CoachD.

My opinion...which I know means nothing....but If UNT wants to be considered a big time division 1 program...then from top to bottom they need to act like a big time program. These half fast hires and giving people a chance to prove themselves are fine...only if you have exhausted all other options.

I'm sure other candidates are considered...I'm just not sure how much effort goes into calling them in....

Haha...Nice

Sounds like an excellent Division 2 coach

I'm not saying I know all the behind the scenes...and I agree with everyone of you about the big names. All I know is that RV has a lot of faith that the new stadium will be the changing of the tide for UNT football. Not sure the same priority is being placed on this new coach. I know Jeff Bower is the edge to take over....with Fraizer being considered.

I don't think anyone disagrees that Leach would be an AMAZING hire....I think almost all the fans would love that..... Apparently...it's just something our AD isn't going to do.

RV is considering only Bower or Frazier from Prarie View A&M

Guys....it's pretty much a done deal....RV is gonna hire Jeff Bower. They were at Southern Miss together and it's one of two of his targets.

YES SIR!!!!! IF UNT BEATS ALABAMA I WILL TATTOO A MEAN GREEN FIGHTING EAGLE ON THE RIGHT CHEEK OF MY ASS!!!!! LET'S GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!

So I work with a bunch of Tech alumni who...of course love to act like Tech is the greatest University hands down in everything. The argument now is that Tech academically is a better institution than UNT. I refuse to believe that a school (Tech) that has lower admission standards, been put on accreditation probabtion, and has the highest freshmen drop out rates in Texas is better academically than UNT. Am I right to say, "at best UNT and a Tech degree is pretty even." Little help so I can put these Red Raider alumni in their place.....what else does UNT have on Tech??? Thanks!

With the exception of the pick...Tune did an alright job.....The problem was Outlaw.....He has one ball go right off his face mask, and another dropped to win the game!! Outlaw better turn it around....we're playing way to good to lose games off of little things.

He seems like a good guy.....but he is from California.....what do you expect...people out there are just different. 5'10 160 going against Kelly from OU....just isn't gonna cut it. Hopefully there won't be anymore tall dominant receivers he will have to cover this year.

I think you all are giving way to much credit that people would actually buy it. I mean you can't exactly walk into a store and buy it. There might be a few hundred sold....that's it. Its a shirt....if you don't like it...don't buy it...don't look at it....worry about yourself....If more people practiced this type of approach I could still say Merry Christmas in the school I teach in without getting fired!!!

Just because you can run the offense good in high school dose not always mean you can run it good at the Division 1 level. Plus he has been away from Dodge for a few years. I think teams like OU are a little bit better on the defensive side of the ball then collyville Heritage, and Trinity ( just a little bit though). I really don't see how much of an impact this guy can make for our team in one year anyways.

Were at 11% now

haha...you actually pointed out some new points to me...good one. By the way...I teach and coach, and I just printed out some copies of the wallpaper picture of our basketball team and handed it out to the varsity basketball team in study hall. Now...they know who NORTH TEXAS IS!!!!!

ALL these things you are suggesting have been done. I worked orientation and have helped plan and organize these types of events. All you ever get is a bunch of freshmen who hate school spirit and think its all "gay." Seems like the kids who do care go off and join organizations to get involved...but even then, that’s only like 3% of all freshmen. Pumping freshmen up to be here at UNT has been going on for sometime now...dorm contests...spirit contests....when I was working it we did all three of those. We even bring in new people from other schools who whole job is to get kids excited about being part of the Mean Green…. I just think it’s a culture.....you got to win more to get people to notice you. You have to beat the schools that are suppose to crush you. Example….we go out and beat OU, trust me everyone around here is going to be on board with North Texas. I agree with the guy who talked about conferences. We dominated the SBC for about 4 years, and still got little notice. I love North Texas and I want to see the best for it...but don't think there are not people out there right now thinking of ways to make fans of students.

I guess....considering the fact that we use to get shirts made within a 24 hour period in the fraternity...I guess I figured a big school like ours would have had them out at least by today.

Hey, Im trying to buy a North Texas shirt that has something to do with them going to the Tournament...????? I cant seem to find one...even at the campus stores??? I kinda figured these shirts would be all over the place?

After spending 5 wonderful years in the Greek world...I can tell you that going to the UNT Basketball game (especially a tourney game) is ten times more important than Greek Week. I can tell you if I was still on exect in my chapter they would have been at the game. I truly believe that athletics is the key to school pride and school recognition. You want people to respect your school...you better start getting behind athletics in full force. I doubt A&M, Tech and Texas Greek weeks get in the way of there school athletics for a regular season game...much less a tourney game.

Can I get someone to post an up to date commit list. All the other lists I have found are not up to date. Thanks

As long as your gonna do ONE...just do ONE, cause you know how it is when it touches your lips! lol

6-1/205/4.53 Nederland, TX This looks like a pretty good pick up. -Texasfootball.com Some other recent happenings: UNT got pledges from Nederland RB Micah Mosley and Austin Westlake LB/FB Bron Hager; Sam Houston pledged Alvin WR Chris Williams; and Texas City ATH Brandon Williams chose McNeese State.

All I know is we better pull out the girls and show this guy a great time!!!

I'm praying that he comes here....this would be our biggest pick up of the recruiting season.
