If so, an observation...

As much as I encouraged my kids to take part, I wasn't on board during the Dodge years.

A frowning, stoic coach in sunglasses led a group of 4 or 5, holding hands, none smiling and none interacting.

Followed by a bunch of seemingly uncomfortable players that just didn't appear to want to participate.

The band appeared to be having more fun, for goodness sake.

Contrast that with the walk at UL. Police cars blaring sirens to announce the team's appearance. Fans lined up for better than 1/4 mile. Players high-fiving fans all the way into the stadium, smiles on the faces of players and fans.

Almost appeared mutual: fans thanking the players for giving them their best. Players thanking fans for coming out to see them.

Advice to he who coordinates the pre-game spirit walk:

We, players and fans, are on the same team. Your success is our success. Together, we are better.

"Help me help you."

This is not an anti-previous administration rant....that is too easy.

I pretty much tend to support he who has the job, and he who hired said jobholder (debating whether that is right or wrong is reasonable).

The point is to connect.

And this Coach gets that.

Chuck Beck got it started back in the bowl era and I think he still organizes it. He is the fan with the Mean Green Mad Hatter hat and the green cape.He also usually has a bullhorn

      Painful loss…

      This loss was not painful, Lonnie...it didn't hurt anything at all. Just showed that the guys will fight back to the end. Literally, nothing changed from losing this close one.

      Painful loss…

      With as poorly as we played, we fought back in the second half and had a chance to pull off a major comeback win. Kudos to the players and coaches for making Fisher and the crowd sweat this one out. I kinda felt this one coming, but as the second half went on, I also thought this was going to be such a North Texas way to win a basketball game. Just didn't work out for us. Regroup and lock-in for the real prize.

      Women’s Hoops Begins AAC Tournament Monday Night Against ECU

      DENTON, Texas — The UNT women’s basketball team will kick off its postseason run against East Carolina Monday night in the quarterfinals at the American Athletic Conference Championship. The second-seeded Mean Green and No. 7 Pirates will meet for the second time this season with tip-off set for 6 p.m. CT at Dickies Arena. The teams have met twice in the last two seasons with both contests going into multiple overtimes and resulting in UNT victories. North Texas won in Denton, 93-91, in four overtimes on Feb. 27, 2024, in what was the longest game in program history. This season, the Mean Green took a return trip to Greenville where they used a second-half comeback to send the game into overtime. Jaaucklyn Moore’s game-tying 3-pointer in the first overtime eventually led to a 73-71 victory after Jaelyn Talley made a go-ahead layup in double overtime. The Mean Green will look to avenge last season’s early exit at the conference tournament when they fell to Rice, 61-59, in the quarterfinals. For the second straight year, UNT enters as the No. 2 seed following a 23-7 regular season. This year’s team put together a 15-3 mark in league play, marking the most conference wins in program history. East Carolina will play for a second straight day after defeating No. 10 Memphis, 64-45, Sunday afternoon. First Team All-AAC selection Amiya Joyner led the Pirates with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Monday’s game will be streamed on ESPN+ and can be heard on the Varsity Network App with Zac Babb on the call. WHAT 2 WATCH 4 • UNT will begin its postseason against East Carolina on Monday night in the quarterfinals of the AAC Championship. • UNT's 23 wins this season is tied for the most in program history with last season's squad. • North Texas earned the No. 2 seed and a double bye to the quarterfinals at the AAC Tournament for a second consecutive season. • Tommisha Lampkin, Desiree Wooten and Aniyah Johnson represented UNT on the conference's postseason awards. POSTSEASON AWARDS • Tommisha Lampkin became the first UNT player to earn First Team all-conference honors since Terriell Bradley in 2017-18. • Lampkin was a unanimous selection to the All-AAC First Team by the league's coaches after leading the conference in double doubles, rebounding and FG%. She was the lone player in the conference to average a double double on the season. • Desiree Wooten earned the first all-conference honors of her career being named to the All-AAC Second Team and the All-AAC Defensive Team. The sophomore guard averaged 11.3 points per game, while ranking No. 3 in The American with 50 steals. • Aniyah Johnson joined Wooten on the league's All-Defensive Team in her senior year. She collected 176 rebounds on the season and was fourth in the AAC with 24 blocks during conference play. A WIN WOULD... • Make UNT 24-7 on the year, setting a program record for wins in a season • Advance the Mean Green to the semifinals of the AAC Championship
