Not good! Wren should have fired SL at the end of the season.

This is just awesome.

The exact outcome everyone who was defending Littrell fearmongered around here (if we fire Littrell after winning 5 straight, we’ll lose all our best players to the portal!) came to pass anyway!

I bet this isn’t the end either.

I am done with UNT football,  This what life is going to be like when the p-5 are paying for players.   So we lost our best OL and DE who made a big difference for us.

I kinda feel this way too. Why get invested in these guys?

I think SL better be Dusting off his resume, he losing to much and getting back nothing.  I don't think we hit six next year.  You start to wonder who will want to be a coach below the G-5 level.

I think maybe the also rans should no longer have all conference teams, makes it to easy for the P-5 schools.

Saw this coming yesterday

The twins are another example why I believe more and more G5 coaches will stop, or at least greatly reduce recruiting HS players. Why spend the time and resources to develop players.

PS - For those who get upset when fans badmouth player - There is no loyalty in most college sports anymore so players should be fair game

Exactly. Murphy brother's dad tweets that the coaches are doing nothing to add good players and they shortly enter the portal. We aren't the only ones that see and find it unacceptable that they haven't done anything to recruit good players. I personally am not surprised players don't believe in Littrell anymore. He should have been fired this past off-season.

What are we asking them to invest in??

I mean, I buy season tickets, bring my family to the games, donate to the MGSF, read everything I can about the team, etc.. 

I’m not a Lovelace, but I feel like I do my part to give the players something to invest in. 

And I do it because I fall in love with watching guys like Mason Fine, Jeffrey Wilson & Zach Orr grow and compete and represent my school. 

If the guys like that are just going to transfer as soon as they can, it is not really fun anymore and maybe I should reevaluate how I spend my time and resources. 

That sucks, but it really is how I feel right now.

I wonder if we are headed to time with the new recruits will be asked to sign a contract to play at schools.  IF you leave you have to repay your scholarship that you have used.   Not sure what the also rans can do to protect themselves.   I wonder if something is going on inside the program to make everyone start jumping.

UTSA and SMU don't seem to have this issue.  These kids see a sinking ship, they don't need to be locked into a bad situation

      North Texas Women vs Tulsa women

      I didn't watch much of the game, but when you find yourself down as much as 17, can all the blame be put on the refs?

      Forgive Me Mean Green Fans

      I wouldn't call Cam Skattebo part of the problem. He left an FCS school after two seasons and joined Arizona State when Kenny Dillingham became the coach. Even though ASU went 3-9 that year Skattebo was adamant about staying for this season because he believed in what they were building. Now he's Nick Saban's "favorite player" (as he said on GameDay), he single-handedly made the 12-team playoff not suck for four epic quarters and overtime, and he's a senior with no more eligibility looking like a second-day NFL draft pick.

      Moore Leads UNT to New Year’s Day Victory Over Tulsa

      DENTON, Texas – A season-high 24 points from Jaaucklyn Moore led the UNT women’s basketball team to an 84-78 victory over Tulsa inside The Super Pit on Wednesday. With Kyla Deck unavailable for the game, Moore made her first start since UNT’s win over Northwestern State on Nov. 20. The senior guard delivered by tying her career high at North Texas, matching her 24-point performance against Grambling State last season when she surpassed 1,000 career points. “Jaaucklyn Moore came in and started the game and was huge today,” head coach Jason Burton said. “It starts with what she did offensively, but she had to guard Delanie Crawford in the second half with Desiree Wooten in foul trouble. It was a tremendous game from her with how she played on both sides of the ball.” Moore was an integral part of the Mean Green taking an early lead in the first quarter and never giving it up. North Texas scored the first 12 points of the game, holding Tulsa scoreless for the first 6:04 of the game. However, the Golden Hurricane offense came to life in the second quarter, putting together a 13-2 run behind a pair of 3-pointers from Elise Hill and another one from Crawford. After UNT took a 38-32 lead into halftime, the Mean Green outscored Tulsa 26-16 in the third quarter sparked by a pair of big runs in the period. As the teams traded buckets in a fast-paced game, UNT was able to extend its lead to 16 points early in the fourth quarter and hold on late to improve to 10-4 this season and 2-0 in conference play. North Texas received valuable minutes and performances from several pieces Wednesday, including 18 points from Tommisha Lampkin. Ereauna Hardaway added 13 points and six rebounds, while Aniyah Johnson neared a double double with nine points and seven boards. Despite Crawford leading Tulsa with 22 points, the Mean Green made it tough on the Preseason All-AAC First Team selection, holding her to 9-of-20 overall 2-of-8 from 3-point range. Hill also scored 22 points for the Golden Hurricane with six 3-pointers on the day. North Texas will look to remain unbeaten in the American Athletic Conference when it travels to Memphis on Saturday for a 2 p.m. tip off.

      UNT TEXAS STATE 2025 FIRST RESPONDER BOWL TAILGATING

      Apparently there will be no onsite alcohol purchase option at the tailgate: Mean Green Tailgate Update We’re reaching out with an update about the official UNT Alumni & UNT Athletics Bowl Tailgate at the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl.

If you’d like to upgrade your experience, you can purchase a $20 drink package that includes 3 drink tickets by clicking here. This will be the only option for alcoholic beverages at the event. Additionally, we’re excited to offer a Revolver Beer Tasting during the tailgate, giving you the chance to enjoy some locally crafted flavors. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available for your enjoyment. Thank you for your understanding as we adapt to these changes. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the Mean Green Scholarship Fund at mgsf@unt.edu. We look forward to celebrating with you at the tailgate—Go Mean Green!
