Politics baby! Who gives the most gets the ear of the decision maker. But I also believe the 17 care for their school. Maybe they had the input to fire MAC! I bet those three alums they gave over $1m each at halftime, with nobody in the stands said something! GOOD!

Why would they come on here and say "me, I'm one of the 17"? So you guys can bombard them, tell them what bad people they are, how they don't care about your university because they see things differently than you"?

Here is an idea and no doubt a very unpopular one at this time but maybe, just maybe, these 17 got to the means they have by making good decisions in life and not doing the popular thing. Maybe they are protecting us from ourselves. Maybe they are wise not to make rash decisions. Maybe the candidates that are available just aren't as good as RV. None of us know that, but I trust these guys because they wouldn't be able to donate over $15k every year if they had bad judgment.

I can't wait until I inherit the family business and suddenly become smarter than all of you commoners.

 

While we're at it, let's examine the latest Forbes list of billionaires and see who should be the Lords and Ladies of our world.  Feudalism, baby!

An empty stadium and a losing product that makes many student ashamed to wear UNT when they go home for the summer speaks for itself.  So until the pockets of the 17 get deep enough to pay 10k people to come to a game I really don't see the value in this debate.  The university isn't serious about winning and anyone who is objective should know that by now.

The one time I've ever really seen it was the K-State Fouts finale game back in 2010.  Gotta admit that when well executed, I did indeed kinda sorta enjoy watching it.  But then again, we'd just been through four years of everybody stare at the sidelines for forty seconds, go long, and hope for the best.

And it appears that is where some want to return, include the current AD.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.

      A Big 10 vs SEC invitational College Football Playoff is of no interest to me. This will be the 2nd time Tennessee and Ohio State have played in their history. The Clemson vs Texas game will be their first matchup EVER. That to me highlights the absurdity of the out of conference scheduling for the bigger brand teams. And if Alabama went up to Penn State and got blown out exactly the same way nobody would mention it next year when they are in consideration for a wildcard spot with 2 (or maybe even 3) losses.
