Good post.

I would add that if new facilities (especially Apogee) and upgraded (somewhat) conference affiliation was supposed to get us much more competitive, then why haven't the recruits noticed? From what I observed during this last recruiting round our new (and young and energetic) staff struggled to get three or four or five star recruits to come here to visit much less sign on the dotted line. 

Why is that? If we really wanted to know how to improve our athletic department we ought to make contact with those players that we really wanted and who we thought we had a chance with, but went somewhere else. You can't buy anything on-line these days without that on-line company asking you to evaluate your buying, or near buying experience (I got a thank you from Sams for browsing their web-site) with them. Have we thought about doing the same thing?

Now, HERE is a volunteer project that I would gladly participate in. Give me a list of players and their contact information, that we targeted in the past to sign here but went another direction, and I will get this University some feed-back. 

That's assuming of course that this University, or more to the point, this athletic department, really wants honest feed-back from someone other than frustrated, disheartened and angry alumni.

Alumni contacting players from other teams.....what could go wrong there?????  Banned from any hopes of post season play forever, that is what could go wrong....Granted, we would have to get to a bowl to be banned from a bowl....but you get the gist.  NCAA is strict on player contact from Alumni for sure....

I wanted to bring this up a couple weeks ago, but figured it would pass after 24 hours and decided against it.  My thoughts and feelings on the matter have not changed and now I just have to ask:

For me, it's not the losing so much as the cause of the losing having zero consequences and rich friends that protect and care more about the cause of losing than the student athletes or UNT.

While I understand some of your point, it isn't a violation to contact another team's player.

Twitter contact is permissible. Until the NCAA catches up to that one. Though it's possible they leave that alone, kids like getting Twitter 'love' and they can control when they get notifications and such so it's not as burdensome as receiving phone calls.

Some folks have no idea what other boards are like I suppose?  A poster of a competing Aggie board has a gif in his sig line of the owner of TexAgs.com deep throating a dildo.

Believe me,...most other college fan boards are several  times more demanding in holding their AD department accountable, and any lickbagger that doesn't is dealt with accordingly.

GMG is the Candy Land of fan message boards.

So we shouldn't attempt to be better than others? If the other message boards were jumping off a bridge, would you do it too?

I don't think Rick is trying to justify anything, just trying to put perspective on things.

This is a public internet forum...a very tame one thanks to the moderators.

I'm already permanently banned,..can't you see that?  It's an obsession with them to permanently ban.  Works like a charm, too!

Fair enough, and I am glad for it. I would definitely not be here if it was as described.

Yeah, seriously.

I kind of chuckled when I read the original post in this thread. Online forums can seem to be fairly hostile places, but you need to remember that hostility/insults coming from a forum post aren't in any way the same as being insulted in a face-to-face argument. It's part of the fun IMO. This place is nothing like the other forums I go to.

Nah, we should suck AD balls every chance we get, right?

I would prefer "somewhat civil". 

I know what FFR is talking about. I remember the last time we played Baylor and I went to that "Christian" school's fan web-site. After a few posts I had to go to my Baptist-raised-TWU-graduate-wife who said that when she was in college she and her friends used to call us (with tongue planted firmly against cheek) "that bunch of heathens across town" and say "please give me your definition of heathen again?. We're just a bunch of (using his best British accent) naughty boys compared to the Baptist version of Animal House down there in Waco".

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.
