Who misses Derek Thompson now?

UNT90 · November 17, 2015

Yes, this is 1/2 troll post, 1/2 serious post.

I think it became clear after DT left that the offense was a hinderance to DT, not the other way around.

Some may lie, but every single UNT fan would give their left nut or ovary to have DT behind center this year

EVERY

SINGLE

ONE.

Its so hard being so right so often, mofos!!

Do we get the defense back, too?

No?

Then, I guess losing by an average of 2 scores vs. 4 is really special to you.

Come on. Say it with me. I know it kills you, but you can do it. Ready:

UNT90 was right!

Now, feel the release of tension that letting go of that strongest human emotion, denial, brings!

Isnt it Cathartic!!

Yep, Thompson always had a very good defense to come to his rescue when he couldn't move the offense on his own.....which was often.

See post directly above yours.

Its hard to move a run run pass offense.

no doubt RVs biggest failure here was his inability to get Thompson an eighth year of eligibility.

at least he hired a crew to patch up the cracks in the end zone wall.

I never once took a stand in this big debate, but somehow, you gathered your resolve and figured out that a decent QB is better than a make-a-wish kid, some quitters, a guy with a pool noodle taped to what was most likely an amputation, and the guy who is still learning how to put in real effort and practice.

That said, the team could also have scored 30 in every single game this season and would still have the same record, so really not sure why you're doing this, but I think everyone appreciates a new thread.

Tbh, I didn't think he would be so difficult to replace. There's really no reason we should be struggling to replace 2700 tds 1:1.

With that said, if he didn't have that D backing him every step of the way we would have had a losing season in 2013 as well. That is truth and there is no hiding from that. So do I miss DT? No, not really.

akriesman · November 17, 2015

Sure, I would take DT right now. But, I would also also take a one-eyed man in the land of the blind to hire as my pilot given no other choices.

For a guy who always demands greatness from UNT, I find it odd that you champion a QB that was nothing more than average...go look at his numbers and tell me I'm wrong.

Sure, I miss DT, but I miss our special teams and defense more because they were actually great.

I miss Derek Thompson like I missed my old 4x4 Dodge Ram after I got an F150. Sure, it was what I needed at the time and got me through some tough mud, but it never would have lasted and if I had kept it I would still be bitching about all the things on it that need fixing.

Greatness?

Hell, I'd champion average at this point. Average is about 10 steps up from what we are getting out of the current AD.

Things are so bad I even miss Todd Dodge. 8-(

You can't compare DT to RV....

I think this is an ingenious way to prove that your little rants and campaigns are not about ego. I would have never thought to start a thread with "Its so hard being so right so often, mofos!!" in order to demonstrate humility and a lack of self-serving attitudes.

Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Notice how you attack my humility without ever implying I was wrong?

Why you killin' the messager?

Derek Thompson was the RV of quarterbacks.

Mostly bad, some good, and when we get a good one in here we'll realize how low our standards were.

But both will somehow end up in the HOF (see low standards) and somehow before Booger (see crime against humanity).

It is threads like these that make me wonder why I keep coming back.

Booger was inducted in 2013. Where you been?

Like it or not, Derek Thompson will be in the HoF. He's top 5 in just about every all-time QB statistic. I have no problem with that.
The buildings keeping Rick in a job here are the very things that will get him elected to the HoF. I have no problem with that either.

Wait.....what??! Are you telling me we have other players from the bowl years in the HOF AHEAD OF BOOGER?! I don't know how I missed that. To right this wrong, our HOF class this year should be a class of one. Booger Kennedy, alone.

KingDL1 · November 17, 2015

No, I do miss that team though

Damn, should've googled. I stand corrected.

I am more willing to bet you are sitting corrected. Unless you have one of those new adjustable desks that allow you to work at your desk while standing...

I am just asking that you don't blatantly lie to the GMG nation like that. it is rude and unbecoming.

has any other UNT player had as many topics started about him, post-UNT-career, then DT?

Question, no info.

Question, no info.

Lance Dunbar has threads every single week he plays. Pat did too. Craig has quite a few started about him too.

Oh, and let's not forget about Riley Dodge. We must keep up with him.
