Have a plane fly directly behind it with a banner that says,  "Sincerely, every North Texas opponent"

The pro R.V. banner was funded by UNT fans who just happen to respectfully disagree with those who would have him fired. Rick Villarreal knew nothing about it. I know, because I contributed to the fun

Final warning.  Stop being rude, stop telling people to GTFO.  Next time it happens you join Cougar King on Moderated Posting.

Did the original banner organizer offer each and every donor the opportunity for a refund since the game plan was changed mid-stream from the original?

Yes, as you've been told multiple times. But anyone who pays for a banner plane knows that it only will fly if weather conditions permit. There was never an absolute guarantee it would fly over a specific game. Nobody who donated had the concerns you've been expressing on our behalf for weeks.

Just...

People in life are going to disagree with you. I hope you learn to address it more constructively, son.

Yet not on the behalf of the same folks that scheduled a "RV is God" banner on the same day. 

Isnt that interesting?

#allbannerlivesmatter  It is unbelievable to me that someone would fly a banner supporting the atrocity that is RV because he does not have good results.  Sure, he was AD while many raised money for him to build buildings.  However, a GOOD AD could foster the same building of buildings and run a successful, or at least moderate, sports program.  RV is not capable of running a successful sports program; thus, he must go.

All that being said, it's great that fans are passionate enough to fund banners.  To those concerned about the $1000: that's a bar bill for some.  They can fund a banner, fund scholarships, etc.  Don't worry about the money, celebrate the passion.  I'm glad to see both banners discussed and the most appropriate banner actually fly.  I must have taken 50 pictures of that beautiful banner....and I'll happily contribute to another...assuming it further contributes to the relocation of the UNT RV.

Go Mean Green.  Let's get a damn good coach in here that can recruit and work with what we have...and let's fly more banners.

Dude, we are on the same page on a lot of issues on this board. But seriously, the internet tough guy thing is getting old. If you're going to be too childish to engage in civil discourse and be a grown up about other viewpoints, I'm not sure you're old enough to be on the internet. I may not agree with a lot of what the supporters of Rick Villarreal are putting out, but it is their opinion. To sit there and start with the GTFO comments really doesn't add any gravitas to your statements. Being passionate about your view points is one thing, but be an adult about it.

Did anyone get a good high-resolution photo of the banner flying?

This whole thing is just getting to be stupid

This is a purge for this fanbase, and exactly what is needed.

For the first time in my history supporting UNT, RV has faced hard questions about a terrible performance record, just like what would have happened at a real FBS athletic program after the Dodge failure.

Think of it as this program growing up, and right now we are going through puberty.

Great post.  Rick has built buildings but he hasn't built a solid financial base or a solid season ticket holders base.  It seems we're very dependent upon a handful of donors which is no way to run an AD office.  However, it is a nice way to gain some job security for an insecure person.  He's made a couple of good coaching hires ... and a bunch of hires that weren't just bad - they were program killing bad.  

I could care less about the small faction that supports RV ... they're just insane.  However, how many schools would do a banner to get rid of an athletic director?  How many places would have students passing out papers listing RV's failures?  I love it.

I'm not trying to be an internet tough guy. And Wardly is right, peiple are entitled to their own opinions no matter how gawd awful their opinion is.

That's a good attitude, run with that.  It will save you ulcers later in life.

Says the guy who has threatened to fight people via internet forum before. Nah, no tough guy attitude there

Because that's what people on here say. Go find a post with me threatening people...please. I push my opinion in a brash way 100% of the time because I have to wade through stupidity much like this very thread. If that is hurtful to people or offensive then so be it. Hint: I don't care.

Before Homecoming, you posted to CBL that he wouldn't say $hit he posted directly to your face...

Most people consider that close to threatening--unless you are Ike Turner or OJ.

If that is threatening to people then people are feather pillow soft. That is not my problem.

As much as I hate to say it, my money was on the hippie in this one...

But it was merely the undercard to me (Everyman) against Fly (secret club room member, RV super friend). 

Of course our match would have lasted about 30 seconds before we both collapsed from fatigue...

I picture CBL being like Gordon Keith, while Ben Gooding was more like Greggo...lots of wise-cracking, making BG more mad until he loses his cool, and goes to hit CBL, only to see some cocaine and get totally distracted inside the ring.

As for you two, I see you getting in the ring, only to see some ex-UNT football player facing off against you, with Fly throwing $100 bills into the corner, just for him to use to wipe his face, all while RV gets the BOR to invalidate your diploma.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
