I agree support has always been a struggle at NT, but aren't DD & RV out selling the progtam during the offseason? This is common at most of the D1 programs. Most caoches are out speaking to alumni groups, students or anyone that will listen selling the program, drumming up support and attempting to sell more season tickets. NT has a coach that goes unheard between Spring practice and the start of Fall. RV promises quarterly meetings that don't happen. We have a group here that would do anything to help the program, but nothing is done to capitalize on this "free" help. So much could be and should be done, but we just get the same old thing. A coach that badmouths the school and fans. Oh and bowler, I don't thin¬?

I played organized sports for 15+ years and am the son of a coach. I've never had a coach that tried to fire up his team by criticizing the people that are there to suppprt them. His choice of language doesn't offend me either. I'm just tired of DD's attitude towards those that are trying to support his program, and his lack of effort in promoting this program in a posotive light publicly. I agree with FF Joey's thoughts 100 percent.

Heard the fans were referred to as F'ers.

Wonder if Don Kassing would be interested in the position Pohl is vacating?

Didn't get it? Welcome to the board Ramon!

Here is the problem. We don't have enough fans that will suppport the program through thick and thin. The first sign that things aren't going the way they want them to, and they go away. Money is a huge issue, but the admin. needs to stay the course and let RV do his job!

Make that three....Jack Bauer.

Once again, stadium funding, or any funding for athletic facilities, is all done through private donations. If alums give and state that they want the money to go specifically to athletics, then LJ can't touch it for NT-Dallas.

Maybe RV should be trying to contact one of these people. You never know what might happen. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Baseball?

Care to elaborate, or are you subscribing to the PMG conspiracy theory?

Here's my idea. Stop your support of everything but athletics. Divert all of your donations to athletics. Let LJ's dream of UNT Dallas die on the vine. If you bought season tickets last year buy two extra this year. If you weren't in the Mean Green Club, join. If you were in the MGC, up your donation. This would allow the athletic department to promote the program the way we all want, build the facilities NT deserves, buy out bad contracts and provide our student-athletes with the tools to succeed. By not contributing to other areas you don't allow LJ to win. Currently he is by discouraging many alums from giving to the AD.

Amon Carter for a mid-major. Can't beat Wrigley for MLB. Favorite High School stadium is the new DISD. Favorite small high school stadium is in Crawford.

Referring to last season during a real game, not practice.

So, he gets after them in practice when the play doesn't penalize the team, but his DB coach pats a DB on the head after it occurs during a game?

O.K., now it is time to concentrate on football.

I will terribly disappointed if there are not new coaches leqding both of these programs next year. This is inexcusable.

Thursday or Saturday, does it really matter? For reasons beyond my comprehension, the NT athletic department fails year after year after year to take advantage of prime promotional opportunities. There is absolutely no excuse for this.

This is an embarrasment. It is time for JJ to go. There is absolutely no reason to keep him here anymore as the head coach. Nice man, but he can't get it done.

Thanks. Tell your supervisor in the Athletic Dept. thanks.....oh, you don't work for the Athletic Department do you? It's amazing to me that the department doesn't provide this, doesn't have daily practice updates on the website and doesn't utilizing the Spring, actually late winter, Game as a vehicle to market the program with a meet the team, pick your season tickets, meet the coaches, etc...

I find it funny that the BcS coaches thought Kelvin Drake was too short. I don't recall Nate Newton or Larry Allen as being that tall, and they are two of the best the Cowboys ever had at guard.

Hmmmm, not one BcS school.
