Hmm, my wife and I on the same team. We almost broke up over a a softball game when we were dating.

This should be fun!

So, being on the same team this time should help...since you are both older and wiser now about such things, right? Keep saying...it's just a game...it's just a game...it's just a game...then go out and buy flowers, candy and diamonds! Edited by KRAM1

In going over our calendar it might not matter. Our son has tryout that day at the same time. It looks like she might make the game. :(

If the white team needs a player former UNT QB Attaway just moved back from Las Vegas. He said he will play.

XL shirt.

Green team would be glad to take him!!

I ain't much of a coach, but I know enough that I have to replace my vacant space(s), with commissioner approval of course.

Give Attaway a white jersey!

unt88, what would Jason (that Attaway, correct?) like as his jersey name?

Uh, green has also lost a player so we need a replacement too.

Both teams are down a player or two...but we did just add one to the white team yesterday...so Attaway is in and goes to the Green team!

T-shirts are already ordered, so he'll get one of the extras without a name...he can just be the mystery man!

So, Jason Attaway to the Green Team! Only fair since both are down, white added a player yesterday and UNT88 got the lead and roped him in to play as well....

Done deal...

Thanks to UNT88 for filling a vacant slot for us and WELCOME HOME JASON ATTAWAY! Green Team it is!

Does anyone have any suggestions for batting cages around Denton? I found a couple on google, but I'm just seeing if anyone has had any personal experiences.

I'm trying to get some batting practice in.

Go with Thor's suggestion, just a word of caution though. The machines at that set of cages do not always work, or work well.

Confession: It's not for practice. It's for an ellaborate trash-talk video.

There is a new one in Denton called DBI. It's caddy corner from Guyer HS. It's open to the public

Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but is there a link to the official rules we'll be following? Stealing bases? Sliding? Pitch arc? Etc.?

Nope..Coach Hubbard promised to get us the rules...alas Coach Hubbard is gone...working on it from Costa Rica is a tad challenging, but, hey...lots of fun...that and folks telling me they now cannot play after shirts ordered and rosters set! Oh, the joys of organizing these little events.

Hey...got to be flexible...it is going to be great....all fun and definitely for a great cause!

See you on the 13th.

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      Opps! Jim Hobdy created the UNT Battle Flag in 1986 and WAS NOT involved with Rick Spear's design of the flying worm which was adopted by Hayden Fry and used during his tenure.My bad. It is a shame that we didn't stick with it and it certainly separated us from any other eagle mascot. However if you google history of Mean Green knickname you will find the credit for its universal usage by UNT attributed to Rick Villareal, not Hayden Fry.

      UTSA Game Uniforms

      I don't think Hayden did this. Perhaps you could provide some reference as I can't recall the term "mean green " applying to our team as a whole until the 2000's. Yes the eagle is our mascot and mean green is the nickname of our team. Also I believe Jim Hobney [sic] was also involved in the creation of the flying worm bet can't exactly remember how. Maybe you know.

      This is a big game for Elf

      I agree with most all you say, but I don't think Coach has his team here yet. Everything is not yet fixed (ie defense). If he can elevate the Defensive play (ie new DC and bigger, better players) to match the Offense, then we will have something! Sorry, we are still a work in progress!

      McNeese road trip?

      Must have some closet McNeese fans on board here.

      This is a big game for Elf

      We have lost 4 of the last 5 against this program, 5-7 overall. UTSA has been playing FBS football since 2012. Since 2013, we have been in a conference with them. Through last season, they are 72-65. They've won 2 conference titles and have gone 1-4 in bowl games, while also being ranked. They've had three coaches. In the same category above, we are 63-71. No conference championships and have gone 1-6 in bowl games. We have had 4 head coaches. If we lose to them tonight, Morris will basically tell us that he just isn't going to be able to lift this program higher than it was when he took it over. UTSA in 2024 is not good. They're 4-5, with wins over Kennesaw State, Houston Christian, FAU, and (somehow) Memphis. Not counting having to sacrifice themselves to UT-Daddy, they've lost 4 games against peer programs, Texas State, ECU, Rice, and Tulsa. Maybe I'm wrong, but we should beat these guys, even on the road at a place that has been a house of horrors for us, if we have the right coach leading us. This is one of those games that will tell us in our hearts if we have someone worth a damn as the head coach or if he's no different than everyone else we always hire here.
