ULL 57 UNT 43: Ugly Senior Day Loss
As crushing a blow as that loss on Saturday to ULL was to you, it was just as painful for Tony Mitchell. At least, that is what I gathered from his post-game expression and tweet. There was a look of frustration on Mitchell’s face as Jacob Holmen was unable to find both he and Tyler [...]
Mega Conference Talk
So we are going to the CUSAMWC Super conference? Well it seems like it. The big news today is that the leftovers of the rest of the conference announced an alliance. Bret Vito says UNT officials are going to be mum on the situation. It makes sense. The administration is trying to look all cool [...]

Officially, there is no word on the reason for hospitalization. More reading of the same press release: ESPN Dallas, Mean Green Sports, DMN,
NT 81 FAU 86: Blowing 19-point Leads Edition
I’ll take the heat for this one guys. Right around an hour before the clocked ticked down to double-zeros on a FAU 19-point comeback, double-OT win I tweeted that UNT had this thing locked up. Although Johnny Jones thinks at that point the squad could have converted some opportunities and pushed it out to 30 [...]

For all the love we shower on Tony Mitchell, much of it rightly deserved, he isn’t a one man show. Let’s give a nice round of applause to one Brandon Walton. Number 2 in your program and number 1 in your hearts — if you love three point barrages. I do and so he is. [...]
North Texas National Signing Day 2012
Dan McCarney has the gift of motivation. He has long been known as master of the press conference and I must admit I fell for his charm at the podium once again. I came away thinking we had the recruiting class that will be essential to our future success. Hell we just might have. There [...]
Holmen Out, Regurgitated Recruit News
Oh, Vito. He is the only one on the Mean Green beat, having outlasted Troy Phillips twice. He gets to break news like this though: Jacob Holmen is not practicing today. He is on crutches and in a walking boot. I will find out what his status is after practice. It does not look good, [...]
Scouting MTSU
The problem we have here, folks, is that I am not a coach of basketball, nor an expert. I could pretend to wow you with offensive schemes past your knowledge that no one will care about. Instead I will tell you that I watched Middle Tennessee’s game against Troy, somewhat begrudgingly and had to squint [...]
Jan 28th: North Texas is 13-9, 6-3
After that revenge win against the Red Wolves, neé Indians, we are 9-2 at home going into the biggest game of the season. Middle Tennessee is in the middle of a perfect campaign in the Sun Belt Conference. It is a great time to face them. Tony Mitchell is in excellent form (to steal a [...]
