He is hopefully going to be the 2019 class QB isn't he?

I'm sure people "know" but that doesn't mean they have any idea what is done/discussed on here. The point that I'm trying to make is that GMG.com is very very underused for a site that has such a strong following for UNT sports... It can be used for fan outreach with fixing issues, marketing events and promos, and just flat out as a way to communicate with alumni. Yes companies pay large amounts of $ (and its something UNT just recently started doing) to find out such things like UNT fans are more likely to shop at store XYZ than ABC, but again the problem with posting on Twitter/Facebook is yes everyone has one but so does everyone else.. When anyone is on facebook/twitter you scroll and you see things from tens, hundreds of other people and stuff loses its ability to stick out.. Using GMG.com as a site that people come here for 1 thing, UNT content/discussion.. Posting on GMG may only reach 100-200 people but the people it reaches will have a bigger affect on them then student xyz that is just scrolling through their twitter/facebook timeline in terms of the % that they draw. I have used this as an example but last year, UNT sent out an email about free tickets to the SM(southern miss) game at the end of the year to some select list of people. Someone on the board here, posted the email and it lead to more people being aware and likely using it.. I know from experience that 1 email that was posted on here from whoever, has lead 3 new season ticket holders and it wasn't because of UNT athletics, it was because of the random user. (Again, thank you to the random user that did that just like thank you to austin for bring the MGC topic of this thread to WB and Peeks attention for it to be fixed.) The reasons to use GMG.com far out-weigh the likely problems with it, and thats why Vito does it.. He posts a link knowing that most people aren't going to the Denton RC page every day, or his twitter.. but he knows if he posts on here he will get fans that wanna read and get informed to his stories. Yes using it you may run into some problems, but those are issues that if they a raise they can be fixed or directed to someone, similar to the MGC thing that started the post. I agree, and the AD office doesn't need someone that is on here 24/7 or have it the only job they do. They just need someone who can assist in getting people help, just like how Austin took a screenshoot, tweeted it at WB and WB admitted to what was likely the cause and directed to who can fix it. This should not be the job of the AD to know who can/can't fix something and why it would be smart to find someone who could be that person to assist. I do agree, the asking for feedback can be fixed simply just by doing things on here or directing feedback directly to people who should be alerted to it.. I'm going to say GMG.com is not a huge % of the fan base, but it likely makes up some of the most committed of the fan base that could help fix many/some issues. Not everyone knows... I know this first hand.. I've brought it up as a way of being used as a way to market things from events, promotions, gather data and information, and a way to give away free stuff. Yes GMG.com can be used ALOT better by the entire athletic department, and I think everyone is aware of what Harry and others do, but they can only do so much.. It shouldn't be someone gets a email and they then post it on here, it should be the department posts on here to get the message out... I would say 99.9% of us on this board have some connection to UNT with us being students/alumni/ etc.. Use this as a way to reach out to people, its free and you know the target audience here is for UNT. He has said he came on here 1 time before he got the gig, so he is aware of and I'm sure others personal are such as Hank, Clapper, etc are aware of it as well.. I wouldn't fight that and I don't think any else would, but the argument is about the amount of information that is known between them in terms of what is posted on here.. If they are aware of it, they are doing a terrible job in terms of using GMG.com as a tool because many people have no idea about it (or claim to not know about it).

You email them, but won't email the AD office? Lol

Some people know.. and WB has even talked about how he visited it once.. yea the old-timers likely know it, but I know plenty of people new and old that have never heard of it because I've discussed it with them (in the Athletic Department) as a way to market to fans.. Again it's easy to complain and point out flaws on here, not like the crap is getting fixed... if you want it fixed do something about it because apparently the people who do view board haven't fixed many things since we still have problems with the audio, tickets, dates and times for events... I mean we posted about the lack of knowledge of the MGC club on here and nothing, but it took a tweet from Austin for it to be fixed with WB directly replying and Ryan Peek seeking out the individual to fix it himself.. but hey let's keep posting problems here, it's worked in the past! (Not) There is some knowledge of it likely with guys like Hank, Clapper, etc and even WB has admitted to visiting it once before he was hired. but the new personal have no idea.. I've brought it up to multiple people as a way to literally post about events, get information from fans, etc and they (people in the office) had never heard of it..

