The DMN heard our complaints about forgetting our game last week and is making it up to us by putting a story about Robert Allen on the cover of SportsDay. Not very often we make the first page. In fact, I read the paper every day and can’t remember the last time.

This is why I love Mark Followill. I know it's not the DMN but he is the play-by-play announcer of the Dallas Mavericks and loves his Mean Green.

Also several of The Fan radio guys give regular shootouts to the Mean Green since many attended North Texas. Any media attention is great to get.

Followill is the best, and I'm convinced he never takes a day off. It seems he is always at The Pit for a game if the Mavs are on a homestand and not playing that night.

He also tweeted out the UNT MBB team at the Mavs game a few days ago.

Yup it sure does seem that way. He's a great fan.

DMN and Vito are still both awful.  For the size school UNT is and with the number of alumni (readers) in the DFW area, fans shouldn't have to beg for decent coverage.

There are a lot of big schools in, or near, major cities that don't get decent press coverage because the schools in more established leagues get it all.  CSUN is a similar size as us, at least with undergrads, and their press coverage is way less than NT, trust me.  Same with schools like Fullerton (they don't get covered until the college baseball playoffs start IF they're in it). 

 

This is the first year we've actually been in a league with SMU, and it's only a one year thing.  It sucks, but that explains a lot of this.

Oh, I know. I didn’t want to shoot the messenger, you, with a down vote, so I wrote my displeasure with this.  We just have to keep winning and force them to pay attention.

It's not about size of the school or how many people graduated in the area. It's about how many people/readers care. And that number is much smaller than the other two.

Here we go with the size doesn’t matter strawman argument.  My ex-wife had told me that too until 10+ years later and we got drunk and she said all girls tell guys that but they don’t really believe it to be true.  Same thing for your analogy, and taking tradition and conference affiliations out, if a school has more alums there is a better chance you will resonate with more of them.  It’s simple math really.

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      We are starting to cut into the deficit created by the first game compared to last year. Now only down 8.72% in terms of average attendance. Last night was the highest game 4 attendance of the last four years, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed it was only 3,292 for a "name" opponent (yes, even during Thanksgiving week). November 25 was our earliest game 4, but a much stronger opponent. The previous 3 years it was 12/4 (LSU Shreveport), 12/3 (Omaha) and 12/2 (Miss Valley State) respectively. I mentioned this during the in-game thread, but the ESPN+ broadcast sounds like the commentators are off site in a soundproof room or something. Not hearing the crowd noise and the excitement in the arena really detracts from the game experience. Need a better audio production. I switched to the radio stream and it was much better from that perspective.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      Oh I agree with the philosophy in general, just not how it's being executed currently. baring quick foul trouble or a dumb mistake, I'd prefer to not make any changes until at least the first 4 min timeout. let your starters find some kind of rhythm in the game. I've noted numerous times already this season of a player knocking down a shot or two and/or making a few key plays and then getting sat...Jossell in the McNeese loss leaps to mind, I know its happened to Dello a few times as well. I'm gonna assume Hodge's rationale is that at least the first few subs are scripted and he's asking so much of his team on the defensive end that he wants to keep a sharper rotation, but it feels a little extreme to me right now and not always in tune with the flow of the game/a player's night we're not quite approach Benford-esque line-changes (though maybe only b/c Hodge doesn't have ten players he trusts), but it's bugging me just as much
