The Non-UNT Sports Board was originally devised for the GMG Community to provide more space for sports discussion in the various sports related forums. Little did we know that it would explode in terms of interest and it has now turned into one of our more popular areas, especially in the off sports season.

As many of you know, things have gotten fairly heated in here at times throughout the past couple of months. I want to ask everyone to relax, take a step back and remember that we are here because we support UNT and the Mean Green. I have seen good Mean Green fans who have been friends on GMG.com for years become enemies because of bickering over political differences which were exposed on the Non UNT News Board and that concerns me. We can disagree on certain topics, but we can also be tolerant of our Mean Green brothers who have different political views and experiences. I am going to be watching this board closely over the next couple of weeks and I am hoping that everyone will support me in making this a kinder and gentler place to discuss everything under the sun. If it doesn't improve I will take steps to fix it or just remove the board all together.

PS, if you are trying to discuss an issue like for instance global warming or healthcare that is fine, just post the article and/or your thoughts. Please refrain from posting multiple articles that you have little interest or knowledge of but just support a particular political agenda. We have enough challenges to get this University and Athletic programs where they deserve to be. Let's be respectful of others differences and not create new divisions within our ranks. GMG!

Too many complete sentences, extended arguments, and coherent points. Harry, could you please reduce this to a couple dependent clauses, unorthodox capitalizations and alarmist bolding of political code words so we can tell whether you're a libr'l or conservithug and automatically love or hate the fact you posted it, regardless of what the point actually was?

j/k obviously. Well said.

I'd start a slow clap, but apparently you're already getting an ovation.

The ovation just keeps getting louder. Hey folks, speaking of audio volume, think of this: in her "CEO" interview on Channel 13, President Bataille mentioned that one thing the new stadium is designed for is keeping the sound inside. To me, that shows that real concerns are being addressed.

Should have been said....

Since football season is almost upon us, we need to look past petty differences. We need to be united in supporting athletics at our university, we all know we have many enemies around us,

Would appreciate it if all strictly political avatars disappear. Please, no campaign avatars.

      Yeah, take that all out, and he'll still probably make triple the next two years what I'll make my entire life.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I love bowl week and we finally got a great game in Boise. What a fun year for NIU. A win over Notre Dame and double overtime win to end the year. They showed some stones on those 2 drives in overtime. Love their style of play. Wish they were a slightly better fit for the American. They are Midwest hearty at our level. A solid G5. I’ve teetered back and forth about our game, swinging from we’ll get blown out with no Morris, to let’s do this. Get this bowl win in January 2025. My hope comes from our battle testing. We played some solid teams and played them fair to well. Army was strong when we got them, Tulane was legit until the end, San Antonio got hot when we got them, same with ECU. Memphis was Memphis. We beat the SBC and MWC. I don’t know. The SBC seems a bit shakier in ‘24 and we were grilled all season. We may be just as good as TSU and surprise. Viva the American. GMG

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Especially when (and yes I keep harping on this same thing) the whole thing started because players were initially claiming they should have a share of the revenues generated from the use of their N.I.L. in broadcasts and video games. It's interesting that the ONLY share they've gotten from those is the $600 EA Sports money and NO TV revenue. Regarding "trickle down", that's gonna' be hard to do when most schools are LOSING money on FB. https://www.on3.com/nil/news/what-is-nil-everything-you-need-to-know-about-this-major-change-in-college-athletics/ You're right about the chaos and I'm all for MORE of it in order finally force some kind of sanity to this whole thing.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I couldn't tell you what Bowl most of the P2s played in last year either. Didn't care, still don't. The whole Bowl era is outdated. They should just scrape it and go to a larger playoff of 32 teams.
