I am sure PMG will be glad to! Can't wait till emmitt01 gives him a bit of static with his own microphone.

Sometimes the assistants are as valuable as the HC!

I find it interesting that when someone such as Canales does a positive thing, such as the T-Shirts, some people find a way to turn it into a negative. I found it quite refreshing to hear of such a move by the coach and was very appreciative of it. No, I did not receive one, but that does not change my opinion of the situation. No, I am not kin to Canales, nor had I even heard of him prior to his arrival here. But what I have done is sought out the man and congratulated him on what he has been able to do so far. Yes, I did have to step away from the comforts of the office chair, make myself presentable to be in public and gather the energy to do so, but I felt it was the right thing to do. Perhaps I even waited for the team buses to arrive after the Western game and congratulated them on their win. Some on here could benefit by putting their money where their mouth is and take a little effort and do some good. Complaining while sitting on your arse does no good. Go see the coach, players and RV. Tell them good job, show them some appreciation and ask the questions that you have. You might just be surprised at what you hear and then you won't have to keep typing about the likes of Leach, Franchionne, Bower, Leavitt and all of your favorite has beens. Because if you did as I suggested, you would know that RV has the feeling that none of those fit what he wants. Leavitt's legal baggage is excessive, Bower has gotten to old, Leach is waiting to check into rehab for anger management (Laugh it is a joke), and Fran does not fit the bill. In the end, we are still in the Sun Belt. Like it or not, a dose of reality says we cannot touch certain coaches. The above mentioned are easily touched with the right paycheck. Others need more than that and at this time, we simply can't even find their telephone number! Let's be thankful for what we have in our hand before we s@#t in the other. You don't have to believe me, as I don't expect you to. But you owe it to yourself to ask those in the know. RV is not hard to miss at the games. He would be the guy with graying hair and a turkey in the oven! Having love for a program is one thing. Having love and realistic expectations is another. In the mean time, sit back and relax. You are not the deciding factor anyway! Note: If you are offended by what I have written here, I must apologize. It is simply an observation and opinion. Harry, thanks for the efforts in making such a venue possible. It is greatly appreciated.

This isn't a marriage (Cheaper to keep er'). Time to cut the cord!

Tyler moved after he spent his required time at Victory. I am thinking the JC transfers are also required to spend a year at Victory. Some of you would be amazed at what goes on with these players at their apartments and the trouble that arises, then some of you already know. I just hate it when Dodge tries to cover up the truth by simply saying a player is leaving the program for XYZ. If he would tell the truth outright, then everyone would know the exact reason and not try to guess as to what really happened. If they all lived at Victory, yes there would be more discipline about them, but if you want them to be men, then treat them so. If they hang themselves with the rope they are given then that is their problem.

Please cleanse the muddy tears in RV's eyes so that he can see to find us a new coach very soon. And sensous listening, please let us have wine (uh beer...pretty please) at the new house! Ok run, lighting may strike now!

It was nice to see the stands filled for the game. I know the team appreciated the support.

Simple as this: Being a HC is like being a CEO. If you cannot produce, you are thrown out the door. It is time to take all the personal, lovey dovey stuff out of it and go find a new coach who can make it happen. You cannot possibly enter a new season, going into an entirely new stadium, expecting great things with the same ole' song and dance. Here we have an entirely new venue that brings excitement, only to be potentially drowned by the disappointment in the leadership of the team (main attraction). Winning is exciting, losing is what we have now. Folks, we need a HC that will make men out of boys, ratchet it up in the weight room and practices and kick their tails when they are not performing correctly. TD came in with the High School attitude, told the players they could not cuss, set curfews for them and treated them like High School players. All of this blew up in his face and for the last five years we have seen the product it has turned out. Good players have simply left the program because of this babysitter attitude. Constantly, the other coaches are making excuses for this type of "Leadership". We need a coach with an iron fist and a mouth of a sailor who wants nothing but success through example. Enough of the diapers and baby powder! Some will talk about how the GPA's have improved, how the players interact more with the fans, etc. but if you get a winning team alot of that stuff simply falls in place. These players are beaten down so bad, the injured one's act as if they could care less about not traveling with the team to away games to even provide support. Don't believe it, drive over to Victory Hall and take one out for a bite to eat. You will become educated quickly, but not surprised in the end! We need a HC that is atleast proven at the collegiate level. TD simply cannot cut hot butter at this level. He truly has no good interaction with the community on a steady basis, is not seen out in the Denton community except only on the highway burning it up from home to work and back. He lost my support when he failed to seek the continued support of the fans. He has only done the minimal on campus and that was when he was prodded by RV. We need excitement, starting at the student level, then the community. We need fans to be inside of the stadium, not at their tailgating spot watching other teams on tv. It is a sad day when on Friday nights at Clark Park, a Pep Rally has more Athletic Staff present than Coaches and Players. Simply disgusting. Further, how many thousand students live in the dorms and there is free food and drink to go along with the Rally and we only have a few hundred show up. We have a problem and it all rests on the shoulders of the coach. That is what he gets paid for and the job entails more than simply coaching the team. Time to kick this thing in high gear and get a coach worth a nickel (and pay him), and get some excitement going. I don't want to hear about what could have been. We see what we got and now it is time to go get the real deal. Let's cut our losses and move along. Don't make it personal, make it realistic.

I hate to say it, but the player's morale is seeming pretty low about Riley leading them. Of course you can't blame them when everything they have prepared for this season concerning the long ball is out the window. I forsee DD flashbacks with the ball being ran alot. My only concern is Dunbar not being given the ball versus Riley trying to become flashy!

Obviously this report was very disappointing to many of us. Hopefully, somewhere in the fine workings of Athletics, the real word was spoken and the BOR were told exactly what needed to be said. I think Rawlins clearly selected this man to do the study and field the report simply because he would speak with his "style", stating what was in the best interest of UNT. Only time will tell and I am sure there is more to be leaked from the "Official" version.
