Here's another possibility -- you could move Hank to play by play and bring in a beloved former player/coach for color. I have heard other schools that do this, Baylor for instance...SMU did it for awhile. And I have no idea if he would be interested but would love to see former coach Chuck Mills considered. It's not his profession but man this guy is entertaining and would bring a great historical perspective. Former player and coach at UNT. He's also a fan, I see him at all of the games and functions.

Interesting idea, but with all the alumni we have doing play by play work i personally would prefer one of them. I voted for Dave Barnett, but I doubt it would work. I hadn't thought of Brian Briscoe in ages!

UNT90. He could begin every broadcast with "It's a beautiful day here at Apogee stadium...of course it would be far more beautiful if we were broadcasting from here SIX times a year and not just five

Yup, I voted for him but it's highly unrealistic. Maybe during Football season only but he's the best of the group for sure.

Mark Followill does regional FB as it is through I want to say ESPN or Fox Sports college football. Plus his Mavs gig is really good so he is definitely out of the question.

@espn_macmahon: Congrats to George Dunham on a great run as the voice of the Mean Green. North Texas alum @tedemrich would be a tremendous replacement.

@tedemrich: . @espn_macmahon whoever steps into that booth has giant shoes to fill. Would be an honor to be considered.

Just a great reflection of the University's RTF program that we have the options we have.

Bass, Phillips or Emrich

...but I love Followill (probably too busy) and Barnett, and Bartolatta does a great job.

How about Byrd for the supporting role!

People keep throwing Sean bass out there. Is he a play by play guy or just a proud alum that happens to be on the radio?

Gonna have to turn the bass down if he gets on my radio.

Plus, he'll be a little busy coaching during the games.

I'm wondering this too. He's leading the voting here by quite a margin. I myself voted for Barnett. Haven't heard him call a b-ball game before, but I've heard him call a UNT FB game, and it was fantastic.

I like the realist tone you get with Sean...anti-Dave South. But come to think of it, I am not sure I have heard him do actual play by play. Sideline work and Diamond Talk provide more analysis than description but I think he is capable and qualified.

Gus Johnson baby. He could make even the worst of Benford's seasons exciting.

(Seriously, I'd take anyone of the favorites on the list -- all seem reasonable)

Brent is a terrific guy. Played football with him from 6th grade through high school. There's no one from high school I have more respect for as a person.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      Agree Mosley is a bad hire, the guy doesn't show any emotion and passion for UNT. Quite frankly, he's boring

      Honest tactical question here…

      Well MK, we have been running the damn ball. I believe I'm correct in stating that our leading rusher is Shane Porter, a 186lb WR transfer with (near as I can tell) a bum shoulder from Kansas State. He averages 7.2 yards per carry. McGill averages 5 yards per carry, and occasionally Sibley (#21) gets into the game. None of these guys was a starter in the beginning of the season. We have lost the services of Ragsdale, a very promising D. Harris (#44) who averaged 8.8 yards before he got injured, and Evans (#26) who was averaging 6.4 before he was injured. We have rushed for 1737 yards, and our opponents have put up 2269. Although sometimes it seems like much more. All things considered; I'd say that (except for very short yardage) we were running the ball pretty good. And this doesn't even take into account how many starting linemen we have lost since the first game of the season. What I think would have made almost as much difference as anything for us would have been the presence of 3 or 4 effective run disrupters in the middle of our defense.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      A long time ago, when I was younger and Harry was running this board on a different setup with a guy named "Scotty" -- he just threw his hands up and said "I'M OUT." In my younger and more idealist vision, why would he do that? Why can't UNT be that sleeping giant and be TCU that invigorates their program? I went with @Cerebus to grab some tickets from Scotty since he wasn't going to use them anymore and I could definitely talk someone to use them. He was a normal guy, not angry, not a monster, just a dude. A dude who wanted to use him time and money elsewhere. Still, as an more mature and realist, I still don't know why not UNT. But I get Scotty. This AD is terrible. Moseley and his C-suites are terrible hires. Wren wasn't good. At that VERY least with RV he made the fans like us feel heard and appreciated. RV definitely had his faults and I was not a big fan. Chief Revenue Officer. LOL. General Manager. LOL.

      Stupid post. What you want us to become a craphole like UTA? I question your allegiance for even asking that.

      You make some great points. I am starting to think we need a Doge type of audit of the AD. We have a HUGE AD budget compared to similar AAC schools and are not getting results.
