We are fortunate to have someone like Johnny at the helm who seems genuinely happy and proud to be here. Fans are quick to point out that we will be here long after coaching staffs have moved on, but this is a staff who has been around as long as I have been a fan. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a staff that cares and wants to be here. Happy to have him here.

We have more potential to land some big recruits in the future. Having one Tony Mitchell is great. The thought of having other highly regarded ballers coming to play at North Texas is sweet.

Rick was crying. I've never seen him like that. I chuckled at his little speech about the academic issues when he said something along the lines of how he'd never seen another coach produce such fine men as JJ. I guess it's the basketball team that's going on to be good husbands and fathers. Then I realized it's true. I've met several basketball players on campus and at football games. They have ALWAYS been gracious and polite, even when nobody's looking.

Slightly off topic, these kids visually enjoy playing at UNT and playing for Johnny. I don't know if it's a new thing, but I love that they go high five all the students after the game.

Agree 100%. Great to see JJ get his 200th win, and I, too, hope he is coaching at UNT when he gets number 300...within the next 5 years I hope as well! He has shown the ability to do just that!

Nice job by RV, and again it was pretty emotional for him. I am sure the academic issues of Jones and Williams were pretty stressful for everyone concerned the last couple of weeks. RV's emotions are pretty close to the surface on many occasions and I, for one, love to see this...it means a lot to him and it shows. Congrats to both RV and JJ.

Also agree that it seems this team loves playing for JJ and UNT...good to see the student high fives after the games and they way these kids seem to genuinely like playing together. Good for them, good for JJ and good for UNT.

It was a great day to be Mean Green today..two nice wins today at the Super Pit!

Congrats to both the Mean green men and women...I enjoyed the day a great deal. Oh, good food from Smokehouse in the Mean green Room today between the games...that Smokehouse sausage is just great!

Also told the BB band kids thanks on the way out...they do a great job. Love having them at the games...I am sure only a few heard me over the noise, but those that did seem to appreciate it....they do a lot to help the Mean green have a home court advantage.

Fifteen away from getting #200 at NT. Also a mark to keep an eye on is the all time win number (I believe 224), which he is just 2-3 years away from.

If everyone returns, we stay healthy & Odoh is as good as advertised , I don't think 25 wins would be out of the question next year

Wouldn't he still be two years away from 224 at UNT? JJ is at 185 right now (the 200 counts his wins when he was interim coach at Memphis). Even if we get ten more wins this year, he still wouldn't get to 225 next season.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      I think you will see dramatic drop off in interest if that happens. The casual CFB fan without a passionate attachment to a particular team is a small market. College Basketball found that out the hard way. Your purely market driven model applied to the NFL 40 years ago robs the league of Carolina Panthers, Houston or Tennessee franchises, Baltimore or Cleveland franchise, the Jaguars an maybe even Green Bay (if they were poorly managed and never found Brett Farve). Hell even the New Orleans Saints would be on thin ice with hurricane Katrina without the Drew Bree and Sean Patton era. What I think is best would be about 30-40 FBS teams going back down to FCS. And I think a conference like the MAC just doesn’t belong at the FBS level. And basically any team that has jumped up to FBS after 2000 should be critically examined and forced to go back down if they haven’t met certain criteria in on the field achievement.

      I think you’re right. Morris, DT, Mercer, and Hammond.

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.
