Listen, I know who you are. I have a pretty good idea of how much you give the university, too. I respect that...a lot. That said, it is this mentality and attitude that drives so many potentional fans and donors away. I have witnessed people of your status talk down to and treat other fans like trash because they weren't "elite enough" (I've been on the receiving end of this treatment, too). That shit may fly with your corporate buddies, but it isn't tolerated amongst those who could make the biggest difference in the program: those who can make the small gifts. This was the problem with Mandy McKinley; she was more interested in kissing the asses of your ilk than coming into contact with the masses...and North Texas suffered for it.
Ummm...no. You're just being a pompous, look-at-me-and-my-money, dick.
The nasty, better-than-you attitude of people like you needs to stop. Now. Not everyone can afford to throw down the kind of money you do. That doesn't make them any less of a fan, nor does it make their opinion any less valid. The quicker you understand, accept, and embrace that fact...the quicker North Texas will find more small-time donors to add to the big money you, so graciously, donate.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm sick and tired of this kind of attitude that a few people around here have. It was this kind of attitude and treatment that pushed me away from the program (I was a season ticket holder, if you're so interested). North Texas fans are few and far between...and this kind of crap does nothing by push away the few fans this program has left.
