  1. Again Baker did not give TB his 5th year.. WB gave him the benefit of the doubt to coach and see what could happen on top of the AD already paying 3 buyouts. It's also shows WB did not trust the guys to replace TB. I do agree that Tech is nice, so is UH.. We may not like the Army series but I think it was worth keeping even in the future when UNT is hopefully a lot better team. Yes Liberty is odd becuse Liberty has agreed to games and paid schools very large amounts as well. The donations and that will come once we win. It's also good to see the school pouring its own money into the programs. When fans see and witness they are doing there part it will led to fans doing there's. Also, the free tickets to recent grads will hopefully show to them even a small amount goes a long way. Hopefully a success season last year will led to more people at football games and people will come out to see the basketball games as well which will have a nice bump in terms of income/revenue.
  2. He has no other offers.. Thus according to his own breakdown means he won't have any success.
  3. Busted for calling escort services..
  4. Its not an excuse at all... It is presenting facts about the situation.... We haven't seen UAB play, so how do we know they are a cakewalk? They have been able to pick up a large # of recruits and some talented one on top of that (multiple kids from the Last Chance U Netflix show) and have been practicing for multiple years as well. We have the game experience over them but outside of that its near even. The fans need to come out because this as of now, is not a cakewalk till we see them play. Beating UAB is a must when it comes to getting to 6 wins but this is far from the Portland State match up.
  5. Would have liked them to do this/ announced this back in May, but better late than never... Send out a print out with there degree. Have them call and say that they were interested, get a # and how many tickets and then around this time is when we should be calling them to confirm/mail out the ticket information for them to come pick them up.
  6. WB didn't promise baseball... your man crush RV did, so again you fail... You're literally this boards #FakeNews blaming WB for your promises made my RV.. WB says he wants baseball here but he isn't going to dump millions of dollars on a start up sport when our current sports are in a terrible condition... I mean honestly if you're house was falling apart you would fix it but no you are talking about going out and expanding onto the house and leaving the rest of the house to be fixed later, literally this argument over baseball is pointless. Big plans and no results, I literally named off things and you had no reply to any of them! How do you know that there is 0 accountability? Please see me some proof because it has been show that WB reshuffled and moved the old personal around and brought in HIS people. You posted after you said you were done LOL WB never said that he was going to come in and just fire everyone, so again #FakeNews with that promise... You can say that we have no proof that they have improved, and you have 0 proof that they are doing the same, so that argument is pointless... WB hasn't even been here a year and you are crying about unfilled promises? LOL look at the list i posted above of the stuff he has done in less than 1 year... Start using your head, and stop trying to be 90 who doesn't think... as @GMG24 said look at the expansion that they are doing, and they are likely going to be doing some of it during football season, so that adds to the length of time as well. Rome wasn't built in a day, the logic of thinking this huge expansion would be quick is below you.
  7. UAB has been able to practice as well for now 2 offseasons... This isn't a team that is just being thrown together and then ran onto the field 5-6 weeks later...We can say that they lack game experience but these guys will be hungry and talented and looking to prove people wrong who think they are an easy W.
  8. You must live in a vacuum... You have no idea the process or what is being done with past personal either, but of course you wanna cry about something All staff that WB has done in 11 months: Buying out and hiring GMac, Bringing multiple new personal for new positions, Do outreach with recent grads by offering free tickets, Increase the staffing budget for football, Announce plans for a new Soccer/Track Stadium, Have plans coming soon for the IPF and Athletic Center remodel... Also, under his watch we had the BIGGEST football camp as well with over 1k in athletes that came up to denton
  9. Moses starts at one of the OGs and Newman challenges at C...Weatherspoon will RS because he still recovering from the ACL, Brammer is moving for TE to OT, Parish gets a year to RS and learn OT as well... It will be interesting with the JUCO guys Mose and Pahinui Thats what I think they should do.. Also having 2 weeks of practice for the bowl game will be huge for them as well. The true freshman
  10. Worth noting that SL was critical of OL and WRs from last year, and the 3rd down defense as well.. SL breakouts says to expect big things from Rico and Guyton as well.
  11. He came in drinking from a damn firehouse starting 2-3 weeks before the start of school and the football season. The man wasn't even able to review everything before the seasons start for each sport and the budget had no input from himself! RV left this place as a dumpster fire with him keeping around TB, and apparently having the lack of confidence as well by the President as well. How can we say that he has not he doesn't have goals? How is that WB in his first 11 months has been given the OK to spend 500k on a buy out for HIS basketball coach, Increase the staffing budget of the football staff, seen multiple new positions created in the AD Office and new spots as well on different staffs (Digital Content, Recruiting Coord, etc), heck WB even redid the contract of our Soccer coach... they even announced the building of a new soccer/track stadium, which we can debate if its worthy or not but soccer has been the most successful and track is in having to practice at High Schools. Yes the roll out of the stadium was terrible because they told recruits and players it would be started and finished by xyz date and it has not. The IPF will be a huge thing for this department, program, and this entire university as well, and RV was here for how long and our facilities went to crap (outside of Apogee). I have been on the side of disappointed as well when it comes to the process of announcing the IPF because it something that has taken many months for this to happen (it was brought up during the football season last year, with them visiting other campus earlier this year as well) but they need to learn from the Soccer/Track Stadium and get this right. Get every single detail perfect and not something that a year or 2 after its built that we are doing updating for. We can ask for current numbers when it comes to things yes, but he has given multiple different solutions. Free Season Tickets to recent grads, yes we can debate if it smart but hell we have 8k in recent grads and over 10k in open seats, if ever grad shows up that had free tickets we would still have openings.
