I understand it was against a FCS opponent, but the Mean Green did what a solid/bowl contending FBS should have done and dominated against Lamar. 

Things that stuck out to me from the game( Probably just a homers overreactions) . 

1) True Sophomore Mason Fine is 100% healthy and much improved. He was poised in the pocket and went through his progressions like a seasoned veteran. He also showed his leadership and toughness in game one. One play that stuck out to me. Was on a deep pass to Guyton , Fine got hit on a borderline late hit by a Lamar Defensive end. Fine jumped right back up and limped into the huddle and never missed a beat. The Lamar DE had to be helped of the field.. 

2) The offensive line still has work to do but could easily be the most improved group of all. Coach Womack and the UNT nutritionist have absolutely worked miracles this off season for the whole team but most noticeable in the Offensive line. And the fact that they didn't start one senior on the O-line says for it self they should only improve in this season and the next. 

3) The receiving core could be the best ad deepest the Mean Green has seen in a very long time. With Jalen Guyton and former Walk on Michael (The Standard) Lawrence leading the way. Not to mention Rico Bussey should be back for SMWHO. Quientin Jackson the JR from Illinois could have a break out year as well. And you also have Jaelon Darden, Greg White, Caleb Chumley and Kelvin Smith as pass catching options as well.

4) The freshman running back behind Jeffrey Wilson are the real deal!! Nick Smith from Arlington Martin showed flashes of why he was Martin High School all time leading scorers. And Evan Johnson made some key tackles on special teams to go along with 98 yards himself, which is pretty good for a true freshman in his first college game.

5) I didn't really realize how young this team was until the game started. 18 of the 22 Starters were underclassman. With 7 of those 18 being sophomores. 

6) Most importantly 1-0.

Question for you or anyone else:

Has there been any update on Riley Mayfield's request for a 6th year? When we were informed of his grad transfer I seem to remember reports that he may be eligible for an additional year. But he was introduced as a senior and listed as a senior as well. They may need to wait until the year is over, but I wasn't sure if the waiver request had actually been made and/or processed yet.

Did Greg White play yesterday? Traditionally the players who don't play in game 1 get redshirted. Especially given the type of game and with Bussey being out. Unless I missed it. It would be surprising to see him redshirted given the fall camp he reportedly had.

The UNT Sports Nutritions was on the slide line as well. He was checking on guys and making sure they had water as well. Honestly really like this move, and hope we can see or be aware of how to prevent things like cramps.

I worried about the early cramps, though.

Jackson could be a major key for us, in now having White RS (he did dress out, as did Pearson).. With us having Guyton, RICO, Smiley, and Jackson at the Outside WR spot.. with Lawrence/Darden playing the slot.. Also, Hair-Griffin had his right arm in a sling as well.

I was unable to make the game, but according to the stat box, we may need to work on 3rd down conversion %.

I don't know if some of those failed 3rd down conversions came in the last half, when we just ran forward, but it could be concerning.

      Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

      Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM. Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so. Other Series This Weekend FAU @ East Carolina Memphis @ South Florida UTSA @ Charlotte Wichita State @ Tulsa I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

      Thought I'd share some good news in this thread. Taller than Lampkin and NCAA Tournament experience.

      We’re not alone

      I read somewhere before the teams were even seeded that Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston were a step above every other team. There was some metric/stat they showed to back up the statement. So, yes, I think those teams were accurately seeded…though TT almost had something to say about it.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unt-womens-basketball-team-looking-at-nearly-complete-rebuild-after-players-head-to-portal/article_cf093cbf-6ff4-44de-a70d-4f4892172cb2.html Brett Vito is reporting in his article that Hardaway, Deck, Wooten, McGrew, and Duncan are all in the portal. He reported also that Johnson left towards the end of the season. I knew I didn't see her any longer, but I thought maybe injuries, but it turns out she left like Abou did a few years back. Brackens went into the portal and has since landed at Tarleton State. The only people he says that are coming back are Tac, who was injured all season, Chania Price, and Talley.
