Matt from A700

Sigh, another tough opponent... Edit: and again, on the same weekend as Denton's Day of the Dead Festival.

The only positive thing I can take from this is the dude is taking the nut kicking pretty well. Perhaps meaning we'll still win 20 games next year?

Thankfully only postponed, not canceled. Next week will be a busy one:

Was thinking the same thing. I try to remain optimistic but with all these negatives it'd be nice to announce at least one committed transfer to prove we're not disbanding the program.

Two wins tomorrow at TAMU Commerce would be nice after a close loss to Oklahoma State and an embarrassing sweep to UAB puts us two games behind FAU for 1st in the conference. We are also back in a tie for 2nd with Tulsa (although we should hold the tiebreaker). TAMU Commerce has only been D-I since 2022. The softball team has only been around since 2015. They are 7-36 this year and 0-15 in Southland Conference play. Not only do we hopefully win both games, but it'd be nice to see the bats take advantage of a lesser team and run rule at least one of the games. We have not seen that this year yet. Hopefully the weather holds off. If you on that side of the Metroplex, the games start at 5 and 7.

I am optimistic we'll still have a competitive team, but I'm not holding my breath for any of the portal entrees to come back.

It would have been nice to retain at least one guy between Rubin, Aaron, Jason, and CJ, to maintain some sort of leadership/culture from year-to-year. That being said, I have trust in Hodge. It WILL be a challenge, but it's also an opportunity to not just retool but upgrade your team. If you recall last year in the end against our win vs. SMU, we finished crunch time with an all-transfer lineup. We can do it again, and if we target some scorers from the NCJAA/NAIA/D2 level it could be an even more talented roster, or even a play style change. I do think this portal insanity will eventually balance out to where you don't see entire starting lineups bolting. Outside a handful of top teams, I can't imagine big donors will continue dumping millions into NIL collectives without championships or benefit to their own business in return.

The wrong team listened to you unfortunately.

Really big opportunity for UNT to take control of first place if we can take care of 14-21, 5-7 UAB on the road this weekend while FAU has to battle in North Carolina with a Charlotte team that gave us fits last year and just took 2 of 3 from Wichita State.

We gotta start buying out The Lace when tickets against these big programs go on sale. Too much orange last night.

Maybe because the titles have always been nearly a decade apart and they're usually not relevant in between lol.

When does polo season start?

Basketball season is over. Maybe it'd be better for my mental state to forget about basketball until November.

UConn over Purdue. Order of who I WANT to win: NC State, Purdue, Bama, UConn I don't hate the UConn men's program as much as Kansas or Duke yet so I wouldn't mind if they won again.

They're bored. The PonyFans forum is just as empty as Ford Stadium.

It'd be hard for the defense to get even worse, but significant injuries on the offensive side could make the season worse, 2-10 or 3-9 instead of 5-7.

Davis officially did the TP move. Declaring for the draft and entering the portal.

On pace to be Seton Hall. They're already up 40-18 on Georgia with 4+ minutes left in the first half. Will be a fun matchup of two teams playing really good basketball.

The only recruiting that we should be doing at the high school level now is in the student sections.

Over

Our wing zone is still better than their proposed heptagon zone.

Honestly I did not know they sold "standing room only" tickets. The only area I can imagine that would include is the small space between the visitors' dugout and bullpen. And it's a limited view of the action. However, there's never anyone checking tickets before accessing the grandstand. NOTE: I have never attended a home game against a big name school, so maybe it's different for them.

I laughed at first, then I cried...

Whoa now! Today may have sucked but we still have a whole offseason to make sure that isn't the case!!

I wouldn't even be optimistic about the towel/mop boys at this point.
