  1. He retweeted (on Halloween) a wrestling match being held on Halloween. Doesn't really feel like lack of support of UNT or a slap in the face to me.
  2. Promoting UNT’s homecoming football game is actually in the other duties as assigned list of job responsibilities for the mayor, in my opinion. In other words, it’s way down the list of things I want my mayor worried about. Homecoming is about alums and the school has to be the primary marketer for that. If someone from UNT picked up the phone and asked him to retweet something about Homecoming, my guess is he would do it.
  3. If you actually take the time to look at his tweets and retweets, you’ll see that he does promote UNT. Seriously, go look. There are tweets about being at football practice, in-game retweets, retweets celebrating Hank’s basketball championship ring. I’ve seen him at games with his family. I think you’re off on this.
  4. Just because students once upon a time wanted to build floats and participate in the parade doesn’t mean they do in 2022. If students were asking to do this, I would bet it would happen.
  5. My guess is it has less to do with sustainability than it does lack of student interest. If I’m a frat and can spend money on a killer tailgate party for my chapter and our alums coming into town or build a float that a few of our alums might show up to see, I’m throwing a tailgate party. My guess would be other student orgs have similar views.
  6. Nor should he
  7. I know there’s a lot of chatter on here about winning a conference championship/bowl, but I think you offer the extension if he ends the regular season 8-4. That’s exactly why I’ve been in the wait and see how this season plays out. To me at 8-4 he’s coming back no matter what happens in the post season, so get the extension out there to keep recruiting on track. If they finish 7-5 and end up in the championship game somehow, you probably wait it out to see how they look in the championship game. 6-6 is going to be gut check time for Wren. And in all reality, if there’s an extension, it will probably be a standard extension without any new bells and whistles. That’s just the way it goes with coach contracts.
  8. This is just not true. Most schools have team gear they don’t sell to the public right away. They may sell it after the season or once the sidelines move on to something else, but most schools have team-specific gear.
  9. Mean Green 34 UTSA 24
  10. Mason Fine got a COVID year?
  11. Let’s be real. Outside of a game or two a year, the home side doesn’t look a whole lot better than the student side. The home side would have been just as embarrassing at the La Tech game. And that WKU logo facing the visitor side is just weird.
  12. From the NCAA website: The senior woman administrator is the highest-ranking female in each NCAA athletics department or conference office. The purpose of the SWA designation is to promote meaningful representation of women in the leadership and management of college sports.
  13. These are slick! Can't wait to see them Saturday!
  14. I think you're right. I'm sure search firms could potentially have some names to share with Wren that they've heard could be interested. I think the main reason most AD's and coaches want to use search firms is to avoid freedom of information requests that could put their business out there in the news.
  15. When I worked for the state, it was 5 consecutive business days. Is it different for coaches?
  16. Page 46 extends SL to January 31, 2024 and Pages 47-48 show his comp numbers through the 2023 season.
  17. I think you guys are underestimating how much the Lovelaces love UNT and how much they understand sports. When the time comes to make a decision on SL, I think they’ll be on board. Their business isn’t as successful as it is from not being able to make hard decisions.
  18. It’s funny to me this thread even exists. This team is 2-1 with a really good chance to get to 3-1 by the end of today.
  19. I think the Super Pit has run its course. It's time to modernize. I would definitely not call it a great venue.
  20. That's fair. I'm fine with that.
  21. Still my ranking of priorities for this athletic department: Athletic Center Expansion New Basketball/Volleyball Arena with a real practice facility attached New Softball Stadium Baseball/whatever needs to happen in Women's Sports to make Baseball happen The only way Baseball rises for me is if there are enough new dollars to fully fund the stadium/operations for multiple years into the future raised up front. Because Baseball loses money, I'm not a fan of adding it until the deficit can be covered into the future. This athletic department already needs student fees to pay the bills, and with the rising cost of collegiate education, increasing student fees to pay for baseball is off the table in my book.
  22. You've got to spend money to make money
  23. I honestly think Texas will win that game by as many points as they want to. That defense is salty, and with the way the Texas O-Line pushed around Bama, it may not even matter who Texas plays at QB against UTSA.
  24. I wonder if this is related to the SEC telling their schools scheduled to play OU/TX in 2023 to not play those games. It's looking more and more like OU/TX are joining the SEC in 2023.
