From the Red Zone message board: Wait...Let me take a sip of my green kool-aid and see if these statements sound any less absurd.... Nope...

To be fair, oldguy has but seen her from a distance, but her proximity caused him to endure some very colorful commentary from a number of club members. The spot in the list in the OP was dedicated to those who donate and feel unappreciated for doing so. I've had similar feelings about someone at UC Irvine, and sometimes wonder why a position such as hers even exists as a paid one. If you want someone really dedicated to it, who will make the mean green club members feel welcome, you should just make it volunteer. Get an alumnus who actually: A ) Went to UNT at some point in his/her life B ) Cares more about the score of the UNT game than the cell phone feed for Southern Miss C ) Cannot count the years since high school graduation on one hand So in conclusion, I don't personally know the woman, and therefore have no personal beef with her. That given, I can' t think of another person whose mere distant presence brings about such instant ire amongst those in the area.

My fragile male ego is once again kept intact! Given our play these days, I think it's gotta' be jello shots next week! Green of course!

Not dramatic enough. This is the age of reality TV, and dunking booths have gone the way of battle of the network stars for fan appeal and sensationalism. In this modern day and age, I think you're on the right track, but it needs to go more like this. Before the first kickoff, the coaching staff and athletic department staff are placed standing on a trap door which hovers over a flaming pit of doom. For every point the other team scores, the trap door opens up a few inches. For every point UNT scores, it closes a couple inches. When the margin reaches greater than 35 points, the door springs open, and the whole kit and kaboodle disappear into the flaming wreckage below. Of course, the whole thing would be set up by Chris Angel and poorly faked, so the entire staff would emerge on Monday completely unharmed and ready for action the following week!

It was indeed a good time. Looking forward to next week!

One always hears disgruntled fans saying, "I could do a better job than that bum!" Well in this case, since there is no lower we can sink, we could literally put a chimpanzee in a polo shirt on the sidelines, and the results would be the same.

I don't see Western Kentucky on that list. So we're not at bottom yet. There's always 120 when they complete the transition!

100% right. Todd Dodge is no "collage" coach. A "collage" coach can use an adhesive substance to bind the parts of his work into one, unified piece.

And if the last two UNT games are any indication, they'll get it.

I look at it this way. In politics, I've always liked those t-shirts that say, "If you didn't vote, then shut the hell up!" Translate that to football, and I think if I'm going to the games, all the games, then I reserve the right to bitch about the product that is put before me. If I stay home and hide under the covers waiting for the "real college football" to come on the TV, then my voice shouldn't have so much weight.

There's definitely some questionable play calling going on here. For me, the game was lost in the second quarter. UNT ball in FIU territory. Somewhere around the 25-30 yard line. 3rd down and less than a yard. Dodge decides to go from the shotgun formation...twice! We turn the ball over on downs, FIU scores, UNT gives up. Going from the shotgun....twice...from that yardage when a simple sneak would've gotten the first down, in my mind, puts just as much culpability on the current coaching staff as running the ball on 3rd and 25 did on the past.

If the vote doesn't pass, and the coaching staff doesn't do something, anything, then it's gonna' go like this... What do UNT and its special teams have in common? They both drop football. When FIU becomes a body bag game, it's time to start looking at teams like Northlake college as more appropriate competition. (Do they even have a team?)

From the mouths of babes: My daughter, after FIU's sixth touchdown, said, "They're worse than cafeteria food!"

34-14. 20 Point margin. Man, things are so dreary around here that losing by only 20 points sounds like a dream come true! Here's hoping we dig ourselves out of ESPN's #1 spot tomorrow!

Yeah, I worked that much in undergrad too, but I wasn't flying all over creation every week during the fall to endure multiple hits equivalent to a 40mph car crash.

Maybe if we put the team on a baseball field.

It's ok for men to cry when watching Brian's song, and it's ok to have a bit of a man crush when someone makes a post like that one.

I just took my first principles of accounting test. The questions were quite literally along the lines of "Timmy just bought a used bicycle for $10 cash. Did his cash balance go up or down?" The class average was 68, and the low was in single digits. Really? *Not implying anything about football players here. Just boggled at the overall class results.

I didn't put LSU on a higher academic plane. The schools listed were examples of schools that send a lot of players to the NFL draft, thus I would think those players would have different priorities.

PLUG! +1

I hope you don't misunderstand me. My question was really one that leads to respect. I know I wouldn't be able to do it.

It's the flash reflecting off the glaze. The picture looks like something out of a bad 70s cookbook I admit. It's more attractive in real life.

In a school like UNT, which is no LSU, Ohio State or USC, what percentage of the football players really pay attention to their academics? Let's be honest. Nobody on this team is likely to go to the NFL, so it would stand to reason for the unsullied mind that they're playing to get their education paid for. If they are here for academics, how the hell do they keep up with it? I've been getting bombarded with quizzes left and right lately and if I were to miss any lectures, I wouldn't be able to answer them. I've also twice today had teachers give pop quizzes at the end of class because they got pissed off at people leaving the lecture early. Were I a football player, it would really suck to try to keep up with that! Gah! Late Thursday nights with no beer seem to cause me to think of endless random topics! Apologies are given in advance of my many threads this evening.

There's a kid in one of my classes that resembles his roster photo, but I can't tell. Is Vizza sporting the unshaven look these days?
