  1. SMUt paid that Bama transsfer RB 250K supposedly and the dude never stepped foot on the field. I think seeing that happen over and over again will get old.
  2. Can you guys just give us a couple of years to enjoy this great conference that we are joining now before looking over your shoulder?
  3. I remember it more like they came up with that as an excuse not to play us.
  4. No doubt we lost a lot from that class.
  5. I am very excited about the new golf coach. Just reading up on his past, he has a history of winning.
  6. I get what you are saying but my son has been a fan of Jyaire for 3-4 years now and we bought him a jersey last year that cost close to 200 bucks and he got it autographed by Jyaire at Rudy's as well. How do I explain to my son that he can't cheer for his favorite player anymore?
  7. Sort of side arm looking to mine eyes.
  8. Saying you don't want Liberty if they add value to the conference and increase our revenue streams doesn't make sense. Yes they have had some scandals with Fallwell but so did Baylor and all of you would accept Baylor in a heartbeat. #GEtOffURHIGH HORSE
  9. DENTON, Texas – UNT men’s basketball head coach Ross Hodge hired former Southeastern Louisiana assistant coach Mike Randle on Thursday to be an on-floor assistant coach for the reigning 2023 NIT champion Mean Green. Randle joins Hodge’s staff after a successful season at Southeastern where he helped lead the Lions to an 18-14 overall record and a top-three finish in the Southland Conference with a 12-6 league record. SLU’s 12 league wins were tied for its most since 2018. “I am excited to have Mike join our basketball program,” Hodge said. “He has an energetic and infectious personality that attracts people to him. His ability to connect with student-athletes, staff, and alumni will be a tremendous asset to UNT. He is tireless worker and has built meaningful relationships throughout the country.” The Lions were one of the most balanced teams in the conference but featured one of the nation’s most secure offenses. Southeastern played a quicker tempo and averaged over 77.5 points per game and were one of the nation’s best at not turning the ball over and making 3-pointers. The Lions connected on nearly 37 percent of their shots from long range and turned the ball over less than 17 percent of the time. Randle was instrumental in mentoring the Lions’ newcomer Boogie Anderson to a first team all-league honor. Anderson led the Lions in scoring (14.1 ppg), assists (4.4 apg) and steals (1.2 spg). Prior to Southeastern Louisiana, Randle made a name for himself in the junior college ranks. He spent the 2021-22 season at Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida, as an assistant coach and helped guide the River to a 28-5 record, a conference championship and seven all-conference selections and a first team all-American honoree in AJ Cajuste. For its success, Indian River State College’s staff led by head coach Charlie Wilson were named the Coach of the Year. Prior to IRSC, Randle spent the 2020-21 season at Kilgore College as an assistant coach helping lead the Rangers to the NJCAA National Tournament for the first time since 2013. Killgore finished with an 18-6 overall record in the COVID shortened season. Randle mentored NJCAA All-American Dantwan Grimes that season who later transferred to Baylor. Randle, a Houston native and 2015 graduate from Eastern New Mexico State, began his playing career at Paris Junior College and led them to a NJCAA Region XIV conference championship. Hodge is an alum and the former head coach at Paris from 2005-09. Randle is joining a UNT men's basketball program coming off its most successful season in its history. The Mean Green won a program-record 31 games last season to go along with tying the program-record for conference wins (16). UNT earned a bid into the 2023 National Invitation Tournament where they defeated Alcorn State, Sam Houston, Oklahoma State, Wisconsin and UAB in route to its first NIT championship in program history. North Texas, which has now won a championship trophy in each of the last four seasons, elevated associate head coach Ross Hodge to head coach on April 2 and will make the move to the American Athletic Conference next season.

  10. 10. NORTH TEXAS MEAN GREEN 5-year avg.: 20,724 5-year-over-year percent change: -8.2 When the students show up in bunches, Apogee Stadium is one of the best venues in G5 football, especially in the Lone Star State. The Mean Green March includes the Green Brigade Marching Band and the football team. The set-up is great for tailgating. https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2023/05/18/ranking-the-best-game-day-experiences-in-texas-college-football?ref=article_preview_img
  11. LAGRANGE | Nothing like adding a little Mean Green to your roster in May. Auburn signed two transfers from North Texas this week in wide receiver Jyaire Shorter and linebacker Larry Nixon III. Both could potentially step in as starters this fall. "Jyaire Shorter, I think, is a deep ball threat,” said AU coach Hugh Freeze. “He’s proven he can go get the ball. He gives us some length and catch radius that we need for what we want to do offensively. "Larry Nixon is a tackling machine. He was either All-CUSA or led Conference USA in tackles. It was above 100. I think he’s a great addition to us also. We’re real excited about both of those guys.” Shorter caught 23 passes for 628 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, averaging an FBS-best 27.2 yards per reception. The 6-foot-2, 218-pound Shorter had four catches of more than 50 yards last season. Auburn’s receivers totaled just two in 2022, both by slot Ja’Varrius Johnson. “I'd like to see that. I'll take that right now,” said Freeze of the explosive plays. “If we can get him 20 catches and 10 of them are touchdowns, that's pretty good. Hopefully we can get him more.

  12. I got a message asking about the post. Simmons is looking good. Has added muscle and strength in the off season. He has worked on his shooting 3 pointers alot. He will have a lot of open 3's in this offense.
  13. Russian player Mark Tikhonenko is playing ball in Spain. Arkansas State transfer Jahmiah Simmons is playing in Virgin Islands. Larry Wise is looking to be a very solid recruit and could get playing time early. Team will be heading to Rome on August 12 returning from Florence on August 22. They will play four games, three of them against lower level professional teams and one will be against an all-star team of Italians trying to land a spot on a pro team. This should be of benefit for team to develop chemistry.
