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.

      High Point looks to be a real tough (under the radar) test. We should be prepared for that.

      Why is the big white kid not playing?

      Hodge, and really McCasland before him, seem to have a lot of reluctance to playing underclassmen. the trio of Rubin, Abou and Scott all starting as sophomores is the last real example of kids getting a shot. I'd be surprised if Vice (or Cotton, or Mason) gets much run v. McNeese...they'll likely play v. TWU and get some run in that December home-stand, but unless one of them real distinguishes themselves I think the rotation is pretty well set.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      5 conference games today, the most interesting being FAU having to come right back after a 2OT loss to play 3-0 Liberty. Minnesota hosts Yale, who already gave 13 ranked Purdue a hell of a game...so their board might be in full meltdown later this evening.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      11/16...not a good night for the league...3 tough loses all by 3 points - UAB loses to High Point (UNT opponent on 12/6...they're now 4-0) 68-65. Butter Johnson showed up 21 off the bench...looks like he'd been struggling and responded with a reserve role...Lendeborg had 17-15, but UAB didn't have anyone else in double-figures. - FAU lost on a 3-pt buzzer beater to Charleston 119-116 in double OT. looks like not a lick of defense was played in this game...would've been fun to watch...both teams shot north of 50% from the floor and from three...FAU put six dudes in double figures lead by Louisville transfer Kaleb Green, but got done in by the leading scorer in the country Ante Brzovic who had 39 including the winner - Temple lost to Boston College 72-69. Temple were down as many as 14 in the first half, took a second half lead, but couldn't hang on. Jamal Mashburn Jr. looks to be a problem, but Temple doesn't seem to have much beyond him. - Memphis and USF won games they should have...Tulane lost to a 4-0 Furman.
