Seems UNT has a basketball Mom that has been known to be a tad vocal during games...nothing like this, but pretty vocal none the less. Player parents should realize who they are and what they are doing. It's a reflection on them, the school and their kids. Not something i would want to have being a negative. The kid is probably used to his Mom doing this sort of thing, but it cannot get much more embarrassing then this! This should be a lesson to all UNT player parents (and fans for that matter) that how you act, what you do & say in public, and what you post on fan message boards...makes a difference. It can either be a positive one or a negative one. The choice is 100% up to the individual parent and/or fan.

I remember one of our cornerbacks got burned in his last game at old Fouts. One of our board members voiced his displeasure, nothing vulgar or hateful. Said player's mom looked up from the next section over and got pissed, and I'm pretty sure her verbal tirade included a few f bombs.

Players and parents need thick skin. Can you imagine if her son made it to the NFL, say the Giants or Eagles, and screwed up a play, maybe cost the team the game???

Absolutely, Deep. Indeed they do. And, they need to realize that their actions in public and on message boards reflect back on their sons/daughters and the university itself...not to mention back to them as well. Having experienced the "player parent" thing with a son playing college soccer (and goalkeeper at that), I have some experience in this area. Not easy at times to keep ones trap shut...but ALWAYS best to do so, and when in public with any medium one needs to be mindful of what they do/say/post, etc.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      I agree completely. People shouldn't be kept in a job that they're not performing well in just because they've been there a long time, are alums or really any other reason. These were people who consistently performed well at their jobs, chose to attend games they weren't working to support teams, and were very invested in seeing UNT succeed.

      ECU (1/14/25)

      We went to ECU last year, why did we have to go there again this year? Imo Floyd and Massie tend to get lost in a lot of games. It'd be nice to see more production and aggressiveness out of them during games. Good shooting night last night, we tend to grind games out with defense on the road, not with shooting.

      ECU (1/14/25)

      Though I did enjoy the win, the title of this thread does have me confused. Who or what is a/an ECU? I can't seem to figure it out....

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Screw pizza. I remember back in the 90s early 00s, Wendy's used to run some promotion where they handed out cards and NT made like 6 three pointers you got a free burger. Well, the folks at Wendy's didn't check (I mean this was before smart phones and all) --- I got A LOT of free burgers on nights where we didn't hit the requisite number of threes.

      ECU (1/14/25)

      I didn't get to watch the game last night, but to echo your sentiment with a little more reasoning (at least MY reasoning)... It's just nice to know we have a team with an IDENTITY. Similar to the Dickey era in football with back-to-back national rushing champs because we successfully ran the ball constantly. Not saying they'll be perfect all the time, off-nights happen, but just knowing that every time our guys take the floor, it's going to be a frustrating game for the opposition who will most likely score well-below their season average (ECU was averaging 75.5/gm at home before running into us & only dropping 60). It's neat to have something that's unique (or, at least rare) to UNT. And now, in the age of NIL & constant transfers leaving us unable to really form true affinity for players, it's fun to watch these rotating puzzle pieces come together in Coach Hodge's system & find success.
