This past weekend, our Mean Green Softball Ladies played against some of the best teams in the country at the Tournament in Fresno CA. Teams like #1 UCLA (defending national champs & #1 this season,) #9 Oregon State, always tough Fresno State, and others with many years of team building and development.

Our ladies took them all on with their heads up and didn't back down from anyone! Just think! This is the first softball team at NT since 1988! And there we were facing the "biggies." Coach Segal has done a wonderful job of creating a team with heart and determination. You would have been as impressed as I was.

There were some outstanding play by all our ladies. Plays like a cannon shot throw by Monica Garcia from right field that held the UCLA runner at third. The tough play near second base by Nicole Rodriguez who physically stopped a much larger runner with a tag that left no doubt about our team's attitude. Katie Maxey pitched with authority throughout in every game. These and all the other team members donated to show that we don't back down from anybody. (The UCLA coach made her players run sprints for an hour after playing us!)

If you want to see a team that with spirit and desire, go out and watch them next week locally. You'll catch the intensity and enthusiasm! You don't have to wait until next Fall to feel Mean Green Fever!!! GMG!

Is it true! Sue Enquist made her players run for an hour after the game!

Tell me more, I want more info!

How did you like the facilities in Fresno?

CAV, the facilities at Fresno State for all sports, including football, baseball and softball, are outstanding. The softball stadium is state-of-the-art! Daily attendance for the tournament ran about 2,000 daily and Sunday it ran up to 3,034. Readers can see the softball stadium on gobulldogs.com.

UCLA's players got a bit of coach Sue Enquist's rath after not blowing us away on Friday. You could watch them running and running and running! You could almost feel sorry for the players. I'll bet is was even funnier after they lost to Oregon State 3-2 on Sunday!

RG_15, you were a vocal force from the sidelines for the Mean Green Ladies. Hopefully others will realize what an enthusiastic bunch of softball players our team has and come out to support them. Thanks for the "insights" on the team.

I'm just sorry I don't live closer to Denton.

      It was a really gutty win. Flipped the script on them after halftime. After playing one of the worst halves we had under Ross as coach, we took over the game in the 2nd. Intensity ratcheted WAY up, we closed the rebounding gap, and got way more aggressive taking the ball to the basket, forcing the fouls. Impressive job by the guys from the FT line tonight. Fans in attendance got another thrilling win. Wright came up so clutch again.

      This was my 80th men's basketball game since my freshman year in 2014. Best game I've seen in person, and I was in Ruston for the big comeback against LA Tech. Overcome an 18-point lead against a bitter rival on national TV with a decent crowd. Imagine a full Pit.

      And that will end right when the current media contract with the AAC expires. You know this. National exposure... We are the least watched game when we are aired. I've seen a running average of less than 100K on several of our games. ESPN can't wait to rip this bloated contract out from underneath the AAC and delegate us to ESPN+. And 5 years? We have been .500 or better in 19 of the 25 seasons this century in basketball. That is consistently putting together a competitive product year after year after year. That will never happen in football. Ever. Given football money will soon be dried up, winning and geographic matchups for all of us peasants will soon mean everything.

      You are living in fairytale land if you think playing in another suburb would significantly increase attendance. Can anyone look up our attendance average for the season we played at old Texas Stadium? If we average more than 20k I would be shocked. The anti-UNT athletics culture of Denton, I can vouch for. But students know this program doesn’t compete at the highest level and usually lose to best known good programs that come to Denton. What is our biggest home win within the last 20 years you would expect a college age football fan to know about? When Seth’s best team crap the bed at home against La Tech(Joe Green statue dedication and etc). But by that time they had already given Seth two extensions for leading team that didn’t win conference or bowl games. 🤷🏽‍♂️
