SPORTS GAME RECAPS...
In Texas, sports are king.
Athletics play a huge role not just in my life but in the lives of others as well. Creating content about sports for the community is imperative to me. I know garnering as much involvement in my school’s sports and the sports world as a whole can bring us all together.
A 63-36 DEFEAT AGAINST SOUTH FLORIDA GIVES NORTH TEXAS FIRST LOSS AMID RECORD CROWD
The North Texas and South Florida game was one of the most anticipated matchups of its respective week on the college football schedule. National media outlets packed the press box to watch the two Group of Six programs duke it out for a crucial resume builder for the G6 spot in the 2026 College Football Playoff. In a game that was a tale of two halves, this story was fun to write.
MEAN GREEN FOOTBALL CLINCHES MONUMENTAL CONFERENCE WIN 31-17 OVER NAVY
North Texas’ meetup with Navy produced one of the most memorable games in recent history for the Mean Green, paving a potential road to their first College Football Playoff appearance with their athletic director rooting them on shirtless in the stands. The game rejuvenated North Texas’ playoff hopes, a rarity in the program’s history, which was an honor to document.
NORTH TEXAS BECOMES BOWL-BOUND AFTER STOMPING UTSA 55-17
North Texas football fans remember the date Nov. 27, 2021, by heart. On that day, the Mean Green upset No. 15 UTSA 45-23 at home to earn a bowl berth, the last time North Texas earned bragging rights in the rivalry. The Mean Green program looked vastly different in 2021, with head coach Eric Morris still at the helm of the University of Incarnate Word, then coaching current NFL quarterback Cam Ward. The Mean Green gave their fanbase a new day to remember in this one, as they snapped a four-game losing streak against the Roadrunners with a 55-17 victory. The win earned them a bid to a bowl game, a sense of deja vu Morris said he strategically worked to recreate.
