  1. A long time ago, when I was younger and Harry was running this board on a different setup with a guy named "Scotty" -- he just threw his hands up and said "I'M OUT." In my younger and more idealist vision, why would he do that? Why can't UNT be that sleeping giant and be TCU that invigorates their program? I went with @Cerebus to grab some tickets from Scotty since he wasn't going to use them anymore and I could definitely talk someone to use them. He was a normal guy, not angry, not a monster, just a dude. A dude who wanted to use him time and money elsewhere. Still, as an more mature and realist, I still don't know why not UNT. But I get Scotty. This AD is terrible. Moseley and his C-suites are terrible hires. Wren wasn't good. At that VERY least with RV he made the fans like us feel heard and appreciated. RV definitely had his faults and I was not a big fan. Chief Revenue Officer. LOL. General Manager. LOL.
  2. It's almost a comedy bit at this point with the levels of AD. Dante's Mean Green Inferno.
  3. They are just creating more AD bloat. GM? CEO? CFO? This AD loves himself some corporate culture of C-suites.
  4. Nah, that isn't what is happening. Long time fans that have *always* backed the program through thick and thin keep taking it in the nuts (or wallet). The AD needs to actually do their job and find new revenue and fans and stop bleeding their loyalist dry. Their product isn't better but the prices are increasing 100% in some cases, 50% a lot and 25% in most. I don't find it a coincidence that the "Chief Revenue Officer" found a new job after he bled the hub club dry the last two years and the yearly retention was only ~80%. So sure, maybe the short term this joker thinks it is an increase in revenue, but but they really lost the long term. People dropping from the hub are not going to the games anymore. They are not donating their yearly MGSF. They are lost revenue. So after that, they move to a new section to find the next level of people to start squeezing.
  5. This AD is pretty tone deaf. Whoa! Wait a second, one of the 'benefits' is to pay off the tickets over time? WOW! Hardly a 'benefit' - more like an incentive try to get people who can't afford the tickets to over spend. Ticket holder gifts are tchotchkes as best. Worthless junk that most of the times I would end up leaving at the game accidentally. Discounts on additional tickets - when 3/4ths of the stadium is empty. Benefit! What is a kick time guarantee? Post season ticket priority? You can always go online and get cheaper and better tickets from their odd priority point system that as a new ticket holder you will be at the back of the line. RESELL THE TICKETS? This is the biggest joke. The stadium is at best during the best weather and best team on eh schedule, half filled. No one is buying your overpriced tickets with fancy mesh seats.
  6. This AD is a joke.
  7. They don't care about you. Sorry to break the news.
  8. ChatGPT gave this: "The poster respectfully disagrees with a mindset that presumes everyone wants to play in the NFL, highlighting the subjective nature of personal values in contrast to the NFL's attempts to establish a D-League. They argue that athletes have diverse aspirations, such as pursuing careers in professional wrestling or exploring opportunities in various football leagues, emphasizing the need to consider alternative paths beyond the NFL. Additionally, the poster criticizes the overemphasis on the value of a college degree, pointing out the decreasing worth of degrees in the current educational landscape and advocating for exploring unconventional career paths."
  9. ?But fREe SpeEcH !!1EleVen!?
  10. Cal has 1.2M in their NIL bank that only got there from a matching donation of 500k. They are not swimming in fan money and they are certainly not paying a 5 time transferee from North Texas for one year of service the big payout.
  11. It's so to heavy with a small number of players getting the 7 figure deal that it skews the numbers. There's no way they make that money. Ethan Miner, !?!
  12. They will see a QB that hadn't had any success at the four other schools and in a Morris 'system' put up some good numbers. He wasn't all conference and we didn't make a bowl game. No one is paying him a million dollars for one year on their team. He isn't a national name that is going to make a splash for any program to put butts in seats or will sizzle on TV.
  13. No one is giving him a million dollars. That's nonsense.
  14. If you go look at his stats here, he wasn't *truly* the world beater everyone here likes to think. He is like Maclin, had a good season. Yes, I think he should have stayed here, but IMO it doesn't hurt his potential earnings since Auburn has more WRs in the league and has more opportunity to get in front of scout eyes.
  15. Rogers is really fun to watch. Aune destroyed my QB will. Rogers has healed it.
  16. I think the other team always thinks they're up big enough they can start passing. UAB will start running again now. Just my layman's eye
  17. Are we here to talk football or just practice your rally cries? If I were their fans, I would be upset with the OC and HC. That's all I said.
  18. They averaged 4.3 a carry. They needed to keep carrying the ball with that average and control the clock. Ole Dickey ball. The best defense against us is to keep our offense on the sidelines. They ended up having to pass more (and thus be ok and still score 28 points) because they didn't run the ball on first downs. They kept trying to get cute because they thought they had a gunslinger on their hands who was ready to make a statement.
  19. Tulsa OC called a moronic game. They needed to run on first downs and just keep running. When they passed on first and it was incomplete, then it setup a situation where the biggest weakness of our team was not exposed. In obvious pass plays, we don't worry about the run and we have a fighting chance. Tulsa could have beaten us badly had they just called the obvious game plan against us.
  20. Definitely a great game to get 800 recruits in front of all the empty seats and echoing soundboard.
  21. It isn't surprising though - since teams like UNT spot all of their opponents a victory. Teams like SMU hand all their opponents losses. So it will almost always appear that the good teams played a soft schedule, unless everyone in the league is hovering around .500.
  22. No, you must not be listening. They keep telling us that the team is finally buying in.
  23. So perfect! Late to start, dropped early.
  24. Just keep running. That is all it takes. Tulane, Memphis and UTSA forgot that basic tenet.
