What does the blog say? I can't get that link to open up.

Wave of PR priceless for UNT

North Texas has seemingly been everywhere in the last 24 hours from the front page of most of the Dallas-Fort Worth area's sports sections to leading the nightly television sports reports. The Mean Green has been a hot topic on sports talk radio as well.

Everyone seems to want to talk about Todd Dodge being UNT's new head coach.

There couldn't be better news for the school. UNT was in need of some positive publicity after a couple of down years at the end of the Darrell Dickey era.

Dodge has more than fit the bill.

There is just no underestimating what the last few days have done for the athletic department in terms of building enthusiasm, not to mention fundraising and recruiting.

Over the last few days I have heard from dozens of fans who either said they were excited about the program again or that they were coming back after several years away or that they were increasing their financial commitment to the program. There is just no way to overstate how important that enthusiasm and free publicity will be for the Mean Green.

I just don't trust that Vito guy  mad.gif . I would like a new DRC beat writer to cover UNT Athlectics from this point forward.

New Coach, New writer!

Serious or joking? If serious, why do you think so?

Once again, are you serious or joking?

There is a reason why has been nicknamed "Ditto". Sometimes you can read it here first before it hits the news papers (sometimes days later).

Why...are you Vito?

Brett Vito is a hero for UNT ahtletics. There are a handful of people that constantly contribute to the Mean Green Cause. I know he gets paid but he does put a great spin on his articles. Send him an e-mail and he will respond.

No we don't want a new writer. So I will tell you to Shut the **** up tongue.gif

with Mean Green love of course,

Well, it may look that way, but trust me, we get tons of "inside" news on this site that comes directly from him. There are certain things he can't publish, either right then or ever, and we directly benefit from that.

He's a really good guy and a hard worker. I really like his work, too.

He's definitely a nice guy, from the chance I got to meet him.  Takes a lot of abuse from here and Voy, unfortunately.

He is a friendly guy, I just wish his articles asked tougher questions or strayed from the company line sometimes.

Well, you don't speak for me so you are misquoting. and as far as your next sentence, You are not my brother nor best friend so, I would advise you not to incite me into a contentious response with that type of language. I assume you are not really seriously looking for that; from me.

Lay off Vito. He does a good job and gives us more coverage than anyone else. He's been in the unfortunate position of having to cover a team that has regressed significantly in the past couple of years. Timmy Mac did a good job but there were some others before him that were horrible. That UT grad is one that comes to mind I forget his name...

Ditto. Vito contiuned to do his job while this team was in the dumps and NO one else wanted to cover them.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
