I think Plumm posted this question a while back, but I think it's worth repeating during this bowl season. TCU has positioned itself quit nicely, and while not in a BCS conference, has managed to garner national and LOCAL respect and has become a force to be reconed with every year and is a legit Top 25 team. So, why can we not do the same thing? Yes, I know the Sun Belt is the dregs of college football, but so what? Do we just use that as an excuse to NOT recruit blue chip talent? Can't blame it on facilities, or lack thereof, anymore. Fouts, you say? BS! We're stuck with it, so deal with it and focus on the positivies this school has to offer. North Texas should not have to take a backseat to anyone! If the students and local fan base would get off their dead asses and attend games, that would be a shot in the arm this program needs. While attendance continues to improve for football, have you been to a basketball game lately? Embarrasing and pathetic attendance. There are many fingers to be pointed for sure, but the biggest (and should be MIDDLE finger) should be pointed squarely at Administration who continually hamstring the AD and ignore and alienate the passionate alumni who become not so passionate anymore. Or some of those on the "Negative Board" who "on principle" will not support the AD by buying tickets and have nothing better to do except criticize RV and DD at every turn. (Maybe they are members of the DNC!) I say that it is time for administrators, coaches, and fans to stop making excuses and lets just 'git er done!' Go ahead and fire away, but most importantly, have a Merry Christmas. GO MEAN GREEN. Beat the hell outta Houston!
