If this team does not start hitting can't see things getting much better. Sorry to seem down on this team, but based on the preseason hype, this team is underachieving.

Also, sorry to beat a dead horse, but tired of them using Black as their primary color. We have one of the best nicknames in college athletics, and we screw up taking advantage of it, especially the softball team (reference wearing Black on Saint Patricks Day). I understand some have no problem with it, but IMO, it's BS. I Wish Jarred would "encourage" the Use of Green and White for all teams. I can understand the occasional use of other colors, but I am tired of the Black and Greys.

Got spanked. WKU sweeps the doubleheader. Offense just isn’t there right now. 

Neither was the defense or pitching in the WKU first two games.

This team is going through a major slump.

Based on how we have played against the better teams, it doesn't look good. To say the least, our team's hitting is poor. Not sure who the hitting coach is, but not getting it done. Were we overhyped or just not playing up to our potential? Fairly sure at this point we will have to win the conference tournament for any postseason hopes.

They are underachieving. Hitting has been a problem, but now pitching and fielding are becoming issues. 

I think some of the problems come from lack of consistency in our line-up.

Only change from last year has been in LF and our former starting LF'er is no longer on the roster.

There is left field but, Donohoe and Sparks also switch out on playing 3rd base. Also, DeLong has been rotating players in the DP spot too.

We've worn black all three games this week and we have lost convincingly all three games this week.

Coincidence, maybe, but the constant use of other school's colors doesn't really reflect positively on North Texas.

I do love the team though and will continue to support them. I too just wish they'd wear our school colors more often.

Getting slaughtered today wearing green. 

Something bad has or is happening to this team.

Our Mean Green is a very good team but we also play against some very good competition. And even if we don't win every game wearing our green uniforms, at least we will have proudly represented our university.

In the meantime we've seen the same poison affect our football and basketball programs. We're not immediately cured if we stop drinking hemlock for a day, and the same goes for detoxing from our black uniforms.

Our pitching might be as bad as our hitting now.

I think the most life we saw out of the team today was coach getting tossed. I don't know who the leaders are, but it's time they stepped up and lit a fire under the rest of the team before this season slips away.

      Another NIL Coaching Casualty

      Please move if needed, posting here as it's related to NIL and is probably more applicable to football than basketball. Miami basketball head coach is resigning. The following are quotes that should be of concern to any fan but especially some of your blue blood programs. What happens when you can no longer outspend your peers so your legendary coaches leave? Saban was the most name worthy retirement but there's been plenty others and here's another big name leaving. NIL will be reeled in when the big money boosters lose their favorite coaches, no longer see the wins on their records, and see they can no longer just money-whip their way to success. From the Miami Herald: “At this point, after 53 years, I just didn’t feel that I could successfully navigate this whole new world that I was dealing with because my conversations were ridiculous with an agent saying to me, `Well, you can get involved [with a prospective player] if you’re willing to go to $1.1 million, and that would be the norm.” ... “What shocked me beyond belief was after we made the Final Four just 18 months ago, the very first time I met with the players, eight of them decided they were going to put their names in the portal and leave. “I said, `Don’t you like it here?’ They’d say, `I love Miami, it’s great.’ But the opportunity to make money someplace else created a situation that you have to begin to ask yourself, as a coach, what is this all about?’’ He added that he tried “every which way” to make things work, but “last year was a disaster”, and this year was not going well, either. He felt the new players were not buying in as transfers had in years prior." https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article297597538.html

      Breaking: Cash McCollum Enters Portal

      Bringing in Poffenberger, signing Jimerson and Mestemaker returning, Cash probably realized he wasn’t going to get any playing time here soon. Best of luck to him.
