ADLER

Yeah, that 15 - 27 record at Abilene Christian would be a little hard to sell.

He also has close connections with some of our boosters, our AD, and like Patterson, could be a long term plan. He's only 45 years old, which I think is still kinda young to handle that kind of pressure, but he's already been through the wringer, has elevated multiple teams to ranked status, but has also seen his ranked team collapse this season after his quarterback suffered a separated shoulder against Notre Dame. Would those Texas connections be enough to offset his youth? He seems to have most everything else we could be looking for.

Looks like Fuente is now available after VT ranking as high as #15 earlier this season . He did do an amazing job building Memphis. Could he do the same at North Texas? /

The rules have changed. The Pioneer Kid can get playing time in the last four games and still maintain his redshirt. Now, he loses a year of eligibility if he steps on the field for a fifth game.

It would be so cool if we had an active Denton alumni chapter.

I watched Thursday night's game and found it comical that conference mate SMU reported the attendance at over 22,000. North Texas should do something similar using the same ratios and report a game attendance at something like 500,000

Thanks. I actually laughed out loud. That my be an even better personification of the Todd Dodge era/error when he pissed away his golden opportunity as his main focus changed to become "Under Armour Boy!"

* first please note that Napier is already paid more than Seth. I think Billy may be both LSU's top target and it's his dream job. It may be possible to bring him to North Texas so start digging through your sofa because it's gonna take quite a bit of pocket change.

Yet he accepted the XFL job with the Dallas Renegades last year because he likes the area. At his level he is clearly above being money-whipped like other candidates. North Texas needs to make a statement hire as much as it needs to make an incredibly good football hire. Stoops may be expensive, maybe damned expensive, but that hire could launch North Texas into sports relevance. To quote Dr Norval Pohl, "Athletics is the window through which most of the world views a university." For a 45K enrollment school with a $1.5 Billion budget, the difference between paying $2 Million a year for a probably capable coach, and $4 Million for one that's instantly going to elevate the program instantly going to sell out the stadium, that cost difference is negligible. It would sure be nice to say that we are expanding Apogee to 50-60K because of ticket demand. North Texas has been blessed, incredibly blessed, to have had some extremely generous benefactors that have made enormous financial commitments. Everybody wants to be associated with a winner, and few programs nationally have been starved for a consistent winner the way North Texas has, and only a small percentage of other alumni have become emotionally attached. This move could change all that and be the incentive that would start getting other people to contribute. What other move would quickly energize the North Texas alumni base? What cost is that worth?

Well, he's only 61 and he did take an XFL Dallas Renegades job in 2019-2020. He may be ready to get back onto the college sidelines. That may be the home run hire statement we need. And yes, possibly retain Seth as Associate Head Coach/ Offensive Coordinator with a lot of head coaching responsibilities.

At the risk of supporting a "gateway sport", our former soccer field would make an excellent lacrosse facility. And please don't banish me from Fansville for saying it, but the sport can be fun for spectators.

Still looks like a good deal, but Memphis, SMU, and South Florida may be gone when we get there. Dear AAC Presidents, Changes could be coming much sooner than expected. Please be prepared to quickly replace Memphis, SMU, and South Florida should they get invited to the Big XII, Wichita and Temple if they subsequently bolt for regional basketball conferences, and Navy if it chooses to go independent. Us former CUSA schools could all be paying millions each just for the right to play Tulsa, Tulane, and East Carolina in the new American Conference. At least we'll have a better conference administration, better payouts, and the backing of ESPN. Please keep the conference footprint tight, don't appease any schools that'll threaten to leave for a basketball conference, keep La Tech, Louisiana, and Southern Miss on speed dial, and work with ESPN to select as many as four other schools/markets to make the revised American Conference Sixteen the most viable conference possible.

Fun show. Thanks guys.

That depends if Navy wants to remain in the western division. Temple would certainly prefer for them to be east members, and now they've adding another Carolina school and a Miami area school to that division.

No, 7 in each division. Wichita doesn't play football, and Navy parks all sports other than football in another conference. (It's like, together, they make the 14th full member school)

Interesting post off the Pony board

That's a logically sufficient debate winning statement for some people. That, and, you know, that other thing.

Well, some prankster created this fake Twitter post and someone put it atop all the gmg.com forums Which of our mods posted it there to make it look like we're all incredibly gullible?

Liberty Promotion: Bring Your Spouse Night "Buy a ticket today for Wife, Liberty, ... and the Pursuit of Unhappiness."

He has teaching to do. You'll hear Monday that we need to get better in all three phases of the game.

One of many. Based on his credentials, I am amazed that he was hired here. Then again, maybe Helwig wasn't the best AD.

Totally Trashtastic - even more garbagy than our current black or gray uniforms. "It's nothing other than kids liking that color" .

This is where you ever so politely fire the person that made the decision. "It's nothing personal, but you've proven that you are not capable of doing your job."

That's why we have the freedom to cheer for a myriad of schools that are not called the Mean Green.
