I am a Senior at North Texas and me and my "fraternity" brothers have been going to games since our freshman year. Not just home games but we have traveled to Clemson, bama, Lsu, and K state. It is so immature how so many of the alumni on here always want to call frat people out for the weak home crowds. That game tonight was so much fun for me and my friends and when I come on here to see how all of the mean green fans are celebrating you seem more obsessed over the crowd and the frat daddies who stayed out and tailgated. Do I ever come on here and blame the GDIs for not coming? No because it does nothing for our School. And I understand people who didn't rush a fraternity aren't defined by that and it goes the same way with rushing a fraternity. I have seen more greeks at away games than any other students combined so please stop. I get you hate SMU and so do I but you dont have to hate greeks here too.

GMG GMG GMG GMG Thats all that matters

Nothing makes me hate frats more than being told not to hate frats.

Paranoid much?

Always calling out the frat people? I haven't seen any of that on here this season. Everything I've read on here talks about the huge student crowds and lackluster alumni attendance.

As a greek alum, I would suggest grow some thick skin. The reputation that the greek organizations used to carry with them regarding football attendance is pretty bad. Has it improved? Absolutely. Is it still where it needs to be? No. Because we're not packing the house. Same fight I had when I was at school many, many years ago. Until every single greek, regardless of IFC, PHC, other affiliation is there, I will chastise them, as well as the math society, students for albino squirrels and whatever organizations are out there not supporting the school.

All I have seen on this website all year is how the students have been great for attendance. Last nights game, just like every other game this year, we needed more alums to attend.

Kudos to every student (frat or not) & alum that supports UNT. May albino squirrels crap on every student (frat or not) & alum that fails to support UNT.

Since you brought the Greek subject up, there was a sorority last night, don't remember which one, who wore freaking MAROON shirts. If you're coming to the football game, get some green shirts. Makes them look like they were forced to be there. I wasn't going to bring it up until this thread got started.

Props to the Zeta girls for working their pink theme while still wearing green.

I saw them too. My wife asked me why they weren't wearing green. Ugh

While the Maroon doesnt necessarily look good in front of a national audience, I think they wore it in support of one of their sisters whose dad, 2 brothers and uncle were killed 2 weeks ago.

I saw the maroon girls also. I wondered why they hadn't chosen green as well.

As to the fraternity topic, most independents don't have 8 foot letters telling the world they are independents. When we sit on the press box side of Apogee, and see some Greek letters 8 feet high, and a bunch of boys standing around them, I assume they are in a fraternity.

If one's actions may cause them embarrassment, don't advertise the organization's name. Simple.

If so, then my apologies for calling them out.

I believe you are correct. They were handing out maroon ribbons as well.

You are correct, it was for the Ledet family. One of the Ledet girls is student here and member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. They wore maroon because TAMU was a big part of their life and there has been a large group promoting maroon in honor of the 4 family members lost in the recent plane crash. Although its not green it was for a very cause and I was glad to see so many people sporting the ribbons being handed out.

Ummmm no disrespect intended to that family but I just can't see how it is logical to have an entire sorority wear the colors of Texas A&M at a UNT FOOTBALL GAME just because TAMU is a big part of the family's life. While I am sympathetic to the family and their horrendous loss..... wearing A&M colors to a UNT game in masse is boneheaded.

Dunno man, I'll be sure to ask those boneheads what the hell they were thinking next time I see them?

Not to be rude but there's more to life then just UNT football... One of there sisters lost there dad, uncle and two younger brothers who where 17 and 13 I think... If you can wear pink shirts for breast cancer, you can wear a maroon shirt to support a family and a sister

Yep. There sure is more to life than UNT football.

And there are 360 days on the calendar that aren't NT home games, 364 that aren't nationally televised NT home games. Plenty of time to wear maroon.

Ok cool. That makes much more sense. Maybe at the next nationally televised game...every Greek club can wear a different color representing their choice of memorial groups and charities? I think that would look awesome

Wine (which is essentially maroon) is one of the colors of Pi Beta Phi. Couple that with the family's TAMU connections and the color was a nice way to show support and stand out in the crowd for their sister.

A greek friend of mine told me him and his brothers left the game in the first quarter and watched the rest at their frat house. This is why there are "greek haters" out there. Not all of them act this way but I feel like most do.

