

I didn't think she could get off to a worse start than last Friday when she walked four batters in 1+ innings of work, but alas, four walks without recording an out last night. She's been going crazy with those pitches sailing over batters' heads.

Can she shoot 3's?

I've noticed Christensen has been out of the lineup more too.
