Sadly this is the turnout from current Talons I expected.  It is less an organization about shool spirit and more an organization about... social get togethers... than anything else these days.

That's what it was about when I was there 20 years ago. Hey, if it keeps the kids off the streets... wink.gif

Sadly this is the turnout from current Talons I expected.

First off, there are only two current Talons on the board. Two. If the two of us posted here instead of one of us SENDING HIM A PM, would that have satisfied you?

Talons Website

You might try here instead of GMG.com huh.gif

Obviously that would be the proper way to get in touch with the Talons leadership than posting here. It's the same thing I say in every one of this board's threads that calls us out. You have a problem, question, suggestion, request for assistance, please talk to those in charge.

not trying to be another talon hater....but these guys have a point...for basketball it took a group of people to make the talons look pretty pathetic for the numbers to go up...

Say I am bias if you want to but i heard it from the mouth of a prminent talon that the Pit Crew made them look stupid and they started a "friendly' rivalry with us....

I know the pit crew has dwindled and all and talk that up if you want....but when we were strong and had the money to do stuff....you couldnt touch us!

I beg the talons to do something big this year...i dont mean that in a bad way...The basketball team needs love...give it to them

You know...all that ruckus was:

1.) Totally uncalled for. There's only two of us on this board, and like I told marcmoffit in the PM, most of us aren't really the messageboard types/computer geeks. I sent marcmoffit a PM about this not too long after he posted, and before some of you decided to take it upon yourselves to open your mouths...before asking to see if he'd received any responses. In that PM was a statement about how only two actives are on this board, a link to the website, and the email of our current president. Besides, it's another sign that those of you getting all riled up seem to be doing it just for the sake of getting riled up. And all this before even asking if he'd gotten a PM about it.

It sounds alot like when someone asked about the T-shirt exchange table (known as Greenout right now), and then everyone assumed this was no longer being run when in fact, it'd been going since I joined in early 2003.

2.) A pretty big waste of time. There's really no point to picking fights like this.

For marcmoffit:

As for the Wings- they're the white dress-shirt guys. It couldn't hurt to get them involved in your big plan. Someone here already knows some of them, so there's your way in. Shoot Tanya an email, give her your plan and she'll let you know who to

get with for it.

And sorry for getting you in the middle of this.

Mean Gren Buzz...lets talk to these guys and see what we can come up with.

Thanks for everyones help smile.gif

      Softball Announces Schedule

      Excited for the season. We all know we just lost the most impactful senior class in softball's history this past spring, and our offense had already been regressing since that 2022 run to the Stillwater regional. I don't see fall game stats, so I have no idea who is supposed to be our power threat this year. Maybe the transfer from Tulsa? Madison Conley also hit two dingers in limited opportunities her freshman year. We seem to stay loaded at the pitcher position, but I want to see who can hit. As for the schedule, great slate. Eight power conference opponents (2 home, 2 away, 4 neutral). Baylor has invited us back to their tournament. It seems like we were always good for a Baylor victory in Waco for a few years there. And good to see at least one of UT Arlington's programs isn't afraid to schedule us... although they felt the intimidation factor @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, @bstnsportsfan3, @AleAlejandro21, @Jared, and I brought to Arlington last season and decided to schedule us for 1 p.m. on a Thursday in their own tournament. Looks like we're just gonna have to use some PTO hours. Some other travel opportunities of note, we've got a home-and-home with Tarleton. We've also got Tulsa and Wichita on the road.

      You're crazy - SMU's total spend was not even that out of line by SWC standards. The other poster saying SMU was arrogant and hated was correct, and we didn't have the aircover of local media like they do in, say, Austin. Read The Pony Trap for a good view on the size and nature of all the other SWC violations and comparison of the severity of their punishment indexed against their size and media value. So yes SMU was not totally innocent in provoking backlash but paying has been continuous from the 1930's on. Why do you think the big blue bloods hate NIL? They have the most money, they should love it shouldn't they? Their under the table pay infrastructure isn't a competitive advantage anymore especially with free transfers. Can't buy up all the talent and lock it down on their bench. We are in the LEAST money corrupted era ever because it's out in the open above the table. UNT has MORE opportunity to be competitive and get talent than it ever has before. They're out there waiting to give you their commitment. If you pick it up it's yours, if you don't I have no sympathy for you.
