Whatever.....

Football is the most visable ahletic program we have. While I am glad that girls volleyball and soccer are doing well, I wouldn't consider this year a success for the Athletic Department. Football carries too much weight in this state and it is a shame that it is such a disapointment at North Texas.

We need to keep supporting the team. It's the only thing we can do as fans to make the situation any better.

Nice to see the report. I appreciate RV for doing these little reports from time to time. While football is definitely the "bell cow" of the program, it is also extremely important for the overall athletic program at UNT to be in good shape. And, it very much seems that it is in that "very good shape". Football, while currently "down", will be back, and I believe it will be so sooner than later.

May the Mean Green faithful hang in there as the ride to the top will be oh so very sweet.

GO MEAN GREEN! Thanks, Rick for taking the time to post the report.

Rick's a dedicated guy who wears his emotions on his sleeve. Give me an AD with that kind of attitude over a "say one thing and do another" kind of guy any day.

We already have a silent chancellor who seems to be treating UNT Denton like a salvage yard (boooo). I wouldn't invest a cent in any cause that Lee Jackson promotes right now.

I think that was an excellent job of acknowledging the 800 pound gorilla in the room without addressing it directly.

"It was the worst of times; it was the best of times". I think everyone knows whats coming without having to say it. It will be a huge offseason around here.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
