North Texas Spring Football On 10Pm Ch. 8 Sports

[NT80]

At the end of the Thursday night 10pm sports segment Ch.8 had a story on UNT spring football, probably because of the last day of practice. I only saw the very end of it but they showed Thompson and Tune passing on the practice fields and interviewed Derek Thompson. I believe he was talking about Riley moving to receiver. Again, I only caught the end of the clip but it looked like some positive media for NT.

I saw the segment and was pleased that UNT was given the coverage. It was centered on the fact that Riley was no longer the QB. TD and Riley both spoke as did Thompson. All in all it was a positive story and good for UNT. I was a bit interested in why Riley was running around without his pads & helmet. Maybe that was just for that part of practice as he was the focus of the spot. Anyway, it seems to me the UNT received a bit more coverage this spring that in the past. Several of the local stations had segments as I recall or at least mentioned the Mean Green.

And that, people, is very good news indeed. Nice to see.