Agreed. Not sure what the current Greek pop. is on campus but it's thousands of kids....all walks of life, all tastes, convictions, etc are well represented. They're very visible organizations and easy to criticize...but that's just it, at least they're visible. Even if they leave early, at least they're showing up. Winning will keep them in the seats. Not all kids have the unrelenting passion those of us have...think of them as swing states, they're the ones you wanna convince. It's no secret that Greeks have some embarrassing reputations, and many are well deserved. But many Greeks have also been some of the best travelers and supporters I've seen since I was on campus. They do a ton of good in the community too btw.

      What makes you say that? Maybe he realized he doesn’t have a career past college and is cashing in as best possible. I don’t like it but I can see many kids doing this.

      Coach Danny Bio

      Record at Cleveland State: 42-29 (2 seasons) Record as a Head Coach: 42-29 (2 season) Daniyal Robinson was named as the 17th head coach of Cleveland State men's basketball on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. "After a very thorough national search for our next head coach, I am pleased to have Daniyal, his wife Kim and their three children Devyn, Reece and Reid, join our team," shared former CSU Athletic Director Scott Garrett. "Daniyal's vision for CSU basketball fully aligns with our foundation of championship success in the classroom, in the community and on the court. We look forward to fully supporting Coach Robinson's success and to continuing our accelerating momentum under his leadership." "Daniyal Robinson's core values and lifelong commitment to developing student-athletes both on and off the court embody what we are all about at CSU," former Cleveland State President Harlan Sands added. "He is the right leader at the right time for us, and both Scott Garrett and I look forward to working with him on further advancing the upward trajectory of our men's basketball program." In his first year at the helm, Robinson led the Vikings to a 21-14 overall record and a 14-6 mark in conference play. The Vikings finished third in the Horizon League standings and recorded a third consecutive season of 20 wins or more. Cleveland State made a run to the Horizon League Touranment Championship Game and finished as the runnner-up. The Vikings reached the postseason for the third consecutive season, earning a spot in the College Basketball Invitational for the first time in school history. Cleveland State experienced success on the defensive end of the floor in Robinson's inaugurual season. The Vikings finished in the top five in every major defensive statistical category in Horizon League games. Cleveland State held opponents to just over 70 points per game in conference play, good for third-best in the league. Robinson mentored three all-league performers in his first season, with Tristan Enaruna earning first-team honors. Enaruna averaged 17.4 points per game in conference play and finished fourth in the league shooting 54 percent from the floor. In addition, Deshon Parker and Deante Johnson were both named to the league's all-defensive team. Cleveland State was the only school with multiple players named to the all-defensive team, and Johnson earned a spot for a third consecutive season. Robinson continued that success in his second year in charge of the program, leading Cleveland State to a second consecutive season of 20 wins or more as the Vikings finished 21-15 overall in 2023-24. Robinson became the first head coach in Cleveland State history to win 20 or more games in his first two seasons, and it marked a third consecutive year of 20 or more victories for the program overall. Cleveland State finished 11-9 in Horizon League play and made the program's fourth consecutive appearance in the semifinal round of the league tournament in Indianapolis. Cleveland State appeared in the College Basketball Invitational for a second year in a row, securing a program record fourth consecutive postseason appearance. Tristan Enaruna continued his outstanding play in his final season at CSU, earning first-team all-league honors for the second year in a row. Enaruna ranked in the top 10 in an array of statistical categories and signed a free agent contract with the NBA's Boston Celtics to continue his basketball career at the professional level. Robinson joined the Vikings as a veteran of the coaching ranks with over 21 years of experience at the NCAA Division I level and multiple trips to the NCAA tournament, including a run with Iowa State to this year's Sweet Sixteen. "My family and I are very excited about this opportunity here at Cleveland State," Robinson said. "When I met with President Sands and Scott, I knew that this was the place that we wanted to be. The shared values that President Sands and Scott have, the program where it is at, they have done it together the last three years and our goal here is to continue to build on the success that CSU has had and the foundation that was set. We want to build our young men on and off the court. We are very excited for the opportunity. Go Vikes!" Respected as one of the nation's top assistant coaches, Robinson concluded his second stint at Iowa State where he has seen the Cyclones