I realize this staff had no connection to the cause of forfeiting the five schlarships due to NCAA rules, but why do we continue to have flunk outs ( Gillmore), no shows ( Horton), and players who just hang it up (Fentriss) ? It seems that we continue to have much more than our share of these which it seems could be solved by more thorough checks during the recruiting process.

Pose it in a respectable manner and I'd say why not.

Anyone planning a stadium question?

Hey guys-

Sorry if I am out of the loop (or missed a post regarding this), but what time & where is the coaches show? Didn't miss any last year, and would certainly like to be there again.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Someone keeps deleting the thread, I guess whoever is not reading them?

That is twice now.

I am sure the coaches do check out the players academic status during the recruiting process as best they can. However, the coaches and athletic academic advisors can not baby sit all 105 current players and those that have signed Letters of Intent for the next season. Regarding Gilmore and Horton, the players do have to take some personal responsibility to make sure they in good academic standing. I am not sure what the coaches could have done here in Denton to prevent Nate Jenkins in Mississippi from gaining 43 lbs from his signing day weight listed of 335 lbs to his current roster weight of 378 lbs.

I need to vent for a minute. It's nothing serious and I'll get over it.

I have regular activities two nights during the week...Monday and Wednesday. Invariably, Coach Dodge picks one or both of those nights for his special activities. I can't tape his radio shows or travel to Denton on those nights. My best bet now is a thread that highlights the questions and answers from the show or other event. So please, whoever's there start a thread about the show.

Glad to see you decided to keep you positive outlook after the cookout.

Fentriss left due to his lingering knee injury, not grade related.

Horton, well, he didn't take care of business at his JUCO, so how could the AD staff be responsible for him? I would guess that many coaches rely on the input they receive from the JUCO coaches when they are recruiting these young men.

Gilmore either struggles academically or just doesn't care about hitting the books. He did the same under DD and makes me wonder if we landed him because he was questionable academically like a few others that were highly skilled athletically but not so academically

I will second this. I have something every monday night, so if someone could do this it would be great.

I'm going to ask about the Dog Pound

Please do and ask who the hell came up with the name??

Yes, to all the a$$ kissers :D , I don't like the name. Coach Dodge is a helluva coach, I just think the name for this group flat out stinks.

      When The Portal Opens

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