  12. They are more of a wildcard than anything. They have been able to recruit and I believe they have been able to practice as well. Its good we are getting them early in the season when they are hopefully still trying to figure out who can and can't play and some guys hopefully will still have those early seeing gitters like we did vs. SMU. Weren't they allowed to practice as well?
  13. I'm guessing if they don't announce UNIs before the sason, then they will do different ones during the year, like they did the helmets. Do a blackout uniform for Halloween (believe UTSA did last year).. LOL do an all green uni for when they play Iowa and call it there Pay-Day/Money Bag game unis.
  14. But offer lists and star ratings are the most important...
  15. C-USA would be smart to pair with any and every possible streaming thing available. People have talked about how the C-USA livestream isn't great, so this could be a way to get other schools to improve there TV game, or if not then they only stream/show schools with quality production. UNT had a game last year stream on the CampusInsiders App (app on your phone, laptop, even xbox as well) and it was great. Along with the game on twitter as well. Yes if it is free, it sucks that we aren't getting any $ from the deal but it helps get us in front of people. I have no idea how often recruits are out visiting schools but getting the conferences games on free apps like campusinsiders or pluto.tv would be nice. It allows for possible recruits to see and hear about the campus (in a limited fashion), and lets kids that are out of state as well a chance to see us.
  16. Honestly it needs to come back. Its 30 minutes that is pro- and all UNT. Let's the fans see the behind the scenes and develop s bond with these players as well. Also, it would likely help as well UNT marketing it as well. The Athletic Department doesn't have many followers on tweet that are seeking/ looking at the page every day. Heck, most student don't even know about. Campus-wide emails to all students, and MGC members on Tuesday or Wednesday evening to remind everyone, not just a tweet on Friday about a YouTube link.
  17. He is already here on campus.. guessing he got here after the others? Solid CB, was one of the first by our LB coach
  18. I would think it likely will and not till the start of the season, maybe a week before.
  19. Jenkins and Moore I think would likely be 2nd team or even honorable mention now... Young/English will hopefully have a break out year, and hopefully a healthy/ slightly less used Wilson (because of Nic Smith hopefully emerging) will led to him to being healthy all year, and Guyton should be a physical mismatch which with solid QB play he could be an honorable! Fingers crossed, alot rests on the OL and QB
  20. So as it looks we have 1 or 2 possible open slots if we do the whole 5 BS shirt thing again. 1 if they can't back date the BS scholarship, or 2 if they can backdate the BS.. I'm not in favor of adding Echol as a scholarship guy because of off the field (even if its minor) plus the depth at WR and the possibly playing time as mostly a return man. We need to find a grad-transfer or 2 that have more than 1 year of playing time left at OL and QB, maybe even LB and S to pair with McClain.
  21. Not to get off topic, but have you contacted WB about this?
  22. Need to see guys like Jenkins, Moore, Wilson, Young/English, and then a WR on the list for 2nd and honorable mention... If that happens then we will have had a successful year
  23. Most likely a URL code that is put into the email. It says click the link above and enter the code. We should not be worried about Freebies. We have more than enough open seats at all sporting events. Even if this brings in even 100-200 of the average 8,000 graduates, it is still a success. We need to get more butts in the seats. If that means free tickets and then making 1 or 2 extra bucks from these recent grads through them buying nachos or sodas its still some extra $ or an extra 25 bucks for them to park and tailgate, do it! Heck, I would like to see WB and NS even hold a pre-game BBQ or something in the superpit for these recent grads that come. Tell them about what the changes that are hoping/ coming to UNT in terms of athletics. Show them designs of the IPF, etc. Allow them to get excited but also, let them see the changes of what is happening from when they started at UNT and what is coming in the next few years and hopefully it spreads/ leads to grads coming back and some extra donations or potential donations. Even allow them a 1-time pass to go into the HUB club or other perks that season ticket holders get to allow them to see what they can expect (if they don't have access to that stuff already) Again, yes its likely slightly upsetting to people that have donated or been long term season ticket holders, but after the lack of success that we have had in recent years it is needed. We saw another thread on here that showed how horrible the Season Tickets sales were in the past, and if this leads to a 20-30 new members every year it will add up.
