Had no idea my thread about CUSA’s new media rights deal would turn into a dick measuring contest but I guess that’s internet message boards for you

I'd rather our championship hopes not come down to a do or die game at Rice. I think Seth knows this is a last stand and hope the effort shows

Curious who the last OOC game is going to be ....

https://unoprivateers.com/news/2022/11/9/general-university-of-new-orleans-students-reject-proposed-student-experience-fee.aspx I remember the fierce debate we had on campus in 2008 about our student service fees... imagine if that didnt pass.

I don’t think he means that as an insult.

One thing that works against them is they play at Raymond James… which is well off campus. Ucf passed em in short order thanks to winning and commitments to growing facilities

On January 8, 2010, Leavitt was fired after an investigation by USF officials found that he had struck a player in the locker room during halftime of a game against Louisville the previous November 21. Leavitt claimed he was merely trying to console the player and never struck him. School officials found that Leavitt was not truthful about what happened, and also found that he had interfered with the investigation.[7] ESPN's Ivan Maisel reported that Leavitt's interference, which included telling several players and coaches to change their stories, was the biggest factor in the decision to fire him.[8] The Tampa Tribune reported that school president Judy Genshaft and athletic director Doug Woolard felt they had no choice but to fire Leavitt after he refused to admit he had done anything wrong.[9] Running backs coach Carl Franks was named interim coach of the Bulls[10] until January 14, 2010, when Skip Holtz was hired as head coach.[11]

It's the same in the corporate world. There are floor raisers, and ceiling raisers, and. those who specialize in stabilizing unstable (there's a corporate word or term here and I am missing it) situations Seth just passed DD in wins, but let's be honest... a 43-42 record doesn't move the needle when it comes to Texas, and the greater south football.

You’ve gotta win early at unt. Otherwise people lose interest

Appreciate this post. He’s the second highest paid conference (formerly the highest by a wide margin). I expect him to perform like that. what’s his CUSA record? What’s his record in bowl games? He’s currently 1-4 against future aac teams (win against fau and I count unlv as a higher conference team as well) we can appreciate what he did this year but also understand this is the standard for what we’re paying him

I think some of you are mistaken as to what a "golden age" actually means.

Soccer is losing in the semifinals to UTSA so...... no

Lol I’ve kinda heard the exact same thing. Met him at a tailgate and thought he was kind of a dodo

We want anarchy. Storm Apogee. Pillage the field and bring the remnants back where Fouts stood so students don’t have to walk the extra 5 minutes across I-35. we want to bring back the past. Dig up Odus Mitchell’s grave! Have his corpse upright on the sideline! Then and only then we will have a winning coach, the ultimate standard bearer gracing us with his illuminating presence! Better yet, abolish the forward pass at UnT for we are running back university! ok back to reality tv now

Too many people on this board take too many things way too seriously

I know Scrappy has been our mascot for many years. But to me, it seems that their (playing into modern gender roles here) disinterest and general apathy when it comes to firing up the crowd really make a difference on how students and five year olds going to their first games feel about UNT The players treat them as a barrier to get around during warmups...and the dancing often portrays someone that has a less than healthy relationship with the product on the field. The coaches caravans (when they feel like coming) and other community events have a different feel, but they just seem off when it comes to their full support of UNT. Is it time for a new mascot for UNT? I'm sure that Scrappy is a nice eagle and I wish them no harm, especially since Eagles are considered endangered species (both the animal and the fickle UNT football fan). But it seems to me that some positive energy and more hip thrusting during games couldn't hurt!

I'm frustrated about the losses but I'm more frustrated is that in many of them, especially in recent years, we haven't been competitive.

These are all clickbait..........

We talk about standards but odus Mitchell was also 60 years ago. if we really want to play technicalities than technically Seth has raised the standard- minimum 6 wins at unt and a bowl bid. To do more, we have to find a bar raiser

I was just about to post this. We feature him, but nothing on the ESPN article about us.

I still am one to believe that we dont end up sharing a conference with them unfortunately. They'll find a way out. Also, you can have more than 1 rival. Helps with excitement throughout the season.

SMU is not different. We've gotten our butts whooped by them the past 3 years and 7 of the past nine. We dont compete too much in other sports and they dont care nor do they draw well. I know we want them to be a rival but they dont care UTSA is different. Series is 5-4, there have been blowouts the last 3 years but each game has brought some significance of wrecking the others season. We also compete against each other in other sports- we lead all of em but its pretty close I think. Theyre the ones that will fill Apogee when they come- not SMU, their fans support the program and theyre a big public institution too. I'd love SMU to be a rival but we have to win more and they have to care too. UTSA is a fun rival - let's embrace it.

playing the sensitive central texas alum card and wont be able to make it due to a number of reasons but will be watching. Everyone going should go to the alumni association tailgate: https://untalumni.com/events/unt-vs-utsa-tailgate/

Honestly wouldn’t be sad at all if/when PB leaves. Little too old school for me.
