Agreed. He’s doing a fine job. Now just gotta close.

What’s with all these low scoring games?

There's a saying I'd rather be lucky than good... RV had impeccable timing. He shows up as AD at a time when we clearly needed to fundraise and had a background of fundraising at Southern Miss. It seems like almost immediately Darrell Dickey's football program explodes and takes us to our first bowl game in the modern era... He hires Johnny Jones who could recruit and despite a slow start ends up turning around the program taking UNT to the NCAA's. This built so much goodwill at a place that had not ever seen so much success he was going to be around for awhile. Mistakes were certainly made as well. The premature Dickey firing and Dodge/Benford/McCarney hires being paramount. RV would tell you himself that an AD is judged on his major sports hires. But RV's impeccable timing shielded him when the magnifying glass finally turned his way. He was hired by Pohl who ended up getting run out of town. Next, Prez Bataille and more importantly the donors started to look at him closely and then she was let go... Rawlings was interim and not looking to make any waves heading toward his retirement... Smatresk had to get his feet on the ground and gain the support of the donors before he was able to make a change. I think the poster who stated it was our leadership that led us to have RV for 15 years was spot on. I also think McCarney getting to the bowl game in 2013 really reset some of the changes that appeared to be coming down the pike and extended his tenure even longer. You can debate on whether or not RV was directly responsible for some of the major improvements that have occurred in UNT athletics over the past 15 years but the bottom line is things like the conference championships, bowl games, new athletic center, Apogee stadium, C-USA all came under his tenure and he deserves some credit for that. Could we have accomplished more in that time span? It's certainly possible.

If he had to sit out a year we might have a fighting chance, but with him graduating early he will not want to sit out a year. He is looking for a place that needs a QB right away. I haven't looked at Arizona's roster but I wonder if he ends up rejoining with Sumlin.

I miss adam smith! https://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/topic/61469-the-5-best-players-in-unt-basketball-history/

So long as SMU is in AAC we won’t be allowed in. UConn stinks in FB but their basketball is strong.

This is a valid question. He was awesome! Then again so was the guy before him, Just have to reload.

To me the big key on this is what do we have in Aune? How quickly can he mature? We have some good talent in Bean and Martin and with Will Kuehne on the way I still like where we are at.

Hey I don’t blame him for wanting to get on the field and play. I wish him and his family only the best.

E.J. Ejiya is going to be hard to replace period end of story.

Ugh...

Crappy call there!

Still a lot of time if we can force some misses.

This is bad fellas. They have us on the ropes.

Not looking good. Need someone to heat up from the3

Dude looks like a good recruiter which is a tad bit easier at OU of course. Still, if he can bring some of that success here I am in.

I’m a Steve Yellen fan. Hope we get him on some other roadies.

Too close man. This is going down to the wire.

Odigie is OWNING Tope... very frustrating to watch.

Keep giving him chances I say; he’s trying to find it.

No sound!!
