Coach DeLoach is a great coach and I believe the kids really respect him and want to play for him! Glad your here Coach D!

I brought 8 people. Found myself apolgizing even though I tried to manage expectations prior to kickoff.

and I clipped my wings as punishment too!

Bama Def Line (1st & 2nd string) = IMMOVABLE OBJECT. We ran the ball 19 times right at the IO. Our O Lineman must have had serious helmet rash on their backs from that playcalling strategy. No "thank you" notes to TD from O Line after Bame game.

hey meangreengdub, how many interceptions did Tune throw? how many fumbles did Tune have? how many sacks did Tune give up? how many negative plays did Tune have? how many fumbled snaps did Tune have? the only series in the entire game where any creative plays were called resulted in a TD. From what I saw, Tune looked the #3 Team in the Country all day without blinking. So, please explain your basis for making such a rediculous, assinine, unfounded statement? I will give you a hint since you apparently did not watch the game. None, nada, zilch to all the above questions. Please refrain from posting if you do not have a clue as to what you are saying. Thank you.

Awesome! Thanks!

For those not able to go, anyone know of a way to view on television or otherwise?

You get 5 years to get in 4 years of PT. No ifs ands or buts.

This is very sad news if true. To be so close to finishing his career. Life is not all about football as it comes and goes so quickly in the grand scheme of life. Having been in the business world in Dallas for almost 30 years, I know the value ex SMU athletes have in the business community. There are plenty of successful SMU alums in the local business world who love to hire one of their own (especially athletes). Having the label of "quitter" could and may lessen his career marketability. If anyone knows him or someone in his family, please do what you can to talk him out of this if not too late!! He needs to consider what his Father would want him to do. What his fan base would want him to do. This is a serious decision.

Couldnt agree more 97and03! Well said!!

Case in point, did anyone watch Vince Young tonight? That poor guy is totally lost in the NFL and is showing no signs of getting a clue. Painful to watch.

Gentlemen/UNT Supporters, Allow me to clear the air on the Nathan Tune/QB situation as noted in this thread. I have known him for some time and feel confident in my credibility to respond. He IS a competitor and would not be investing his time and sweat if his mindset was anything less. Yes, he understands that Riley is much more accomplished coming out of HS, is a great athlete/QB, has spent the last 8+ years of his life learning the current version of TD's offense. Besides believing that he CAN play at this level, he is an unselfish teammate and pulls for all teammates alike regardless of position (dont think this makes him complacent by any means). Regardless of any QBs class, experience, all of them should be "making their move" every single day. If they are not, then they should unselfishly give up their position on the team for someone else with a competitive mindset. Saysojoe, if Chase is the best QB on the Team then time will prove it and I'm sure Nathan will support him as he would any other. I think all QBs realize that they are one or two plays away from being the starter. I think that realization motivates them. Hope you are all at ease now! GO MEAN GREEN!!

With the event being held in the grassy area/field just north of the atletic complex, there was more area therefore the density of people looked less than in past on the veranda. By adding the 5K run, several jump houses/dunking booth and the band, it was obvious more planning and the desire for a larger event was intended. Now that the stadium is a reality vs. dream, momentum will certainly build. All we need now are 4-5 wins to feel that the UNT FB train is back on track! Rick and his staff are forging ahead with expectations of success. Currently, there are plenty of available seats on the aforementioned train so jump on and enjoy the ride!!

correction: meant RD

You forgot to include if Tune gets healthy, watch out TD and CB.

Do not overlook "cinderella man"!

You are a wise man!

Absolutely he is!!

I have already heard very positive feedback re: Mr. Ausmus. He may be the single most important improvement to advancing the FB program to new heights. Totally agree that this is a very good decision/hire!

Like all of you, I am hopeful that 2009 will bring about a "turning the corner" season in terms of wins. That remains to be seen. However, the academic side of the rebuilding has already happened. The academic counselors and players are to be commended for this awesome progress. And, props are due to TD for putting the emphasis and focus into play. Very impressive!!

Totally agree! Meager should start and get 3 qtrs. Phillips gets 4th. These guys have paid their dues, hung in there for 4 tough years.

Kyle, Good job and way to be a great example for your teammates and all of us! We need more guys like you on the team and everywhere for that matter! Something tells me your decision will work out and there will not be a need to second guess. Continue to focus on the "target" and success will be a reality!

Yes, Hank and George do a great job! Honestly, they are as good as you will hear on any college FB broadcast. UNT fans, you are lucky to have these guys!! Let em know!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am going to defend RV here so lets get that out in the open. You may not like him personally or like some of his decisions but I challenge any of you to say that he is not doing his absolute best to improve the athletic dept at UNT. He has done many positive, great things to date and worked his tail off to successfully sell the benefits of a new stadium. If you are not aware, that was a HUGE accomplishment. The fact that the FB team is struggling and the economy just fell into an unprecedented abyss were not a part of his plan. If I am wrong, please correct me but I feel and have seen that his every decision/move has been intended to benefit UNT. I know its easy and human nature to focus on whats not going perfectly but let's thank him and say job well done for making the new stadium project a reality.