Means has switched #s from 13 to 23...

Autographs were set up by gate 3 under the scoreboard

Just going to say, thank you @AustinFromUNT for contacting WB and the staff about this.. Contacting the AD Office is the only way to get things to change and for issues to be fixed... Not to bash/attack/ or be a smart-remark to anyone but if you find a flaw or error contact the AD Office to get it fixed, most people in the AD office likely have no idea about this site so issues such as this will never be fixed and more people in the future will have issues in the future. Everyone here wants to see UNT improve and directing worries/problems to the staff will only see things improve...

O'Hara I'm pretty sure is not with the team anymore.. it was likely a photo that will be used for recruiting.. that they will just change out the O'Hara name for something else

Yes but again those were in pursuit of him trying to get a HC gig... UNT has alot going for it and if he plays it correctly.. he could be in line for something bigger.. Media market, alumni base, taken a team that was 1-11 before he got here to multiple bowls and etc would look great... also seeing the facilities as well improve, and attendance as well would bold well for him.. Also SL having a young family and being very close to home is an appeal for him as well I would think....

UT locker-room though compared to ours

Not to make excuses but they have recently just hired a bunch of new employees throughout all of the AD offices.. I know it may hurt but if you still have an idea or thought to donate, try calling the MGC and I'm sure they will have someone who will walk you through everything. Also, the MGC office is just on the other side of gate 2 from ticket/clothing shop if you were at Apogee.

I hope that they would be made to available.. Multiple different items could be done by the team shops to make extra $ from these mini-helmets, to frame photos, etc..

No idea about your level of knowledge on twitter or if it was misstated but just me following someone does not mean they can see what i post... The individual would have to follow me to see what i post.

I was shocked too because of how he performed last year, compared to Hall being a unknown in terms of what he can do in C-USA... The individual that said it was talking with hank, who was doing his 2-Deep depth chart.. They did not give a yes or no to who would be opposite nate because Jenkins was still in the area near by..

I think Hall may have passed Jenks, from what i heard being said around the building

Gameday for Army will be fun... UNT has some stuff coming up from Fort Hood for the game.. Army has 3 different organizations as well that are saying they will bring fans.. 1 group is thinking they will have around 900 people alone that will be at the game, but that number even a few weeks ago was over 1k, so not sure what they will actually bring but the reps for Army are making it sound like it will be a solid turnout from them... -------------------------------------- Also, no idea if anyone is aware of it.. But UNT has a concessions twitter (not sure if anyone cares) but they have posted different things that will be having this year and info like popcorn cups can be refilled etc..

It's been thought he would miss around 6 weeks with that bringing him back around UAB/SM.... if he misses UAB, his first home game will be UTSA. Just saying but that maybe a large crowd because of UTSA, but also to see English as well (hopefully)

I wanna say 6 weeks would be the Iowa game, but it maybe best to have him seat out that just because of the pounding he could take and allow it another week to heal.. Also, another new weapon to hopefully unleash on UAB, or at worst SM/UTSA.. Would love for Bryce to come in and manhandle UTSA..

While some people maybe upset about the no 250 donation, no one has said anything yet... Just realize it's better to have a butt in the seat and it's a limited # of seats.. also, hopefully this will encourage other fans to buy those seats next year as well

17 was Wilson (I'm pretty sure), and wore it I believe because of 2017( but just a guess).

They did photos similar to Quinn's for most all of the guys that will contribute this year. Fine had his taken just like this for Quinn, and Fine did other video clips to pump up the crowd Quinn was just in earlier than most of the other guys..

English should only miss around 6 weeks... Goal should be UAB, if not Southern Miss with his first home game vs UTSA if he can't make back for UAB

They will also mis-match and put green on white/black etc as well

Even better in person

He should be up and walking in the next day or two and off the crutches.
