All About UNT

According to my summations....you are correct

Turned it around and then some....minus their TAMU loss I don't think they have a loss this year and have really put the hurt onto some teams they play. Guy is an all around catch. Not gonna compare him with TCU and BSU's situation but if there were one Texan looking to break out and make a big name for himself then this is the guy that can do it. We can afford him easily as well.

Look where some of the Blinn players have been going when they sign. If we can't beat out the Big 12 teams by recruiting high school students then by picking up both Frans we can utilize those connections to siphon off players we wouldn't have had a chance to recruit anyway. Last year's Texas JC commits

Then let me throw mine into the lot.... JC Harper of SFA if we are going to pick a IIA coach primed for the IA leap.

Here is the list of the Sunbelt Conference and current salaries Sunbelt Salaries According to my statistical calculations At 600k a year we would be 200k over the next highest paid coach (Mario Cristobal at FIU) I see no reason why we can't get a solid coach at 500k or less.... The last coaching jobs that Fran applied for was at UNLV (350k before incentives with up to 450k a year) and before UNLV there was SDSU where Holke currently makes 675k.

Coach Fran for HC and his son for DC. This would allow us two winning coaches to transition us into winners and would also make for a huge PR splash.

My vote goes with the Sooners....who kept referring to TD's first game and how we were so stupid for thinking we could beat them and that the highlight of TD's career was pushing the OU QB out of bounds. Soonerville... You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy

We truly appreciate you taking the time you have in the last couple days to keep us in the loop and up to speed RV. Keep it up por favor!

you are going somewhere with this.....

585,000 in the Metro....and there are 600,000+ in Denton County. You can subtract about 200,000 of those in that they are in areas far closer to Dallas than Denton but still there is a sizable population in close driving vicinity that should and can be harnessed to get attached to the school. I like the thought of putting up MG banners across the city (not just the square) to get the brand all over the city of Denton (110,000+ people). I also like somehow associating the area with the school (i.e. "THE PRIDE OF NORTH TEXAS) or even down to the county level. Nienas validated (as RV mentioned yest) what we all knew and gave us the 3rd Party perspective to get funding approved for these projects. All this talk in funding means I will be answering the next fundraiser call (rather than ignore) and prob shell out again. You should too. $5-$1 Million...a gift is a gift.

and these are all things that have been expressed on this board as well...and have some truth to them. I don't believe he had stated that Bower would not come here...but more like whether or not he would be effective. Even if someone mentioned that Bower wouldn't come here there can be truth in that statement....he has not left that area since pre-college and is deeply ingrained in the community of Hattiesburg.

One of them just mentioned that Canales might be a good option. They keep saying "why are we not like Boise St??" "We have a ton of opportunity". Good and long discussion here with callers calling in too. They keep harping on finding a young up and coming coach that can build his career not someone who has been proven in the past (i.e. Fran and Leach). They also mentioned how Bower is too much of a gamble....that he may not be hungry enough for this position. Again...they keep saying young and hungry coach that can prove himself (like ACU's coach).

Still talking about it

Hi Mrs. Canales! How are you liking Denton so far? J/k buddy...

HURRAH!!

gotta love how he mentioned the poll and the comments made today about emulating Southern Miss. LOL... good humor Rick

read that Jim's teams have always had massive penalty issues....just saying

No to him...in that he only posts 1 yr at each school he has been to.

Anyone????

whats the over-under on RV making the right pick?

Zombie Landry....I thought we already decided he was the only pick??

Look up Akron and their first season attendance in their new stadium ......starts off great but then dwindles horribly due to losses...this is my fear

Bring out the cat o' nine tails!
