I think Channel 8 led with us on their sportscast tonight. I came in a few seconds into Dale Hansen's sports, but he was talking about the win and showing highlights. At the very least, we were near the top of their sportscast. So kudos to Dale.

Channel 11, however, buried us. Babe Laufenberg led the sports with a story on Saturday's boxing match at Cowboys Stadium, followed by a story on the Mavericks (who did not play tonight), and then a story on UT spring football practice. That's right, a f'ing story on f'ing UT f'ing spring f'ing football f'ing practice. Then they talked about North Texas.

Didn't see what 4 or 5 did.

Channel 8 had us as the 2nd story but still good coverage

5 led the sports with the Mean Green

4 had us as the 2nd story

11 had us as the 37th story after the conteversial Paul Quinn College shuffleboard quarterfinal loss and right before the piece on paint drying at the new UT indoor beer pong practice facility.

Do local news channels put nightly sportscasts online ever? I'd like to see some of the coverage. I was busy chowin' down on a bowl of cereal and watching beerfest and forgot to watch... damn capn crunch.

Let me see what I can do.

We've got a lot of on court pictures of the celebration. At least 3 or 4 should give you great material to work with.

If I don't email you by Friday, call or email me and I'll get them to you.

Babe Laufenberg is the worst sportcaster ever, so suprised he has a job in sports.

He was the worst Dallas Cowboys player ever.....

Total douchebag, in the same category with Skip Bayless

Laufenberg is one of the classiest guys in the wide world of sports. You're way off base here.

And the sports department at CBS is run by a very hard core North Texas alum/fan. Can't speak to the content of tonight's show... But I know that the man in charge of that department hustled to get press credentials for a CBS representative at this event.

Well, that's good to know. I've never met Babe, but his on screen personality screams total douchery. Dude is super annoying to me....

      2025 DC Wish List

      Morris should not be allowed to interview for the DC position. We need to have someone who understands the defense to ask the right question. Could we ask Orr to do the interviews for us?

      Caponi fired

      Does anyone know where the locks to the gates are?

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      It usually works that way. Lose to good teams and beat bad ones. I hope you stick with the team, but if it is too much torture, be like many others and give up. As a long mostly suffering fan, over fifty years, NT is my team. I didn't go to UT or A&M and couldn't care less about them and other the perennial powers. As far as your coach record comparison, Dodge was a bargain basement hire and didn't have a chance. McCarney was the first football hc that was hired with a competitive compensation package. Unfortunately, he had serious health issues and was a failure. Littrell and Morris were upgrades but certainly not proven D1 hc winners. I have not entirely given up on Morris, although the last game was a horrible coaching job. The defensive coordinator basically was fired by his defensive players. They are either/and/or not very talented or were poorly coached. Ether way the Defensive Coordinator is responsible. NT has two very winnable games left. Two wins and a good showing in any bowl would make this year at least a limited success.

      2025 DC Wish List

      We will need to connect some dots for a potential new DC hire (assuming the interim doesn't get it). First, Caponi had no apparent Texas connections. He was a career defensive asst position coach at several schools, and lastly a CB coach at Iowa State, before being elevated to DC at UNT. He did have some DC time at a Dlll school in 2008-10, but nothing since. Was he elevated too fast? https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-caponi/731 Does Morris have a short-list already? Probably. It's not like everyone didn't know there needed to be a change in DC for some time coming. Here are some starting criteria: -The new DC "should" have previous FCS or FBS DC experience...so a repeat learning-curve doesn't happen. -Texas ties for recruiting would be bonus points. -For a quick hire, I expect it to be someone Morris is already familiar with, no interview needed, only $ negotiated. -Are 2-year contracts a thing for Coordinators in FBS? If not, One-year only please, until we establish confidence. So, with all that in mind: -Find some FCS DCs that Morris worked with somewhere else. -A DC on an FBS staff where the HC has already been fired, or soon will be, but they had a good Defense! (a new HC will bring his own staff in). -A former head coach that has been recently recycled back thru DC to try again.
