It seems as though he worked his butt off for a chance to suit up for this team and was finally given his chance. And as a fan that's all I can ask for. A player who wants to give it his all to be a part of our team. Condolences to the Rake family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ch. 11 news at 10pm had a nice story about Josh. He was to suit up for the UNT game for the first time Saturday and had texted his dad about it earlier. They interviewed some fans at the SLC game tonite where they had a moment of silence for him. Some students there said they would attend the UNT game in his honor. They also interviewed Riley and Coach Dodge, both very classy and Riley said he would dedicate the game to him.

Riley really seemed to be shaken up by this. Tragic, tragic situation. The Rake family have my deepest condolences.

So sad to hear that a member of the Mean Green family has passed. I feel for his family, his friends, and the team. It is somewhat heartening to know that at least he knew he was going to get to suit up after all of his hard work. My thoughts and prayers to all who knew Josh and the entire Mean Green family. May God comfort you all.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should always try and improve our position when it comes to conference affiliation and over the last few years we have. Sunbelt....Conference USA and now the AAC. We are getting about as high as we can get without being in a P4 conference. Without the right schools the "new" PAC is not the right direction, literally (west) I for one do not want to be in the Big West 2.0. Winning games will be the best way to enhance our position. More money and exposure would be good but the PAC does not even have a media contract.

      Denton, America ???

      It's all leading up to the university's renaming. We're going to be the University of North America.

      Denton, America ???

      I've heard it since at least last season, I don't mind it. I guess it is meant to convey we are the only Denton in America (although we aren't, there's a few tiny Denton's in other states). I remember many in Riesel, the town where I graduated high school, would refer to it as "Riesel, America."
