I really like what UNT has done in the last few years in getting involved with social media. It is fun to watch the youtube highlights, videos of practice, coach Canales, facebook and twitter posts.

Coach Sumlin of the Aggies understands how important social media platform can be and I think it has helped tremendously with recruiting.

Now we just need to get Dan McCarney on twitter himself!

The main area this helps with is in recruiting. Recruits are all over social media.

He may not have a twitter account but he is still very involved in the whole process and most likely is over the shoulder of his position coaches when they're trading direct messages with recruits. I highly doubt we are falling behind because Mac himself doesn't have an account. Didn't we hire an official social media guy from the high school coaching ranks to handle all this before the season began? I think we're fine.

I know we don't have a dedicated Rivals, scout or 247 site but it seems like we're getting more coverage here. It is interesting to note that you can check an assistant coaches following/followers list to see the recruits they are in contact with.

He probably types in all caps

Actually, that could work for him. "GET OFF YOUR DAMN COUCHES AND GET YOUR ASSES IN GEAR MEAN GREEN NATION! IT'S GAME DAY! #BeUnique #BeDifferent"

What coach McCarney says cannot be contained by 140 characters.

True that. I'd love some inspirational Coach Mac speeches on my Twitter feed though. His speeches aren't just motivation for football, they're motivation for life.

The AD has also tapped local social media and branding gurus at Swash Labs to help guide their Facebook, Twitter and YouTube endeavors. I've got some buddies over at Swash including their founder who's a multiple UNT alum.

Can you convince them to get Mac a gifyo account?

      It's just a rhythmic chant..."Welcome To The Pit!"....that as you're yelling it....you're pumping your fist in the air, to go along with the words. Used to be done in the 70s and 80s. You do it once the game is in hand...

      UNT Basketball Wins Fifth Straight With 77-64 Win Over FAU

      DENTON – The UNT men’s basketball remained undefeated at home with a 77-64 win over Florida Atlantic at the Super Pit Sunday. Moulaye Sissoko recorded his second double-double of the season and third of his career on 14 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. Sissoko has now scored double-digit points in four consecutive games, extending his career-long streak. North Texas (15-4, 6-1), who trailed by seven at the half, scored 50 points in the second half to earn its fourth come from behind win of the season. It’s the most points UNT has scored in a half against a conference opponent since scoring 55 against Rice on Dec. 29, 2018. “I give coach [John] Jakus and his staff a lot of credit, they came in with a big spirit,” UNT head coach Ross Hodge said. “I thought with eight minutes to go in the first half, we started getting a little more active, started getting some more turnovers and cut into the lead.” The Owls (10-10, 3-4) got their early lead behind Kaleb Glenn, as his 11 points at half led Florida Atlantic to the 34-27 lead at the break. UNT’s offensive explosion in the second half was led by Brenen Lorient, who built upon his five points in the first half with 12 in the second half. The Mean Green also took care of the ball as they finished with 10 assists and just five turnovers on the day. The Mean Green took the lead at the 11:07 mark of the second half on a Sissoko jumper and did not look back. Lorient finished with 17 points, his 11th double-digit performance of the season. Atin Wright also scored 17 points, going 4-8 from 3-point range. Sunday’s win also ends a five-game losing streak to FAU and is North Texas’ fifth straight overall win this year, which is a season best. They are now 11-0 at home for the first time since the 2010-11 season. Next up, North Texas heads to Wichita State on Wednesday at Koch Arena. The contest tips off at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+ and the Mean Green Sports Network presented by Learfield.

      Man, Moulaye Sissoko has been the man lately. Goes 14/13 today, plays the most minutes and is a beast in the paint. Flour was also terrific, but the big guy kept us in the game early and was so solid all night.
