I would like to thank everyone for this forum to talk about UNT sports!

I am a UNT alumni and got interested in UNT athletics when my youngest son started playing sports.  Neither of my sons will watch games on TV so we started making it out to games.  Basketball games are way more accessible than football so it has turned out to be an excellent family activity.  They are both kinda shy, but when they bring their friends or cousins to the game they get loud!

I am addicted now and have found there is no one out there that I can talk Mean Green Basketball with!  No one cares!  Baylor, Tech, A&M, UT or even TCU on the other hand?  I don't really care about them. 😂

So I sincerely that you all!!! GMG

Hopefully one day they are leaders of the Maniacs!

We got home from a La Tech game with 9000 people and my youngest said, "Dad, I think I want to play basketball.". 😂

I did have a ulterior motive of leaning them towards UNT over Texas Tech, but more to get them excited about college in general.

So that would be awesome.

This is awesome! It's always good to welcome another green blood to the family! My brother went to Texas Tech, so I do still follow them, but NT is what drives me!

Also, I am the same way. I used to be really into football, but most of my teams just don't make it exciting anymore. That, and actually playing pick up basketball, I can understand the little things in the game.

Definitely a basketball guy.

It takes so long to get in and out of football games!  But I can decide today to go to a basketball game and head to the pit.  And for much less money.  

I knew very little about basketball, until we started this journey.  Besides NBA Jams.😂

Now I definitely prefer it over football.  30 seconds is too long to hunt a good shot(not for me), the games are only 2 hours, the coaches call plays but the players are in control most of the game, and watching everything fall into place for a successful trip down the court is awesome.  Even the timeouts are better.

My youngest prefers the basketball games as well. Football games are a day long commitment now between tailgating and the game. The big turnoff to my son with football is the down time for commercial breaks. They have got to do something about that. Incorporate “play through” commercials like soccer and other sports would be a start, but the breaks kill momentum and crowd energy.

My youngest likes Basketball because it's inside. 🤣

Where does everyone find content/analysis?  I am not a gambler, but found The College Basketball Experience on YouTube and have started watching that every year.   One of the hosts is an ECU fan, but at least it is AAC.  😂They watch all the games in D1 and cover them for gambling purposes, but still.  I can't find any other videos that will even mention UNT even after big wins.

I would really like to know if there are any other places to see analysis of games.

We have a couple of good analysts for FB that post videos and/or discussions after most games.

I don't think I've seen anything similar for BBall.
