UNTexas

There's a very real chance we lose every single game this year. Anyone recall the last time this happened? I personally think we lose all of them if we can't beat UTSA this week. And the arrogant AD still thinks he keeps his job because he says he has things left to do. Any university who takes sports seriously would have fired his arrogant ass already. That interview last week still enrages me. He may only like a few fans and that's fines because the masses bailed on his disaster. Anyone, I digress, don't burn any redshirts. This season is already over.

I totally agree. His old school approach to clock control and delayed run plays is dated. The rules have changed and made football more pass friendly. His insistence to only play McNulty meant passing was out of the question. Not to mention our line isn't good enough to dominate anyone enough to ground pound the ball. The one season Mac won he did so with a great defense. Not his offense. In the end the simplest way of looking at it is he lost the respect of his players and his football philosophy failed. Then he got frustrated and shot his mouth off publicly. He was a class act when he was fired though. I hope we hire a young hungry coach.

I'd he needs to learn to throw it away too.

The second Mac said that quote at Rudy's I knew he was done. What a chicken shit quote from your head coach. The players, their families, and recruits heard it. And people were shocked the players stopped playing for him.

So terrible. Senseless.

This is going to be ugly.

Sorry. It's not that simple. The coaches and AD with the staff are a team too. If you don't get that then you don't know how it works.

This is another illustration of the failure of our athletic department. Winning teams expand the brand of universities. Our President knows this. So do ya'll. We continue to be bottom feeders so no one pays attention. If we had success and cracked the top 25 in a revenue sport on a regular basis then people would know who we are. However, we are irrelevant in sports and are treated accordingly in the sports circles.

The buck stops where?

This is Texas. Take the rain whenever you can.

To not let football and basketball suck.

How much needs to be raised to fly it at the UTEP game? In case they forget to fire RV.

I think the banner shows there are passionate people who care.

False. I wore a UNT polo the other day. All day long people commented how brave I was to wear that, or your school needs to drop football, or why did you go there, or I'd burn the shirt. That was from people that aren't my friends. You should hear my friends. It's an embarrassment to the university and all it alumni.

Me not buying my girls their 15th UNT shirt has zero to do with the AD. It has everything to do with being exhausted of the endless embarrassment and failures of an athletic department that both their parents played for. I'll always enjoy Denton and UNT but athletics are the only thing that keeps my friends coming back to Denton. It's a pain with everyone scattered and with work/family obligations. No one is going to go out of their way for this product. The fun has sadly ended because this leaderless department has run everyone off. Including club level season ticket holders. Yes, I'm pissed off and I'm not buying my kids their 16th UNT shirt to spill ketchup on because I'll blow my money elsewhere while I'm mad. The whole thing sucks.

56-21 Marshall. Offenses rape us.

Station? And dido he publicly resign?

I feel the same. My girls asked me to buy them UNT Athletics shirts the other day when we were shopping. Nope. Not until something changes. Every time the AD speaks I get angrier.

During the Great Fire of Rome Nero watched from his palace on the Palatine Hill singing and playing the lyre. Just saying history repeats itself. Sigh, shiiiiiit....

For some perspective, I've put nice guys in prison. They were guilty of their crimes though.

A "Fire RV" banner flying over an empty stadium is a great protest. Now is the Winter of our discontent... (Please don't begin a Richard III debate. Freaking UNT people.)

Have our been to any of the tailgates in Denton? In 5 or 10 years guys will be claiming the airplane strafed the press box at their command.

Correction. Great grand kids.

I myself really like Helwig. He is a good man too. I think back then he was fighting a serious uphill battle against the university who was uninterested in supporting athletics. He did the most with very limited resources. In my opinion he was far superior at being an AD than RV. He hired much better coaches, absolutely scheduled better, and was an important part of getting us back into Division 1. Times were tough back then in concern to support for the team. We have come a long way and the current management takes it for granted. Seeing that our schedule was so poorly planned we only have 2 more home games. So... All my friends backed out of all the games so the Mrs and I aren't highly motivated now. It's ashame because I love going to the games and having an excuse to drink beer with my friends. They've taken all the fun out of it. My girls are my priority anyways and I do multiple games on Saturdays. They win too! I was going to have them dress up and go to the UTSA game but we are going to trick or treat in our neighborhood now. They are only little once so I want them to have fun. That leaves UTEP on Thanksgiving weekend and we'll likely be sitting at 0-11. I really don't like UTEP and don't want to see us get stomped by them again. It's probably best if the stadium is empty anyway. Not that it will change anything. The whole thing is just sad.

I read this entire thread and the only conclusion I've made is I'm not attending anymore football games and it sucks. It's pointless to get upset about this team. UNT football is a disaster, regardless of who thinks they know what or what side of the fence you're on about this AD our team is garbage. Recruiting will be really tough moving forward so it will get worse before it gets better. If it every gets consistently better. There is absolutely no leadership at UNT and I'm not wasting another Saturday for this nonsense.
