Here are 5 things I hope you will or won't do when you get here.

  1. Please don't say "Why not North Texas?" Partially because others have said it, and partially because you never ask a question that you don't want to hear the answer too. And there are plenty of bad answers to that question.
  2. Please don't say "There are 200K alumnus in the area there isn't any reason we can't fill Apogee" There actually are plenty of reasons. For most of the time the school has neglected athletics. Most students now alums moved on to cheer for another team. They can be brought back, but that's your job on the field not in statements to press
  3. Please don't say "There are so many good kids right around DFW we just have to recruit those here". No that won't work. Remember point 2 about how the school neglected athletics, well everyone around DFW knows this (or more importantly thinks this too). That makes it harder to get those kids to come here. You should start there, but that won't be as easy as you might think.
  4. If it's true that people in the AD's office refer to this as the idiot board, please ignore them. There certainly may be idiotic things said on here, but we are your most fanatical supporters. Treat us with respect and include us. I don't know what that looks like, you'll figure it out. The main thing is we all want it as much as you do, probably more
  5. In regards to this board, also please don't listen to us. We are going to be emotional. We will want the opposite of whatever you are doing until we win. If you are as talented as it seems, stick to your plan, and have us ranked in year 4 regardless of what we say, and we will build you a statue.

Feel free to add your own.

Standing ovation sir!  Littrell would be well advised to take all 5 to heart to the extreme, except maybe number 4.

Ok, Coach. If you happen to stumble upon this board to research the dynamics of UNT...

1. Recruit your ass off

2-4. Recruit your ass off 

5. Review and research everything Dan McCarney. Then...Stay with me here...Do the polar opposite at ALL times. 

 

 

 

 

 

*Everything else will take care of itself.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Student turnout is absolutely embarrassing. A Mean Green basketball game should be an absolute EVENT for the student body: even on Christmas break. Most of these kids live in DFW and would enjoy an opportunity to get away from their parents for an evening. An easy connection that has not been made here is with the Greeks. Did you see all the High Point Greek pledges wearing suits to the basketball game when we played them at their place? Why aren’t OUR Greeks competing throughout the season to show the most support for the basketball team/athletic program? The winner gets their letters displayed prominently inside the Super Pit/DATCU, gets their own commercial on the video board and Hell, Mosley should be putting up his own $$ as a cash award to incentivize this. There could be Greek basketball All-Star games at halftime or after our game to encourage attendance and get the whole community out. We gotta find a way to get consistent Greek attendance at these games. And once you have that base of students who are always there, it can turn into a snowball effect.

      N.O. Bowl: SHSU (9-3) vs Ga. Southern (8-4), 6:00pm ESPN-2....UNT's future Defense on display!

      I would imagine that against a true double tight end set or heavier formation he has the ability for that Jack to end up being an actual defensive lineman, but in today's game the need to be able to multiple based on formations, offenses etc. Jack LB's end up being the nice in between. Yeah you give up some on 3rd or 4th and short but the idea is that 1st and 2nd down you keep them in less favorable down and distances by having a more athletic guy on the field. I believe last season nationally the percentages on 3rd and 2 or less was like 68 percent conversion rate offensively. I as much as anyone want to see a defense on the field we can be proud of. Just like the HOD Bowl championship defense. The reality is though if you're living in 3rd and short as a defense you probably aren't getting very many stops.

      I hear you, but this is the AD's JOB. It is what they get paid to do to. They should have goals/objectives around these metrics and strategies/programs to achieve them. What are the goals? What are they doing to achieve them? We (the collective fan base) pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,000,000 a year in overall AD salaries, compensation and bonuses. Throw in another $4,000,000 or so annually in "overhead and administrative expenses." Fund raising, marketing and promotion is a little over $900K (total for all sports). I wonder how much is going to promote basketball to the local community?

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I agree overall. Was just thinking out loud. If I'm a P4 school and there's still scholarship limits, I'd probably rather take the high school freak athlete. Now, maybe I could give the other guy an NIL deal to pay for school as a PWO but how many of those guys would be scholarship worthy talents. Don't know why you think it's so improbable. Look at a guy like Phil Knight and Oregon. He could buy a couple pro teams if he wanted to pay 27 year olds to play ball and get bragging rights. The more we remove ourselves from college sports, I think it's reasonable to wonder if guys like him lose interest. Not saying we're there yet. Just saying it's not impossible...

      Would you support UNT Dallas becoming D1 in basketball? Not talking logistics or if it's deserved, just the move.
