This is the most encouraging thing about retaining Coach Canales, although part of the mental lift last year when he was interim HC was him being emotional. I haven't seen that from him since last season, he seems sorta quiet this year.

No opportunities for mic'ing him up, or videos of him coaching.

All we get are clips of Canales after a day out in the heat. I wouldn't read too much into it either way.

Give Vito a break, he's not allowed in. It's hard to report on something that you're not allowed to know about.

Yes, I would LOVE more information, videos, articles, and updates. However, if keeping this stuff secret helps us surprise a few teams early on and catch them off guard (which I think is what McCarney & staff want and I think will work), then I am all about it.

Just a few more days, gentlemen. You'll see the Mean Green in full force soon enough.

GO MEAN GREEN!

OK, player parents...are you out there???? I know some player parents read this board, and since the parents ARE allowed into the scrimmages, I would guess that some were present this morning. Not asking for "state secrets" here, just some little tidbits of info for those of us who are not allowed to witness the scrimmages and practices. Some folks are "high tone" enough to get in...others, well, we beg for any info possible.

:thumbsu::lol::angel::notfair:

OK, thanks people for the -1's. It's a private joke between me and someone and that :"someone" called me "high tone" in an earlier thread. It's not a jab at anyone...it's a JOKE. You guys have no sense of humor. Thanks. Boo to whoever did this!

I'm not sure that the complaint is about Vito's coverage at all. But Vito seems to make it clear that this blog post is not his scrimmage coverage.

UNT's final scrimmage of the fall is coming up here in a couple of hours [i.e., as he writes, it hasn't even happened yet]. It's closed, but I am supposed to be able to get some material afterward for the paper and the blog.

From Vito's article on Offensive game plan...

http://www.dentonrc....0.e0af8a89.html

"UNT averaged 33.8 points in the final five games of last year after Canales took over as interim head coach. UNT averaged just 16.9 points in the seven games before Todd Dodge was fired."

This is the most encouraging thing about retaining Coach Canales, although part of the mental lift last year when he was interim HC was him being emotional. I haven't seen that from him since last season, he seems sorta quiet this year.

And yes, the last scrimmage was today at 10am. A missed opportunity to promote MGC with admittance.

I was mainly referring to spring scrimmages since I have not seen anything in the fall.

Don't many schools have closed fall practices and scrimmages ? I'm sure that coach Mac has good reasons to close practices and scrimmages to the public.

BTW, actually whether getting to watch the team practice or not had nothing to do with this thread.

Probably a good idea to hold back on the sarcastic quips until you know what the thread is really about.

Just sayin'

      Not a bad hire. Didn't mean to imply that.

      Softball Announces Schedule

      Excited for the season. We all know we just lost the most impactful senior class in softball's history this past spring, and our offense had already been regressing since that 2022 run to the Stillwater regional. I don't see fall game stats, so I have no idea who is supposed to be our power threat this year. Maybe the transfer from Tulsa? Madison Conley also hit two dingers in limited opportunities her freshman year. We seem to stay loaded at the pitcher position, but I want to see who can hit. As for the schedule, great slate. Eight power conference opponents (2 home, 2 away, 4 neutral). Baylor has invited us back to their tournament. It seems like we were always good for a Baylor victory in Waco for a few years there. And good to see at least one of UT Arlington's programs isn't afraid to schedule us... although they felt the intimidation factor @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, @bstnsportsfan3, @AleAlejandro21, @Jared, and I brought to Arlington last season and decided to schedule us for 1 p.m. on a Thursday in their own tournament. Looks like we're just gonna have to use some PTO hours. Some other travel opportunities of note, we've got a home-and-home with Tarleton. We've also got Tulsa and Wichita on the road.

      You're crazy - SMU's total spend was not even that out of line by SWC standards. The other poster saying SMU was arrogant and hated was correct, and we didn't have the aircover of local media like they do in, say, Austin. Read The Pony Trap for a good view on the size and nature of all the other SWC violations and comparison of the severity of their punishment indexed against their size and media value. So yes SMU was not totally innocent in provoking backlash but paying has been continuous from the 1930's on. Why do you think the big blue bloods hate NIL? They have the most money, they should love it shouldn't they? Their under the table pay infrastructure isn't a competitive advantage anymore especially with free transfers. Can't buy up all the talent and lock it down on their bench. We are in the LEAST money corrupted era ever because it's out in the open above the table. UNT has MORE opportunity to be competitive and get talent than it ever has before. They're out there waiting to give you their commitment. If you pick it up it's yours, if you don't I have no sympathy for you.
