It's not much but, as mentioned in another thread the 1929 Model A Green Machine wasn't present last night at the game. I contribute this to some info told to me last week by the Talons that it was scheduled to have its original combustible engine placed back in, ending one of the most stupid ideas ever born on our campus, that of turning a traditional American Classic automobile into an electric car.

Members of the Swartz family, Soundman and myself told university officials two years ago not to do that and that it was going to be a disaster and a waste of time and money. But they had to find it out for themselves and it turned out exactly that way.

So thankfully it's being restored again and hopefully we will see it soon spreading the Mean Green Spirit again on campus, in parades and at other events.

I didn't think they were going to do it this soon. At the $mut game, I thought they said they would be doing it later after the season. I'm sure I'm not the only one who told them to get it done now. Glad to see this error is being corrected.

      Softball vs. UAB (4/17 & 4/18/25)

      Mother Nature disrupts another softball series. With Easter on Sunday, and bad weather expected Saturday, the ladies will play one game tomorrow and a doubleheader Friday starting at 3 PM. Tight race in The American as we enter the last three conference series. UNT needs two wins this series to match their win total from last year. I maintain getting a top two seed is the highest priority but we are right there with #1 FAU and hold the tiebreaker, the only team in the conference to do so. Other Series This Weekend FAU @ East Carolina Memphis @ South Florida UTSA @ Charlotte Wichita State @ Tulsa I don't foresee South Florida or Charlotte losing this weekend, so a sweep at home against UAB is almost necessary.

      Thought I'd share some good news in this thread. Taller than Lampkin and NCAA Tournament experience.

      We’re not alone

      I read somewhere before the teams were even seeded that Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston were a step above every other team. There was some metric/stat they showed to back up the statement. So, yes, I think those teams were accurately seeded…though TT almost had something to say about it.

      WBB: Transfer Portal

      https://dentonrc.com/sports/colleges/mean_green/unt-womens-basketball-team-looking-at-nearly-complete-rebuild-after-players-head-to-portal/article_cf093cbf-6ff4-44de-a70d-4f4892172cb2.html Brett Vito is reporting in his article that Hardaway, Deck, Wooten, McGrew, and Duncan are all in the portal. He reported also that Johnson left towards the end of the season. I knew I didn't see her any longer, but I thought maybe injuries, but it turns out she left like Abou did a few years back. Brackens went into the portal and has since landed at Tarleton State. The only people he says that are coming back are Tac, who was injured all season, Chania Price, and Talley.
