I have noticed that the Sam's Club in Lewisville has some kind of "exclusive" contract with UNT. I have been in there three times in the last six months and each time the ONLY COLLEGE that was representin' was yes, UNT. Not bad gear, some brand called p2p or somesuch.

Why is it? No Longhorn gear. No Aggie gear. No TCU. No SMU. No Dallas Cowboys or Mavs or Rangers (a little Dallas Stars though).

Will this strategy be expanded, maybe to the Costo in Grapevine perhaps?

Is it possible, and I know this is a really big stretch, that Sam's has some semblance of a clue as to where the closest university is? Maybe they, unlike the JC Penney in Denton, are trying to market to and be loyal to the "home town" team.

I go in there from time to time and haven't seen anything. Where in the store are you finding this? (maybe Im just blinded by the TV's and elecronics section)

Everytime someplace has our gear, I buy it.

Me too but, unfortunately, every time I buy North Texas merchandise it's always the last one on the shelf. I found a nice looking UNT cap at a Walgreen's in Addison. It was the old logo but I thought it made a good statement being proudly displayed amongst the usual suspects of Texas, A & M and Tech. Then I bought the only one they had and UNT was no longer represented.

I did the same thing at an Albertson's in Carrollton. Grabbing some beer for the Memorial Day BBQ, I stumbled across a UNT bottle-sized beer coozie, this time with the new logo. I snatched it up...again leaving UNT unrepresented amongst all the NCAA merchandise.

(with my best stodgy Boston accent) Ask not why UNT dominates Sams in lewisville, ask why UNT merchendise doesnt dominate every sports apparel retailer in north dallas.

I find Sams or Wal-Mart carrying all my sized apparel for UNT in my size: "Medium" for the summer and if I want to put on additional clothing then "Large."

I have found that the sizes XL, XXL and XXXL are in very limited supply or non-existent in Sams, Wal-Mart and Target lately but after speaking to one managers he has assured me that they will be stocking up in August for the beginning of football.

For those who are wearing the XXL and XXXL sized jerseys the only place you will be "mean" green is in the sweaty & un-airconditioned johns underneath Fouts Field on game day, in September, when the temperature hits 90 degrees. Make sure you eat lots of meat during the "tail gates" so the Pony fans will leave us alone in our natural habitat. Perhaps some "hilltoppers" will get arrested in our parking lot "voiding" beside their BMWs.

For some of you try 1-800-Jenny Craig.....that way you will be able to get your hinnies into those seats at the "PIT" that were designed for the 1970 backside and not for the big V-8's that you carry around, now.

I may e-mail RV to provide complimentary cans of Lysol spray in the "johns" just like you have at home.....not unless your wife "makes" you use some sort of "foo-foo" version of amonia cover-up spray.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Student turnout is absolutely embarrassing. A Mean Green basketball game should be an absolute EVENT for the student body: even on Christmas break. Most of these kids live in DFW and would enjoy an opportunity to get away from their parents for an evening. An easy connection that has not been made here is with the Greeks. Did you see all the High Point Greek pledges wearing suits to the basketball game when we played them at their place? Why aren’t OUR Greeks competing throughout the season to show the most support for the basketball team/athletic program? The winner gets their letters displayed prominently inside the Super Pit/DATCU, gets their own commercial on the video board and Hell, Mosley should be putting up his own $$ as a cash award to incentivize this. There could be Greek basketball All-Star games at halftime or after our game to encourage attendance and get the whole community out. We gotta find a way to get consistent Greek attendance at these games. And once you have that base of students who are always there, it can turn into a snowball effect.

      N.O. Bowl: SHSU (9-3) vs Ga. Southern (8-4), 6:00pm ESPN-2....UNT's future Defense on display!

      I would imagine that against a true double tight end set or heavier formation he has the ability for that Jack to end up being an actual defensive lineman, but in today's game the need to be able to multiple based on formations, offenses etc. Jack LB's end up being the nice in between. Yeah you give up some on 3rd or 4th and short but the idea is that 1st and 2nd down you keep them in less favorable down and distances by having a more athletic guy on the field. I believe last season nationally the percentages on 3rd and 2 or less was like 68 percent conversion rate offensively. I as much as anyone want to see a defense on the field we can be proud of. Just like the HOD Bowl championship defense. The reality is though if you're living in 3rd and short as a defense you probably aren't getting very many stops.

      I hear you, but this is the AD's JOB. It is what they get paid to do to. They should have goals/objectives around these metrics and strategies/programs to achieve them. What are the goals? What are they doing to achieve them? We (the collective fan base) pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,000,000 a year in overall AD salaries, compensation and bonuses. Throw in another $4,000,000 or so annually in "overhead and administrative expenses." Fund raising, marketing and promotion is a little over $900K (total for all sports). I wonder how much is going to promote basketball to the local community?

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I agree overall. Was just thinking out loud. If I'm a P4 school and there's still scholarship limits, I'd probably rather take the high school freak athlete. Now, maybe I could give the other guy an NIL deal to pay for school as a PWO but how many of those guys would be scholarship worthy talents. Don't know why you think it's so improbable. Look at a guy like Phil Knight and Oregon. He could buy a couple pro teams if he wanted to pay 27 year olds to play ball and get bragging rights. The more we remove ourselves from college sports, I think it's reasonable to wonder if guys like him lose interest. Not saying we're there yet. Just saying it's not impossible...

      Would you support UNT Dallas becoming D1 in basketball? Not talking logistics or if it's deserved, just the move.
