Its a good time to review the 2015 schedule, it's affect on losing, and it's overall affect on the future of Mean Green Football.

I have long pointed to this particular year as a year that there would be 5 home games. This was due to the Iowa whore game scheduled in 2009 and the Tennessee whore game scheduled in what seems like the 1990s and moved to 2015 in 2011.

So Iowa scheduled in 2009 and Tennessee in 2011. Remember that. 

As we headed into 2015, we tried to buy our own whore, something we had to do to simply get to 5 home games. We apparently let our whore name the time, if not the place, as RV wasn't even skilled enough to purchase a whore for opening day.

While every other college in America opened football season, UNT sat in their dorm rooms. 

Then we opened at SMU to a beat down, returned home for a Rice beat down, whored ourselves to Iowa for a beat down, then...

Had homecoming on Texas-OU weekend with a 4PM start time, barely after Texas-OU had ended. So those with kids and Saturday morning sports got to tailgate for 2 hours, maybe. And this wasn't for TV. There was none. But we played the game at 4PM. 

Maybe Rick and the 17 had dinner reservations on the square at 8:00? Priorities. And it's clear this season was one to RV. 

So, the whore we bought named the date and rolled us for 450k. Rolled us hard. To the tune of the worst loss in FBS history. 

But why did we have to buy a whore anyway? Because of Tulsa, right? I mean, that's what RV said. Tulsa screwed us out of a 6 home game season when they left the conference in 2013.

Except we already had 2 whorin dates scheduled for 2015 when that happened. Those were scheduled in 2009 and 2011, remember? 

Oh? You say SMU series must not have been scheduled until after Tulsa decided to leave in 2013? 

Wrong again. It was scheduled in 2008: http://m.meangreensports.com/m/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/062708aaa.html 

So, surely Tulsa was originally scheduled in place of Portland St. to be at UNT in 2015, right? That has to be it. Except it isn't. Because UNT would have been playing at Tulsa in 2014 if this were the case, correct? Well...

UNT played at UT and at Indiana in 2014. UT had been scheduled years earlier and Indiana was a return of a 1 and 1. So, if Tulsa would have been an away game in 2014, SMU would have been our only home game. 

So to recap, RV has said Tulsa caused this year's 5 home games. UNT played Tulsa in 2011. That was the last game of that contract.In 2013, we entered a conference with Tulsa, and played at Tulsa again. If there was a new contract, Why wouldn't Tulsa have played at in 2014? When is that return Tulsa game owed? It isn't. It's a lie of convenience by Rick Villarreal, and a lie he has re-issued several times. 

Then the next home game is a Thursday night against WKU. Shocked that only 10k showed up to present UNT on national TV? 

Then we FINALLY get a Saturday game at 6PM... On Halloween... If you wanted a game to have a 2:00PM start, this game was begging for it. But no, this AD thought 6PM on Halloween was right. And about 10k fans tolerated the decision. 

And then, after all that crap ass scheduling, we get 3 straight road games in November, followed by a game in Saturday after Thanksgiving against UTEP, a team that normally brings a large amount of fans to Apogee...

Unless it's the Saturday after Thanksgiving. 

The lack of effort and foresight put into this schedule is reason enough to fire an AD, much less when it's reason number 1362. 

The loss to Portland St has put this program back  at least 8 years in how this program is perceived. That is a direct result of lazy schedule management. 

Would we have won more with a better schedule? Maybe. Especially with one more home game. Did this schedule ensure a less than 3 win season when it became clear we had no option at QB? You better believe it.

Rather concise...send it to the president and see if anything can be refuted...

Refuted by RV, who will email me within 24 hours of it landing on Smatresk's desk?

There is absolutely no excuse to start the season with a bye week and incompetence is not a defense either. RV is horrible at scheduling but he makes up for it by running off fans with his mouth. He said he has things left to do here, I agree with him, if that thing to do is drafting his resignation letter for his love of this university.

      Offensive Woes

      People loved Leach and they watched him raise Tech up to #2 that one miraculous time. But that system is only meant to compete over time against teams with less talent on defense. Whenever it faces ANYONE with legitimated defensive talent or coaching, it almost always loses. Tech, Wazzu, and MSU were always the same thing under Leach. But people adored Leach’s quirkiness and randomness, so he got a pass. These Leach disciples aren’t ever gonna win anything of note. And I completely blame Leach for his influence on turning TX HS football into glorified 7-on-7. Today, linemen and defense are hardly produced at any decent level in this state. Why? Because this crap doesn’t condone hitting in practice or focusing on defense. Instead, we get basketball scores for the winning teams.

      2025 DC Wish List

      I would like to follow the Indiana model of recent success with Cignetti from James Madison. Hire a successful DC that has a winning environment and bring a bunch of his defense with him.

      no doubt. I think we could end up with a sneaky tough non-con...though not contributing that will be this current Minnesota team as Yale is currently doing the exact same thing we did
