La Tech, FIU, Charlotte, UTSA and even Old Dominion have something UNT doesn't have....Baseball

historically all of our sports have been underfunded. this is in the process of change since the new student fee, but i just don't think that we can afford an expensive non revenue producing sport whose attendance will be numbered in the hundreds, not thousands.

[smoothfresh]

1. Big 12 invite - We have got to get out of Conference USA, its killing our athletics

2. A new basketball coach - Who does this guy think he is signing a former SEC conference recruit

3. Drop Tennis and Golf - just because

4. A new AD - its clear this guy has no vision for North Texas athletics

5. A new football coach - Coach Mac has probably done something wrong

Truthfully.. looking forward to baseball coming on board so I can visit campus more often and would like to see some indoor practice facilities for football and hoops

[UNTGuy5]

2. Padestrian Bridge from Fouts.

3. People to stop whining about walking.

UNT cannot afford not to have baseball.

"UNT is located in a talent hotbed for baseball and is a member of the Sun Belt Conference, which features a solid baseball league. The Sun Belt sent three teams to the NCAA tournament for the eighth time in 13 years in 2011 and has had multiple teams receive bids in 23 straight seasons.

Denton has a strong baseball community from youth leagues to the high school level. Ryan played in the state title game in 2003 and 2004 and produced Austin Jackson, who is now the Detroit Tigers’ center fielder. Fellow Ryan product Javy Guerra pitches for the Los Angeles Dodgers and several other local players have gone on to play professionally or for major colleges.

“It would be great for North Texas to get a team,” longtime Ryan coach Bret Warnack said. “This is a great baseball area with the Metroplex and the teams around here with us, Coppell, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Celina and Pilot Point. They would have a pool of players to choose from. It would be exciting for Denton.”

UNT has struggled at times to attract top athletes from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but would have an advantage in baseball because of the high number of quality players and a smaller number of Division I programs in the area.

TCU, UT-Arlington and Dallas Baptist are all prominent programs, and Big 12 schools also recruit the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

“North Texas would be able to keep players home,” Warnack said. “I don’t see that being an issue. It will take them awhile to build it, but it would be a great opportunity for North Texas and the players in the area.”

Villarreal believes that with the right facility and coaching staff in place, UNT could quickly build a solid program.

“I feel like — and have since I got here — baseball is a sport we can compete in on a national basis,” Villarreal said. “There is a tremendous amount of talent here that is going to other places that would like to play at home.”

...

UNT is hoping its plans will come together quickly and fill in what has been a down time in its sports calendar.

“Baseball will bring in large numbers of people in the spring,” Villarreal said. “With the matchups we can create, we would be able to bridge the gap — along with our softball program — to the fall and bring people to campus.”"

1. Indoor practice facility - football (this will only serve to bring in better recruits for the cash cow sport)

2. 28,000+ at all home games; 3,000+ at all away games within 5 hours (the $ that comes in from near-to-sellout crowds at Apogee would be used for all of these suggestions I'm reading; highly desirable and upwardly mobile teams travel well...)

3. Baseball

4. Basketball indoor practice facilities (addtl upgrades to the Super Pit)

5. enhance/upgrade track&field facilities

[Daddy Dumpsalot]

Why pick on SMU today? Did I miss something? Anyway, I want...

1. Fouts leveled. (We need the parking for the students who have to move their cars on gameday)

2. Mean Green Walk INSIDE that gated area between the AC and the Stadium. (Let us escort them onto the field when they are suited up and ready to play)

3. Beer at Apogee. (I'll take ANYTHING, but Bud Light if possible please)

4. Another Garage sale at the end of the season, and GMG.com members get the first hour. (that last one was greatness, and we'll need to get rid of everything displaying the SunBelt Logo)

5. Someone to teach those nitwits how to fire the freakin cannon RIGHT AFTER a score. (Firing the thing two or three minutes after the score just scares the hell out of everyone and makes us look foolish)

GMG!!!

We were in a draught last Summer, but for the Mean Green Village especially the peripheal areas of Apogee Stadium, UNT needs some award winning land-scaping with green grass all around provided by an under-ground sprinkler system. The 2 ponds near our stadium need trees around them and their shorelines surrounded by concrete picnic tables.

No can do.

The ponds were specifically designed to be the way they are. It is the ensure the designated location for the Bonfire.