win two Big 12 Tournaments and advance to the NCAA Tournament four times, which includes runs to the Sweet 16 in 2016 and 2021. Over his two stops with the Cyclones, Robinson has helped coach 12 student-athletes to the NBA, a list that includes lottery pick Tyrese Haliburton in 2020 and 2019 second-rounder and NBA Champion Talen Horton-Tucker. The Cyclones have spent much of his tenure nationally ranked, reaching as high as No. 4 in the country, and finishing inside the top-25 three times, which includes a rank of No. 23 in the nation to close the 2021-22 campaign. Robinson returned to Iowa State for the 2015-16 year after two seasons at Loyola (Chicago). There he helped lead the Ramblers to 24 wins and the College Basketball Invitational title in 2014-15. During his first stint at Iowa State, Robinson was a key part in the development of three future NBA players, which includes Craig Brackins, an All-American student-athlete and the No. 21 pick in the 2010 NBA draft, Diante Garrett and Justin Hamilton. Robinson, a Rock Island, Illinois native also had coaching stops at Houston, Illinois State and his alma mater, Arkansas-Little Rock. Off the court, Robinson founded and currently chairs the Black Assistant Coaches Alliance (BACA) and he started the Ramblers for Education program, which linked Loyola student-athletes and the Chicago community. He also served on the Iowa State athletic department's Cultural Humility Committee, a group of employees that participates in educational trainings with a goal of achieving cultural humility within the department. Robinson was a student-athlete at Indian Hills Community College before transferring to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He was a Second Team All-Region honoree at Indian Hills, where he helped lead the Warriors to a 35-4 record during the 1995-96 season. Indian Hills finished the regular-season ranked as the No. 1 team in the NJCAA poll that year and advanced to the national championship tournament. He graduated from Arkansas-Little Rock in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in health education. Robinson is joined in Cleveland by his wife Kim and three children – Devyn, Reece and Reid. Devyn is currently a standout on the Wisconsin women's volleyball team. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT HEAD COACH DANIYAL ROBINSON: PORTER MOSER – HEAD COACH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA "Daniyal Robinson was with me from the beginning of my head coaching career and helped me build three different programs. He was integral in setting the foundation and building a championship program at Loyola. Daniyal is a hard-working, high-character, energetic coach who has an amazing impact on developing young men. He has an unbelievable gift in bringing people together on and off the court. He has the ability to combine love, trust and accountability as well as anyone that I have ever seen in this profession. Cleveland State is not only getting a great head basketball coach, but they are getting a great person, a great family man and an unbelievable family in the Robinsons." CRAIG ROBINSON – PRESIDENT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BASKETBALL COACHES "I couldn't be happier for both Daniyal and Cleveland St. The Vikings are getting an excellent up and coming young coach who will lead with character and integrity to go along with his passion for young people. While Daniyal has a great opportunity to start his career with a program that has been and will continue to be successful." TJ OTZELBERGER – HEAD COACH AT IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY "Daniyal is a proven leader, winner and man of character. He is elite at cultivating meaningful relationships that enhance each student-athletes college experience. This is a home run hire for Cleveland State and I look forward to following the future success of the Vikings men's basketball program." JAMIE POLLARD – DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS AT IOWA STATE "Coach Robinson is a tremendous husband, father and coach, who has played an important role in Iowa State's basketball success during the seven years he has been on our staff, and I am excited for him to have the opportunity to lead the Cleveland State program. I know how hard he has worked and prepared for this moment. I believe it speaks volumes to Daniyal's character and abilities that he was able to work for three different head coaches during his time with the Cyclones, that's rare in today's world. Cleveland State will find Danyial to be a connector who fosters outstanding relationships not only with his players, but externally within the community as well. Coach Robinson and his family will be great additions to the Cleveland State family, and I look forward to cheering the Vikings on from Ames." SHAKA SMART – HEAD COACH AT MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY "Daniyal is a terrific hire. He's got a great basketball mind, builds very close connections with players, and is a tireless recruiter. I'm very excited to root for the program he builds at Cleveland State!"

      Quit being such an apologist all the time. He didn't have to kick UNT in the nuts to get his point across. That was just disrespectful and lazy. Say its a tough conference or something else.
