I'd like to go to a game but so far it just hasn't been on my radar. I plan my entire fall around North Texas football. NT Softball not nearly enough. What time are this weekend's games ?

The ladies open conference against FIU with a DH on Saturday, starting at 1:00 (second game starts around 3:00). Sunday game is at noon.

My estimate for crowd would be about 250 in the stands for most games, but there are probably 100 more that park along the outfield fence and watch from their pick up, car, etc. I have seen games where the stands are packed.

The team plays with grit and enthusiasm. I enjoy watching them and the game atmosphere is fun....lots of on-field banter.

If you get a chance, see Ashley Kirk pitch. She has this unique pre-pitch routine...a skip/hop to the back of the circle after the catcher returns her the ball, then a hard transfer of the ball from hand to glove as she moves to the pitching rubber. Does it every pitch. Love her attitude.

Ashley had 14 strikeouts in a game last weekend (the second or third time she has done that), not bad when you only have 21 outs to get.

The girls are getting the bats going, and coach is getting more pitchers into the game.

Hope to see you there.

Attending Softball games is partly a trade off to get the Wife to attend football games but I do enjoy attending. I sometimes close my eyes and try to imagine I'm at a NT Baseball game. Looks like I won't have to imagine that for very much longer!

250! That is great! Are we allowed to bring seat backs? I hope so... I have the back of an geriatric.

I see no reason you couldn't bring seat backs.

And from twitter:

DENTON, Texas (3/8/13) - Due to concerns about the weather, the North Texas softball team is moving up its Saturday doubleheader to 11 a.m. at Lovelace Stadium. The doubleheader against FIU was originally scheduled for 1 p.m.

The Denton area is expected to receive heavy rain on Saturday afternoon. The Mean Green is hoping to get at least one game played, starting at 11 a.m. North Texas is still scheduled to play on Sunday at 12 p.m. The two teams may play a doubleheader on Sunday, depending on Saturday's outcome.

Please check back with meangreensports.com and @MeanGreenSB on twitter for future updates.

I'm not necessarily a softball fan, but do follow it per my job. The UNT team is starting to show signs of vast improvement. Of course, once they get any recognition, the coach will leave and the program will be in the shi*&ter again.

Sorry for the negative waves.

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.

      Well, San Jose wilted. Losing 35-21, 2:00 min remain.
