Nice timing with that...turns out he's Cassidy in the Preacher series on AMC.  Exactly who I was hoping they'd cast!  And if it's true to the comics, it will be much grosser than that comment.

90 is pessimistic, hates all things RV, and assumes everything RV touches will fail based on his experiences.

Seuss is optimistic and is enthusiastic about the program outside of his feelings for the person running the athletics department.

90 is a whipped dog, Seuss hasn't been beaten down as many times as 90 so he still exudes positivity.

I understand 90's perspective but I appreciate Seuss's perspective more because what is the point of coming on the board and caring about this program if you expect to fail regardless of any changes made.

Because I'm MONETARILY invested. If I hadn't purchased club seats, I would do what so many before have done, simply walk away until RV is no longer AD, and only come back if the next AD hire new what they were doing and had a plan.

Unfortunately, I have sunk a considerable portion of my income into club seats. The return on investment has quite frankly sucked. And just when I may have figured out a way to divorce myself temporarily from this program while maintaining the investment, RV gives some rambling statement that indicates a massive increase in MGC donation level will be required to keep those club seats.

So I don't have the option to walk away right now. If I did, I would have. 

I would advise anyone considering purchasing club seats to wait until UNT has a new AD. Otherwise, you will just be throwing money in the trash. 

I'll be here until RV is gone or I walk away. If I was just a regular season ticket holder and MGC member, I would have left before last year.

Question it, and prepared to be insulted. So dumb.

The irony of this comment is just so thick.  Talk about pot calling kettle.  Folks disagree with you and you are so quick with a response calling someone a snot nosed juvenile or a RV lover, etc....  You have become comedy gold for the rest of us.  I tell you to call the ticket office to get an answer ans all of a sudden I am a disciple of RV's school of marketing.  You blind hatred has, well, blinded you.

Apparently you didn't read the post that warranted that mocking response, or you just chose to attempt to pigeonhole me into what you want me to be.

Kinda sad.

And just for the record, I should call the ticket office about an increase that hasn't been announced, they haven't sent out literature about, and RV couldn't coherently explain?

Take a guess how that conversation will go, after I spend 20 minutes on hold...

As far as comedy gold, you also provide it by accepting losing as a way of life.

Where did you ever get that accept losing.  Talk about pigeon-holing.  

Yes, if you have a question about ticket prices, go to the ticket office to get an answer, not a fan message board where it comes across as just more bitching about RV.

You name call and act childish towards anyone that doesn't share your views.  I am not a fan of RV as I think he has accomplished all he is capable of at UNT.  I am appreciative of the advances in facilities, etc... under his leadership but it is now time for a change.  I just think there are more effective means than flying banners and acting childish on a message board.

Honestly, I don't know why I, or any other poster, continues to respond to your constant drivel.

Nor I to yours. 

I'm glad you see how pigeonholing works, now maybe some self examination is in order, as you inserted yourself into this conversation and accused me of blind hatred, which is just dumb.

I have never commented on anything about RV except his job performance, which absolutely sucks. Others on here have made personal comments about RV, which I find out of line. But you don't agree with me, so you label me. How does that make you feel?

Labelling? Umm, okay.

I feel great, thanks for asking.

Yes, labeling.  

I don't believe this program can be successful with RV as the AD. 15 years bear that out. I don't think Littrell will automatically be successful here, and I don't think the current AD will give him the tools to be successful. Frankly, if he succeeds it would be a major miracle and a P5 should snap him up quickly. He faces steep odds. 

If that makes me full of "blind hatred," so be it.

It's December and the days are getting shorter and cooler. 

UNT90 - if RV didn't do such a terrible job scheduling the seasons, that wouldn't happen.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I would take 30-60 as a success overall but what I really don't want is a defense that gets absolutely steamrolled in any one game. Show me you can adjust during games to counter opponent's adjustments. I do put some of Caponi's failure on Eric Morris with his poor game management so I guess we'll see if he can do some soul searching this offseason.

      I'm sure there are some more experienced guys that have legitimate claim to serious looks. I just never got the vibe that there was one or two home-run hires available to us.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green: 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      What's a reasonable expectation for our defense? Given this offense and the history of the Leach tree, I dnh't think T30 is within reach, but can we feel comfortable if Cassity gets this in the T30-60 range? Do we win 9-10 games with that level of play? Consider me cautiously optimistic. I totally get the concerns, too.
