Please see my post and others under the topic "Unbelievable" started by UNT90....A GMG.Com "world championship" basketball game has been proposed...I am OK to try to get it together as the admin...see the post...let me know if you are interested in playing/coaching/refereeing/helping with the admin stuff.

Yes, it's open to the ladies of GMG.com too...we'll make it a co-ed team event...more fun that way when the ladies smoke the guys who think they are so very "jordan-esk". If we have enough players from both sexes we can have a men's women's co-ed event...who knows...endless possibilities, but it is up to the GMG.com folks to commit or not. Post here or on my PM site and I'll start getting a list together and let everyone know....

If you are Out of town and have a date or two in mind..let me know as it is "harder" for you to get here than those in the DFW area.

Are we on? Can we do this? Yes, we can....OK, we'll see if we can...

GO MEAN GREEN!

Geez, not any others out there interested? Even if you PMed Kram, let your interest be knownst here so others won't think they are alone.

Intrigued, but not likely to be free to do this any time soon. I also don't think my endorsement helps anything.

Depends on when it is and if i can find another excuse to come home for. I used to have a decent mid-range jumpshot, decent dribbling skills with my right hand(serviceable with the left) and hustled on defense(gotta move those feet!). I'm pretty slow, can't jump, and am slight(thus don't ask me to fight for boards - I'll get killed).

But I haven't played in years, I'd probably be pure garbage now instead of middling to decent.

My team the UNT Intramural basketball championship in 03 and 06(06 team actually won the NCAA Intramural Championship held at North Carolina without me.) It should be noted though... I was both the only white and under 6"2 guy on the team and very seldom unleashed on the court. I've gone from hiting the REC four times a week to not touching a ball in 2 years. I might should leave the J's in the closet.

interested yes, even close to being possibly half way decent at basketball.... no

Ditto. I have decent height, but I would guess that no one wants me to shoot (take my word for it). I can play some reasonable defense though.

I'm your 6'6" defensive specialist. Just don't let me put the ball on the ground. It will go off my foot. I'm interested in this, but doubt seriously I can make it. Are we looking at any particular time frame?

OK, looks like we might have enough to play a GMG.Com BB Shootout. I'll start looking into locations around campus and some dates...I will also PM folks to get a "solid" commit...some of the responses here do not really say "yea or nay", and if we are going to do this, and front the costs involved...folks need to yea or nay for sure...given unforeseen things happening later...I get that.

For the "out of towners"...any better time to do this. I am looking at perhaps a March date...you know, March Madness and all that...

PLEASE let me know. This could be a great way to have a game and then an after-game food-fest!

Who wants to coach? We will need 2 coaches who will be willing to draft players when the time comes...any takers??????

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Not being capable and not being given a legitimate opportunity are two different things. Moore never got a legitimate chance in my opinion. I don't think Taylor would have been given a legitimate chance either just like I don't believe Vice, Cotton, and Mason are being given legitimate opportunities to showcase themselves. We had a 20 point lead the entire second have against Evansville. They couldn't get in for 5-10 minutes with the members of the main rotation to see how they perform? Would be nice to know what we have if a main player goes down...

      The Band

      Before adding my thoughts, I have some questions about the band that maybe current or former band members or someone in the know can answer. 1. Who gets to be in the band? Is it an open try out or only available to students in the school of music? Is there a try out at all? 2. Do band members have to pay for (or rent) their uniforms or are they provided by the school? 3. Do they play their own personal instruments or are these provided by the school? 4. Where does any funding required for the band come from (Athletic Department, School of Music, somewhere else)? 5. Do band members receive any credits (elective or otherwise) for being in the band of it is purely voluntary? 6. What (if any) is the relationship between the Green Brigade and the pep band that plays at basketball games?

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      We are starting to cut into the deficit created by the first game compared to last year. Now only down 8.72% in terms of average attendance. Last night was the highest game 4 attendance of the last four years, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed it was only 3,292 for a "name" opponent (yes, even during Thanksgiving week). November 25 was our earliest game 4, but a much stronger opponent. The previous 3 years it was 12/4 (LSU Shreveport), 12/3 (Omaha) and 12/2 (Miss Valley State) respectively. I mentioned this during the in-game thread, but the ESPN+ broadcast sounds like the commentators are off site in a soundproof room or something. Not hearing the crowd noise and the excitement in the arena really detracts from the game experience. Need a better audio production. I switched to the radio stream and it was much better from that perspective.
