The Banner will fly

Prepare to be underwhelmed.

What does RV's motto have to do with this?

[Matt from A700]

Hoping the plane makes sure it's right above campus from 12:50-1:00 as that's when students are getting out of class and walking to their next class or back to their car/dorm. 

Actually on Tuesday/Thursday, most classes are 80 minutes and start at 12:30 and get out at 1:50. So 1:30-2:30 or 10:30-11:30 would have been a better time.

It should be.

So, UNT90 sets up a site, announces the rules, pleads for donations, sets the parameters for the funds use, and then on his own changes the rules and decides for himself when the banner will be flown.  All the while he yells to high heaven about some supposed broken promises by RV.  My my perhaps actually having to manage something is a bit more challenging than just sitting back on a message board and throwing rocks.

How about a GoFundMe site to raise funds for a fire UNT90 banner...the guy that broke the agreement with donors?  Seems like power has corrupted 90 and his hubris about how easy it is to manage stuff is just that...internet board hubris.  Agreements in fund raising...heck those pesky agreements don't mean nothing when you are UNT90.  Too funny this irony stuff.

Gee, Wally, really swell of you to change the game on your own.  I would say that the irony is just about too much to take here folks.  Even you ardent RV haters must see the irony in this and smile just a tad.

the banner scheduling is worse than RV's.

I blame Tulsa.   

Everyone can say what they want, but for someone like me who's been a long-time follower and supporter of all things North Texas (especially athletics) it's refreshing to finally see fans that are passionate and committed enough to actually do something rather than just fade back into the crowd and once again become Apathy U.

[KRAM1]

I doubt you contribute to anything UNT, so no great loss. 

But look, I'm in negotiations with the Tennessee fan base to fly a banner at their stadium. That's a one and one with a P5, mofo. 

I have the email... er, post to prove it. If you will just stop by that welcome Tennessee fans thread, you will see.

I mean, ask Kram. He has seen it.

Hmmmm....no...I ain't seen no stinking post!

This is confirmed.  Thanks 90.

Seems like walking around campus and handing out flyers would be as effective.  Not saying, well yeah I guess I am saying.

See, here's the difference. UNT90 looked at the situation and said "I know the plan was to fly the banner at the UTEP game, but is there a way to get more visibility. A way to get the banner out on a day when there are fewer sports headlines, thus garnering more attention. A way to get more bang for the buck. A way to get it in front of more than 2000 sad nut-punched fans? That's a big difference than a broken promise. It's one thing to break an agreement(seat backs anyone?). It's an entirely different thing to change the agreement for an even better deal. You see, UNT90 sees a problem and the actually tries to fix it. He looks for solutions to make lemonade out of lemons. It's really a novel idea that RV may want to try out. Aww heck Wally, we only have 28 more months of this to go anyway. And keep in mind, RV is making several hundred thousand dollars a year to do the bang-up job he's doing. UNT90 is trying to better this athletic department free of charge.

Did you contribute? If not, STFU...

Ha!  I see my post hit a little too close to home for you.  Yet, you love posting the same about others.  Man, talk about the shoe being on the other foot. Don't enjoy it much when it is your motives and actions being discussed, huh?  Gee, why so thin skinned?  When someone points out the irony you start with the "oh, you shouldn't have a say because you didn't contribute to my childish efforts".  Really, then all those loudly proclaiming they no longer contribute to the Mean Green Club or UNT should no longer post either in ur opinion, right?  Oh, the irony...the beautiful irony.  Thanks for letting us all know how butt hurt you are when it hits a tad close to home.  It just adds to the whole adventure.

Wait...I hear a plane.........is it game day? 

[UNT90]

Strong North wind is causing a 10-15 minute delay in the plane getting there. Should be over campus by 12:45.

It bothers me immensely when calls to action use poor math.  850 of 72,000 is 1.18%, not 0.01%.  There's a mighty big difference between the two.

Mark, you're being silly.

Between this and the Missouri thing, I can't figure out what students are to do at college anymore.  But, from this flyer and the Missouri Starving Guy's rambling thing he wrote, I'm certain that it's not to learn the proper use of grammar.  The purpose seems to be so far flung from learning anything useful.

Mark, you're being silly.

Really?  More like having fun with irony.  Remember, UNT90 always tells folks it is just a message board and to get over it....that is, I guess until it hits a tad to close for him and then it is all "STFU"!  Ain't irony just super fun?  

Why not have some fun with 90's broken covenant?  It's just a message board after all, right, Christopher?  I can now sit back and watch folks attempt to justify how it is "different" than what UNT90 claims RV does.  That's going to get to be even fun.

I do believe it has already started.  Just think of all the new "hits" GMG.Com will get.

How dare you change it. YOU SAID it would be 12:30. Think of Kram and his feelings!

I hear the pilot decided to just change the agreement due to wind conditions and will now be flying the banner over UNT-Dallas.

[Withers940]

How big is this banner? Is it going to be the same size as the Ozarka banner that was randomly flown over Denton a couple days ago?

You are right Kram, it IS just a message board. I'm not sure irony means what you think it means though. Irony would be UNT90 promising the banner would fly and then simply not delivering at all(we'll go back to the seat back example for simplicity purposes). Irony would be the banner not flying and then UNT90 saying that he never said it would(scheduling). See how that works?

He asked me "that school that lost by 59 to an FCS?", so I think he knows where it is.

Hey, we're a music school - math really isn't our bread-and-butter

Woa woa woa. I thought size didn't matter?
